History WebVideo / TwitchPlaysPokemonPyrite

''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' (''TPP'') is a series of social experiments in which commands representing buttons on an original Game Boy Color (up, down, left, right, A, B, start, and select) 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.

Due to her name "EWWYPPP" being read as "[[VerbalTic eeeyup]]" and her dedication to [[VideoGameCaringPotential take care of a sick Miltank]], the Host of this run is most often depicted as a rancher cowgirl, taking care of cattle and bare-handedly taming wild Pokémon. Her journey through Johto and Kanto ended with what became the SignatureScene of the run: a battle against [[spoiler:Azure from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary'']], which turned out so challenging that said opponent became the first (and so far only one) that ''TPP'' was [[GodzillaThreshold unable to defeat without the help of Democracy]].

* BrokeTheRatingScale: "[[https://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/wiki/wattsonrank Wattsons]]" are a unit of measurement named after Gym Leader Wattson from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald'', which are intended to measure how much trouble the chat had beating a certain Trainer. 1 Wa is equivalent to 23 attempts, aka the number of attempts needed to defeat Wattson in ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald Emerald]]''; for instance, Clair in ''Pyrite'' took 26 attempts to defeat, thus her granting her a Wattson ranking of 1.13 Wa. [[spoiler:Azure]], however, is not only the highest ranked individual Trainer on the list, but has a Wattson ranking of '''1.57+''', with the + indicating that, because she was only defeated with the help of Democracy, she technically remains undefeated.

* GodzillaThreshold: After a whole day spent trying to defeat [[spoiler:Azure]], with little to no pause between each attempt, the chat was made aware that it had two more attempts left before [[EleventhHourSuperpower Democracy was made available]]. Two more losses later, the chat was actually [[DespairEventHorizon desperate enough]] to activate it.

* LampshadeHanging: Considering that every LegacyBossBattle until now had featured a playable character from a previous run, the opening line from [[spoiler:Azure, the rival from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'',]] is quite appropriate:
--> '''[[spoiler:Azure]]:''' Were you expecting someone else?

* LegacyBossBattle: Following the trend established by ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonFireRed FireRed]]'', ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonHeartGold HeartGold]]'', and ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'', the battle against Red on Mt. Silver has been replaced by a character from a previous run; in this case, it was [[spoiler:Azure, the rival from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary Crystal Anniversary]]'', although her team from that game was replaced with a new one composed of Snorlax, Lapras, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mew]].
