Twitch Plays Pokemon: Dig, Dig for Victory!

It's actually a good thing that our Pidgeot can't hit ghosts. We might die a lot but our drowzee and rattata will grind like a motherfucker
 
Sky attack TM is on victory road. Would that be a good move for Pidgeot?

Just thinking into the future...however far that is. A bird without a fly move. Shame.

My face watching the stream for the last 48 hours:

I actually turned the music back on.

Now we can go back to the tested strat of fighting until we black out

Curious to see how lift key gets incorporated into the lore. it's first on the list so we will be "consulting" it often, but we gained it through the evil domecracy

The only thing I regret out of this anarchy/democracy system is the fact that I kinda did want to see a fully mob-powered rebellion of giving up the rocket base and attempting the pokedoll with their last four thousands (at the time) of cash. The idea of them pulling something as crazy as that off would be the cleverest of stunts from the dark of the tunnel.

If they tried that and failed, and THEN the streamer implemented the system due to all options having been exhausted, I would've been completely happy. I do believe the system in general is going to prevent a lot of genuine frustrations in the future, but I still look back to the one time where a coincidental glitch could've coincidentally saved us in such a coincidentally feindish dungeon.
 
It really cracks me up that flying-type moves can hit ghosts. Punches and kicks and goddamn Hyper Beam don't harm ghosts, but a bird can peck or claw or wing-smash one and it does damage.

Honest question: Did you consider 12 (28?) straight hours of walking into walls in the team rocket maze joyful chaos? I think you might be in the minority if so. :p I think it's nice when it's not 20+ hours of the same building, otherwise I might agree.

No, which is why I was initially ok with the democracy option. Unfortunately, as with all cheats, we've started abusing it since then.

We were only in Rocket HQ in the first place because the Poke Doll method failed.

yep. it's not like we hadn't already navigated to the place where the scope was twice already without democracy.

We didn't even try that method. The only reason we got some dolls in the first place was because we were trying to buy a water stone.

They started to, once they had the Pokedolls. They got as far as the grassy area that was just on stream and tossed all three right there.

I think if it had been earlier in the day, we wouldn't have switched to democracy to get that silph scope. They would have been start9'd into oblivion just like right after we fought giovanni

Nothing wonderful about this god forsaken butthole of a building. A sacrifice must be made so that the journey may continue.
The Democracy meter is just a meter of faith.

I'd prefer massive fluctuations in progress and to read this thread/subreddit and have it be true anarchy without compromise. Too many people now want to see progression if something takes more than a few hours and there aren't that many types of holdups in the game.
Victory Road or Safari Zone taking over a week is a plus, but gotta keep those viewers interested I guess.

That's true, but it doesn't mean that days or hours of failing the HQ wouldn't bring them back to give it another shot. The money was still there to try it. Exhaust that, and you have the real fail state.

It just sucks that ghost types have Night Shade. We're going to really need a lot of coordination when choosing Drowse's attack. A couple of Pounds will just get him killed

How are long, boring, uneventful moments a plus? It'll be a huge relief to the six man skeleton crew still in the stream after a week, and everyone else will go "thank god, we can finally watch and participate in something new." You saw it yesterday when the chat attempted the maze fruitlessly for over a day, and no new memes or events came from it.

The stream has been in Rocket HQ for almost 24 hours while having the democracy option available, so it's not like people are spamming democracy. It has been used sparingly and efficiently, but anarchy is how the chat is bent and it definitely shows.

And then we throw it on the ground, right?
And we lose what? The chance of having Psychic on Drowzee is way better than not using the TM at all and makes Pokemon Tower a lot easier. If we accidentally toss it, too bad, hopefully we'll get it by level up later. None of our other Pokemon need it.
