Any guesses on how far the Twitch stream people will get? Right now they're stuck in the Rocket HQ. If they get past that, there's always the Safari and Victory Road and so many other obstacles. Only through the mercy of the Helix Fossil can completion be theirs.

Basically what is going on is they have an emulator of Red that determines what happens by the input of anyone who chats in the Twitch stream, or something like that. the Helix Fossil is apparently a new meme for them.

Lets see how many people I can piss off with my shiny legendaries over online battles.(I kid, I kid)

Cool, may watch it and input some stuff. (knew that Twitch account was going to be useful someday).

Be serious. Stuff like that is fun.

So I still need to get a 3ds but I plan on getting Pokemon Y. What are your guys' favorite pokemon of gen6? I honestly have no idea what I would like or dislike.

I too don't have a 3ds but from battling online I can safely tell you that I like these Gen 6 Pokemon:
Talonflame
Noivern
Aegislash

That is all.

I was probably going to have talonflame. I love fire types...

252 Spd 252 Atk Jolly Gale Wings Talonflame using Brave Bird is so wonderful on the Special Battle Season, out speeds all of the legal pranksters and can usually knock them out unless their properly Defensively setup.

Best way to do it is to run Protect on Talonflame and it's support (since Special Rules are all pokemon in the Kalos Dex minus major legendaries and double battles with no evasion or sleep clause). Swellow is good support because it can run Scrappy Quick Attack to take out bloody Sableye before it can do anything worthwhile.

My other favorite trick is Entrainment Durant with Mental Herb and Skill Swap. Cripples the opponents Prankster, since's all of the Pranksters rely on their ability to dick you over early and have no actual bulk.

I would probably have a team consisting of Talonflame, Malamar, Gogoat, and whatever else I feel like.

Apparently an Australian created it on Twitch as a "social experiment", and I think it snowballed through word-of-mouth and websites like Kotaku.

The Twitch Plays Pokemon people have invented their own religion. Bird Jesus, have mercy on our souls.

I meant how the Helix religion started. Now I now but I wonder how and why they got the Helix fossil as the first item listed.

It was one of the first items they got(The Trolls wanted the Dome Fossil Though, so they kept spamming "Use" on the Helix Fossil)

They've gotten pretty far, according to the update site. How they got past the zone is beyond me, but maybe the collective human spirit prevails, or something like that.

On more personal topics, I have a new found dislike of Gliscor. Granted, I lost because the team I used was unfinished and had questionable synergy, but getting crippled by SubProtectToxic is very frustrating. I'll get over it, though, once I rematch the guy.

[Nordengrund]

Has any of you tried making your own Pokemon region.

I made a region called Renju. It had its own starters and some new evolutions, otherwise I used real Pokemon.

All I have are character concepts, a new Team Rocket led by Meowth, gyms, and the Pokemon league.

Mamosine can solve that problem with two Ice Shard's (and Knock-Off, which is my new fourth-move on it instead of SR)

If I had actually bred my Skarm instead of playing Bravely Default, I would have done a lot better, as I could have replaced both my Ferrothorn and Hippowdon with itself and T-tar.

And here it goes folks, the inevitable ban of PranksterSwag is rolling along the Smogon tracks, although if I am not mistaken this is what Pokemon Online has already done/is implementing.

I don't know (for once) I haven't been playing online for a small bit now. Although in one sense I'm glad it's finally being banned, I don't see why. Gen 5 worked perfectly well with the combo, and it'll just mean they swap to another, just as annoying move (ie Flatter).

[Interania]

Ah no, I was mistaken in my shortage. They are banning PranksterSwag.

What a ridiculous lie. The helix fossil is the god of anarchy; of degeneracy, lies, confusion, disorder and madness. He crushed the dreams of Eevee, who only wished to be a Vaporeon and help Red in his quest to be a master, and then deceived the masses into believing Flareon to be a "false prophet". Flareon is a fallen hero, the Martyr of Democracy. Democracy is the true path to victory, the sweet gift of Lord Dome Fossil.

Democracy got that game nowhere, Anarchy is the true path to victory.
