Pokémon Twitch Plays is so 2014 … today, it’s all about playing Red Pokémon inside someone’s avatar on Twitter.
Yeah, we’re not kidding – Gameloft Montreal programmer Constantin Liétard (@screenshakes) somehow put together a script that updates his Twitter avatar every 15 seconds, playing the classic Game Boy.
At the time of writing, there are nearly eight thousand responses. Not much has been played out yet, as the creator of the game has reset a few times to add a command prompt and add a new ability that will save the frames. The story so far is the selection of the starting pocket monster, Squirtle.
While ending a game in this way may seem like an almost impossible action, Twitch embarked on its own journey with Pokémon Red and went on to complete seven seasons worth of Pokémon games.
We thought 2021 could be a little wild, but this idea has exceeded our expectations. Will you be taking part in this new test on social media. Tell us below.
