They've optimized the team and rely entirely on democracy to do anything dangerous. The hivemind right now is set to beat this game with virtually everything going according to plan, and anything that does go wrong is usually fixed with democracy almost immediately.

Tpp is in this unfortunate situation where it gained popularity due to being an enormous trainwreck, then attracted people who play 6+ hours a day and have invested so much time in the stream that they are terrified of anything bad happening. Fire Red is a bit disappointing.

Part of the problem is that the streamer has had democracy off by default and then turned it on every hour when there's an obstacle that can't be done in anarchy, and then just left it on for the rest of the game. I'm sure people are more willing to vote for it when it's "only" available once an hour since there's the "can't wait another hour" mentality instead of the "let's see if we can do without" mentality when it's always available.

Things would probably be much more entertaining if he'd turned it back off after the Rocket base, and then back on for VR, etc.

Mew is in UU tier in Gen 6.

Turns out being the jack of all trades of pokemon isn't that great. Also while has what amount to alright stats and has coverage everyone can only dream of, turns out his ability blows for his used and he's so easily walled its laughable.

Yup. It'll have a 90% chance of learning any psychic TM and 50% chance if its another element, same as every other pokemon.

That coupled with its overall lackluster stats means Mew probably won't be a breakout star.

Though on the plus side, HM compatibility wasn't randomized so he's a perfect HM slave if we need it.

Looks like HM compatibility was randomized! Mew cannot learn Strength.

It's the second evolution in the Ralts -> Kirlia -> Gardevoir evolution tree, either there's one stuck in the PC that chat wants to use or it's a reference to when we had one in the early game but got rid of it.

This Golem appears to only know Wish and chat can't seem to manage switching out Sandslash. This could take a while.

Edit: Just used Rock Blast only after Sandslash went from 10 to 3 HP. That's some quality AI.

They got to the Moltres legendary encounter and it turned out to be Latios with Perish Song. Luckily they were able to kill it with Blastoise before the last count and got experience

They had brought Ultra Balls but wasted them all on the way to not-Moltres, of course. Also, that Latios didn't seem to have any attacks besides Perish Song, which was pretty funny.

IIRC Moltres got moved to one of the Sevii islands in the FR/LG remake, and you're forced to go there in order to enter the Cinnibar gym.

It honestly doesn't even matter what the ability is. I mean, we'd all have liked it to get Huge Power or Speed Boost, but the important thing is that Truant is gone.

And getting Minus of all things is pretty funny.

Something completely useless is still better than an impediment. Slaking without Truant could piledrive most Legendaries without breaking a sweat.

I just played through this part on my copy of LeafGreen, and Bill forces you to come with him to the first 3 islands the moment you exit the Cinnabar Gym. Mt. Ember (where Moltres is) is completely optional, though.

Funny you should say that, slaking was just taken down by Green's aggron. It didn't even have a fighting move.

Now that we have all eight gym badges, I'll start with a quick recap:

Brock: Bug
Misty: Poison
Lt. Surge: Ground
Erika: Ice
Sabrina: Normal
Koga: Flying
Blaine: Rock
Giovanni: Fighting

Therefore, the Elite Four is likely to use teams based on four out the following: Ghost, Steel, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Dragon, and Dark.

Any thoughts?

You're required to use it once in the tutorial at the beginning of the game. Otherwise it's pretty much completely optional.

I guarantee Twitch will somehow get stuck in a touch-only menu at some point if there's no way to interact.
