Hi /vp/, I have a question for you.
Now that this thing is over, how does it feel to know the game you have dedicated so much time can be beaten by randomly pressing any button?

Random mashing pulls up items in battle, clicked on helix fossil (since you can't discard it it was always there).

Well, there were about 80,000 people watching it, and a big part of that amount playing constantly, with a 30 sec lag... I say that's pretty much random if not worse.
And if you're not satisfied, you can still watch this:

Math major here to call you out on your bullshit. Not random because that implies that all buttons have an equal chance of being pressed (and, even with start9 trolling by leddit, the directional/a buttons are fare more functional thus far more likely to be pressed for).

Every game in the universe can be beating by pushing buttons randomly, although in the case of those that require a button to be held for a certain amount of time, the requisite script would be different. It would just take an outrageous amount of time, even for Pokémon, with truly random input.

Same can be said about any J-RPG. The single player adventure in Pokemon has always been easy anyway, no one will dispute this. Most people who dedicate a ton of time to the game play for the post-game. Putting time into EV training and IV breeding for perfect teams.

It will be a community for a while. But I don't think it will be anywhere near as popular as it was these last few weeks. A lot of the attention came from youtubers and gaming websites giving it coverage. Now that the game has been beaten, that hype will die down and the viewers will slowly disappear. Give it a month, it will be below 10,000 and you won't hear about it outside twitch and maybe an occasional /vp/ thread.

Because the RNG stream is at 500-600%, you need to multiply the time. So even though its been running for 275 hours (11.5 days), taking acceleration into account gets you between 57 and 68 days. And they haven't competed it yet.

Just remember this if you try and use RNG as some sort of invalidation of TPP
