I couldn't help drawing this! The Almighty Helix Fossil is all deserving! And I did consult it, first...
Usually, parks are an ideal place to kickback, and nowadays maybe even catch some rare Pokémon; but thus was not the case for Summit1g, a Twitch streamer with 86 million views. The poor guy was literally mid-stream, playing Pokémon GO in this video, when all of a sudden you see the police show up, guns pointing at him, because one of his viewers prank called in on him.
I mean come on dude...According to KKTV, the police were alerted that a man in the park had an 'AK-47 or AR' and that he'd 'planted remote bombs in the park, and wanted to kill cops.
“I offered to give [officers] a little information about what was happening because I kind of knew, considering it happens to other streamers all the time but more in their homes. You get someone’s address and you swat them. I never thought it would happen in a park,” Lazar told KKTV.
Fortunately, everything worked out, and Summit1G was able to explain to the police what was going on. Some final parting words of wisdom regarding all the madness from the man himself:
"It's always got to be some type of dickbag on Twitch," Summit1g said. "Literally all they're doing is making cops waste their resources, and putting people in danger...that guy was pulling an M16 [rifle] out of his trunk...and I still got the f**king Charmander, bitch."
The fish named Grayson Hopper has been playing for around 135 hours. Grayson has even acquired his first Pokémon, a Charmander named AAAABBK, and defeated the rival's Squirtle!
It is one whole year since Twitch Plays Pokemon first started, in celebration Twitch Plays Pokemon will be doing another run of Pokemon Red, this time to complete the Pokedex.
An improved anarchy mode system will be used for the majority of the run. In the few sections where democracy mode might be required a 24 hour countdown timer will be elapsed before democracy mode is enabled, the timer is location specific and will pause if the player leaves the area.
A custom romhack is being used that allows all 151 Pokemon to be captured.
Pokemon Battle Revolution is temporarily suspended during the run of Pokemon Red and will return after the run has concluded.
See all the memes that spawned from last year's TPP playthrough here!
The creator of the stream made Red's team Twitch's original team when they beat the first game. As of right now Twitch still cannot beat their own version of Red.
Last week we highlighted the best thing to ever happen on the internet - The largest crowd-sourced multiplayer game of Pokémon ever! A lot of craziness has happened since and the interwebs are ablaze with the hilarity that has ensued. You can even ask the legendary Helix Fossil for some advice.
