Looking ahead to Gen 2:
Pokemon that are given to you: Togepi, Eevee, Tyrogue, Spearow, Shuckle. The fight over what to do with Eevee is going to be glorious; unfortunately evolution stones are insanely hard to get in Gen 2 and they probably won't get any until the Elite Four is beaten. Oh well

Espeon or Umbreon would be pretty useful!

I'm placing bets on the Rainbow and Silver Wings being the next 'holy' items. Useless items we'll have in our inventory that summon the legendary pokemon? Sounds like a potential Helix Fossil.

The final battle with Blue plus the ending is up on YouTube. I missed it too, but I watched the capture of the final fight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG2Dc2bp4oU

I was pretty close on the finisher guess. I was off by one on the dudes left alive. 84 was WAY off on the blackouts, though. It all seemed so hopeless at the time.

Sleep now, Red. The voices have left you. :unsmith:

The best thing about the ending was that the chat selected a new game.

It then froze. It was perfect.

No, they had picked continue and then the streamer stopped the game.

I can't believe it. It turns out that if you give over 50,000 howler monkeys a single gameboy, that with just a little intervention they can beat pokemon red.

BONUS QUESTION

I will buy a FORUMS GIFT CERT (value: 10$) to the person who gets this 100% right (tiebreakers based on submission time, eariler the better)

1) Which of Red's pokemon is the one who lands the finishing blow on Blue's champion reign?
2) What move do they use to do it?
3) How many pokemon does Red have alive when it happens?

All three need to be right to win.

HERE IS A GOOGLE FORM TO SUBMIT IT Answers posted here don't count. Whatever pokemon/move is the last one used before Blue is beaten (and we lose control) and we enter the Hall of Fame is the one used to judge, in case of poison/recoil damage or whatever.

EDIT: first submission per username is the one that counts!

After careful video review, the correct answer was: Zapdos, with Thundershock, with three pokemon left (Zapdos, Nidoking, and Venomoth).

Here is the list of submissions with the winner being Yachi, so let me know what you want

HackensackBackpack: Aug 20, 2007; Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?

I wonder if the stream's popularity will drop down significantly now. Gen 2 are fan favourites, but it's going to be tough to start over now that the excitement of the Elite Four has died down, and a lot of people only ever played Red or Blue. I'll still watch it, heck I may even register and start inputting commands, but I feel like for many people the experiment is over.

Still, I look forward to new fanart. That's been my favourite part of this.

Think I'll go for a $5 gift card for avatar buying purposes (since buying your own is 5 but for someone else is 10, if I remember right.) Is that 4-sprite pic of Abby, Digrat, and a few others still open?

The popularity will drop a bit, but even if it dropped by 90% there'd still be a few thousand people.

It'll evolve into Espeon or Umbreon by itself eventually, though.

True enough. My only regret, if you can call it that, is not finding this stream until a week in. I'm excited for Gold or Silver. I hope a few nods to this game get edited in.

Sandata: Mar 19, 2010

I been sick this week so when my Cell Phone alarm woke me up I wanted to throw the sucker out the window. Around 4:04 AM EST time I log onto my net book. A few minutes later I view the twitch page since my friend said they were done. I knew they were not because he shown me a picture of Lance being beaten. Thus I physically check the twitch stream and see Blastdois on the screen. I leave it on and got to eventually saw Zapdos finish the entire game.

That was likely the longest I ever watched the stream and I'm glad it happened. Rest well Red. You were only data but your creators both for the game it's self and the Twitch programing gave birth to all this.
