Twitch Claims Victory in Pokémon Crystal

Needs a game switch now, this went way faster then the first and is a lot less interesting as things are established now.

Plus the chat is full of really off putting people.

Again they finish the game while I'm sleeping; I swear I must be cursed to miss out on seeing most of the good parts live. Oh well, I'll be watching TPP Emerald; Crystal started out a bit weak because of the trolls and the greater linearity of Johto, but it proved to have its own unique challenges. A week-long break at this point makes sense to me.

I'm most impressed that they finished this so quick.

I guess all the jerks from the first one got tired of screwing with them. That was way fast.

Wake me up when they are playing XY.

@CanisWolfred Would've finished sooner if not for the warping.

@DonnaxNL Impossible. A 3DS emulator would be needed.

Well...there's no need for democracy in R/S/E, so maybe the creator will only use Anarchy...?
Maybe...?
I guess there's Wallace's gym...

Just imagine how long will it take for them to clear the eighth gym in Pokémon emerald.....

@Melkac I know, but maybe a work-around (like this one: http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplaysrealpokemon)

Even Black&White seems more interresting to me (Only played Diamond half and X fully)

@DonnaxNL That'll never happen.

I hope they never make it further than Hoenn.

So how does the whole Red Trainer work? Does it use your file from red when you get to him in Gold/silver/crystal?

@Pit-Stain Honestly, the sheer number of comments like this in the past for different sections that they then precede to blitz through means I have little doubt that any game that is put forward will be conquered. Wallace's gym is no more difficult than Jhotos Ice Cave, another section people were saying would never get completed in the run up to it.

@HawkeyeWii
Nope, Red's team is always the same for every player.
The only explanation is that this game was played using a hacked Crystal ROM.

democracy/anarchy ruined it

@HawkeyeWii What the previous reply said. They were playing a romhack. This also explains how they got a steelix by evolving an onix at level 35, no trading required.

I started painting a fan art early on in the Red playthrough. I never expected them to finish that game, let alone start and finish another! And my painting isn't even done yet!

This is a great way of getting people interested in Pokemon games. If Nintendo were clever they'd release Red and Blue on Virtual Console ASAP.

But this is nintendo. So we'll probably get Ice Hockey or something :/

@PrincessEevee9 @Melkac @DonnaxNL I'll just leave this here: http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplays3ds

There's NO WAY they can POSSIBLY beat Pokemon emerald! The sky Pillar will conquer them, utterly...

@PrincessEevee9
Why is that? These twitch plays can only be good for the series, if anything people will watch them and get the urge to play the games themselves. Its even better for younger fans who missed out on them.

Too bad I missed it. It was a nice touch replacing the default 'mon with the final team of the first TPP

I haven't been keeping up, but the fact that they got to Red at all and beat him on the first try baffles me, even when there are less trolls.

I'm playing Pokémon Blue again thanks to TPP. It made me really excited about it and here I am now facing E4!

@C-Olimar We'd be lucky to get a game as good as Ice Hockey on the VC. >___> I'm feeling Baseball myself.

HOENN <3

@BenAV that's why the Red playthrough sucked badly because stupid little trolls made it ridiculously slow struggle. Getting through the hard parts quickly made it fun and rewarding. You got your idea all backwards...

@C-Olimar
Funny thing is, Ice Hockey was already out by the time you posted that

@DonnaxNL so like, next week?

This really is amazing.

I was watching the stream when they were facing Red! The hype was unreal!

Also, I heard they're trying to beat the E4 again to get Red to re spawn so that they can face him again for the heck of it.

I'm glad that the streamer is waiting to start Gen III. I warmed up to Gen II after more lore was established but I was burned out on the original so I was just bored at the start, only checking every couple of days.

How about TwitchPlaysBattletoads on the NES without any cheats or emulation. That game is the ultimate test of skills, if you ask me. I've still yet to beat it and I got the game within a month of its original release in the U.S.

I don't get the people who try to "troll" this series. That's like sticking your foot out to trip a guy who's dragging himself across the floor! It's strangely unambitious as internet hijinks go.

@Nibelilt "Also, I heard they're trying to beat the E4 again to get Red to re spawn so that they can face him again for the heck of it. "

Well not anymore then. They are no longer playing Gen II.

@WiiChuck103
Actually, it took them about 6 tries to beat Red.

Wait gen 3! Oh no not the water routes. All of the rocks and corners. I got lost in there playing by myself.

@Zombie_Barioth Watching a bunch of morons try and beat a game that's meant to be easy for it's targeted audience is a good thing? I'm thinking no.

@Melkac I heard the creator might have a system where at the beginning of every hour democracy takes over, but if there's a big enough amount of votes for anarchy, it'll switch to and remain in anarchy for the rest of that hour.

@PrincessEevee9
Not to be snarky but you do know your don't have to watch it, right? I don't like MTV but Its not like I hope it goes off the air.

Besides, having a laugh at the stupidity of it all is part of the fun, especially if your also laughing at yourself.

@C-Olimar Am I the only one that hates he idea of Virtual Console Pokemon games? Nintendo would be too lazy to add a game link feature and without trading the games would be impossible to complete. That would be awful. The only way I'd even be remotely interested is if full trading and battling was still possible between linked games. Otherwise, forget it.
