The lights are on
The Twitch Plays Pokémon proved to be quite successful when it completed a 16-day run this past March, which is why no one should be surprised the cooperative effort has moved on to other games in the series. Today, the group is using a modded 3DS to tackle the Kalos region of X/Y.
Head over to Twitch to join in on the action. To learn more about this phenomenon, in which the actions taken in the game are crowdsourced via the Twitch chat check out Kyle's exploration of its mythos and his interview with the creator.

...this is seriously still going on? It was amusing for the first generation (albeit annoying with servers crapping out because of it), I'm legitimately surprised people are still going for this.
Everytime that I've looked at Twitch playing Pokemon it's just people fighting in the bag and running back and forth.
So...did we just run out of Pokemon games for Twitch to play? They can't really advance the project until the gen 3 remakes come out can they?
I feel like partaking in something like this would just be a painstaking process.
Also whenever I go on twitch to watch something I find twitch commenters to be freaking annoying, they like to fill chat boxes with so much random useless crap that its not even funny. Furthermore, it gets worse and worse with the more people in the room.
Beldum is love, Beldum is life.
Well you can kill your free time with madness.
If the creators decided to put breaks at least one month long in between each game of Twitch Plays Pokemon, people wouldn't have lost interest in the series the way they did. The idea was great and the fanbase was there, but by deciding to launch Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, FireRed, etc. just a few days after their predecessor was finished, they beat the concept to death. They didn't give it a much needed cool-off period, and now only a small fraction of the initial fanbase still cares.
The novelty is dead.
I still don't understand the appeal. It's like having thousands of people mash the keys on a piano all at once, then calling it a musical masterpiece.
Pokemon's power remains strong!!!!!
This twitch thing was still happening? Why?
Off too twitch
