Willkürlich: Du kannst jetzt Pokémon Crystal im Twitter-Avatar von jemandem spielen

Twitch Plays Pokémon has a lot to answer for. What began with a goofy experiment to see if the hivemind could actually play an old game has blossomed into an entire genre of gameplay: Playing Pokémon in weird ways, the latest of which is Pokémon inside of a Twitter avatar. If things keep going this way, we’ll be playing Pokémon on a network of fungi by 2030.

Constantin Liétard, the Montreal-based creator of Pokémon Red-inside-a-Twitter-avatar, has just announced that his latest project, Pokémon Crystal-inside-a-Twitter-avatar, is now ready to play. Bist du bereit für ein weiteres brandneues Game Boy-Spiel?, the player character is just about to pick their first starter.

You can join in with the game by commenting on the announcement tweet, which already has hundreds of replies:

Pokémon Rot took Twitter only 40 days to beat, mit über 90,000 comments instructing the player character what to do. Hier ist Hoffnung Pokémon-Kristall can set a new record!
