@Mikie1600 @phi1997 @katan @VieilOgre @tom @fediplayspokemon As our popularity grows, we will become more resistant to brigading. I'm happy more fans are finding us and joining the voting, even if we're naming a crappy Pokémon "Fart". I think we'll make good progress through the game together, one input per hour. I believe the voting majority will usually want to make progress through the game... when we're not wasting a whole month backtracking because we forgot to talk to Professor Elm, anyway

I appreciate the teamwork, but you shouldn't take this game too seriously. We're basically playing Twitch Plays Pokémon in Democracy mode. The only rule is chaos. Nothing is sacred. If a group of jerks ever brigade us, release all of our battle ready party members, save, and make the game unwinnable, and so be it. If you want a perfect battle team, go play Pokémon Showdown instead.
@Cahatstrophe @Mikie1600 @phi1997 @fediplayspokemon According to this reply, the Portugese-speaking players want to name the Sentret "Peido" or "Fart". I'm OK with this, so I'm helping them now. Please don't be mean to other players unless we know they're acting maliciously.
@fediplayspokemon @tom @VieilOgre @Mikie1600
Oh, you only wanted to spell "fart"? I apologize. We were afraid you were going to give the Sentret a very bad name. I don't like this Sentret anyway. If you want to name it "Peido", I'll help. Have fun!
@brenno @mihira @galahyde Oh, você só queria escrever "peido"? Peço desculpas. Estávamos com medo de que você desse uma péssima reputação ao Sentret. De qualquer forma, não gosto deste Sentret. Se quiser chamar de "Peido", eu ajudo. Divirta-se!
@Mikie1600 @phi1997 @fediplayspokemon
I was OK with naming the Sentret "F" and pressing Start, or just letting "FLOOF" happen. Now I'm just voting B to backspace out all this stuff.

Maybe we're being a little mean to this L2 Sentret, but it's useless to us. If it was smart, it would have run away from the battle. Catching this was a waste of a Poké Ball.

@tom @deoxys314 @fediplayspokemon @pokemon
When we replace this Sentret with a Krabby, name the Krabby "TOMTWO". It'll know Cut, Surf, and Strength!
@Mikie1600 @phi1997 @deoxys314 @fediplayspokemon @pokemon
I think @tom 's name is worth more than this crappy early game Sentret, but I won't stop you from naming him Tom.
@phi1997 @deoxys314 @fediplayspokemon @pokemon
I'd name this Sentret "NEIN". It's a reminder not to use him. At best, he can be our Cut/Surf user until we catch a Krabby.
A Sentret? Let's squash it and keep moving.
@Cahatstrophe @Mikie1600 @pokemon @fediplayspokemon Oh yeah, we don't even get a fishing rod until after we beat the first gym. We can pick up the Old Rod in the Pokémon Center outside Union Cave. If we immediately use the Old Rod when we get it, and we might encounter a Poliwag.
@Mikie1600 @Cahatstrophe @pokemon @fediplayspokemon
Ah, you're right. New Bark Town's map has water on its eastern border, so you can't even get into any encounters without the Surf HM. I forget if Gold and Silver have any encounter table shenanigans that let us get into a wild Pokémon encounter here.
@Mikie1600 @Cahatstrophe @pokemon @fediplayspokemon Actually, if we go right from the starting town, is it possible to encounter any mid-level water Pokémon early? I don't know what the speedrun community thinks about that.
@pokemon @fediplayspokemon
We're gonna make it back to Prof. Elm! Let's not forget to actually talk to him this time.

Today separates the noobs from the pros. I saw the trap coming after three turns and I was powerless to avoid it. Even abusing my research and my tier list to the max the whole time, it still came down to a 50/50 crapshoot to keep my streak alive.
There's been a number of people asking for a better way to discuss strategy since comments are hard to find, so a group was created and if you tag @fediplayspokemon in your comment it should boost your post to a common feed that you can follow
@pokemon
I could say we already went to the house up here a month ago, but most people wouldn't see that. At this point, it's faster to go there again and show that there's nothing to do there. Maybe they'll let us go back and talk to Professor Elm so we can advance the plot and get Poke Balls.
@phi1997 @tom @pokemon
Oh no, you're right! We've already been to Mr. Pokemon and we already got the Mystery Egg last month! We fought our rival and then named him Butt. We backtracked all the way back to the lab but we forgot to actually talk to Professor Elm! We're stuck until we backtrack and talk to Professor Elm! Oh man, we've got to get a better way to talk strategy among ourselves.
