Chapters:
Is it just me, or does everyone else think that the voices cause Red to appear to be either drunk or having a stroke to every other Pokemon trainer.

11:36 Day 7: Digrat Dig!
Fun fact: the anarchists released two of their pokemon and then took it out on an innocent eevee, who, despite being the perceived reason for the visit, it was actually caused by the anarchists terrible spending.
Say what you want about dome, but at least he doesnt release others into the wilderness and then blame an innocent child.

More User Perspectives
You either live long enough to be a hero or get blamed for deleting a bunch of pixels on a screen named Abby even though we all know it perfectly could have been jolteon
@Flareon-YoutuberI dunno why I thought of this video, it's been over five years since I've seen it, but the harmonious "The Ledge" has lived in my brain this whole time and I'd just forgotten where I heard it LMAO. Just as fun of a video as I remember :)
@yammmonsterThis whole thing sounds ****ing stupid.
@yetanotherrandomviewerThis is just a bunch of idiots making annoying decisions just to be annoying, I was hoping there would be an interesting story, it's just idiots slamming their keyboards in an effort to stop progress, there is no story or lore.
@JerseyBabe401The nicknames give me so much life.
@imnotgay_butineedthemoney2014, what a time to be alive! I remember reading the Dorkly website every day to see what updates happened in the game...then going to reddit to talk about it/read what others had to day. I remember someone even made both a Helix, AND a Dome subreddit! Good times.
@777hobo777Praise Lord Helix
@zthedragonqueenScrew democracy, praise the anarchy
@hungrytaco3434Still great memories
@JM-mg4elI believe in anarchy and flareon, who was wrongfully condemned to the opposite side
@notagainmanstop468Where's twitch plays Pokemon emerald?
@ChrisNelson1450Lord Helix was Lisan Al-Gaib before Dune was even discussed to be remade
@NIGHTvdjI think about this video a lot even tho it came out a little over half a decade ago
@kvge9627“Pop culture zeitgeist” lost me. Trying way too hard G
@RedBCPride82FLAREON WAS THE VICTIM
@crowiltiziodeltreno41776:17 HOW DARE YOU FLAREON IS THE 2ND BEST EEVEELOUTION OUT OF THE GEN 1 EEVEELOUTIONS
@DippinError360To be Honest I Kinda Now wanna know how Would the same ammout of peoples who did PokemonTwitch if they played Undertale with the Commands with a Bot A Complete Nightmare? (Most Likey But I Would Like to Know)
@Joe-yx1gqThe nicknames were so great haha. Simply beautiful.
@mars.unrealhow did anarchy exactly work? with so many people playing it, there was no way the commands of every single player were executed
@unotwotriquatrethey could have completely avoided spinning hell if they got a poke doll '~'
@redturkeydragon64Tank you!
@hayleykalmer9108Is anyone else a strong believer of Dome and Flareon I mean bro democracy got you through all the hardest puzzles - you literally NEEDED it to progress - and anarchy kept releasing needed pokemon and forgetting important moves. Nah I'm Lord Dome all the way.
@Lev.Is.SleepingI have played this before.....too many trolls.
@Inverted_Starmaybe flareon wasn't evil, but instead was fighting to give red his control back.
@lolthisismyhandlenowthis was absolutely amazing to be a part of live
@phillipfry8141I remember watching this in college during class 😂
@TheManWhoStoodAgainstAll11:50 360 no scope
@caitybranch5405Bro's balls dropped mid vid 1:38
@meekonAnarchy and Digrat was basically that Eric Andre meme of him shooting Hannibal, but with Andre being Anarchy and Digrat being Hannibal.
@Soulraven2735low key this is my least favorite video covering twitch plays Pokémon.
@hypemanDFlareon is NOT BAD
@firebeetlethestagbeetle3901ON POKEMON RED VENOMOTH HAD WEELS?
@firebeetlethestagbeetle390111:31 Ash: 🤪
@SquidPartyDudeI'm crying
@KAIIRU.As a dome fossil fan (All Hail Dark Lord Kabutops), democracy shall reign supreme and Pidgeot's true identity as a false prophet shall be revealed
@Genericuser_2the keeper was also named such because he had been holding the false prophet in check. he had been keeping him in prison, but now that he was destroyed, the keeper was free.
@xavier84623In my head cannon, there are 2 main timelines, the "the world becomes a dumpster fire due to a lack of balance and an afk space lama, causing humans to go extinct and everything is ERASED by the end of hope and the end of dreams." And the one we are on, where Flareon is exiled instead of becoming Vaporeon, allowing for Phancero, (the ghost of one of Flareon and burrito's kids,) to help fix things.
Oh yeah and the fossil Pokemon are jerks.
Edit: 3, now, Flareon is accepted and that timeline is twitch dates Pokemon.
