Its crazy how an original idea such as this would have catapulted the career of the creator but he's a social hermit lol.

@Hydrec do we know if the creator made money off the stream? He deserved it I hope he did. Were subs even a thing back then?

@@IntensePeppers He did. As even in this video he mentioned having money saved from the streams thanking TPPs support for his financial struggles.

Now they ban people for saying simp

Pretty sure its infinite, not million. Give a million monkeys a million typewriters and you’ll get a million indecipherable messes.

In this case, it was a million monkeys on a single typewriter

while maybe true, after the first run the TPP community downsized to a tight knit group mainly over on the subreddit. it wasn't a big thing anymore, but we all still enjoyed creating lore and fan art for the 20+ runs held after Red. Sidenote but I always feel the need to brag about how, after Pokemon X had been defeated, the streamer opened up wifi communications and allowed players to trade/battle with the stream. I got to battle the stream once and also trade for a level 12 oddish! I still have him to this day

@@granndkane I assumed it was more than that, but I stopped following the community after like anniversary crystal and didn't wanna speak on what I didnt participate in!

@@oskarsodergren7033 that's dope, keep that oddish safe

Yeah it would have been more popular if the stream went from after they beat the game. And then heard nothing for 6 months. Before making a bug return.

Not only tried, but as far as I know, they actually played through and completed all mainline Pokémon games at the time

imagine thinking people trying to dox you and make you lose your kid is a reasonable response to fucking with a game of pokemon lol

@@NinjaBlue64 I justify nobody’s actions on that. Just commenting that it’s pretty foolish in the internet age to pull something like that on a community that size and be shocked that people were pissed off.

Huh? For messing with a video game why would he think people would dox him and try to call protective services on him? I think he definitely expected people to be “mad” as you say. But literally people trying destroy aspects of his life over it? Why the fuck would he expect that?? What you are saying to me is the equivalent of telling someone to fuck off and them pulling out a gun and trying to murder you over that..... While you’re in the background going “well man ya told him to fuck off how did you not expect him to try and murder you?!?!?”

@@boshamburger123 It's absolutely super overkill that they did that to him. That being said, things like that *do* happen for even pettier reasons, so yes, he should have known better than to be an antagonist to a mob on the internet. If you antagonize a huge group of fans of one sports team at an event or at a bar, you just might get your shit kicked in. Still petty, but still happens.

Seriously. He tried to ruin the fun (and work) of thousands of people "for the lulz." The backlash that he received was equally ridiculous given the context, but did he expect people to just sit back and take it?

SAME LMFAO

Did not expect to see a hippy dippy round table in this Gamerfrommars Pokémon video

Yeah it still hurts man

Not surprised considering he's evil.

He's always been snakey I'm not surprised at all

A guy who was molded by being a toxic internet troll. Somehow not understanding how toxic the internet can be if you purposefully waste their time for fun.

I love how he was trying to play the victim. "Oh people send me all this hate just because I tried to ruin something they loved", lmao this Destiny guy is human trash.

The dude who cant cook a piece of chicken... telling other how to act... Is just a manchild that cant feed himself

Yeah, this Destiny guy is big piece of crap. It makes me wonder how he can still have people follow him...

Lol you guys really think trolling a game deserves getting death threats, doxxing, SWAT teams?

Truly the biggest dig

Digrat was literally severus snape

YES

Thanks for pointing it out.

Nah, best moment was in Fire-Red when Lance had a Poison type team.

Still can’t believe the streamer edited his team wish they kept the levels tho and the nicknames

I was there when Lazergator took out Red's last Pokemon, it was insane, crazy how it's now an 8 year old project

Humans can be great at storytelling. How would you think of "anarchy vs democracy" from a meta narrative lens?

@@vez3834 I've got a decent explanation for the whole Anarchy Vs Democracy thing. It's basically what side the Voices are following, the way of the Dome or the way of the Helix.

Year late but a lot of fan art I've seen depicts Red as possessed during this makes it a bit darker which I love.

It's realistic how it took days to do the whole thing.

Gamers rise up

It is known as "good ai" where the ai will utilize type advantage. The problem is that the good ai doesn't know the difference between a damaging move and a stat boost move so it'll spam that. I believe the E4 members have good ai and rival too. Some trainers (definitely not all) and some gym leaders have it too iirc.

As well as enemy trainers having infinite PP, so Venomoth taking a lot of turns to deal enough damage was irrelevant. Gen 3 was when enemy trainers had actual PP to worry about.

Their challenges great. Their journey painfully long, their victory sweeter than rare candy.

Are you the streamer?

yes

Yes, this is what I would call very good research

Isn't the Helix Fossil a key item? Therefore being immune to any methods of disposal? I believe that was the sole reason for it to rise to the top of the inventory, as all the other items got thrown out.

i dont think trolling a twitch chat experiment is a kin to trying to come after somebodies livelihood or child.

@@BlackReaperGames destiny gets hated for trying to ruin everyone's fun. But he definitely did not deserve to have his life be ruined. Deserved to be hated? Sure. Deserve to have his life ruined? No.

