Guys, stop saying Drowzee has no moves. There's a house where a guy just hands Psychic to you. Go to the house, get the TM, use it and hope to god we don't use it. If we lose it, great, we'll have to either grind with Drowzee and Digrat or catch something and be forced to use the PC.

Exactly. Even if we accidently toss the TM, Drowzee will learn Physic naturally. We will also get Psywave by beating Sabrina.

Team Democracy can't pausa buffer or counter mash at any point, so the Twitch lag (which the majority vote isn't accounting for) is leaving them stuck.

Anyone care to explain this anarchy/democracy thing? I can't watch the stream right now and reading this thread has become confusing :(

Is the system biased towards change or are people really that indecisive?

How it works in practice...


There are about 20-30% who are exclusively team Democracy and likewise about 20-30% who are exclusively team Anarchy. What happens is that when a "party" gains power, is that they lose voting control naturally (those that were voting hard for X, now are in control and they divert their attention to actually moving. Faction Y who WERE spending time controlling, now have to spam back to try and regain power so you see an immediate dip back the other way).

There are enough people left over who want to progress in this game (we'll say "progress-ies") who'll keep the balance at the current party that's necessary for advancement.

ANARCHY and DEMOCRACY modes:

Anarchy: If this is in the lead, then it will go back to the "normal" insane style of movement, where every input goes.

UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, START, START.

Democracy: If this is in the lead (and currently is), then the inputs will be counted up and whichever input has the most counts will make the player do it (every 20 seconds).

Example:
Up: 221
Down: 193
B: 29

Then the player will move Up.

Imagine how tense the elite 4 is going to be if we ever make it that far. It will be the most entertaining elite 4 run of all time. I only hope helix fossil assumes his rightful form as an ancient Pokemon to turn the battle to our favor

Cool, thanks for the explanation!

Unfortunately it sounds like we're still not making any progress :p. Have we consulted the helix yet?

Isn't psy wave really weird set damage?

Yeah. It's basically a more inconsistent Seismic Toss.

Which is still really damn nice on this playthrough. Speaking of which, why the fuck did we toss Seismic Toss. IT KILLS GHOSTS. We could be tossing Ghosts around the moon Charizard style.

Why the fuck do we do anything? By accident

After the ledge incident, the fanbase became paranoid. What other gameplay aspects in this playthrough could be compromised by trolls in the future? One concern is the PC system used to store Pokemon; the same system can also release them, removing them from the game forever. The risk of losing a top Pokemon to the PC due to trolls was too great and would make the game nearly unwinnable, and therefore the steam decided to avoid using the PC unless necessary.

Red progressed through Lavender Town and arrived at Celadon City, where the Twitch channel defeated the Gym Leader for the fourth badge (it took awhile: there was a tree outside and inside the gym!)

At this point in Pokemon Red, the game becomes more nonlinear, which started a debate on what next to do in game. Many pointed out that the party lacked a Pokemon which could learn Surf, a skill, like Cut, which was required to progress in the game much later. Red will eventually earn such a Pokemon which could learn Surf (Lapras) as a part of the plot, who’s a decent combatant too.

Oh well thanks.

I guess in a few days the metagame will involve classes, lol.

I wish this Anarchy and Democracy was implemented before Abby and Jay Leno got released. =/ I think most people are still annoyed at the fact that we didn't get a Charizard on the team.

Anarchy and Democracy

TwitchPlaysPokemon now has two modes, anarchy and democracy.

Anarchy mode is the "old" mode, where everyone's inputs are applied immediately.

Democracy mode is vote-based and has a more sophisticated input system.

In order to switch from one mode to the other, the mode that isn't active needs 75% of votes as indicated by the dotted line, the current percentage of votes is indicated by the black line.

In democracy mode you can compile a sequence of inputs. left2 will move left twice, left2down2 will move left twice and down twice.
