You all remember Twitch Plays Pokemon, right? The hilarious self proclaimed social experiment, which saw hundreds of thousands of people come together on Twitch to try to collectively finish a hacked ROM of Pokemon Red, rose to stardom in February last year; since then, Twitch Plays Pokemon has covered each release in the Pokemon series, but now, to celebrate its first anniversary, it is going back to the game that started it all: Pokemon Red.

Yep, thousands of viewers are coming together on Twitch yet again to see Pokemon Red through to completion. It’s already been a hilarious run, but there is more to it than just fan reaction and engagement- to complete this run.

Players will have to catch all 151 Pokemon in the game, including Mew (the ROM has been hacked to make them all available). Whether or not Twitch accomplishes this remains to be seen, but it won’t be the first time Twitch Plays Pokemon surprises everyone.

If you’ve heard of Twitch Plays Pokemon, then you know it involves a ton of Twitch users essentially implementing commands and playing the original Pokemon together. It was a hilarious experiment that continues to this day with the community having finished Pokemon Crystal. But how long will it go on?

According to the creator, an Australian programmer who spoke to Polygon anonymously, “I intend on running the stream for as long as it still has an active following. I was mostly certain they would have succeeded, if not I could have always delayed Emerald or ran them both simultaneously.”

The programmer also addressed the reduced viewership for Crystal compared to Red by saying that, “the novelty wearing off for a lot of people, and it has been reported on less in the media.” There will be some “small tweaks in mind” for the play system with Emerald but unless there’s a significant improvement, don’t expect sweeping changes. A Pokemon FireRed play is also in the works and it will have a randomizer so there’s plenty to look forward.
