'''Twitch Plays Pokémon''' (often abbreviated to '''TPP''') is a channel that is known for streaming play-throughs of Pokémon games, usually through the use of emulators. It is hosted by game streaming website {{wp|Twitch.tv|Twitch}}. Unlike other channels, where the streamer plays the game for the audience to watch, Twitch Plays Pokémon gives every viewer the chance to participate via the built in chat. The channel went live with a play through of {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}} on February 12, 2014 at 23:16:01 {{wp|Coordinated Universal Time|UTC}}, and received widespread media attention internationally for its chaotic nature and unique concept. The channel is notorious for its fan-generated lore, spawning thousands of stories, images, videos and Internet memes. | '''Twitch Plays Pokémon''' (often abbreviated to '''TPP''') is a channel that is known for streaming play-throughs of Pokémon games, usually through the use of emulators.

When a game is not being played, the channel instead hosts randomly generated [[Pokémon battle]]s with [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] (previously [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]). Players can bet [[Pokémon Dollar]]s on a Red or Blue team via the built in chat, and in later updates could vote for what [[move|moves]] their team’s Pokémon could use. | When a game is not being played, the channel instead hosts randomly generated [[Pokémon battle]]s with [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] (previously [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]).
