Watch live video from TwitchPlaysPokemon on www.twitch.tv







The channel, Twitch Plays Pokémon, parses the flurry of Twitch chat comments being typed by thousands of viewers. While chat users can type whatever they want into the channel's chat, the software that powers Twitch Plays Pokémon only parses a handful of commands: up, down, left, right, select, start, a and b, the inputs of the original Game Boy.

Twitch Plays Pokémon was launched less than two days ago but has already amassed an impressive viewership. More than 175,000 people have watched and played Pokémon Red/Blue through the Twitch channel. And slowly but surely, and with thousands of luckily timed and errant commands, players are making progress. Earlier today, the game's thousands of players managed to defeat the Pokémon trainer Misty.

I'm amazed they actually made it through Mt.Moon and managed to beat misty.

If I had known about this beforehand I never would have even expected them to beat brock.
 
There were way less people earlier which had to make it easier to coordinate.

It will be interesting to see how far it goes.
 
Theres no way they made it to Vermillion City NO WAY. 

They have been trying to cut this tree for the entire time I have been in this thread

Would be amazing if they properly execute the Mew glitch in Cerulean 

Edit: Looks like they're already past that I think
