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 an original Nintendo 3DS, DS, Game Boy Advance, or Game Boy are entered into a chat on Twitch, and then translated into a game of Pokémon via an IRC bot. In short, hundreds of people fighting over a controller. Throughout its life, Twitch Plays Pokémon has spawned hilarious characters, memorable moments, a World Record, and even a few religions.Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena is a special intermission for Twitch Plays Pokémon in which the chat bets on and plays an emulated version of Pokemon Battle Revolution. The stream uses 3-on-3 single battles, in where Pokemon are randomly selected beforehand, and the computer chooses the attacks for the teams. Bets are made by inputting "!bet <team color> <p100>" note 100 can be any amount at or below your balance, attacks are selected by inputs of !<letter a, b, c, or d>, with the topmost move being A then going downwards note There is a fifth input of "-" to use, but it only reverts the last input to no selected input., and Pokémon can be switched out by inputs of !<number 1, 2, or 3> with 1 being the first Pokémon in the lineup.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Originally, the game was a simultaneous betting minigame played alongside the Nintendo DS runs, using Pokemon Stadium 2, in which players would place bets on either Red or Blue Team and let RNG do its job. After Pokemon X was finished, the game was expanded into a weeks-long intermission played in-between major runs, with the gameplay now revolving around manipulating the RNG to choose the right move for their team, or not. Ever since Omega Ruby, Pokemon Battle Revolution replaced Pokemon Stadium 2, expanding the Pokemon roster to the fourth generation with custom movesets, abilities, and other gameplay quirks.Following the completion of Twitch Plays Pokémon Red Anniversary, a new subsection has been added to the stream in the form of an intermission game. After a battle or quiz have concluded, people would take a vote on which input for the game to take in around 50 seconds per round, in which the stream resumes to its betting state, and players who voted had a chance to win tokens. After Twitch Plays Pokémon Crystal Anniversary, the sidegame is now played alongside battles and the timer for voting has been increased. Players can use tokens for engaging on a stock bidding, placing bets on the next song to play, betting on a Pokemon Pinball board, or bribe players on the sidegame. The list of games played can be seen on the Sidegames folder below.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

The Artifact | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: Combined with The Cameo: The Pokémon selection roulette features Pokémon from Generations V, VI, and VII, despite them being unelectable due to them not existing in Battle Revolution and Generation IV as a whole. "Who's that Pokemon" segments have a possibility of featuring these future-gen species as the subject. The chat calls the bonus effect sometimes given when Ancient Power, Ominous Wind, and Silver Wind is used a Rainbow. This is because the bonus's visual effect was a rainbow colored barrier in Pokémon Stadium 2, which Pokémon Battle Revolution replaced with a small red effect. | |

| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: The Pokémon Roulette, whether by RNG or a custom match, can pick a team of Pokémon that will curbstomp the opposing team no matter what. Despite the near-impossible chances of winning, some players will tend to bid on the losing team for laughs, or for the slim chance of an immense payout. | |

Stealth Pun: The stream tracks the amount donated by every viewer and those who amass a grand total of $200 get a Wailmer Badge next to their name. Fittingly enough, in MMO and F2P design-speak, the Whale is a player archetype that pays disproportionately more for premium benefits. | |

No Plot? No Problem!: The "plot" is about the chat betting between two computer-controlled Pokémon Trainers for weeks until the next run starts. For the most part, the player is mainly focused on betting between two computer-controlled Pokemon Trainers until the next run starts. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Money! | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_230d64 | comment |
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Arena's probabilities are not influenced by the number of people voting but rather the total amount of bets. This means that a high bidder who chooses a different move has a good chance of being selected, for better or worse. At the final moments of Stadium 2 onward, people were able to use their donations to set up their own Pokémon Battles. In PBR, until Version 1.1.2, higher donations go first in the donor queue. The token system introduced after the anniversary run was suppose to help prevent this, as it's now a bidding war with tokens people get for every dollar donated, and during the intermission game around one to three people are selected at random and given a token. However, because of the sheer number of people on the stream, most are even lucky to get a single token in a month of playing, and those who donate can still donate a lot of money to get enough tokens that they flat out can't be out-bidded regardless. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Pokémon with Guillotine, Horn Drill, Sheer Cold or Fissure, which One-Hit KOs the opposing Pokemon, but has a 30% chance of hitting them (Fissure is useless with Flying-types). Added with the delayed selection from chat to the stream and any damage received when the move misses, it's possible for the Pokemon to faint before the move even connects (or not at all). | |

Lethal Joke Character | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: Shedinja, due to the fact that Arena does not allow for Pokemon switching other than using Roar or Whirlwind. It became the go-to guy for trap matches, as players would trick other people to bet on a team because Shedinja may automatically win or lose by some highly contrived plan to defeat it. Shedinja is also used for cancer (time-consuming) matches, especially for Pokemon who has the ability Trace. It has been banned for donation matches since Version 1.1.3 for a short while because of this and later got Curse for Version 1.1.4. | |

