Twitch Plays Pokemon defeats the Elite Four and thousands of people become Pokemasters together

“RED defeated BLUE!” It seemed impossible, but somehow thousands of people managed to work together (sort of) and complete Pokemon Red through popular gaming live-streaming site, Twitch.

Seriously...? It actually happened? Wow.

Applejack3709d ago

I couldn't believe it either but after seeing this you have to wonder, what other type of games can gamers work together to beat?

Snookies123709d ago

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I'm curious as well... As a side note, I love that name in the picture lol. "AA-j"

TopDudeMan3708d ago

Yeah, I mean with the lag you get on it it'd be like playing pokemon by pressing random buttons.

BiggCMan3708d ago

Yea I can't believe this ever caught on. To me it was always pathetic that people would slave away at this thing and try to make it progress.

If it's a few people then sure, but THOUSANDS of people all making the game go crazy and stay in the same spot for hours/days is just pathetic to me and not fun at all.

A friend of mine kept trying to get me into it, and I just told him how sad he was. Sorry if I offend anyone, but please live your life.

There's a difference in watching people play games normally, to watching a game do nothing for hours on end.

thehitman3708d ago

I agree this is kinda stupid, but also its a great human experiment project lol. To get thousands of random people to focus on one goal is quite a feat. Whether we agree with participating in the process or not is another thing.

vallencer3708d ago

They are living their lives though. By watching that stream and being a part of it. Just because they aren't living life by your standard doesn't mean they aren't living. What isn't fun to you is fun to THOUSANDS of other people. You're a gamer, or at least you should be if you're on this site, so you should understand that not everyone thinks the same things are fun. No one is sad just because they liked doing something you didn't like.

Also a lot of those "people" watching were bots playing the game off of coding.

What I don't get it is you say it's ok to watch people stream games on twitch normally but they can't do so while being a part of the game? That makes no sense at all. At least with the second option they are doing more then just sitting their watching someone play.

And no I am not offended by your comment because i think the stream was great and think it was a really cool idea and glad they are going to keep doing it. It was just hard for me not to have a rebuttal.

webeblazing3708d ago

ignorance at its finest. its not my cup of tea but i would never say that about something other people enjoy. people enjoy different things in this world. most of what you said could be applied to early gamers. how thousands of people playing games and staying in the same spot for hours is pathetic. where would we be if everyone look down different activities that others enjoy.

Summons753708d ago (Edited 3708d ago )

It only happened because the creator decided to add in Anarchy/Democracy voting to 'weed out trolls' but whenever the slightest challenge they would spam Democracy to get by it. That sorta ruined it, it was funny to watch all hell break loose and the character fumble around only to progress like five feet.

If the experiment that this was for was to see how well people can come together under the original conditions to resolve the problem at hand then I'm guessing humanity failed because they had to add in the help option. Still amusing to the end though, can't wait to see if they continued the series.

Gasian3708d ago

Ya and it won't end either. Pokemon Crystal is now being played.

And it only took something like 15 days! Was expecting it to takes months, praise Helix.

jonboi243708d ago

We couldn't have won without our Lord Helix. His words of wisdom brought democracy through all the anarchy, when we needed it most. Praise Helix.

DC7773708d ago

What a strange phenomenon.

JohnKenway3708d ago

Praise the Helix Fossil we did it!

thehitman3708d ago

I agree w/ the article there needs to be a WELL made pokemon mmo. I havent played pokemon since about 15 years when blue and pokemon gold were out. I would play a pokemon MMO that you could train and battle people everywhere around the world. With all the rehashes Nintendo does year in and year out and spin offs of games this is 1 project Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves for not taking on.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
