Hey Nintendo vans and welcome to weekly Nintendo news at least that’s what I would be saying if I actually did follow regular Nintendo news this week but like many of you my entire week was consumed by the all-powerful twitchplayspokemon and seeing as we finally completed twitchplayspokemon read I figured why Not take some time to reminisce on my top 10 favorite moments from the original stream for those of you who are still wondering what the heck twitchplayspokemon is this thing is by far one of the most interesting media phenomenon I’ve witnessed in a long time the concept is deceptively simple run a Twitch.tv stream of the original Pokemon read but turn the chat into a controller by inputting left right BA and start into the chant a program would read the commands and put them into the game it started out as a simple concept but when tens of thousands began showing up as a Story of the experiment spread things got a little interesting twitchplayspokemon is arguably one of the worst games of Pokemon ever played several hours of the non-stop stream are just red running in circles there’s up to a 30-second delay between giving an input and the program entering command Into the game navigating the menu is a nightmare I’ve been leading the several helpful items being tossed early catching pokémon is a nightmare teaching moves is often a disaster and don’t even get me started on the PC the overall gameplay of twitch plays Pokemon was so bad that the reddit community Banded together and began giving plot and story reasons for several the nonsensical things that happened in the stream and it was this community that really got me hooked on the experience suddenly some of the game’s most boring aspects so just cutting down a single tree became an hour-long endeavor that Was somehow exciting I know what some of you are thinking how on earth did up to 100,000 players cooperate in some of the game’s hardest tasks such as getting through the safari zone or victory road and honestly we kind of had a cheat to do it the Creator eventually installed a Secondary mode of the game called democracy where players voted on single actions one at a time players and vote between the original mode now called anarchy and democracy to progress and while I believe democracy to be an extremely boring mode that should have been only used very very cautiously for very difficult Puzzles we crunched on it a few more times than I would have liked but while democracy was an unfortunate addition to the game’s original chaotic mode we were in the original Anarchy mode long enough for some really crazy things to happen oh good and bad that I will never forget Here’s my personal top 10 moments from the original twitchplayspokemon stream number 10 the route 9 ledge route 9 is an example of something that the player with half a brain would have no issue with however give thousands of people the power to control one character and The result is a disaster the killer of round 9 is this ledge right here if you hit down once will end this straight it’s back to the bottom with you and with thousands of players somebody is gonna hit down almost every time and then when you finally get Around the maze guess what you have to go down but combine that with a few other missteps and you’ll find yourself going down one of these two falls downward paths leaving you stuck to redo the entire process we got stuck in ledge hell for over eight hours who would have Thought that simply walking would be such a spectator sport these first of the ledges were a major hurdle number 9 the burglar cinnabar spoken on mansion was not one of our high points with so many Pokemon that no poisoning moves and no reliable way for Anarchy to Cure it we died all the time but arguably the worst moment is when we discovered this deadly glitch battling this burglar at the right moment can leave you locked with no escape no poking them with dig and no competent way to use escape rope we were forced to Grind on random encounters until our entire party fainted setting us all the way back once more it was painful and unusual but morbidly hilarious though one does have to wonder where did this guy’s partner go number 8 the capture of Zapdos this one is the only event that I missed while sleeping But it’s such a huge event in the game that I can’t help but be impressed the fact that we were able to one hold on to the master ball without tossing it to battle Zapdos in Anarchy mode without fleeing and losing it forever and three actually navigating to the menu and Throwing the thing is a miracle although when we finally get to what happened after we captured Zapdos miracle might not be the right word to use here number seven lieutenant surge to incredible things happen with our battles a surge one somehow getting through his brutal electric lock puzzle faster than many Single humans and to the incredible battle will surge himself only by using a probe I’d did our trusty Charmeleon a BK hold on to a sliver of life before downing search for good number 6 Giovani battle 1 in our first meeting with Giovanni the battle for the silla Scope was one of