A list of known changes to the ROM are: | |||
<!-- Like Aniv Red, will attempt to keep this in chronological order of encountering, rather than order of discovery/confirmation --> | |||
* New protagonists replace {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}. | |||
* The game begins in [[Kanto]] rather than [[Johto]] and appears to follow Kanto's plotline; for example: | |||
<!-- Can later remove specific examples if there are too many or it becomes obvious enough --> | |||
** The player must enter the [[Viridian City]] Poké Mart where the clerk will automatically talk to them. | |||
** The player will be required to select one of two [[Fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]] in order to traverse the location. | |||
<!-- Can later condense into one bullet point or something like "changes from HGSS are merged in" if it later becomes apparent --> | |||
* [[Viridian Forest]] is restored as its own separate area, after having been removed in the original [[Generation II]] games. | |||
* The [[Coin Case]] appears to be able to hold up to 50,000 [[Coin]]s, and some version of [[Voltorb Flip]] will be playable<!-- perhaps costing coins? judging by how the picture shows 49,985 -->. | |||
The run restores the anarchy/democracy "tug-of-war" system from the first original Red run where voting is allowed at any time; the bar now also displays the current percentage of democracy votes. However, like in later runs, vote inputs are displayed under each side of the bar rather than as part of the main input feed. As in the original, to switch to democracy an 80% supermajority is required, and to switch to anarchy a 51% majority is required (a 49% minority voting for democracy). ProjectRevoTPP, one of the developers, has stated that at least one area will require democracy mode to complete.<!-- Replace with actual area name and description once discovered --> | |||
<!-- Side games | |||
* Pinball (input system currently unknown/non-chat-controlled?/requires tokens/broken?? wait for streamer to wake up & fix it ) | |||
* Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team (single-input democracy ("Congress mode") every ~230 seconds by whispering the tpp bot) | |||
Prior to the main run starting, the streamer also put on Mario Golf (GBC ver.) and a continuation of the TCG save file. | |||
--> | |||
<!-- Interface (merge with side games section? It might also be a good idea to add this as a subsection to all previous runs) | |||
* Chat log is now on the left side and scrolls vertically (donation messages also appear here now) | |||
* Party display is on the left like in Aniv Red (wait until we know what specific stats it shows) | |||
* Pinball side game at bottom left; main game stats (money/badges/Pokedex) to the right of that | |||
* Bottom middle shows horizontally scrolling feed of subreddit pictures, donation records, marioparty247 info, and a subscribe ad | |||
* Bottom right shows PMD Red side game and current democracy inputs | |||

Twitch Plays Pokémon's third season is to begin on February 14, 2016. It is anticipated to be its first 'routine' season, consisting of four runs (after the second season was extended to five runs).
Each run is the equivalent to a season episode, and can be referred to by number (e.g. S01R03). Timestamps mentioned in this article follow the format of "#d #h #m #s" (day, hour, minute, second).
R01: Pokémon Anniversary Crystal
In the same manner as how Season 2 began on the one-year anniversary of the original run, Season 3 is to begin on the original run's two-year anniversary, with a modified version of Pokémon Crystal where all 251 Generation II Pokémon can and will need to be caught to complete the run.
Gameplay changes
Based on confirmed information so far, the game looks to be more ambitious than the previous anniversary run, with the players reportedly beginning the game in Kanto and the game featuring a sophisticated external AI engine.[1] The channel's streamer has stated that over $1,000 has gone towards the development of this game[2], and the development team is known to be larger, including acclaimed creator of the hack Pokémon Brown, Koolboyman.[3]
A list of known changes to the ROM are:
- New protagonists replace Ethan and Kris.
- The game begins in Kanto rather than Johto and appears to follow Kanto's plotline; for example:
- The player must enter the Viridian City Poké Mart where the clerk will automatically talk to them.
- The player will be required to select one of two Fossils in Mt. Moon in order to traverse the location.
- Viridian Forest is restored as its own separate area, after having been removed in the original Generation II games.
- The Coin Case appears to be able to hold up to 50,000 Coins, and some version of Voltorb Flip will be playable.
The run restores the anarchy/democracy "tug-of-war" system from the first original Red run where voting is allowed at any time; the bar now also displays the current percentage of democracy votes. However, like in later runs, vote inputs are displayed under each side of the bar rather than as part of the main input feed. As in the original, to switch to democracy an 80% supermajority is required, and to switch to anarchy a 51% majority is required (a 49% minority voting for democracy). ProjectRevoTPP, one of the developers, has stated that at least one area will require democracy mode to complete.
