[[Twitch Plays Pokémon|Twitch Plays Pokémon’s]] original run of 10 games starting at {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}} and ending with {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby}} came to be known collectively as the first season.


Each run is the equivalent to a season episode, and can be referred to by number (i.e. S01R03).  Timestamps mentioned in this article follow the format of "#d #h #m #s" (day, hour, minute, second).

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 [[spin tile]] 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 were 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.

Unlike Pokémon Red and Pokémon Crystal, Pokémon Emerald is being played in high definition and is not a modded version of the game. Also, democracy mode was completely disabled, with pure anarchy enabled, making the game more akin to the first half of the Red run. Furthermore, the bottom of the screen now permanently displays each Pokémon the player has in the [[party]], including [[level]]s and percentage of [[HP]] remaining. This display also reflects the order of the party whenever the party is being viewed in-game. The L and R buttons are also available as command options, since Pokémon Emerald is a [[Game Boy Advance]] game.

At 6d 8h, it appears as if, while still in anarchy mode, players could now link multiple commands at once (termed as "combinations"/"combos"); unlike democracy mode, where linked commands were done in sequence, these linked commands are considered to be buttons pressed at the same frame in the game. The input of a combination in the chat consists of two commands divided by "+" signs (such as "B+Left", which would make the player run to the left). Also, Select was enabled, with Start disabled. At 6d 9h, Start was temporarily enabled for several minutes, before a new system was enacted, enabling Select again (without Start). Start and Select are alternatively available once each per minute.

In this randomizer, the possible wild and Trainers' Pokémon in an area, their [[Level Up]] moves, their Abilities, and their held Items are all randomly pre-determined.

At 3d 19h 45m, colors were added to usernames in the box showing the commands being entered. Each color represents what game the user first participated in: white is for Pokémon Red, purple is for Pokémon Crystal, green is for Pokémon Emerald, and orange is for Pokémon FireRed.

In order to use the touch screen, players can enter inputs as coordinates in a (x,y) format. The coordinates can range from (1,1) to (256,192). Since this is a DS game, X and Y are now enabled as commands; START and SELECT are disabled.

In addition to the colors introduced during the Pokémon FireRed run (for the usernames in the box where the commands are being entered), gray was introduced for users who first participated in Pokémon Platinum. The team display also now shows the amount of Badges and money earned, as well as the both the total numbers of [[Pokémon species]] caught and seen. It also displays the moves, gender, and some [[status condition]]s of the current Pokémon in the party.

As opposed to past games, only one frame of B instead of three is needed to cancel evolution, making evolution much more difficult. Also, occasionally (often on raining routes), the screen glitches up so that the player character is surrounded by a black square(s).
