Twitch users controlled the character by submitting case-insensitive button names through the chat. Valid commands were A, B, up, down, left, right, and Start; Select previously was valid, but after it was used to [[Soft resetting|soft reset]] the game, it was disabled due to having no other significant functional purpose. Each input in the chat was processed for one frame of gameplay, so the process of canceling [[evolution]] required three consecutive inputs of the B button in anarchy mode.

Originally, players would simply submit buttons and the game would execute as many as possible. However, after players were stuck in the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] for almost 24 hours on the first [[spinner]] puzzle, the host implemented a system where players could choose between anarchy (the original method) and democracy. In democracy mode, players' button presses are instead tallied, and then the most popular is executed; also, players can enter compound and iterative commands (such as "start9" and "upleft"). The "wait" command was also available in democracy mode, in which, when inputted, the player character takes no action until the next non-"wait" command is received. Players could vote to switch between anarchy and democracy by using "democracy" and "anarchy" as if they were buttons. 80% of the votes wer required to switch from anarchy to democracy mode, whilst only 50% of the votes are required to switch from democracy to anarchy mode. The host said that the reason behind the asymmetry is that, with the previous system of requiring 75% of votes for a switch in either direction, it took a smaller majority to disrupt democracy mode than it did to reinstate anarchy mode.

Simple tasks had often become extremely difficult due to the high number of players; players had spent hours trying to teach [[HM]] moves, {{m|cut}} down trees, pass through areas with [[ledge]]s, and reach crucial points in the game.

27 hours after Twitch users defeated Blue in Pokémon Red, {{game|Crystal}} was started, on March 2, 2014. Unlike Red, an entirely new game was started, allowing users to name the [[player character]]: AJDNNW. Currently, the many players have obtained the first [[Badge]] and have hatched the {{pkmn|Egg}} from [[Professor Elm]]'s assistant.
