Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Twitch Plays Pokémon (TPP) is a series of social experiments that started in February 2014 in which commands representing buttons on the requisite Nintendo console are entered into a chat on Twitch, and then translated into a game of Pokémon via an IRC bot. In short, a horde of people fighting over a controller (at its peak, over 100,000). Throughout its life, Twitch Plays Pokémon has spawned hilarious characters, memorable moments, and even a few joke religions.The very first and most well-known run began on February 12th, 2014, featuring the game Pokémon Red. It quickly and unexpectedly exploded in popularity, achieving an average viewership of 88,000 viewers and grabbing the attention of both numerous media outlets and the Twitch staff themselves. The game was completed after 16 days of continuous gameplay, and other Pokémon games thus followed; while the stream never reached anywhere close to its initial popularity, it is still running to this very day.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })There are currently 58 completed main runsnote The stream considers both Touhoumon and Moemon as the 12th run, as well as both Red and Blue from the fourth anniversary as the 28th run. Each of the six runs of The Gauntlet is however counted separately, as the 41st to 46th run., as well as numerous intermissions, the most prominent being betting matches set up using Pokémon Stadium 2 then later Pokémon Battle Revolution, and sidegames which are played alongside said betting matches at the pace of one input between each match.Main runs are played mainly in Anarchy mode, meaning every input is read one after the other continuously, but sometimes allow for the activation of Democracy mode, in which users instead vote for the next input or string of input at regular intervals. In those instances, the specific commands "anarchy" and "democracy" allow users to decide on whether to stay on the current mode or switch to the other.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Additional modes include Commander mode, which automatically determines the next input towards a desired action ("move", "item", "switch", "run"), Military mode, an earlier and less functional version of Commander mode that performed the entire action at once, Congress modenote often referred to simply as a subset of Democracy mode, which is used for sidegames and in which users vote for a single input every few minutes, and Turbo Anarchy, a much-derided mechanic that randomly picked from the last few inputs without break.Of note is that the title of "Streamer" is usually employed to refer to the person in charge of the stream as a whole, but does not necessarily equate to the person actually hosting it. The runs were first hosted by the original Streamer ("TwitchPlaysPokemon" or "OG Streamer") until DekuNukem hosted them from the first Nintendo 3DS run to the third, after which the stream was hosted by s_SoNick, and finally by m4_used_rollout starting in mid-2017. The original Streamer stepped down altogether in late 2017, leaving the title of Streamer to Aissurtievos for the last run of Season 4, then to Chaos_Lord after said run ended, to ax6 between Season 7 and 8, and finally to m4_used_rollout in mid-2021.TPP won the award for "Best Fan Creation" in the first-ever The Game Awards in 2014, and a Guinness World Record for the most participants on a single-player online video game. It has also spawned many, many snowclones, leading to the creation of a "Twitch Plays" category on Twitch, one of the most notable being Fish Plays Pokemon, in which a fish plays Pokémon Red.The official stream can be found here. The stream's official subreddit can be visited here. There also is an official Twitter account, available here. For archived progress of the runs, go here. | |

Arc Symbol | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: Several: Red's symbol was the Helix Fossil. Crystal's symbol was AJ's Pokegear. Emerald's symbol was either an Urn or a "Special Forces A Team" logo. FireRed's symbol was the Commewnist Star. Platinum's symbol was a Sun. HeartGold's symbol was mail, at least for a time. Black symbol was the Entralink as the protagonist would spend hours on it, until it was finally disabled. Black 2's symbol was sunglasses, given how the Pokémon on Cly's team are commonly depicted. X's symbol was d's fedora and stock of Awakenings. Omega Ruby's symbol was the Dowsing Machine antennae. Red Anniversary's symbol was the Town Map, and later the Bicycle. Touhoumon and Moemon's symbol was the Teachy TV, which was registered on both games in sync as soon as it was obtained. Alpha Sapphire's symbol, at least later on, was the Dusk Key. Crystal Anniversary's was Olden note Glitches, essentially. . In all of its various incarnations. Brown's was probably Pizza, or something to that effect. Randomized Platinum's was the Water Stone. Prism's is the Mining Pick. | |

The Artifact | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: The stream's bio talks about people controlling a robot playing a game of Pokemon, and the stream's description of the host was a robot wearing Red's clothes and hair. Generally, the lore is more of the mob controlling the host, as a living person, directly, and the cosplaying robot was demoted to a sub emote and the non-image tab on the official subreddit, changing appearance depending on the host currently being played. | |

Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_16c3b640 | comment |
False Prophet (later referred to as Martyr as history seems to look upon her more favorably) was an Apple of Discord that threatened to negatively color the Mob's view of the Eevee line in general. Burrito, however, was The Heart and characterized as an All-Loving Hero and remains one of the most beloved figures in stream history, while Solaireon, the next Flareon, ended up being the highest-leveled Pokémon in Napoleon's party and likewise much beloved. | |

Democracy Is Flawed: Invoked in that, although Democracy allows the mob to perform surgical actions, decisions are still susceptible to mistakes thanks to the lag, progress is much slower paced, and the voting system is able to be abused by large groups of people. | |

Gray-and-Grey Morality: Ultimately, the anarchists and the democrats. They display roughly the same amount of (intentional) dickishness, they both play the game to win, they both love their Pokémon dearly, both loathe and fear the PC, and so on. The only source of their conflict is the means they want to use to play the game. | |

Sliding Scale of Libertarianism and Authoritarianism | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_20bcfa13 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Libertarianism and Authoritarianism: Sort of and all over the place. The Anarchy and Democracy slider is a pendulum. During difficult spots, the mob tends to vote favorably for Democracy and thus shutting off all commands except the most popular one at any given moment. After a while, it will slide back into Anarchy Mode. | |

Artifact of Death: The PC - its use nearly always results in the mod accidentally releasing Pokémon, even very strong and important ones. It is feared and hated by the Mob, and is only used when absolutely necessary. | |

Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_36ed3e1e | comment |
Ascended Meme: The whole TPP universe is composed of these. In a more traditional sense, many of the channel's subscriber-only emotes are based on memes, including "FogChamp" (a play on "PogChamp", used when the foggy arena appears in PBR), the Helix and Dome emotes, and the cursor (a reference to chat's worship of "Lord Cursor" whenever the streamer's mouse cursor is visible). Twitch itself also added the "praiseIt" emote as a tribute to TPP's deity. The official Pokémon 20th Anniversary anime marathon stream was titled "Twitch Watches Pokémon". | |

Artifact of Doom | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_3b5fcbb7 | comment |
Artifact of Doom: Several objects in the games have become hated by the Mob and tend to cause problems when encountered. The PC is the biggest one, since its use often results in releasing Pokémon. The Dome fossil has been given this treatment, although many players now believe it is just the other side of the coin in an Order Versus Chaos divine battle against the beloved Helix fossil. Ledges and Giovanni's mazes are dreaded, too. | |

Story Arc: Enforced by the community in Season 1 with the "Bill Arc" (officially Emerald through HeartGold, though in practice Platinum wasn't really a part of it). Season 3 has one placed within the games themselves, with each of the first two runs of the season ending with a brief appearance by an unknown bird Pokémon. The second appearance also came with a promise that it would be returning in the fourth run of the season. | |

The Unfought: Bill and the PC, even though the Mob would very much like to, although they were battled in Crystal Anniversary two years later. Any trainer or Pokémon that can be faced post-game (except for the Johto games, Pokémon X, and Anniversary runs) can't be fought either, since the games end when the Mob has defeated the Elite Four and Champion. | |

This is often considered that the Voices were only at first starting to control people for their desires, and had little to no care about their mental psyche. However, as the story progresses across the games, the Voices begin to grow softer and more amicable in character (and there are also significantly less of them, causing less strain to their hosts). They're still assholes though. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: Compared to the rest of the runs, Red and Crystal had the most basic stream layout, only having the screen, inputs, timer, and whatever input system was implemented at the time. Lore-wise, the whole voices residing with the protagonists slowly went to a lighter tone, with the hosts now being able to interact with the voices (usually friendly Unowns) on a "normal" adventure rather than being horribly traumatized throughout the journey. By looking at each of the hosts, Red is typically the only one negatively affected by the voices. | |

