Twitch Still Playing Pokémon, Adds Pokémon Stadium Gambling Component
Twitch Plays Pokémon, the live streamed community controlled Pokémon game, is still going strong having made its way to Platinum, and it has added a new wrinkle.
Along with the typical Twitch Plays Pokémon gameplay we've come to appreciate (the community is about 20 hours into Pokémon Platinum) viewers can now bet on Pokémon Stadium 2 matches. Viewers start with ¥1000 to bet on matches, which is done by entering certain commands into the chat. From there you earn and lose money based on the outcome of the fight.
You can check out the stream by heading here. For more on Twitch Plays Pokémon, you can read about the fictional religion that spawned from the stream here, read about the impressive viewership the stream generated here, and read our interview with the creator of the stream here.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
