Remember the social media experiment Twitch Plays Pokémon? Last year it was followed up by Twitter playing Pokémon Red inside someone's avatar on Twitter.
Now, the same mastermind behind the Twitter experiment is back, this time with a Discord bot that allows Pokémon fans from around the world to play the Generation III game, Pokémon Emerald, together.
Yep, the same programmer Constantin Liétard (@screenshakes) is back, with a brand-new creation. As of the latest update, the Discord chat has made it up to Mauville City. Inputs this time around are simple button presses.
The current party line-up is comprised of Shroomish, Marshtomp, Sableye, Ralts, Taillow and a Whismur:
We promise you, we won't be covering the whole thing this time around, but if there are any significant milestones such as a Gym victory or Discord successfully manages to beat the entire game, we probably will give you an update.
To participate, you can join the Discord channel promoted in the tweet above. Will you be keeping tabs on this? Would you one day like to see the return of the GBA title Pokémon Emerald? Leave a comment down below.

whats next. i can't think of any witty remark of a social platform playing a game that would top this.
If Emerald is playable on Discord, I still have hope it'll one day be playable on Switch!
We should have a "NintendoLife Plays", lol
what next Tumblr plays pokemon?
@NinTasha LinkedIn plays Digimon
These just aren't exciting anymore. It's already been proved that this can work given enough time. There needs to be a twist to be interesting.
@Joeynator3000 If you do, I hope it's Pokemon Platinum.
@Heavyarms55 Have they done a "___ plays Pokemon" speedrun yet? I think coordinating that sort of thing could be interesting
Just based on my experience watching discord chats rehearse Dracula and Richter's infamous dialogue or singing JoJo songs, I can only imagine how much of a train wreck this will be lol
Language warning
@MH4 That would be an interesting twist then. As far as I know, they haven't.
Hopefully no butthole will delete the save file this time.
@edgedino Nintendolife Comment Section Plays Pokemon
For those who were for a single player with pvp recreation of Emerald in Discord it also exists: https://top.gg/bot/800207357622878229
