To celebrate 10 years of Twitch Playing Pokémon, we've donned our classic look and are playing a "Super Gauntlet" of games in which we intend to visit every mainline Pokémon region. After 10 years, we know these regions by heart. This time, we're playing without emulators. Each run will be played on official Nintendo hardware and displayed on a real CRT TV! Join us as we take a nostalgic look at the Pokémon series throughout the years, as well as experiment with hardware peripherals that some Pokémon games can use.
We continue Season 11 of TPP with our 89th run: Super Gauntlet Black 2 & White 2.
The stream clock time zone is set to UTC. You can use this to calculate your delay.
Looking for our more advanced stream features? Pinball, items, experience points, tokens, meme clips, Pokémon Badges, run emblems, and onstream notifications for donations and subscribers are currently disabled. They'll make a return after the event. Run Emblems and Badges for Pokémon caught during the event will be distributed after it is over.
DISCLAIMER: TwitchPlaysPokemon (TPP) collects and uses some data about your Twitch account so you can play. Find out what data we collect, how we collect it, and what we use it for by reading our privacy statement here.
Chat the name of the button you want to see pressed in-game!
For Nintendo DS, the available buttons are up, down, left, right, a, b, x, y, l, r, start and select.
You can pick a side by typing !left for Black 2 or !right for White 2. If you don't want to pick, you'll be randomly assigned on your first input.
You can switch sides whenever you want.
See our complete rules and guidelines here.
Please read the full rules for the rules that bots must follow in chat.
tppsimulator is an official TPP bot that takes random snippets from chat, puts them together into a message, and posts it into Twitch chat.
Note: Though the stream staff may interact with these community-run sites, they are not operated by the stream staff. They have no influence or control over the resources listed in this section. If you have any issues, please contact the staff running these sites.
Firstly, a huge thanks to our former staff, developers, and anyone else who has contributed to the stream either directly, or indirectly. Thank you for all you've done with your help to maintain and keep the stream running!
If you co-stream Twitch Plays Pokemon during this event, your community can play directly from your channel's chat!
To set up, go live and then say !join in TPP Chat. Our bot will check to make sure your stream is online and then join your channel to process button inputs from it. Any inputs that come from your chat will have your stream icon displayed alongside.
When you go offline, the bot should detect this and leave your chat. If you want to trigger this manually, say !leave in TPP chat.
The TPP input bot will not attempt to moderate your channel or process any messages other than inputs.
Users cannot use this feature to circumvent timeouts or bans from the Twitch Plays Pokemon channel. The bot will simply refuse to process inputs from banned users. If Twitch Plays Pokemon chat is in Slow Mode, the bot will not accept inputs from any channel at a higher rate than TPP chat would allow.
Note: This feature is experimental and may be disabled if it causes any issues.
