already got through two gyms but dude ain't got no inventory cause they keep tossingBeing a Pokémon master takes time and patience—beating a game in the franchise usually takes at least a couple dozen of hours. Now imagine trying to beat a Pokémon game while thousands of other people also control your avatar.
Now imagine that these thousands of people will do whatever they want to your avatar, as they may not even care if you beat the game at all.P
If it sounds like madness, it kind of is. As of this writing, there are nearly seven thousand people watching a Pokémon stream of the original games, Red and Blue (it's not clear which one it is). Here's where it gets interesting: someone has set the emulator such that it takes inputs from the chat on the side of the Twitch stream. The game only seems to recognizes the four D-Pad directions, A, B, Start and Select. The stream is called "Twitch Plays Pokemon," and so far, it's glorious. Here's a chunk of footage from last night, though you can also watch it live here.
Progresses is the key word here: sure, playing Pokémon via Twitch chat means that there is a massive lack of coordination, resulting in situations where it may take minutes for a character to walk through one measly door. Still, Twitch chat is doing it. At the moment, they're trying their best to get past the Cerulean City gym, which is requiring them to grind a little together. Meaning somehow, at some point, they beat the first gym together (Cerulean is the second gym in the original games). I know—watching, it may seem baffling as to how Twitch chat has managed that, given that it has spent the last dozen hours trying to beat said gym and given that some people are clearly interested in trolling the game. But it has! The wonders of the internet never cease.

wow.....
they're still in the mountain pass
They actually got passed it but were defeated by a trainer. They went back to Cerulean City.
no they're still stuck there.
it's probably because it started out as a handful of people who had a common goal, but now that there are a ton of people who heard about it are playing, they do it with intention of messing it up.
I know they are stuck there. They got passed it earlier though and were defeated, so it took them to the last Pokemon Center they used, which was in Cerulean City. So now they have to get passed this part again.
ah well i starting to be pessimistic about it now that more people are playing...especially anyone on the internet.
i stand corrected for now haha. they're actually through the cave..."based helix fossil" is cracking me up though.

almost to 30000 i was there when the lost the first nugget, and it was hilarious
s
Surprised none of the 4channers have written a script to spam START over and over again.
the guy changed the system up
yeah the new "government" feature is really interesting. maybe he's writing a thesis on this?
i was there when he first changed it, the anarchy vs democracy litterally came from people demanding anarchy back
now there's two factions lol. people who just want to do whatever and people who want to beat the game. there are already youtube videos up about being pro anarchy or democracy. it's getting ridiculous.
