Twitch Plays Pokemon is a stream that lets you play Pokemon collaboratively with a lot of other people by typing commands into chat.

Pokemon Stadium 2

Pokemon Stadium 2 is set up to play randomly selected teams of Pokemon against each other, viewers can bet on the outcomes of matches and betters can influence the move selector.

Bets are placed during the betting phase before each match is played, during this phase you can place a bet by entering !bet *amount* *team* in chat where team is 'red' or 'blue' and amount is the amount you want to bet, for example: !bet 100 red.

Moves can be selected by entering !move *selection* where selection is 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' or '-', this corresponds to the moves listed under the Pokemon in the sidebar, selecting '-' (the default selection) will result in no influence on the selected move. Example: !move a.

Moves are decided by a weighted random number generator, it is weighted by the total bet amount of all the users who have selected a particular move.

Pokemon are sent out in the order they appear on the overlay (inward to outward).

Everyone starts with 1000 and are prevented from dropping below 100, subscribers are prevented from dropping below 500.

Participation Badge

Next to the names of users in the overlay a number in a square will indicate the first run that the user participated in.

Due to incomplete logs a small amount of users from the Red (1) and X (9) runs don't have their appropriate badge.

Previously, the name was colored to indicate the user's first run, this became increasingly unwieldy as the number of runs increased. Now the color of names is the color the user has selected for their name in chat, users who haven't yet selected a color will show up in white.

Stream delay

There is a delay between buttons being said in chat and their consequence being shown by the stream. For most viewers the delay is 15~40 seconds. You can determine the amount of delay by comparing the UTC clock in-stream to another clock.
