Twitch plays Pokemon

G.J.

It kind of reminds me of Big Brother for some reason.

Nothing happens for ages, and when something does happen, it's completely blown out of proportion due to it being a lot more exciting than everything else that was happening (or wasn't happening).

They're at the last gym...but there's a ledge.
They've been overhitting it...or else walking straight back out of the gym and over the ledge for the last 18 hours now it seems

thebostoncrab

Giovanni has just been defeated!

Angron

Someone in my class shouted when Bird Jesus used Quick Attack to beat Rhydon :pac:

deathrider

They've just blown up the first of the Elite 4. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

They are on number 4 only this and the rival to go and its over!!!!! gonna finish it tonight

saidinmilamber

We just beat Lance. Blue, you're going down! This is just incredible!!

EDIT: We just blacked out

Kirby

Dying on elite four. Just blacked out against Onyx. There is some discussion in chat about needing to but Zapdos first but tbh its not worth the effort. Grinding it out will eventually lead to victory. Seeing Zapdos repeatedly use thunder and thunderbolt on a Onyx was head wrecking. :P

Vicxas

I was there for when they beat the Elite 4 and Blue, what a fight it was.


Was also hilarious when they almost hit new game XD

Yup, here's a video recap

Yep!

Looks like they're starting something else in 20 hours.

I was about to say thank Christ this ****e is over so it can stop clogging up my Facebook and reddit feeds, but if they're doing another game so soon, guess that's not going to happen...

I doubt the second game will have near enough followers. The "mythology" that happened organically in this playthrough will be forced in whatever comes next. Still though, this was a wonderful experience, and it's restored a huge amount of faith in humanity!!

Grimebox

The creator of it should have made it so only subscribers can speak in chat towards the end of it. It would have killed it but he would have made a lot of money before that. The sadistic side of me would have loved to see the community lose their **** :pac:

HA! You're wicked!!!

Hawke

I think I enjoy seeing people getting mad over seeing TPP stuff than the actual stream.

deathrider

Fair play to all involved there. That's some feat. They must have the collective patience of a saint.

Grimebox

They started again on Crystal. I thought gold/silver would have been the natural progression

Retr0gamer

Crystal has a lot more refinements and additions.

Same,

I never moved past Blue/Red though as I couldn't deal with another 100 new pokemon and then another 100 with every iteration of the games that came after.
They've been clutching as straws for a long time now with making new pokemon..

The 2 worst ones I remember hearing about are


An Ice cream pokemon, it has 3 forms !!!


and a Garbage pokemon

Grimebox

Oh I didn't realise crystal was a remake. I thought they just skipped one of the pokemon iterations altogether

You think they're bad...



Klefki. A pokemon based on a set of keys.

The designers are just looking around the house picking random objects and making them a pokemon at this stage.

MitchKoobski

Had to laugh at the take on their new Pidgey. Most people want to avoid just copying stuff over from Red/Blue, but some are still intent on the bird jesus thing. So they've called the new Pidgey "Brian".

That's somewhat unfair on the recent games. Every gen has had less than stellar additions (Muk and Grimer from 1 are just purple sludge for example). Gen 5 that the two you posted are from had one of my favorite 'mons in Hydreigon, a three headed dragon, and gen 6 hasn't been too bad either apart from car keys that's been mentioned. Pangoro looks kinda cool, and I love Tyrantrum.

Kirby

It's like anything else. Some will be good and some wont. You try designing 100 different creatures. At around 50 you are either recycling or just phoning it in....wait....a phone!

Cellfonemon!

MadYaker

How the fúck could somebody even think of doing this?? I don't even... ?

SeantheMan

I think it was a mistake to start Crystal straight away. They should have left it for a while and started it in a week or so. Build up a bit of anticipation.

Also they're not letting Totodile evolve. Bastards. :mad:

Don't diss the ice cream, that thing is fúcking BOSS! Had it in my team of six for Pokemon Black. Dragons were mercilessly torn apart.

Besides Gen I had Mr. Mime. Nothing will ever outdo that thing in terms of crappiness of concept or creepiness of design. *shudder*

Grimebox

I'd love to see a big developer like Valve or EA take this idea and run with it. If they came up with a decent concept and reduced latency, they could create a new genre. Massively multilayer single player games?

MitchKoobski

They've somehow managed to deposit everyone but Totodile in the PC and then released Sentret, and they still can't evolve the level 25 Totodile because some people keep entering 'b' to cancel it.

Edit: And they've managed to take them out again all apart from the Wooper which has been replaced by an egg.

G.J.

The second generation was the best for me. I loved having a new region to explore on top of the old region from R/B/Y. The new Pokémon were pretty good as well, probably my favourite three starters out of all the generations so far.

Grimebox

I never played anything other than Red/Blue. Every game after that seemed exactly the same with a new lick of paint

Kirby

X and Y are quite good. Still easy though. The only ones with any semblance of challenge at all, are Black and White 2. When you watch how bad the AI was in red and blue, it makes your head hurt.

X and Y were ruined for me because of how easy they were. The franchise was never a difficult one but my god they just throw exp at your pokemon in X/Y. I did the elite four and champion on my first go without needing to stock up on revives or potions etc.

cherryghost

Gold and Silver, best Pokemon game imo.

I'm playing through X at the moment, and really loving it. It's definitely not a tough game though. I had to turn EXP Share off pretty much as soon as I got it because it was making my team overpowered.

I'm inclinded to agree, but I've thoroughly enjoyed all the main series games I've played.

That's not a bad idea actually, I might do that on another playthrough. I'll never undertsand why Pokemon games don't have New Game Plus. They are made for that feature!

Retr0gamer

Well it's not like they don't have shed loads of post game content.

B2/W2 did. X/Y has basically nothing.

deathrider

New game plus would come in handy if you wanted to replay the story mode and still keep your original team for battling your mates.

Could you use the pokebank?

Might not work though, do they keep that rule that pokemon become uncontrollable at certain levels if you don't have enough badges.

Angron

Yup, that rule's still there.

But for multiplayer, that rule wouldn't matter, would it? Since all pokémon are set to level 50 for battles anyways.

Angron

For multiplayer, no, but for playing through the actual game it would. I mean, if you started with a level 100 something, you'd probably still walk the game cause you'd outlevel everything up to the last gym by a wide margin.
