This run follows the adventures of "[[TheUnpronounceable ..hnv]]" (interpreted as either "Hannah" or "Envy"), a girl in blue clothes considered by many to be a [[HighlyVisibleNinja colourblind ninja]] due to her tendency to change outfits and climb to unreachable places. Along the way, she encountered multiple Legendary Pokémon, faced against Team Aqua and Magma, attempted to beat the Trick House challenges countless times, and assembled a team comprised of [[EverythingIsBetterWithPenguins an emperor penguin]], [[ElementalPowers a master of the elements]], [[GenderBender a gender-bending arsonist]], [[OneHitPointWonder an ninja master spirit]], [[MadeOfExplodium an exploding dragon]], and [[OlympusMons a flaring flowerhog]].

Throughout its life, ''Twitch Plays Pokémon'' has spawned hilarious characters, memorable moments, and even a few religions.

''Twitch Plays Pokémon Flora Sky'' is the fifth run of Season 5, and the thirty-second run overall, running from October 13th to October 29th of 2018. The game used for this run, ''VideoGame/PokemonFloraSky'', is a well-known heavily altered hack of ''VideoGame/PokemonEmerald'', featuring Pokémon and characters up to [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Generation V]], along with a revamped storyline and a whole new region[[note]]Said region was named "Hoenn" in the original hack, but its name was changed to "Flora" by the TPP devs[[/note]].

This run follows the adventures of "[[TheUnpronounceable ..hnv]]" (interpreted as either "Hannah" or "Envy"), a girl in blue clothes considered by many to be a [[HighlyVisibleNinja colourblind ninja]] due to her tendency to change outfits and climb to unreachable places.

!!''Twitch Plays Pokémon Flora Sky'' contains examples of:

* EpicFail: Hannah suffered her first loss early, against the fourth Trainer in the game... which happened to be [[TheGoomba Youngster Joey]].
* GenderBender: Due to a programming oversight, using a Sun Stone on the team's female Kirlia caused it to evolve into a male Gallade.
* HistoryRepeats:
** This run marks [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald the]] [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonAlphaSapphire fourth]] [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonThetaEmeraldEX time]] the female protagonist is picked for a Hoenn run, with [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonOmegaRuby Artemis]] and [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRisingRuby ébneert]] as the only exceptions.
** The male Kirlia from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPrism'' was expected to be evolved into a Gallade, but evolved into the female-looking Gardevoir instead. Here, the team's female Kirlia was expected to evolve into a Gardevoir, but was evolved into a [[GenderBender male]] Gallade instead.
* JackOfAllTrades: The first host to have absolutely no shared types across her Hall of Fame team.
* LevelGrinding: On Day 2, the chat spent ''seven and a half hours'' grinding Nincada in order to obtain a Shedinja. [[AllForNothing It was deposited shortly after]], although it was soon recovered and made a permanent member of the team.
* MadeOfExplodium: Hannah's Garchomp knows the move [[TakingYouWithMe Explosion]], which the chat obviously tends to trigger ''very'' easily. [[https://clips.twitch.tv/DrabVenomousNeanderthalJKanStyle Even Democracy won't stop it from exploding.]]
* {{Ninja}}: Hannah [[https://i.redd.it/jj4zc9hduds11.png hiding behind walls]], [[https://i.redd.it/a7xr5zymmks11.png climbing to normally unreachable places]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsqw-3qRo8M changing the color of her clothes (due to a palette glitch)]], and regularly attempting to beat the Trick House challenges led to the popular interpretation that she is a ninja. The fact that she dresses entirely in blue makes her more of a HighlyVisibleNinja though.
* NonIndicativeName: Due to the hack changing the species of some of the Pokémon Contest participants but keeping their original nicknames and movesets, one of the Contests featured [[https://i.redd.it/bw20nxdze7v11.png a Pawniard named "Poochy"]].
* OneLetterName: "T" the Linoone, also known as "Mrs. T".
* PlotArmor: By the end of the run, five out of six members[[labelnote:Detail]]Empoleon, Linoone, Shedinja, Garchomp and Shaymin[[/labelnote]] of the team were equipped with Mail, making them impossible to deposit or release. The sole exception was Gallade, who had temporarily left its place to a Larvesta for [[LevelGrinding grinding purposes]].
* TakeThatAudience: After over thirty attempts to beat the Elite 4, the song [[https://clips.twitch.tv/HomelyEndearingPastaMikeHogu "Born to Lose"]] started playing on stream.