Contrasting Sequel Main Character | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_517d2eb8 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: In lore, the player characters in each generation appear to contrast with each other. Red was religious and spread the word of Lord Helix, while AJ was an atheist and sought to wage war against these gods. A relished in complete anarchy and militarism, while Alice strived for order and scientific research. Napoleon came from a sheltered, proper background and disdained Pokémon at first until he grew to assemble the Court of the Sun, while Ao was wild, sought the Pokémon gods of old, and transformed under the moon. AJ's Fanon story involved him becoming bitter and jaded about Red and his team, eventually deciding to Screw Destiny and take down the god-like team Red had assembled. GMYC (Jimmy), on the other hand, was usually interpreted as an avid Hero-Worshipper of Red, and tried to tailor his adventure to be like his. AJ wanted to take down God like beings. Aoo wants to bring them back. Jimmy had little care for his Pokémon, instead blithely agreeing to release and stop evolving them and becoming Champion as the voices tells him. Cly sought to become Champion to prove herself to others, focusing on her Pokémon by keeping a consistent party and letting them evolve immediately. Early in Emerald's run, A wanted to throw the world into chaos, and was generally a brash, reckless girl who eventually fell for her rival Brendan. FireRed's protagonist (also named A) was portrayed as a more serious, intelligent young girl who wished to fix the distortions in her world, and seemed to either ignore her rival or hate him for his skill. The fourth and second to last runs of season 1 (Black and X, respectively) focused on two male Pokémon trainers that the audience chose by mistake, and didn't like. Both also tended to make rash decisions, and were known for sometimes giving away Pokémon at an alarming rate. The key difference here is that while GMYC wanted to take credit for everything he did in some vain attempt to become as legendary a hero as Red, D refused to take credit for anything he did during his run, most notably answering "No" when asked if he defeated Team Flare. As per Colosseum's canon, A7 is a former criminal who reforms and battles the evil organization he used to belong to. Evan, on the other hand, goes from a sweetheart at the start of the run, most commonly compared to Jimmy, to a Villain Protagonist in service of the setting's equivalent of a Great Old One. One between brothers: Napoleon (the elder) is cold, somewhat snarky, and gambles away regardless of consequences. Pepe (the younger) is more caustic about evolutions, doesn't bet as much, and is usually portrayed as somewhat shy. Paul is much older than the usual hosts, is The Alcoholic and simply a pizza guy. Cyan is younger than the usual host, thinks the voices are her imaginary friends, and her father is Lance. It extends to key Pokémon, too. False Prophet (later referred to as Martyr as history seems to look upon her more favorably) was an Apple of Discord that threatened to negatively color the Mob's view of the Eevee line in general. Burrito, however, was The Heart and characterized as an All-Loving Hero and remains one of the most beloved figures in stream history, while Solaireon, the next Flareon, ended up being the highest-leveled Pokémon in Napoleon's party and likewise much beloved. A's Azumarill, M4, was characterized as a hardened warrior, but had the Thick Fat ability, a largely defensive ability. Arty's T4, on the other hand, was characterized as being much nicer, but had the Huge Power ability more suited to a warrior like M4. Cyan's Y4 was girlier still, being portrayed in artwork with long hair, and also had the Huge Power ability. Sunshine the Shinx from Platinum stayed in the party the entire run, but never evolved. Transshinx from Randomized Platinum was eventually left in the PC, but was then retrieved in the postgame and evolved, only to be unceremoniously released. | |

Level Grinding: Averted for most of TPP Red, but eventually it was necessary since some of Red's Pokémon desperately needed to gain a few levels.

Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_5f9fbd83 | comment |
Not Allowed to Grow Up: Because evolution can be cancelled in Pokémon, needless to say team members tend to evolve much later than they normally would, and it was getting worse with every passing game because of the increasing number of B spambots and the decreasing number of people to counter them. Things came to a head in Black where no Pokémon evolved at all, prompting the streamer to avert the trope in the next run by hacking forced evolutions into the game. | |

Sequel Hook | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: The creator has confirmed Crystal, Emerald, FireRed, Platinum, HeartGold, and Black before the previous games' runs were finished, giving people something to look forward to (or dread). Black 2 wasn't announced until after Black had already been beaten, however. Brown took it to another level, as it turned out to be a slightly modified version made especially for the run. Upon beating the final boss, the Mysterious Bird from the ending of Anniversary Crystal reappeared briefly, then left. A message appeared on-screen asking where it went and promising that it would be back in Twitch Plays Pokémon Prism, debuting in September.note At the time that this message was added, however, Prism was planned to be the very next run; by the time Brown actually ended, Randomized Platinum had been added to the queue, pushing Prism back to October. | |

