It's faster to just go to the specialized site instead of finding the template image in your computer (or downloading it if you don't have a folder for this stuff already), add the text and then upload it somewhere.

They're in the last gym now.
There are holes on the second floor, and pits of lava on the bottom one. No fences or anything. This gym is ridiculousky unsafe. How did the league authorize this?
also, some kid is spamming nudes of some Helen girlout of butthurt for being dumped as "revenge". I've blocked it because it's highly likely Helen is a highschooler and they've recently tightened the child porn laws in huehueland. I don't think the deputy will appreciate it when I tell him that someone linked the pictures to me in a chatroom where people played Pokémon.
Nice try, FBI.

Leader battle.
Clair's Dragonair one-hits HootHoot with a slam, then level 5 Smoochum (yes, this thing didn't get a single level since being born back then while they were still trying to get the third badge) tries to confuse the level 37 dragon with Swagger. Swagger is an attack that doubles the target's Attack while confusing him, presumably so he gets hurt more while hitting himself. But if that doesn't happen, you just upped your opponent's attack for him, so it's very risky. None of this is relevant since Smoochum misses, and Dragonair slams into her baby-sized body with gusto. It'll take more than a few trips to the pokecenter to fix all those broken bones.
The Gator arrives to avenge the fallen like usual and sends the dragon into yellow health with Cut, but gets paralyzed with a Thunder Wave for his trouble. Gator is withdrawn and Brian the Average Pidgeot is out. This regular bird that is definitely not messianic in any way takes a Dragon Rage (fixed 40 damage, one third of his health) to the beak before he can start spamming Fly, killing the first Dragonair and maiming the second. One thunderbolt sends Brian into red health, but the Fly spam continues and the second Dragonair is down. Third one out, this one gets and ice beam on the bird, killing it. Gator out, eats one dragon breath and then kills the Dragonair with Surf. Kingdra shows up and opens with Surf, which doesn't do much against the Gator. Maybe he's just trying to show off for the other aquatic lizard?
The Gator uses Scratch (why the fuck do they still have this?), taking a sliver of health from the giant seahorse (who is totally a dragon, srsly). Kingdra makes a very disproportionate retribution with Hyper Beam, severely damaging the Gator. This apparently pisses him off enough to use Rage. A second Hyper Beam boosts's Rage's power, and now both are in yellow health. Jaden is uninterested in the epic battle unfolding before him and analyzes the master ball instead. Without guidance, Gator panics and starts to spam Surf, which isn't enough to finish the pseudo-dragon off.
After a few turns with Kingdra's health in the red, Clair gets bored and uses an Hyper Potion, completely restoring Kingdra's health. The fight turns into an ugly slugging match where both take tiny bits of health from each other for a while, but Gator is paralyzed and therefore in a severe disadvantage, and to top it off some smokescreens from Kingdra have reduced his accuracy to shit. Two Hyper Beams later and he's down. Jaden is booted out of the building.
Looks like Lazorgator isn't the hottest stuff in these parts anymore.

edit: They got her on the second try. Best moments include Shuckle using encore to convince the first Dragonair to spam Slam on him (maybe a good idea since Dragon Breath's fixed damage would ignore Shuckle's beastly defense), Espeon spamming tail whip on the second Dragonair and still causing mediocre damage with bites, and Gator taking only 30 points of damage from a thunderbolt from the third Dragonair. Kingdra was easily bested this time as Gator didn't waste time using surf on him and Brian was still alive to finish the job with Fly.
But like Whitney, Clair is a big baby and won't give them the badge right away. While Whitney only requires you to talk to her a second time (after she's done crying), Clair demands you take some bullshit dragon test on a nearby cave. On the plus side, if they score 100% on the test, they can get a Dratini with ExtremeSpeed. On the bad side, that's unlikely to happen unless they do the test on democracy mode.
-
Questioning Clair further gives us this bit of unwarranted smugness:
Yes Clair, it is too fucking much. Just give us the damn badge like your job requires you to. I understand Whitney being an emotional trainwreck but you are a grown woman, ffs.

We got the Dratini, and her name is KT - Katie.
No Extremespeed though.

Clair is such a little whiny bitch. Proof she needs to just stay in the kitchen.

Sent back to Blackthorn when the party wiped within spitting distance of the Mt. Silver/Victory Road crossroads - Lazorgator was defeated by some Trainer's Pikachu. Now we'll have to do the 2-hour trek again.
I blame the new lottery system!

The Gator can't even take some shitty Magnemites or Pikachus. This team will be so fucking REKT by Battery Jesus.
Got at least one question wrong, then. Extremespeed is only on her moveset if thou art virtuous enough.

They've been trying the Elite Four for a while.
Latest attempt below. Read from the bottom.
They've also managed to waste all 99 of their pokeballs.

Doesn't feel too good being on this side of the battle..

We got through the 2nd Gen FAST.
Compare that to the first game where we needed 16 days. Though, do we also play through Kanto afterwards?
Edit: And I'm tuning in on the first defeat of Bruno.

I only became aware of this yesterday. Awesome stuff. I have not laughed so hard since I can't remember when.
I tried watching the stream a bit too, but my internet connection was having its period and the video wouldn't load.
Is there some document on the net with a detailed history of the original run? Not that I underestimate the efforts to bring everyone up to date in this thread, mind you.
EDIT:
Never mind, found it.

Too bad they won't be able to continue this throughout the series. DS's touchscreen is too much for this interface. But they should be able to at least finish gen. 3, theoretically.

IIRC correctly you didn't HAVE to use the touchscreen in gen4 and 5. Y would send the controls to the lower screen.
That said, I'm not sure Nintendo would allow the DS games.
Maybe I remember it wrong, but I think you have to use them at the beginning of the game, when you are taught the touchscreen controls in the first place.
But yeah, technical problems aside, Nintendo could easily can everything, I guess..

They better go through Kanto. That's the other half of the game.
Always loved that about gen 2.

Gen 3 should be easily playable, though.

I'm kind of surprised Nintendo hasn't shut this down. They've obviously heard of it by now, and they've been quick to come down on LPers recently, and the guy running the stream even admits to using an emulator and Nintendo fucking hates those, and yet they haven't done anything to get the stream taken down (unless they sent a letter or something to twitch and were told to fuck off).
I wouldn't be quick to assume they just want to avoid pissing people off, either, because modern Nintendo thinks of its fanbase about as highly as the Codex thinks of biodrones or oblivion fanboys.

Pokemon doesn't need the publicity, but they're probably willing to let it go unless the stream gets to the DS games. There's a FAQ on Reddit explaining the streamer explained he got the rom from Vizzed, a popular emulator site that uses a "we own copies of the games available here, yolo" argument to stay up, so he can probably use that (the viewers don't get their own rom to play with).

That whole "if you own a copy of the game you can download the ROM" thing is actually a myth, at least by US copyright law.

I realize Nintendo might be a tad bit bias about this, so here's another source:

Of course, I'm pretty sure the guy running the stream lives in Australia or something so I have no idea what the law is there. But since twitch is based in the US (at least I'm pretty sure they are) and have to comply with US copyright law, they'd probably have take the stream down if Nintendo asked, despite how popular it's become.

Apparently archive.org is offering roms (most prominently the MAME, MESS and TOSEC) without problems due to a set of clarifications and exemptions about abandonware they received from the US Copyright Office.

It would be pretty dumb for Nintendon't (yeah) to do this now. They could wait a couple of weeks until no one cares anymore. Well, "care".. Hmm.. yup..

Even with the DS games I highly doubt Nintendo would do anything. They literally can't afford negative press.