the most stressful of the entire series left of just our trusty bird jesus Pidgeot we battled to Giovanni’s team up to Kangaskhan you have to keep in mind normally bird Jesus only had two working attacks that could damage the enemy but We had a lucky break sand attack was out of PP as we battle the final Kangas gun the worst happened we began to use the useless whirlwind attack with just one attack left to drop Giovanni for good and just when you thought it was all Over our Savior held on with just one HP come on guys all we need is one more attack one damaging attack we’re faster we’ve got one last chance and with this moment 15,000 people left the stream and frustration but this wasn’t even the most memorable part of The experience for me number five the 360 no-scope what could be a bigger obstacle than defeating Giovanni our own pokemon it’s so simple with Giovanni gone all we had to do is grab the Silph scope and make your way to pokemon tower that’s it then as if straight out of Murphy’s Law the Worst thing possible happened we found a way to select dig rat and use the most loathed move the playthrough jig free escape rope and we’re out of there so depressing so ridiculous but ultimately so rememberable number 4 ATV defeats Dragonite once again I was unfortunately asleep as we completed the final Twitchplayspokemon run but I was at least there for our first run past Lance the conquer here was arguably our team’s weakest member the venomoth ATV the all-terrain vehicle and it’s also ranked dummy despite having just our level 36 ATV – Lance’s final level 62 Dragonite ATV was able to Exploit faulty generation 1 AI dragon I thought venomoth is weak to psychic and preceded this BAM it’s psychic type moves barrier and agility all venomoth needed to do was hit dragon 8 with the poison powder and the rest was history number three the flareon chronicles the flareon chronicle is one of the most Interesting arcs in the history of twitch plays pokemon with five members in her party and no Pokemon – no surf the community had decided we would save our final party slot for the free lampreys given to you later in the game all that was ruined when we got the Game’s a V instead but not all hope was lost we were close to Saladin’s Mart and had the water stone in sight the problem we got the absolute worst stone fired useless when considering we already had a Charmeleon then perhaps even more impressive we actually used the stone correctly and Flareon was born Immediately labeled the false prophet by the community Flareon became the use for everything that went wrong following his creation when the first great purge happened and a BK and our Rattata Jay Leno were released flareon was blamed as the conspirator then both drowsy and Flareon were deposited drowsy was renamed to the Keeper labeled for his deed of holding the evil Flareon away from us in the PC in an act only perfect for the communities lore flareon was released and drowsy returned and while many today debate whether or not Flareon was truly the root of all our problems the fact Stands this arc led to some of the greatest fan art for the community to date the only way we could have made sense of all this madness was with a fictional backstory and it was incredible number 2 Bloody Sunday if you thought Flareon caused his trouble it was nothing compared to the Terror of getting Zapdos into the party in an attempt to get the Magnificent Zapdos into our team pure chaos ensued we lost Pokemon after Pokemon in an attempt to operate the PC including losing dig rat radicand cabbage the oddish and ducks the far-fetched three staple characters in our run up to this Point by the end of February 23rd nearly a dozen Pokemon were released including almost our entire safari zone findings it was a massacre of massive proportions leading many to question is that dose truly a force of good when it caused more bloodshed than Flareon in a crazy Turn of events that almost sawed bird Jesus and he does that–does himself released as well it was one day I could not turn my head away from the screen number one the revival of helix early in the playthrough we realized that while seemingly important items like the Moonstone and nugget could be tossed at a moment’s notice the helix fossile as an untouchable key item could never leave our grasp it quickly became Lord that the helix fossile was our religion and anything against our path was known as the way of the dome the helix fossile Was deposited and recovered from the PC several times but few believed we’d actually be able to make it to sin of our island and revive the thing in a beacon of light after the darkness that was Bloody Sunday being able to revive our in-game God and fight alongside him was a touching moment While we got on the night a little too late in her journey to level him as high as some of her strongest Pokemon he still had several great moments in combat well we’ve just begun an all-new journey and Jojo on the same stream these two weeks of the original Twitchplayspokemon are some of the most memorable video gaming moments I’ve experienced in my life hopefully our new
