So this is a thing. A bot is rigged up to relay input commands from the Twitch chat to the game, Pokemon. There are ~30k viewers at the moment. I don't know what percentage of them are putting commands into the chat but I've been watching on and off for a little while, and it's somewhat mesmerizing. Apparently they've managed to clear three gyms so far. Oh, and there's about a 20-second chat delay. Of course, there are a bunch of @#%^s constantly spamming "start" so a lot of time is spent in menus and the Pokedex.
At times, it seems like the owner might be taking manual control, but I'm not sure.

They just made it to Lavender Town after several hours in the Flash-less cave. And promptly walked out of it again. This is great, hahaha

I wonder how much money this dude is making. Maintaining 25k+ concurrent viewers for a super long time, and they're at 45k viewers now.

The meta commentary and reddit images are what really makes this amazing. You could practically hear the screams and cheers when Erika was defeated at just a bit over 4 days in

I tried flappy bird precisely twice, realized what it was, and promptly deleted that ****...
Also, I can't wait for the safari zone, lol.

They were up to >50k viewers last night before Erika went down. Took them 3 hours just to get the bush cut down to go face her. I continue to watch like it's a train wreck... in super slow motion. Even now it's at 40k viewers. Truly absurd and hilarious.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
If you want to remove the commands from the chatbox, you can follow the instructions here: http://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/1y2if6/remove_commands_from_chat_even_more_improved/
Makes it a little more readable.

Over 70k concurrent viewers now, and over 6M total views.
Just as Planned.
Not this.

Yeah well, it wouldn't have happened if they hadn't deposited S.S. TICKET, allowing HELIX FOSSIL to run rampant.

The stream owner mentioned that he might use a cheat to disable the step counter if it goes too badly too many times.
92k people as of this writing. They are in the elevator at the Rocket game corner.

Democracy mode seems to be working as intended. Less fun, but certainly more productive.

Used Dig.

How much money is this stream generating? The dude has to be making bank with so many concurrent users, right?
Probably. He seems to be monitoring it frequently so chances are it's worth his time

Logged in today just in time to see the team get ROFLstomped by Sabrina; they made it to her with only Abba Jesus and Cabbage still alive. Kadabra 2-shot Abba Jesus with double crits, and one-shot Cabbage. And it took them a few hours to navigate the warp maze to get to her in the first place. Time to grind? 
I KNEW this trainer dialogue would get some mention!