We Hardly Knew Ye: Occasionally, the Mob will deposit or release a Pokémon that was just caught. The original record was C3KO the Hitmonlee in Red, who lasted 37 minutes according to the progress doc. However, this was eventually beaten by an unnamed Meowth in Anniversary Red, who lasted 15 minutes, and later by a Porygon in Anniversary Crystal who lasted just 9. | |

No Sense of Direction | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_69987960 | comment |
No Sense of Direction: Not everyone giving commands knows where they need to go next, or remembers how to get there. Also, Twitch has a video delay of about 25 seconds, and it increases the more people are there. Often people will give commands which will stop being useful 30 seconds later. This contributes a lot. | |

Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_6bedf674 | comment |
invokedName's the Same: It is not uncommon for a character (typically a Pokémon) to be given the same name as another character. The name "A" comes to mind, having been given to two player characters and at least three Pokémon. In addition in Twitch Plays Pokémon Black, their starter was named "," (a single comma), the same as the starter from HeartGold. | |

Internet Jerk: Plenty of the Mob are simply there to impede progress in whatever way possible. Often 'trolls' are blamed for things that are just a result of the exceedingly long and non-obvious 26-second delay between commands being entered and executed, but there are a few repeated commands that clearly make no sense at all. | |

The Host chosen was a dark-skinned girl named Etr, who managed to reach the Hall of Fame in a mere 3 days and 19 hours, the fastest out of any main runs so far. Thanks to the help of online trades, she managed to complete the Pokédex that was passed down to her by the previous Hosts of The Gauntlet. | |

Later-Installment Weirdness | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_7b21ef92 | comment |
Later Installment Weirdness: Pokémon Black 2 and later runs have some sort of gimmick to keep the series fresh, such as increased difficulty, extra conditions to finish, or controlling two games at once. Pokémon X and onwards turns the HUD to something similar to the Emerald/FireRed runs, where only the Pokémon's team and their HP are present.note Previous games ran in emulators, and the HUD simply read information out of their memory. Since no 3DS emulators existed at the time, later games were played on a real 3DS, making this impossible; the HUD instead captured a screenshot whenever the party menu was open and displayed that. Pokémon Alpha Sapphire was this compared to previous randomizer runs. Fixed Pokémon such as legendaries and gifts from NPCs (including starters) were no longer randomized, but evolutions were, with the only guarantees being that the evolved form would share a type with its predecessor and would have a base stat total within 20% of the normal evolved form's base stat total. The next randomizer run, Randomized Platinum, returned to randomizing fixed encounters, but also kept the random evolutions and added randomized typings. | |

The fourth and second to last runs of season 1 (Black and X, respectively) focused on two male Pokémon trainers that the audience chose by mistake, and didn't like. Both also tended to make rash decisions, and were known for sometimes giving away Pokémon at an alarming rate. The key difference here is that while GMYC wanted to take credit for everything he did in some vain attempt to become as legendary a hero as Red, D refused to take credit for anything he did during his run, most notably answering "No" when asked if he defeated Team Flare. | |

Crutch Character | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_7deb3fb1 | comment |
Crutch Character: Several, although unintentionally in most cases. The extreme difficulty in switching Pokémon order and the lack of precise control the mob has over movesets and battles means that these tend to emerge when only one or two Pokémon on the team are capable of winning consistently and gaining experience, while the rest of the team eventually Can't Catch Up. Examples include Bird Jesus the Pidgeot of Red, Lazorgator the Feraligatr in Crystal, and M4 the Azumarill in Emerald. | |

Dysfunction Junction | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_820ac3c5 | comment |
Dysfunction Junction: To date, all of our protagonists have had something wrong going for them. Red's protagonist was a schizophrenic-turned Omnicidal Maniac by the time of TPP Crystal. Crystal's protagonist was a god-slaying Child Soldier with an inferiority complex. Emerald's protagonist was a sociopath with a bit of a mean streak who invokedmay or may not have killed 7 people prior to the start of the game. FireRed's protagonist may have ruined the life of their childhood friend to the point of potentially suicidal depression. Platinum's protagonist was a compulsive gambler who is apathetic to the Pokémon world at best. HeartGold's protagonist was a glitchy Humanoid Abomination and also a werewolf. Black's protagonist was an affable ditz who obeyed Team Plasma's orders to release his Pokémon, and thinks of the Voices so highly that he thinks they can do no wrong. Black 2's protagonist was an idol singer who was looking for her purpose in life while dealing with mother issues. X's protagonist was a boy unwanted by the Mob who was shy around women and had a penchant for trading his Pokémon online. Omega Ruby's protagonist was a hyperactive soda junkie with an unpronounceable name and also a robot. Colosseum's protagonist was a compulsive kleptomaniac who couldn't exactly manage the infighting in his team. Crystal Anniversary's protagonist battled depression after possibly losing his best friend/Love Interest in a shipwreck and may have eventually snapped entirely and fallen into the service of an evil Eldritch Abomination. Brown's protagonist likewise had a gambling problem, but also may have been an alcoholic and also gave alcohol to his Pokémon. | |

