Has anyone been keeping track of this? I watched for a few minutes last night and got bored, but I find the fanbase reaction facinating & hilarious.

I watched a little bit and also got bored. It's amazingly getting more and more viewers.

I've pretty much had the stream on at all times since about 17 hours into it. /r/twitchplayspokemon is probably my favorite place on the internet right now.

If you view it by itself, it is a little boring, but look it at the whole and when you add the amazing fanart and how quickly its chugged out, its a fucking blast.

All hail Bird Jesus and praise helix!

I periodically check for updates at /r/twitchplayspokemon. There isn't much fun in watching the twitch stream unless you're actively voting, and even then it's a practice in frustration. Hopefully someone creates a summary youtube video that mixes some of the occurrences in the game with the great fan art & in-jokes. That said:

That gallery above is in my opinion the best thing to come out of the fandom so far. If you haven't been keeping up it won't be funny but if you have, I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it.

I haven't seen any of the Stream but I've read some of the Reddit and its gold.

I thought they'd eventually win the thing when the Mankeys actually used TM29 successfully... then they overwrote it for Headbutt.

This is amazing. Everything about the glory of the internet seems to be summed up in this experience.

I will be checking in on this from time to time from now on.

RIP DUX

Wow. That was disturbingly annoying.

Shaymin · « **Reply #12 on:** March 01, 2014, 11:09:39 AM »

They did it. The SOBs did it.

And Oak was *SERIOUSLY* pleased.

Stratos · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2014, 11:54:22 AM »

Watching the recap videos was a great way to catch up on what I missed. I'm surprised they got through the game as fast as they did.

nickmitch · « **Reply #14 on:** March 01, 2014, 11:57:44 AM »

Can you link the recap videos? I'd like to see the Elite 4 runs.

Oblivion · « **Reply #15 on:** March 01, 2014, 01:21:32 PM »

The TPP twitch account has the entire runthrough of the game. If you go to the latest video you can choose to skip to the last hour on the video, which is about where we started our last E4 run.

Here's the link to the final battle. That is the only one I have watched so far.

nickmitch · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2014, 08:05:40 PM »

Thanks to both.

Stratos · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2014, 09:03:57 PM »

Heh, my sister was watching the stream as well. So I can now randomly yell "Praise Helix!" and someone can respond with "And hail his prophet, Bird Jesus"

Pity they game is not continuing. Would be fun to try and catch Mewtwo and the other birds.

The Yellow twitch stream seems to be heating up now that the main game is over. Though there are over 30k still on the Red Stream.

I didn't watch any of it, yet I still couldn't escape from it-- even in real life.
What a crazy phenomenon.

Oblivion · « **Reply #20 on:** March 01, 2014, 10:53:56 PM »

The guy IS continuing it. In about eight hours he's starting up Gold version.

Dasmos · « **Reply #21 on:** March 01, 2014, 11:23:20 PM »

Pretty much sums it up perfectly. I want to believe that Gold will be as good, and not just a rehash with forced memes and the like.

Oblivion · « **Reply #22 on:** March 02, 2014, 02:55:04 AM »

My name is in there!

Shaymin · « **Reply #23 on:** March 02, 2014, 10:27:46 AM »

They've moved to Johto now, and the first route has the Mankey's one weakness... LEDGES.

Thank god they didn't pick Chikorita or this run would be over before it began.

Oblivion · « **Reply #24 on:** March 02, 2014, 10:57:00 AM »

What's wrong with Chikorita?
