''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' (''TPP'') is a series of social experiments in which commands representing buttons on an original Nintendo DS (up, down, left, right, A, B, X, Y, L, R, start, and select) and touchscreen coordinates are entered into a chat on Website/{{Twitch}}, and then translated into a game of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' via an IRC bot. In short, [[HilarityEnsues hundreds of people are fighting over a controller]]. Throughout its life, ''Twitch Plays Pokémon'' has spawned hilarious characters, memorable moments, and even a few religions.
''Twitch Plays Pokémon Inverse White 2'' is the twelfth and final run of the stream's tenth season, which began on January 3rd, 2024, and ended on January 12th, 2024. It served as a direct sequel to the ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonInverseWhite Inverse White]]'' run, beginning about a day after the latter concluded, and making several references to its protagonist through the use of the Memory Link feature. Just like its predecessor, it also featured "inverted" type matchups, meaning all type resistances and immunities became weaknesses instead, and vice-versa.
While ''Inverse White 2'', like previous Inverse runs, features a mostly unaltered version of ''VideoGame/PokemonWhite2'', it did feature several extra deviations from the base game. Along with reprising the disabled releases and custom C-Gear skins from ''Inverse White'', it also swapped around which of Curtis or Yancy is met by which player character during the story, altered a few Breeders to become a MirrorBoss and an ObviousRulePatch respectively, and notably became one of the runs with [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo the most battles against previous Hosts available to date]], coming only behind the two ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonChattyCrystal Chatty Crystal]]'' runs.

!!''Twitch Plays Pokémon Inverse White 2'' contains examples of:
* CurbStompBattle: The battle against Champion Iris ended up being absurdly one-sided, as Cinccino was able to defeat all six of her Pokémon with a single attack, without taking any damage itself.[[note]]The exception was Iris' Lapras, which it initially failed to take down with U-Turn, but then managed to defeat with a single Tail Slap upon switching back in, even after Lapras had healed itself almost to full health.[[/note]] This was due to a combination of Cinccino having surprisingly reasonable speed, being slightly overleveled, and having multi-strike moves that were super-effective against five out of Iris' six Pokémon, which thanks to its Skill Link ability each had an effective base power of ''125''. This is notably only the second main run in which ''TPP'' was able to defeat the Pokémon League on their first try (with the other being the highly unbalanced ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonResolute Resolute]]'').
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: RED from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletRed'' used the Trainer class "Red" in his battle, leading to his name showing up as "Red RED".
* EverybodyLives: Following up on the [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonInverseWhite previous run]], this trope was {{enforced}} by once again having releases disabled. However, a few Pokémon were still able to be sent away, [[LoopholeAbuse through the use of the daily trades to Yancy]].
* GenderFlip: A variation. The owner of the lost Xtransceiver found in Nimbasa City is normally determined to be Yancy if the player picked a male character, and Curtis if they picked a female character. However, a patch applied to ''Inverse White 2'' inverts this, and thus the Xtransceiver belonged to Yancy despite the Voices picking a female Host.
* GenkiGirl: BOH LE's Trainer Card seems to hint at this, as the quote on it states "I love '''💠HAPPY💠'''! I love '''''THANK YOU!''''', too!"
* TheGunslinger: [=ghycICEIV=] the Cinccino was widely perceived as this by players due to its use of multi-strike moves that notably included Bullet Seed, even being referred to as "Gunccino" and receiving several pieces of fanart depicting it wielding a gun of some sort. This also more broadly applied to BOH LE herself, as her choice of Pokémon besides Cinccino also included a Cloyster named "Gungir" with a similar affinity for multi-strike moves, or an Octillery named "WAR" with the Sniper ability.
** Following the run, both Cinccino wielding a handgun and Cloyster holding a speargun were [[AscendedMeme added as stickers on the stream's official Discord server]].
* MirrorBoss: After beating the Pokémon league for the first time, Breeder Irene, an infamous rematchable Trainer found on Route 4, was modified to use whatever team BOH LE herself last entered into the the Hall of Fame.
** This also unintentionally applied to Gentleman Kavan, a Trainer from the Battle Institute, due to him and Irene sharing the same internal Trainer ID.
* ObviousRulePatch: Obtaining the Permit to access the Nature Preserve, which was needed to complete the run, requires seeing every Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex. To help out with this, Breeder Addison's team was changed to consist of Snivy, Buneary, Vullaby, and Mandibuzz, all Pokémon that couldn't be seen elsewhere.
