Not sure as to how a thread for this hasn't been made yet, but to summarize (because you should all know about it by now), Twitch is playing Pokemon. That's right. Thousands and thousands of users are playing a pokemon game, just one, at the same time.

Sauce

How does it work

Initially, it was completely chaotic. Each person would input a command, and when the command came to turn the character would do said command (up, down, left, right, start, B, or A).

Currently, a democratic system has been initiated, due to difficulty during a maze portion of the game (the Team Rocket hideout in Celadon). The users spent about a day on that section alone.
What the democratic system does is, every 20 seconds the users vote. They can vote on one of the seven commands, as well has how many times a command is done (example: Start9 would click "start" 9 times).

The players can switch back between the two systems by voting either "anarchy" or "democracy" at any given time. They must pass the dotted line at the top in order for the switch to be made, however.

So, now that we are filled in, discuss the happenings.

Praise be to the Helix Fossil

Alas, brother not evil. Those who follow the dome follow a life of false security within the Dome's Walls of Democracy. They are deluded and must be purged from this world and put out of their misery.

Are you trying to say the Helix Fossil meme wasn't annoying before TPP?

That was fantastic. Groan-inducing, but fantastic. Beat the whole thing and even defeated Red using our previous team as his lineup.

I'm betting average will drop to 5-10k people at best

pang, it has already been between 5-10k people for like half of Crystal. Honestly this died out after the end of Red. No one cares anymore. It is all just the same thing.

They shouldn't have gone immediately to other games. It would have been better had they waited a few months to a year

It was more like 12-19K but yeah, it was still 1/7 of the original audience

I think what we're doing now is watching a Pokemon episode but the audience is pressing buttons to fast forward, pause, and rewind the show. . . .

2 more days!
