Please explain it to me sad
Twitch is a streaming service that is used to broadcast games. It has a chat so the streamer can interact with the viewers/viewers can interact with each othe
Someone made up a script that takes input from the chat, and it gets translated into a rom playing pokemon red
so in the chat you type b a up down left right and on screen the character will move according to the chat's commands, thus "twitch plays pokemon"
there has been a peak viewership of 120,000 people so a ******** ton of people are typing commands at any given moment, which is why it's taken like 16 days to even make it this far
the helix meme started because the helix fossil (the item that you convert into Omanyte) was the first item in the inventory for a long time, and the chat would go into the inventory all the time and press a
it became a meme where we were consulting the helix fossil to guide us
edit:
this explains the helix thing better and is from the link below:
Deeper in the cave, he was given the choice between the Helix, and Dome Fossils. He chose the Helix Fossil. Red, while constantly stumbling through the menus, often times selects the Helix Fossil, as if he is attempting to consult it for advice. Whenever Red attempted to use it, the phrase “This isn’t the time for that” would appear. It was also unable to be tossed, giving it an immortal status. Because of this, the Helix Fossil was turned into a god of sorts by the fans, praising it whenever good fortunes came their way. Praise Helix and Based Helix are common religious cries among the fans. Naturally, with the Dome Fossil the exact opposite of the Helix Fossil, the Dome Fossil was treated as the devil. If anything that goes against them, it is often times stated to be the doings of the evil Dome Fossil. They made it through Mount Moon, and all the way to Bill, obtaining the S.S. Ticket. Similar to the Helix Fossil, the S.S. Ticket was also consulted on numerous occasions, creating a division between who the true leader of the group is. Most side with Helix, but the Ticket is often praised as well. Just about every key item obtained has received some sort of veneration
any of the other memes just came up because of random stuff that happened during the experience, like we named our starter ABBBBBK) which we trnaslated to abby, we had a ratata named something like JWWWWLNOOOO which we translated to jay leno
i mean there's a whole bunch of memes because of that, and there's been a lot of amazing moments because this is sort of "random" because there's so many people but a lot of people actually want to see it succeed, so somehow we make it to our destinations
the most difficult obstacles are always the ones that would usually be the easiest, like cutting a tree, or making it past ledges
I guess I'm the only one not getting into this animal avatar stuff? Then again, I'm still excited about having an Author Kitten Star, so that's my animal for now.