* OldSaveBonus: The Memory Link feature allowed some elements to carry over from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonInverseWhite Inverse White]]'', such has unlocking a set of flashback that referenced the Host of said run by name, or receiving their old set of Musical props.
* PaletteSwap: As was by that point the norm for "inverted" runs, the type icons and Gym Badges in the overlay had their colors inverted to reflect the run's gimmick.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo:
** Through the use of the Memory Link feature, the main character from [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonInverseWhite the previous run]] was seen in multiple flashbacks throughout the run, as well as mentioned by some [=NPC=]s.
** The five PWT tournaments featuring previous Hosts that were featured in ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonWhite2 Randomized White 2]]'' and ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVoltWhite2Redux Volt White 2 Redux]]'' were once more made available, featuring the same selection of previous player characters. Later, a sixth one was added, titled the "Nameless Wind Tournament" and featuring [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVictoryFire B]], [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonResolute OONAt]], [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonMegaPower iii22MT]], and [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonNameless CHRONYA]].
** After beating the game a first time, three different Host from previous runs could be found scattered around Unova as [=NPCs=] and challenged to a battle: . from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonInversePlatinum Inverse Platinum]]'' as a Veteran in the Cave of Being, QZO from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonInverseWhite Inverse White]]'' as a regular Pokémon Trainer in Rumination Field, and Jd from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBlackAndWhite3Genesis Black & White 3: Genesis]]'' as an Ace Trainer inside Wellspring Cave. QZO was fought in a Double Battle, while the other two were faced in Single Battles.
** Deep into the Nature Preserve, BOH LE encountered and battled against [=44X N Y=], the protagonist from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonVoltWhite2Redux Volt White 2 Redux]]''.
** In the last few days of the run, the members of the Pokémon League were replaced by the protagonists of ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonTheGauntlet'': Grimsley by RED from ''Gauntlet Red'', Marshall by [=dá´¾k=] from ''Gauntlet Crystal'', Shauntal by n from ''Gauntlet Emerald'', Caitlin by .iecbw from ''Gauntlet Platinum'', and Iris by [=♀♀R=] from ''Gauntlet Black 2''.
** Inside the Game Freak office of Castelia City, ZZZZZZZ from the ''[=PokéSus2=]'' intermission was present in lieu of Morimoto. Of course, his Pokémon used their regular sprites rather than the undistinguishable [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/amogus AMOGUS]]-themed ones from his game of origin; although his original Trainer sprite still appeared in the [=DexNav=].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
** Right after Team Plasma attacked and froze over Opelucid City, and being asked by Drayden to follow him so they could drive them away, BOH LE just stood there for a moment... [[https://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon/clip/CourteousStrongWhaleCharlieBitMe-iLoos7ue0SeQPDAc and then calmly went the opposite way, back inside the Gym]].
** After Darmanitan was knocked out by White Kyurem, BOH LE decided to just give up and flee the battle, though as she started to step away she quickly turned back and challenged it again.
* TheUnfought: While all four PWT tournaments from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonWhite2 Randomized White 2]]'' featuring [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo previous Hosts]] were made available, BOH LE only entered "The Battle of the Hacks!", leaving the participants of "TPP Anniversary Challenge", "Randomizer Roundup" and "Unova Champion's Challenge" unseen.
* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: Because of the inverted type mechanics, several of the [[PuzzleBoss scripted battles]] of the Pokéstar Studios movies became impossible to obtain a good ending for, due to requiring a specific set of actions that assumed regular type effectivenesses. A notable example was the very first movie available, "Brycen-Man": obtaining a good ending requires the player to taunt the opponent into using Faint Attack on their Riolu, then using a super-effective move to defeat them. However, the inverted type matchups meant that Faint Attack would actually be super effective on Riolu rather than not very effective, instantly knocking it out without giving it a chance to fight back. Meanwhile, getting the opponent to use a move other than Faint Attack involved flubbing a line, thus resulting in a bad ending anyway. In other words, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption the movie ended up being a flop no matter what]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Due to having already used Emboar during a large chunk of the [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonInverseWhite previous run]], the Voices opted to deposit their starter Tepig, a mere 23 minutes after having first obtained it.