Pause Scumming | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_82a3978e | comment |
Pause Scumming: In areas where precise movement is vital, people will sometimes spam 'start' in order to deliberately slow down the input stream, allowing users to catch up with the 26-second delay and ensuring that the flood of commands when the menus are exited will generally reflect Red's position rather than where he was 26 seconds ago. Of course, some people just spam pause all the time to be jerks. | |

Deconstruction: Of the Mind Hive, at least in-universe. Instead of the thousands of voices in the player character's mind cooperating, they all tend to input multiple commands at once, causing them to not be able to move, talk, or battle coherently. The Kid Hero trope. A potentially mentally disturbed child (whose parents don't seem to care at all about the whole "mentally disturbed" thing, even encouraging their kid to go) is allowed to do field research on dangerous animals while travelling an entire region despite having no strategy to defend themselves against said animals and has No Sense of Direction. Because of this, they get into plenty of trouble thanks to the lack of organization and coordination that older, wiser trainers might have. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Whenever a low-leveled 'mon either defeats a much stronger opponent or raises a few levels. Also frequently occurs during Previous Player Character Cameos, where previously-underleveled Pokémon have their levels buffed to be an appropriate challenge. Examples include ATV from Red more or less doubling in level, from high 30s to mid-70s, for the Mt. Silver battle in Crystal, and Baba's all-but-unused Pidgey, Poliwag, and Togepi appearing in Anniversary Crystal as a Pidgeot, Politoed, and Togetic, all at level 100. | |

Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_ad54ff39 | comment |
Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure: Wattson was so ridiculously difficult to beat the TPP community has started to use "Wattsons" as a unit to how many tries it takes to beat a particular trainer. 1 Wattson is 23 attempts. A second measure was made to take time into account. 1 WAHA (Wattson Hours Adjustment) is 1.55 days/Wattson. Anniversary Crystal left this measure's usefulness questionable after 6 trainers achieved WAHAs above 0.1 while taking 6 or fewer attempts to defeat (trainers are only considered noteworthy if they take at least 7 attempts). | |

And then the original "Red" reappeared in Anniversary Red as "Dream Red", encountered by looking under the bed in Abe's house in Pallet Town after beating the Elite Four. Anniversary Crystal one-upped this by having five different protagonists able to be battled in some way or another: Abe (who, as expected, replaced the Red Battle at the end of Mt. Silver), AJ (who appeared at the Trainer House, which shouldn't have really been as surprising as it was since the canon function of that building is to battle other GSC players' teams), BABA (who took over the "Dream" role from Red), Red again (who just appeared out of nowhere at the entrance to Mt. Silver), and Evan himself (in the form of the League PC, which included a setting to battle a full-level 100 version of the player's Hall of Fame team.) | |

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: The protagonists often get easily distracted - checking the Pokedex over and over again, examining their items multiple times, wandering aimlessly, etc. Anniversary Crystal was especially fraught with this, as a rather large number of fairly challenging quests opened up all at once upon defeating Blue for the first time. Heading back to a quest at a later time after failing at first became commonplace, giving a number of the rematch Gym Leaders high WAHA ratingsnote A modified version of Wattson Ratings that takes time into account as well despite not one of them having a raw Wattson Ranking above .261. | |

It's Easy, So It Sucks!: Invoked by the Anarchists. The main complaint is that the Democracy system makes the entire game so easy, it is not as fun as the chaotic mess of the Anarchy system. In fact, this reasoning helped produce start9 which made the progression in the game even worse and this specific command is remembered as a sign of a protest against Democracy. However, the rather few times that Democracy helped the game, whose problems were both caused by anarchists) are not really spoken out as often as it should. | |

