It’s been a year since Twitch was rocked by a brief phenomenon: TwitchPlaysPokemon. This unique gaming stream put control of the game in the viewers hands by allowing inputs in the chat window to move the player around. There were many ups (Bird Jesus, The Elite Four) plenty of downs (Giovanni’s Wild Ride) and even a fan fictional religion.
To mark the one year anniversary, the stream is back up, this time without all of the distracting extras. The goal: to catch all 151 Pokemon.
There is no way I’ll ever be as engaged in this stream as I was when it first occurred a year ago. But I think I’ll pop in every now and then to see how things are going.
All praise the Helix Fossil!
