Flareon: The loss of 2 pokemon; A false prophet Zapados: The loss of 11 pokemon; an angel and saviour

the fact they used master ball on zapdos on anarchy is already the huge plot twist in the run.

Anarchy: the most destructive tactic to vanish enemies Democracy: the smartest tactic to pass mazes and ledges

Helix: Anarchy is superior (Encounters anything difficult) Helix: okay maybe we could use some Democracy. Dome: _you come to me in your hour of need_

Shoutout to the heroes that spammed b during the power plant on anarchy, for this is what prevented the loss of the masterball

Best comment: “what are we going to do after this”

It's ironic how the chat is called "The Hive Mind" even though they are the exact opposite of a hive mind. They're more like a multiple personality disorder, hundred thousand identities big.

I always hated calling him Battery Jesus. It's like we have Bird Jesus. I wanted to call him John the Zaptist

An addition: Bloody Sunday happened on Australia's shift, and when the West woke up in the morning it felt like World War III was going to be declared.

I believe what made the stream decline was the novelty wearing off, most people only played the first gen, and also everyone jumped the gun on the external lore right from the get go instead of it evolving naturally like the first time. I remember that right on the first day of Crystal, people were already forcing lore onto their first Pokemons and encounters

Anarchy: *faces a ledge* Democracy: _You must be truly desperate to come to me for help_

I'm floored by how this has as few views as it does. This is incredibly well done. Great work!

Back when the phenomenon was going on I only ever heard about the Helix thing. Finally learning there was so much more to it is completely mindblowing. Thanks for the incredibly entertaining recap, I can only imagine how much effort it took to create. Hope to see more like this from you guys in the future!

This is great, it's exactly what I was looking for. Although I wish you would have mentioned why people loved the helix fossil, (it was the only item they couldn't toss at the time they got it) other than that. This is the best recap for tpp I've found so far. Thanks

Surprised no one talked about how Omynate successfully evolved while in Democracy...

Shit like this will never happen again. Twitch plays Pokemon was so situational, that is nearly impossible to happen again.

The more rapid conversational exchange, the expansion of the screen to include the comments, and the culminating moment of you simultaneously recounting how many people were present during the final battle all contributed to peak hype. It was incredibly well-delivered. Thanks for recreating the excitement so well. Absolutely got a subscription from me.

not sure why this was suggested, but I enjoyed every second of it. It just feels so alive when the community makes some funny lore based around the run.

It's interesting how people people hated democracy yet it was useful in a handful of instances.

I was there when we caught Zapdos. I tried to control the chaos by entering the b button

for the love of all things holy please make 11:25 into a t shirt

Your two videos are a treasure the community. Thanks guys!

This is one of the greatest moments of collaboration in recent human history. This also is a parallel to the evolution of AI.

What if Dome isn’t all evil? I mean, look at how many times democracy helped. I see Dome not as an enemy to Helix, but an ally

I think this is the first time I have heard the phrase 'successfully blacked out'.

This is by far the best Twitch plays Pokemon recap, great job guys. I know this video will pick up and gain the views it deserves.

This is a much better synopsis than a lot of much more watched videos. Great work

"what religion do you believe in?" me: it's complicated...

13:36 “Sky Attack was the only super-effective move vs Exeggutor” Zapdos who knows Drill Peck: “Am I a joke to you?”

Thats one of THOSE gaming moments you will never forget. I actually shed a tear when the video was over. I laughed so much during both videos. Thanks so much for "writing down" this story

I ran into a Red cosplayer during my first time attending Sakura-Con years ago, and I recalled the cosplayer holding a sign saying, "Would you like to talk about our Lord and Savior, Lord Helix?" It was that moment I went to learn about the Twitch Plays Pokemon lore, with the persistent urge to be taught about it through my sister and that one cosplayer alone. So watching your videos discussing about Twitch Plays Pokemon really helped me come to understand why Omanyte was so loved worshipped at the time.

"Sky attack was the only superaffective move on grass type" Didn't AA-j have Drill Peck?

watching the stream between classes was the best time i had in highschool, and catching up with the amazing artwork through the redit to keep in the loop was heavenly praise helix

how do you not have thousands of subs? the quality of this is on par with summoning salt etc

Some things to mention: during this time a second stream started called twitch plays pokemon blue. Its users fluctuated between 400-1000 so it was much more managable so finished the whole game in anarchy. For Catching Zapdos I was there and it was glorious, we all spammed the perfect inputs at the perfect time, it was systematic in its chaos. Blood sunday was hilarious lol Reviving Helix was like magic. During victory road when they first entered you didnt mention it but we actually solved the first boulder puzzle in anarchy and I was the group leader directing people what to spam at what time(to compensate accurately for the delay). This was an effective method of using anarchy that was developed initially by a guy named Zeke that we then impeached with the "impeach Zeke" movement. ATV beating Dragonite was dramatic, hilarious and exhilerating like much of TPP. I distinctly remember the art that came from that being awesome. Now the people who were kids when red/blue first came out such as myself were university kids at this time and as the end drew near it was the time we were supposed to be writing essays and studying, and I just remember thinking I have to be there when it happens no matter how much it fucks with my marks even though I really tried to prevent that. The end happened, it was glorious, and we celebrated in the TPP reddit. Also after crystal we did the other generations and in the first game with DS touch screen commands we beat the game with 100% anarchy while (get this) a flareon was one of our mains. Tons of elaborate lore was written to explain it. Crazy fun times, and the democracy people were grumpy about it lol Edit: another thing worth mentioning is that during this time a guy wrote a song about TPP that was really good.