There were some Obvious Rule Patches for issues other than Democracy as well: Limiting the number of inputs that can be chained together to 3 in order to prevent soft resets starting in Emerald. Disabling the C-Gear in Black. Disabling Wi-Fi in the 3DS games. Reengaging the C-Stick in Alpha Sapphire after initially disabling it because it turned out to be necessary to navigate on Latias. The entire "Underground Saga" in Randomized Platinum. PP got himself stuck in a Leaf Trap, which requires blowing into the DS's microphone to escape, so after manually removing him, a "blow" command was added. Less than an hour later, the command was changed to "mic". A few hours after that, the Explorer Kit, Vs. Recorder, and Pal Pad were outright disabled and the new command was removed entirely. | |

After Pokémon X, the streamer found the color-coded usernames cumbersome as more colors are being added, and as a result, the players have a numbered and colored emblem next to their username representing the run they've made their first input. Previous runs have their colors retained while X has dark blue, Omega Ruby has dark red, Red Anniversary has white, Touhoumon & Moemon has pink, Alpha Sapphire has navy blue, Coloseum has red and XD has dark purple. | |

Big "NO!": The mob fills the chat with these when things take a turn for the worse. The protagonist of Platinum, Napoleon, had his entire character develop around his answering of the question if he liked Pokémon with a blunt "No". | |

Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Every time the user mob is close to clearing a ledge or achieving something difficult, something is bound to go wrong. At least under Anarchy mode. Sometimes during battles, there's one Pokémon left in the party at low health, and it is close to defeating the opponent, but it misses or the foe gets a critical hit, making the player white out. | |

Two Lines, No Waiting | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_ca7ec334 | comment |
Two Lines, No Waiting: Touhoumon and Moemon was a run like this. In general, many games post Season 1 have a game being played alongside it, but Touhoumon and Moemon had the distinction of being the only runs with this setup until Season 5. Season 5 revisited the idea with "Anniversary Red and Blue". Two runs, commands alternating between which game they'd go to (unless "directed" at one game, in which case they'd be skipped if they came up when the other game was supposed to receive a command), and they were actually allowed to use the Cable Club functions, resulting in roughly half of each final team having the other protagonist as their Original Trainer. | |

AJ's Fanon story involved him becoming bitter and jaded about Red and his team, eventually deciding to Screw Destiny and take down the god-like team Red had assembled. GMYC (Jimmy), on the other hand, was usually interpreted as an avid Hero-Worshipper of Red, and tried to tailor his adventure to be like his. | |

Cerebus Syndrome: Even though the community-created lore got pretty dark during Season 1's Bill Saga, things never got too heavy in-stream. Then Evan reached Mt. Silver, which in this romhack has Unown lettering spelling out things like "YOUR FATE ENDS HERE" and "THIS IS OUR TOMB TOGETHER NOW", and at the end of the level, there was an unexplained occurrence that turned out to be a Call-Forward to future runs. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: Playing the game in Anarchy can get pretty far, but during times like the Rocket Hideout and when the Mob wants to teach a move to a Pokémon, Democracy mode serves to keep them from being stuck for a long time. It's still frustrating for many how slow Democracy is and that it makes the game "too easy". | |

Hijacked by Ganon | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_da76b18 | comment |
Hijacked by Ganon: Nearly every game so far has had something to do with Bill. The False Prophet breaking apart Red's party? Bill sent him. Helix and Dome pitted against one another? Bill. Lanette messes with the new protagonist? Bill made her. The ecosystem of the world is severely out of whack? Bill created a randomizer. Team Galactic is plotting something nefarious? Bill's supplying them. Team Rocket members still running around? Bill's controlling them. However, with Bill's death at the end of HeartGold, the mob is fully aware that it might get old and he's not coming back. Likewise, the randomizer on Alpha Sapphire was blamed on the same "glitches" that had caused actual glitches in Anniversary Red and Moemon (and would later appear in Colosseum, though not in the same game-breaking way as in the former two). Furthermore, the logic for blaming them was based not on glitches that appeared in Alpha Sapphire but for ones that appeared in Platinum, way back in Season 1. Retroactively, this means that OLDEN, a villain not properly introduced until Season 3, was present in a Season 1 run. And ever since officially debuting in Season 3, everything that happens in the stream is blamed on OLDEN. After OLDEN's defeat in Prism, it's shifted to a new Glitch, OrgamLorple. | |