PBR includes a Draw outcome in the case the last pair of Pokemon faint simultaneously (or if the battle lasts 90 minutes). Initially, if the team's last Pokémon has Explosion or Self-Destruct, they'll use it so their money won't be deducted, but it was later changed so that exploding last turn results in the team who did so losing anyways, just as it was on Stadium 2. | |

Fake Balance | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_4b29b2c2 | comment |
Fake Balance: Version 1.0 to 1.1.1 had a set RNG seed that will always cause attacks and effects happen in certain turns, such as flinch-inducing attacks causing three consecutive flinches or OHKO moves hitting their opponent on the first attempt, both starting on the first turn for the out-speeding Pokemon. Version 1.2.3 brings back the set RNG (although temporary due to a save bug), and both seeds allow savvy players to bet on a team in order to exploit these effects. After a few days of Smash betting, players realized that some fighters are better than others on the same CPU level. As such, the streamer lowered some fighter's CPU levels to balance out the game. This resulted on those who didn't get the nerf being the far superior fighter to bet. Because of this, players would easily bet nearly all of their money and receive ridiculous amounts of winnings back, that is until the streamer noticed the exploits and limited betting to 1000 Pokedollars and modified the levels again. | |

Useless Useful Spell | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Spell: Lunar Dance and Healing Wish sacrifice the Pokémon who used it to regain HP for another Pokémon in their team, but with the no-switching gameplay, it automatically OHKOs itself. A similar sacrificial move, Memento, is sometimes useful to harshly lower an opponent's attack stat. Unlike the aforementioned moves, Memento will activate even if the user's Pokémon is the last one of the team, making it more dangerous. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: If talking about betting in the stream, players originally would only bet on either Red or Blue team and watch the computers play on a small screen crunched to the top left of the screen while controlling a character in the main run. Smash betting in Alpha Sapphire brought back this concept, now betting between four CPU characters instead of two teams. If talking about Arena, Version 0 had Rental Pokémon (from Pokémon Stadium 2) rather than custom-made ones, a small pool of music, a five-minute leaderboard, and no subgames, slots, quizzes, or custom matches. For whatever updates it did have, Version 0 is unique in which custom matches were inputted by the mods whenever they're added to the queue rather than by the form of Token Matches, and the teams' Pokemon are shuffled before a match (e.g. Red Team's Pikachu, Entei, and Magikarp on the betting screen would show up as Entei, Magikarp, and Pikachu on the battle screen). | |

Drop-In-Drop-Out Multiplayer: While you can't join during a battle, it's possible to drop out anywhere. If you are actually leaving the game and had set a command, it's recommended to input "!-" on the chat to remove it, or else the computer has a chance to pick your move (and probably make your team lose). | |

Combat Commentator | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_5a6c9d5c | comment |
Combat Commentator: Arena has plenty of commentary in addition to Pokémon Stadium/Pokémon Battle Revolution's stock Large Ham Announcer: As always, the mob is around to gloat/complain about the game. A chatbot of sorts called "tppsimulator" uses Mad Libs Dialogue assembled from the chat to make remarks every now and then. Considering the chat's Trash Talk, Seinfeldian Conversations and wanton usage of emotes, tppsimulator can be a hilarious Cuckoolander Commentator when it manages to say something coherent. On occasion, streamers will provide live voice commentary about the match. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: No matter how good the team's Pokémon, your strats, or your team's competency is compared to the opponent's, there's always the chance the computer will pick the one move you don't want, maybe multiple times, and screw your team over. This goes for choosing the correct moves that have a low probability of being chosen, for the opposing team. | |

Betting Mini Game: Started out as this between Pokémon Platinum to Pokémon Black 2 as a simultaneous side game to the main adventure. People would bet on purely RNG matches while they controlled the main character. After Pokémon X, it later evolved into its own game with its own time slot and a more interactive experience. Token Matches serve as this, where players bid their tokens for their custom match to be played. | |

Random Number God | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_869ffa6b | comment |
Random Number God: Stadium Betting relied purely on RNG; players would only bet and see if the computer chooses the attack needed to win. Version 0 onwards allow people to manipulate the probability of the moves by selecting such move, however RNG can choose those with lowered probabilities, even when it's at zero. For Version 1 only, it was later updated for the computer to choose their own Pokemon order as well, so matches won't be one sided by the preview (although it can give an advantage to the opponent). Since this is Pokémon, critical hits and misses influence the game more than the moves themselves. | |