I consider both of the gods good, they were merely unable to work together due to their worshipers.

Is anyone else having a weird memory thing where it feels like you remember the Twitch Plays Pokemon thing taking like, a year or more from start to finish?

The little bit towards the end where they talk at the same time is literally so dramatic and I effing love it. Amazing video lol Makes me sad I wasn't a part of this when it happened, knowing no other run will prob be this grand. But it's still an awesome story

i love the fact that bird jesus's level is 69

I have never become so attached to a story before. This is beautiful and one of the greatest moments in history thank you for informing me of this event i sadly missed

Thank you ! I was searching for a clear video on this event and you made it ! It deserves way more views, that is an awesome work

Democracy (to Anarchy): *You couldn't live with your own failure, and where did that bring you..? Right back to me.*

It's interesting being there. Being apart of it, seeing art as it comes out, it was the best thing until Pokemon Go was released. Being apart of that history and how little it is remembered or talked about today is sad.

This is so well done. Truly captures the nostalgy of TPP. And Ive to say the lore of TPP is absolutely nuts, love it.

"Bruno, the next Gym Leader" 11:40

I love coming back and watching these two videos every year or so...

This was so perfectly done. Great job!

" This was seen as a miracle granted by helix" Helix: I made you spent 13 hours near a ledge

I'm kinda sad that theres very little chance twitch plays pokemon will ever be as popular as it was

I'm so glad I watched these 2 vids to get the history of this epic moment in gaming culture

*Congratulations my boyz, for 1K Subscribers!*

"Sky attack was the only super effective move the team had on Exeggutor" Battery Jesus had Drill Peck, though.

Thank you for so accurately and succinctly documenting this phenomenon! Future historians will thank you. 🙌

Ah, those were the days... oh, if only someday this phenomenon could see a resurgence. That would be a sight to behold for sure.

God every year or so I have to watch these again. It was fun being there when it happened, but having it recounted like this is amazing.

The nicknames are the best thing to come out of TPP lmao

Thanks a lot for this well-narrated video !

the part at 14:36 where you speak all at once is awesome! it made the whole thing feel even more like a legend :)

“We could make a religion out of this”

awesome video! great narration

I was here for it. It was such an exciting time. Reading the twitter when I was at work, up all night watch and participating and the joy when ATV won the last fight! Take me back

This is absolutely amazing

Thank you for making this

I let the stream run at work and always checked it. What awesome memories this stream created :)

Oh please do the following parts! Love that content

Amazing 2 part videos.

"You could not live with your own failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me."- Democracy

I think the whole flareon situation is like if I wrote an essay by punching a keyboard and then got angry at the keyboard for getting a bad grade on it. #Flareondidnothingwrong

Absolutely criminal that you guys dont have more subs

this deserves way more views.

i remember the one time i joined the stream was when they were stuck behind the table and i sat there for like 20 minutes until i went "fuck this" lmao

Thank you for your effort !

Amazing vid, thanks!

Great videos guys

Thanks for making this, now I understand the in-jokes without having to actually watch this painful ordeal in full.

Brings a tear to your eye doesn't it?

I will always hold this dear to my heart. What a run.

I was there for the red run. I didn't even have a twitch account back then. It was the first stream I ever watched on twitch and I started it sometime before mount moon. Because I didn't have an account j couldn't input (or later get the badge) but I was glued to the stream in-between classes. I remember most of these moments with perfect clarity.

What if they released the Lapras while on the island😂😂

Woah thank yo so much forall this story

where are y'all. your 2 videos on TPP has been popping up in recommends lately, you guys have a good way of presenting a story

you know, i find it sad how democracy was pictured with an eevee, because i like eevee a lot. but eh, every story has it’s ups and downs, and i really liked to watch these videos. good job, whoever you people are.

This video deserves more views

Best lore ever, this was really something

The best documentary!

This made me cry

The art that came from the lore was just amazing

“lives deep in the bones of its anchient followers to this day.” ah, yes. i remember freshman year. every tuesday, each peron in class took a turn doing short reports on current events. i was ectatic to bring up tpp, as the first one in class volunteering to go, not even a week into the game, as far as i remember. even the “eww, gamers” people were blown away by the multiplayer being in the 60-thousands at the time. ahh, great memories. i still have some of the fanart bookmarked with the rest of my nostalgia folder. :)

Great trip down memory lane. I remember joining shortly before the ledge, and stuck around until the Helix had been struck down. Ended up falling out as Hoenn began. I feel bad about not sticking around, but at the same time, I'd have a hard time staying involved for half a decade

This is amazing

"You know the saying, 4th time is the charm" lmao

this was beautiful.

This video is a piece of history

Would love to see you cover the 2nd Twitch plays pokemon

I called off of work two days in a row to witness the end back when it was live

I love how they have a depiction of the pokemon who were released. I didn't realize twitch plays pokemon was such an emotional journey

This was beautiful

More of the twitch plays histories would be cool to see

The synchronization of your voices in that one part was just fantastic
