Twitch Plays Pokémon is so 2014 … these days it’s about playing Pokémon Red are someone’s avatar on Twitter.
Yes, we are not kidding – Gameloft Montreal programmer Constantin Liétard (@screenshots) manages to somehow compose a script that then updates its Twitter avatar every 15 seconds and that plays out in the 1996 Game Boy classic.
At the time of writing, there are almost more than eight thousand answers. Not much has been played yet, as the maker has reset the game several times to improve the command input and add a new feature that saves the frames. The story so far is the choice of the beginner bag monster, Squirtle.
While completing a game in this way may seem like an almost impossible task, Twitch starts with Pokémon Red and continues to complete seven seasons of Pokémon games.
We thought 2021 might be a little wild, but we would say that this crazy idea has far exceeded our expectations. Take part in this new experiment on social media. Tell us below.
