I Entered a Twitch Plays Pokemon Race

[@RTGame]

If you would like to see more Pokemon: I'm starting a Pokemon Black & White Nuzlocke when this comment is 1 hour old www.twitch.tv/rtgame Gen 5 of Pokemon is the best one ever made and my alltime favourites. It's also some of the hardest Pokemon games ever made. I'm so excited

[@StickMaster500]

And even better was that he TOLD Chat that if they really wanted animations off, they'd have to do it themselves. Absolute madlad

The fact he won even with the disadvantage of both animations on and medium text speed, imagine just how much faster he would be with them off and faster text

[@kevinwong3672]

I mean as much as it is slower, but it does allow RT to steer the wheel better, since chat can do less action. Clearly, RT is pro Chat gamer XD

[@hngldr]

I was gonna say I wonder if that helps chat more with the delay and helps him do more on his turn. As they say, slow is smooth and smooth is fast

[@CR-gh5bp]

More animations means less opportunities for chat to do battle moves, tho l
