Twitch

Who's been keeping up with it? For those of you not in the know, basically it's a twitch channel streaming Pokemon Red/Blue where the user has set up their emulator to accept commands from the twitch chat. Anyone can come in, type a/b/up/down whatever. So far the most I've seen on at once is a bit over 100k users. As you can imagine, progress is slow. I pop in a couple of times a day to check out progress and throw in a few inputs.

Highlights so far:

That smurfing ledge next to Pewter City only one space wide. One mothersmurfer presses down and it's all over.


Coordinating the cutting of a tree took many many hours.


Trying to get a pokemon that can learn surf. The hivemind opted for picking up an Eevee to evolve into a Vaporeon instead of getting Lapras. Accidentally got a firestone. They tried to dump the unwanted Flareon into the PC and instead they accidentally released Charmeleon and a Ratatta the fans affectionately refer to as "Jay Leno." Oops.

Spending a day and a half trying to clear Team Rocket HQ. Actually managed to navigate the mazes several times, only to accidentally use "dig" to warp out of the building and have to start over. This happened many many times and inspired the anarchy vs. democracy system you see in place now.



Obtained and immediately released a Hitmonlee. Oops.
