Jesus christ that thaw close Go bide
better not save [editline]15th February 2014[/editline] 16k viewers I bet the twitch guys are frantically digging out their last reserves of server equipment [editline]15th February 2014[/editline] holy fuck they made it to the pokemon center
[QUOTE=Killuah;43915605]There is some really amazing greater insight about technology, psychology, hive-minds and society in this but I for the love of god can not say what it is. [/QUOTE] if it had a different system (say, it got the last 20 commands, chose the one that appears the most and executed it) i think we could get something out of it more easily
I tuned in and saw the level 16 Raticate and I hoped they were fighting Blue on the SS Anne. no such luck.
We've been in the kitchen for a good 15 minutes and I can't stop fucking laughing
There are 5 places that will cause endless amounts of hilarity: Surge's Gym, Rock Tunnel, Safari Zone, Seafoam Islands and Silph Co. And at the moment, they have Pidgeotto, Bubblebeam Rattata, a normal Rattata and a Charmeleon with Bide and no Ember.
Don't forget "Dig" Rattata now.
well they successfully taught a rattata dig lol
this is the most stressful thing i've ever watched
Whirlwinds whirlwinds everywhere
oh god I just remembered how annoying the low health music is Charmeleon (ABBBBBBK) is dead now and now a lv.9 Rattata is fighting a Lv. 23 Pikachu. wait never mind everyone just died
CAUGHT DROWZEE
They got Drowzee!
Watching them catch Drowzee like a well executed military operation was fucking awesome. Someone needs to get these guys to control a drone for the US military, we'd acheive world peace
Wow. They sent both rattatas to their death fighting a level 21 ekans. edit: nevermind the level 9 one killed it...
Woah, we caught a spearow!

[QUOTE=Konork;43916707]What about Sabrina's Gym?[/QUOTE] Good point. I know, by extension that Giovanni's gym should be included as well, but I kinda doubt they'll make it that far.
fucking kitchen of doom [editline]15th February 2014[/editline] holy shit they just lost on the last battle of ss anne
Oh god they're stuck in that room
Is this actually an experiment on averages or something where seemingly random results have a bias and they eventually get somewhere?
[QUOTE=Jabberwocky;43917992]Is this actually an experiment on averages or something where seemingly random results have a bias and they eventually get somewhere?[/QUOTE] Well it's not completely random. There is some direction amidst all the noise. If you were to make a completely random input program, I doubt it'd get as far as this has.
So they've at least gotten through the SS Anne since they have HM-01. Now they need to teach it to a pokemon and beat Lt. Surge
Jesus Christ, there has to be a way to narrow down who can give suggestions, it's insanity right now :v:
I wonder how well it'd work for whoever made this to have the program take into account the Twitch chat delay, and then have it like tally up how many people said what, and then do the highest said commands first. Might go too slowly, but it might be less chaotic than this.
I always wanted to know what it would be like if thousands of people got together in a huge room and shouted at one person how to play Pokemon Now I know.
[QUOTE=MangoJuice;43918693]I always wanted to know what it would be like if thousands of people got together in a huge room and shouted at one person how to play Pokemon Now I know.[/QUOTE] I would hope after the twenty-third "Red, there's a time and place for everything!" he'd catch on.
[QUOTE=MangoJuice;43918693]I always wanted to know what it would be like if thousands of people got together in a huge room and shouted at one person how to play Pokemon Now I know.[/QUOTE] Imagine a livestream of Game Grumps
Just an update. In two hours and 15 minutes they managed to get Farfetch'd, aka Dux. They still haven't been able to teach anything Cut yet, instead Red is staggering around like a drunk.

This is a fun concept and all, but it gets a little infuriating to watch after a while. I'm getting some sleep
