Have many of you been following TwitchPlaysPokemon? It's a livestream of Pokemon Red, where the game is controlled by viewers typing commands into the chat. It's become hugely popular in the last week, peaking above 100,000 concurrent viewers.

 

I really liked the idea so I developed my own spin-off of this stream, called "PokemonRaces" (TwitchRacesPokemon was taken, unfortunately). Basically, my idea was to have both Gold and Silver running in a single stream, and letting viewers choose what team they want to be on, ie. Team Gold or Team Silver, and then controlling that game via the chat. I've only just launched it and I'm hoping that it catches on, so please check it out and have a play with it. Link below.

DChiuch; in the flesh!...erm, comment...

 

I digress- this is a momentous occasion

I think you should post this on the Pokemon subreddit, they are obsessed with Twitchplay and some were already wondering if a new game will be made for future generations.

Is it okay if I spread the link around a bit?

Yeah, you should do put it on subreddit and who knows maybe I will be reading your attempt on my appy gamer news.

I just did that great minds think alike

Hopefully they won't think it's spam

 

My problem at the moment is getting enough people to play at once such that the game moves fast enough for it to be fun

Please do!

Also guys, please tell me about any bugs or errors so that I can fix them ASAP.

All it depends is the timing you post it, honestly right now its 12:37 AM EST here so it truly depends.

It is off to a good start.

 

 

Also if you guys are joining post your account name so we know who you are, I made up a fake account called Ponpiqi. Don't ask.

AWESOME!

DC, any way to remove the move lag or lessen it at all?

Unfortunately not, there's simply a lag between when you stream the game, and when it appears on Twitch. Nothing we can do about that. Sometimes if you refresh the page, the lag can be a bit less but it's like changing from 25 seconds to 15 seconds.

May I make a suggestion?

 

 

There is a Reddit going on.

 

 

But is there a way have a sub-forum HERE?

 

 

I mean, to plan, or create it in such a way...

 

that just...I don't know.

 

 

 

Or maybe a change to the stream to make it fancier?

I think doing something here would be unsuitable, as not everyone here likes Pokemon.

 

What kind of changes are you suggesting?

I love how the chat has attempted to adapt username color based on which game you're playing  

Have Lugia or Ho-oh on their side of the screen beside their respective teams, perhaps?

Just a suggestion DC like what they did with TwitchPlaysPokemon, maybe add a timer when the event started at the bottom to see how long it's gonna take? 

 

Overall, I'm enjoying this

It got boring fast. Sorry but I'm not tolerating pointless switching while being told do this do that. I though the point was to progress with help, not have 2 people do the work.

I've asked them to stop doing that, so hopefully it doesn't happen anymore. If they continue, just let me know and I'll do something about it.

So what happened?