Just One Second Out of Sync | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_8cfa86d7 | comment |
Just One Second Out of Sync: One the hurdles of team play in this game is changing moves in time before the computer chooses its move, which is easier said than done. The stream's delay from the chat makes players need to change moves ahead of time, the time being short if the player refreshes the stream or long if the player is on stream for longer, which is hard to do when a turn finishes quickly or the computer chooses an attack the team did not want. Other than RNG and trolling, this is also the reason for thrown matches, leading frustrations if a high bidder or the majority of players on a team are slow on switching the required move. On July 1, 2015, the leap second managed to break the chat, rendering all chat inputs null and void. Literally just one second out of sync temporarily stopped inputs on fights. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Given to newer players of the franchise, thinking that abilities and moves would work as intended but wont due to the various changes the games had throughout the series since. Some include the Physical/Special split not existing in Pokémon Stadium 2 (a Generation II game) and Sturdy in Pokémon Battle Revolution (a Gen IV game) only protecting Pokémon from OHKO moves and not giving the benefit of acting like a Focus Sash. The lack of the Fairy typing for Pokémon such as Granbull, Togekiss, and Clefable, which was not present when Battle Revolution was released. Averted in some of the moves and abilities granted to Pokémon- unlike with typing and ability mechanics, the moves and abilities available for a given species are based on what they can use/learn in later generations. One noticeable example is Drought (Groudon's signature move at the time Battle Revolution was released) being given to the Vulpix family. | |

Interface Spoiler | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_9cb3e22e | comment |
Interface Spoiler: Stadium Betting and Version 0 would slowly pick out the Pokémon during betting, however their silhouettes are already shown in their proper order. This gives a player the chance to bet beforehand, due to Pokémon usually having the same moveset and the team's order can have an advantage toward the opposing team. A later update randomizes the Pokémon order so both teams have, mostly, a fair match. Semi-averted in Version 1.0, which has multiple Pokémon sprites on a roulette, making it much harder to predict what the teams will be. All the Pokémon that will end up being chosen are always lined up horizontally before being chosen though, so with a screenshot taken at the right time, it is possible to determine the entire matchup as soon as a single Pokémon is revealed. Averted for Version 1.1 onward, where all slots are jumbled rather than horizontally straight and both Pokemon from each side are chosen at once, quickening its pace and effectively diminishing any form of quick predictions. PBR 2.0 once again shows the Pokémon's stats and moveset at the start of betting, but switching and team movement makes this a non-issue. | |

| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_b89ed08a | comment |
Obvious Rule Patch: The "Who's That Pokémon?" quiz originally had a silhouette of the Pokemon shown, which made answering questions much easier than intended. Certain Pokémon cannot be used for custom matches, due to them being commonly used to prolong matches (sometimes to a timed-out draw), but only if they are the first Pokemon to start the match. Because of the extremely large payouts players were easily getting on Smash betting during Alpha Sapphire, the streamer limited bets to 1000 Pokedollars. Player balances were also reset to whatever they had before the game had launched. | |

Outside-the-Box Tactic: New strategies are made to accommodate the lack of mid-battle switching. This is also the basis of "trap battles", to steal large sums of money owned by players who are less savvy on the mechanics of Pokémon, who generally look for what is super-effective and lose because of the more complex strategies, statistics and abilities. | |

Hope Spot: Whenever a team is on the verge on winning, sometimes the last turn, hoping that RNG (game mechanics or selection-wise) will comply to them, or not. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: PBR includes a Draw outcome in the case the last pair of Pokemon faint simultaneously (or if the battle lasts 90 minutes). Initially, if the team's last Pokémon has Explosion or Self-Destruct, they'll use it so their money won't be deducted, but it was later changed so that exploding last turn results in the team who did so losing anyways, just as it was on Stadium 2. Of course, there is the off chance that the system might say the battle is a draw, in the middle of an ongoing battle. Just looking at the chat alone, there is a large number of people who Rage Quit after losing a large amount of money on what should have been an easy match. | |

Updated Re-release | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: In the Gen 4/5 runs and intermissions (Stadium Betting), attacks would be chosen purely by RNG. In Version 0 onward, attacks are voted for by the human participants, although the RNG picks based on percentages and so even an attack with 1% of the votes still has a chance of happening. Pokémon Battle Revolution has constant updates that changes the Pokémon's moveset, stats, and abilities for better balancing, sometimes subtle or drastic. PBR 2.0 uses a new engine to run the base game without any graphical or stream problems. Switching is now able to be used. | |

Obvious Beta | |
| Twitch Plays Pokémon: Arena (Lets Play) / int_e8e0a952 | comment |
Obvious Beta: Every major update to the game will suffer any sort of bugs for around the first two weeks of launch. This includes from the wrong Pokemon being assigned to teams to the game outright freezing. The time it takes to fix its problems depends on whether the Streamer is online or not. Some early bugs, for example: At one point the entire system for running Stadium went down.◊ "2 pokemon only, and both of the pokemon are wrong. While we were on the selection screen, it froze for a little bit, then it glitched and we gave Kingler a pzncure berry then went into battle." During the first day of PBR, people found out they could bet negative numbers◊, which would always cause the match to end in a draw. The resulting trollfest from this could be seen from spaaaaaace. A few days after PBR started, there was a match with odds of 1:156 in favor of Red, which had Giratina. Giratina easily swept the blue team and Red won, but due to a glitch, the betting system thought Blue had won, giving them a huge payout and starting a riot among everyone who bet on Red. After Touhoumon and Moemon were finished, a slot machine was introduced, as a way to get tokens, by using tokens. People somehow could bet without having tokens and get negative tokens, this then provoked people to start 100 spin games with no tokens. The resulting troll fest wasn't as big as betting negative, however. | |
