Twitch Plays Pokemon

I can't wait for Omanyte to be revived... and then released.

"My son, you have heeded my advice well, but it is time to mark your own path. Go with my blessing and remember, the truth path listens to all voices equally, not the most favored." So were the last wise words of the Omanyte.
 
I find it funny that one of the only times that people in the chat work coherently in Anarchy is when they're trying to stay out of Lavender Town.
 
What's wrong with Lavender?
 
They got through the safari zone!
 
What's wrong with Lavender?
I find nothing wrong with it but apparently people are creeped out by the song cause of how it sounds and the Lavender Town Syndrome creepypastas in which people commit suicide listening to the song due to parts that have high pitch frequencies. I personally find it to be a Dead man's lullaby.

I expecting troll warping to the max in Silph Co. Kind of disappointing that they only need to click of the doors to activate the Card Key though, just imagine having to access that key in items over and over with this chat.
 
So there was a point where the commands weren't working.... and here was the chat at that time

So how did they manage to get surf?
 
Democracy through the Safari Zone. They made it to the house with 144 steps left.
 
That's incredibly boring and kind of sours the entire thing to me =/

Don't think I'm overly interested in it anymore.

You would be more interested in a literal never ending nightmare that is anarchy in the safari zone? Safari zone (and other places) are legit impossible to beat like that.

Yes I would, it was fun like that. It started off with a fun premise and then the developer changed it.

Well, I for one wasn't cool with them being stuck for days (if not forever until people grew so sick of it that no one tried something like this again) in things like the Rocket maze. And besides, isn't the democracy system only in place if the majority of streamers are voting for it? That means the game is crazy if the streamers want, but they are allowed to pull together if they want to.
 
I am so fucking sick of this because its pushing a fucking left right paradigm among fans of twitch plays pokemon. I am so sick of seeing complaints about how them using democracy to get through the safari zone to actually get surf. theres a limited amount of money in this game. they literally had to do it before they got stuck and pretty much would have to end the game.

some people constantly defend anarchy because they say they can beat the game with it. can't do it when you are fucking stuck and have no more money to get another chance. they had to use democracy. don't like it? go play pokemon with your friends all wrestling for the d-pad and do it yourself.

I am so sick of all these "oh no! those democracy heathens used democracy to get through the safari zone! how dare they? that makes the helix fossil mad. we must restore anarchy" just shut the fuck up.

fuck.

Granted, those two pokemon were pretty damn important and there was a huge argument about eevee vs lapras (and specifically avoiding flareon, which they made)

Except for the fact that there is no way to get stuck in the game after having cleared rock tunnel.

finite amount of money.

Yes and No. There's no way of getting more money, but the reason that it's seen as a game stopper is that you can theoretically put yourself in a position where you don't have a pokemon with a HM move that allows you to progress and because you have wasted all of your money you have now way of buying pokeballs to catch such a pokemon.

What you are forgetting is that there is never a way of screwing yourself out of useful pokemon (or, for that matter, money, but we'll get to that later) once you have passed Rock Tunnel (which, if we are talking about people complaining about Democracy in the Safari Zone, has already been completed). It's possible to farm coins in the Game Corner by walking around and continually pressing A, and those coins can eventually be traded for pokemon at the Prize Corner. And it's no mistake that all of the game-critical HMs can be taught to at least one of the pokemon you buy there. If you need money instead, you can buy TMs from the third slot and then sell them at a pokemart for $$$.

So no, money-screw is not a game-stopper in Pokemon RBY.

There are actually a few places where you can make the cam impossible to complete, but none of those situations can be remedied by Democracy anyway.

the problem with that is, you're putting trust in anarchy to operate the machines in the casino and use those winnings to get the HMs. and it costs money to get tokens to play the machines. while there is a way to get money from the machines, it all requires everyone to work together and not a single person to screw up the whole plan.

also, one is never truly stuck in rock tunnel. when I was a kid, I memorized rock tunnel soley because I thought flash was a bullshit thing and I had no idea what HM slaves were. I figured that even if they didn't use flash they would remember where all the ladders were and would eventually get through the rock tunnel.
 
Some of you guys sure are serious about this Pokemon Twitch thingy, aren'tcha.

No, you don't use the machines at all. You just walk around the place and press A while you're doing it, and you periodically find hidden coins.

Not especially, I actually find it quite boring. I just don't like people going around saying that Safari Zone is some sort of special case when it really isn't. If you're going to do something crazy, do it. Don't just do the crazy bit when it's not crazy to do it.

First elite 4 run was the best with that Venomoth at the end.

Anyway, game is broke now. GGs, twitch.
 
I personally hoped that when it'll end, it'll end. I'm neutral towards the idea of TPP myself, but am not overly content with the fact that the insane traffic it generates overloads Twitch servers and causes issues on unrelated channels.

I agree with Muro. TPP was interesting to see, but I seriously wish it could be done without making the twitch servers go haywire for everybody else. it's the main reason I haven't been watching Lab Zero's streams recently because I just don't want to deal with it if it does.