Despair Event Horizon: Happens quite often, usually when a Pokémon forgets a good move for a bad one, the trainer is stuck in one location for hours, or a Pokémon is accidentally boxed or even released. Particularly in Red, morale dropped severely after the events of Bloody Sunday, and in FireRed, the number of users plummeted when A was stuck in the Rocket Hideout during 26 hours of Anarchy. Black had Massacre Monday and Fatal Friday. Pyrite had the final battle in democracy. | |

But after the appearance of Red and AJ, as well as references to the Red, Emerald, and Vietnamese Crystal runs during Twitch Plays Pokémon Crystal Anniversary, the continuity has become a snarl with the potential that there are no alternate timelines, and no hosts that do not count. | |

Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_f0e85546 | comment |
Unbuilt Trope: Some lore of the very first run showed exactly what a child being remotely controlled by millions of bickering voices would look like from the perspective of the host in question. Later installments gradually lightened up the premise. This is often considered that the Voices were only at first starting to control people for their desires, and had little to no care about their mental psyche. However, as the story progresses across the games, the Voices begin to grow softer and more amicable in character (and there are also significantly less of them, causing less strain to their hosts). They're still assholes though. | |

No Final Boss for You | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_f8727733 | comment |
No Final Boss for You: Despite being a fan favorite Pokémon since Red and Blue's start in 1996, Mewtwo is unable to be found and battled, due to the fact that the stream always switches to the next game immediately after the final battle's completion. In Red and FireRed Versions, the game immediately stopped after the Mob beat Blue at the end of the Elite Four, preventing the Mob from being able to travel to Cerulean Cave. Mewtwo was found once as part of Randomized FireRed version, as the Randomized Zapdos. This, however, was not the true Mewtwo, as it was merely a copy made by Bill's Randomizer Curse. In HeartGold, where the Mewtwo found was randomized into a Beautifly. Red Anniversary averts this, since they have to fight and capture the Mewtwo to complete the Pokédex. | |

Darkest Hour | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: Every game except the first one always has a countdown every time the final boss is battled. After the countdown, the game ends, but the Mob has been able to beat all of the games with this countdown intact. This was taken seriously in Crystal, as if the Mob wasn't able to beat Red in a set amount of time, the series would've ended there. This was phased out late in Season 1, however. It came back with a vengeance in Season 4. After spending a full 24 hours trying to defeat Azure in Pyrite (almost continuous attempts, since the difficulty hack required that the party be nearly level 100 by the first attempt anyway), with many attempts plagued by trolls, others by well-meaning inputs going through at the wrong times, and a few where the Mob's plan was actually executed perfectly only for them to lose to critical hits and 30% chances to cause Paralysis, an ultimatum was given: Two more attempts, then Democracy will be made available for the battle. Not forced, merely made available. The Mob was desperate enough to actually use it. | |

Running Gag | |
Twitch Plays Pokémon (Lets Play) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Every fire-type starter gets released. Charmander, Torchic, Chimchar, Tepig... it's become a national sport for Twitch Plays Pokemon. Black 2 made history by breaking the trend, by being the first run in which a fire-type starter was not only NOT released, but was fully evolved thanked to a forced evolution mechanic, though it was invoked again with Omega Ruby's Torchic, Anniversary Red's Charmander (though at least they fully evolved it first), and Anniversary Crystal's Cyndaquil. Someone being called "A". An Eeveelution of some sort appearing on the host's team, often a Flareon. When randomizers are involved, this may instead be something that would have been an Eevee in the non-randomized game. Every randomizer run, one of the Pokémon received from an NPC will end up randomized to Sandslash. note The exception being Alpha Sapphire, where Pokémon received from NPCs weren't randomized. | |

Lore-wise, the whole voices residing with the protagonists slowly went to a lighter tone, with the hosts now being able to interact with the voices (usually friendly Unowns) on a "normal" adventure rather than being horribly traumatized throughout the journey. By looking at each of the hosts, Red is typically the only one negatively affected by the voices. | |

Depending on the Writer: The lore of this series runs on this trope. Although some plot elements are set in stone, the characters' personalities and interactions vary depending on which work one reads. Even the trope pages of their respective runs give brief overviews of different interpretations. | |
