Cooperative gaming taken to a whole new level
So that wholeTwitch Plays Pokemon thing? It’s been viewed over 7.5 million times already. At present there’s 75,000 concurrent users watching, and “the total number of unique Twitch members who have participated via chat is more than quadruple that amount,” according to thisTwitch blog update.
In case you missed it, a Twitch channel has been setup so your commands via the chat input controls what’s happening inPokemon Red/Blue. That’s 75,000 people going absolutely nowhere right now because they’re stuck in that one room with the directional pads (see the screenshot). Still, it’s pretty nuts.

There’s aGoogle Docchronicling all of the major events that have taken place so far. Plus aton of memeshave popped up for those of you that really are into this whole thing. My favorite isthis Twitch channelthat’s applying the chat input for thePokemonstream to thisgame ofTetris.
