Man reading that google doc to catch up... Helix Fossil is in the PC? I'm glad our true God is safe... but how will we win any gym matches without being able to consult him? These could be dark days ahead.

Helix fossil can't be tossed.

Lapras will have time to level up at Pokemon Tower with little risk. Also, we have infinite grinding time, its just a matter of steering us towards a patch of safe grass. And Surf is very powerful and impossible to overwrite.

Vaporean would have been the best outcome, but there was a lot of risk involved and as such it backfired tremendously. Now we still need to free a slot for a surfer and lost our potentially powerful Abby.

Hitmonlee is great, but also fills a slot and can't touch ghosts either (or surf, iirc).
I'd agree if chat would grind it up, but I don't think they'll be bothered. Surf and Strength alone would make it the best.

Fool, do you think the worst thing that could happen to it is being tossed?

He could be reborn onto this plain of existence! Not only would this make him vulnerable for the first time in millenia, but the amount of wrath he has from being trapped could be limitless!
 
That gif... lol

Well done. I don't understand why people wanted Evee to begin with. Now they better stick with it.

Because Eevee is awesome. Getting Eevee was an excellent choice... getting Flareon kind of blows... but it's still a decent addition to the team.

The problem was the fucking chat using the PC this early. We didn't need the PC yet. We still had days of challenges to overcome (Pokemon Tower, Sabrina, Koga, Safari, etc) before we even needed to use Surf. We could have waited to "make room" for Lapras, and just gone with the team of PidgeGod, Abby, Jayleno, Eevee, Drowzee, and Dux.

Today is the first I've seen this.. I've been watching for like a whole 2 hours. This is what I do with my days off apparently. It's beyond frustrating.

IF they get to Cinnibar you know they are gonna revive him, right?

It's okay times better just to check this and the stream periodically versus actually watching it non-stop (or like me, have it running in the background with the sound turn low so you can hear when fights start)

Link to the google doc?

Missed this when writing my reply, it's linked higher up in this post (the "this" link)

Yeah on some level it was stupid to make room when there is still so much to do before surf was even needed. With this madness, you really don't know what's going to happen in the meantime. It's not surprising an oddish wound up in there somehow.

You would have had us risk the release our team after days of training instead of cutting losses and dealing with the mistake asap?


Hello darkness my old friend.
I'm debating whether I should have even made that now, thought it would give good perspective for the people who (at the time) were moaning about how hard the first ledge and tree were.

All it has done is dishearten everyone.. HA

Exactly.

And even when making room, we just had to deposit someone. It didn't really matter who. Since we had two Cut users, Pidge-Jeigan and a bunch of under leveled mons. Any one could be afforded to be boxed. It was only because we dumpster dived to retrieve Pidgeot, who is useless in Pokemon Tower and super effective against nothing, did we release ABBY and Jay.

And don't blame Eevee for taking up the spot when we went and caught a fucking Oddish.

...Why did we catch an Oddish anyways? Some bout of madness brought on by the grief?
 
So has anyone gotten this working with other games (non-Pokemon)? I would love to see a Super Mario Land or Metroid stream like this.

This will never work with games like SML/metroid/any action game ever even if Twitch didn't have a 20 second lag.

Games like SML for example require you to constantly hold down buttons and get many pixel perfect jumps in a row... The method used is getting the input for a single frame for each spoken command.
