I tried it. The problem was that there were just too many inputs and such long waits that battles were a hit or two at best. I think someone suggested Divekick might be a good idea?

Dive kick would probably be perfect. The matches would almost be completely random, but the inputs are simple enough to ensure someone is gonna get hit.

So I'm guessing we're still stuck in Team Rocket's maze and we still don't have the lift key. Any more casualties in the past 6 hours? Did we manage to deposit Dig?

Well, I'm going to sleep now. I fully expect this thread to have gone up another 30+ pages and the stream to have not progressed at all by the time I come back.

You'll come back to the stream having released everyone but the oddish.

Nope. I think the only way to get stuck like that would be to release all Surf-capable Pokemon while on Cinnabar Island, but there might even be some in the mansion.

See the thing is that Pokemon works out absolutely perfectly for a Twitch Plays thing. It's not based on reflex, doesn't need to handle multiple inputs, buttons being held etc. Most other games simply wouldn't work as well as it just so happens Pokemon does.

Yeah, reading the FAQ, the guy who set this up choose which game to play very carefully.

The GBC Dragon Quests would also work. Actually pretty much any GB or NES RPG would work, with the lack of buttons and no need for reflexes which is really all that's needed to see progress from one of these things.

... I kinda want to see somebody do this with Earthbound now.

If anything the people pressing A are the real enemies here. Start at least lets us catch our breath and smooth out our stray arrow commands, but all A does is menu dive.

With a 25 second lag, slowing Red's movements to allow people to catch up actually makes him easier to control.

EarthBound wouldn't work because it's possible to get stuck. If you save the game and then say you don't want to continue, the game stops until you press the power button or the reset button.

The RNG pokemon game had to be restarted because it released a charizard and was left with a level 7 Magicarp. About 99% impossible to carry on.

pressing a is the way to go since that gives the most time to have input catch up to the video

optimally, every pause would also save the game for this reason

I wonder what would have happened if PIDGEOT got released too during the Great Eevee Civil War. I am pretty sure Eevee would have been sacrificed to the Fossil, releasing every pokeman we had in the process be damned.

What would happen is that Eevee is the only remaining pokemon in the party, staring up at you with an innocent smile.

I don't have access to the chat anymore for some reason, but with 60000 people isn't it safe to assume the lag is too large for start/a to be very effective at this point?

Looking at our party stats, I predict Oddish is going to be a real dark horse in the coming battles. His ability to spam status effects mixed with one damaging ability really fits our...ahem...fighting style. Expect him to start hitting above his weight class if we ever get out of this labyrinth.

Does Super Mario RPG kick you back to the title screen if your party wipes? I could see that being a good one if it doesn't.

Rinkles posted:

I remember one hearing that any Pokemon you release has a super-rare chance of appearing as a wild Pokemon, allowing you to catch it again. Is that true or just some schoolyard myth?

Splitting the stream into two, save editing the new player's name to BLUE and having them take eachother on would both be really enjoyable to follow and possibly mitigate the lag(assuming Twitch works that way). But what do I know.

It has actual platforming elements in it and very fine movement. I can't imagine it getting past the first obstacle that requires you to jump on a platform.

Platforming elements and timed combat... probably not the best.

If I had no experience with Pokemon before and a certain stream piqued my interest in actually playing this game (I mean, it seems pretty simple), where would I start?

They would also probably have to get rid of the three minute wait at the waterfall, too. There's no way the chat would ever wait patiently for three minutes.

But yeah, it'd be trivial to get rid of the continue prompts on save points and when your party wipes, as well as the three minute wait by using PK Hack. You don't even need any prior ROM hacking experience.