People like Destiny were also part of the social experiment. It wasn't like TPP was this event of just bunch of people in unison trying to beat the game until Destiny came to ruin it. It was a war of attrition between the trolls and the people trying to actually beat the game, since day 1, and seeing who would win and how long it would take was big part of the experiment. Fact that it could be trolled was what made it interesting.

@@BlackReaperGames He definitely didn’t deserve to have his family attacked and life ruined, but Destiny literally set out with the exact purpose to ruin the efforts of over a million people. The threats were probably meant to deter other people from trying that. Then add to the fact that he tried to play the victim after he specifically went out of his way to attack others and even announced this proudly on his stream.

@@harrymillar4193 that's a nice conclusion to the social experiment then. So humans can only work together by threatening those who don't fall in line.

The AI in gen1 has a flaw, Dragonite kept using Barrier because it's a Psychic-type move against the Poison-type Venomoth

I started watching this for the express reason of witnessing the glory of ATV once again. Are you saying he doesn’t cover it?!?!?!?

@@TriforceChad he does, dunno what the original comment is talking about

@@williammurtagh3046 he briefly mentions it, but he didn't really make it clear what a big deal it was and how it happened. It was one of TPPs peak moments and could have deserved a few more seconds in this documentary

@@TriforceChad atv dragon slayer is the only thing I got to witness live

He's like "people trying to ruin my life after I tried to ruin theirs, that's weird???" Destiny sounds like somebody that never got punched for what they think is a "good idea"

@@ExeErdna If your life consists of twitch plays pokemon, then you are pathetic mate.

@@kloakheesten You don't see the irony in your comment?

@@kloakheesten Very eventful life for you to spend time comments and videos you could ignore. You are pathetic, mate.

@@ExeErdna No I don't see how commenting something that took what 15 seconds to write is comparable to having your life destroyed because someone trolled tpp. Maybe I'm the crazy one but those don't seem alike.

I was in my college dining hall. I screamed.

there was a story on reddit once how someone as a child couldn't beat brock so gave it to the mother. After a while she did beat him with a metapod. It appeared that the ai kept not attacking like that dragonite and the metapod armored up (which was its only move) until it couldn't only attack with the "out of pp attack". Pretty neat to see that AI reacted like that :p

In 2015 I did some digging trying to piece together as much about the first 35 hours of the stream as possible, since this was not recorded (the footage in this video has been recreated). My attention was recently brought back to this whole thing, so I have to ask: do you have any media from the start of the stream, such as screenshots or even clips? Or any interesting things to happen in the game from then? Fingers crossed replying to a two year old post :D

@@jjg27 Hi bro , no I dont sadly , for some reason I found that stream when charmander was selected , the idea was interesting and I kept on following , it was funny and I didnt expect it to blow up the way it did.

@@lvlHive he's not going to fugg you

@@lvlHive Nice strawman argument, could you give us another?

wait what?

@@user-oy7sh9uy2b Ah so basically one of the main things Destiny does is debate people. I know the main things he has gotten in trouble for are racism (the whole burning cross images things), Anti-gay speech (twitch got mad at that one I think) and his rather admant position in being Pro-life/anti-abortion. Basically his main thing these days is arguing politics, and while he is honestly one of the better debaters (I mean in regards to the process, even though I don't agree with him on the majority of topics, He still listens, researches, explains his side and admits when he doesn't know/isn't familiar with a topic, which honestly is something most people don't do. but back to the main point), He tends to be very vocal and fixed in his position, which means he is gonna p*ss of a hell of a lot of people who don't have the same view point. Add that together with his "no holding back" attitude and he royally p*sses off a lot of people. I'm about 99% sure thats why he's lost his twitch partnership. TLDR : He is vocal and argues alot. He can be racist or homophobic at times. He has a habit of really p*ssing off alot of people at once.

@@justanotherhobbit7215 destiny is putting forth arguments against racism and homophobia. Have you actually watched Destiny or do you just watch out of context clips given an erroneous context by his enemies?

@@CuulX he’s been streaming for like a decade. He may be like that now, but he has a reputation from back in the day for a reason.

​@@FizzyCape I'm responding to "He can be racist or homophobic at times." and your say that "he has a reputation from back in the day". So are you saying that "at times" means "in the past"? Because in english that actually means "then and now, occasionally". Not sure what the "homophobic" thing Hobbit refered to but I'm fairly sure it's something not actually homophobic just like the other things he mentioned, which make sense in context.

😂

me too man

seriously, I was bouta go to sleep and he posted this like GODDAMNIT

dude the video literally started at 3 am for me

Sleep? What's that?

Whats “the act that must not be named”? Is it fucking with cats? A wise internet beardy man once told me “don’t fuck with cats”.

I miss Jay Leno but I hate charmander with all my being

Very much agree. So glad he didn't go the Bobby Burns route. Holy shit, Bobby used to just make videos kind of like GFM, just with a more smug tone...

What would he the point of twitch plays pokémon if it was just thousands of people trying to work together? The people who tried to tear it all down contributed to create a really awesome narrative and personally I wouldn’t have it any other way. Also he definitely didn’t deserve to have people trying to hack him for doing something as silly as releasing pokémon.

yo just wondering, if you just wanted to watch a lets play how come you didnt watch any of the thousands on youtube? the point of twitch plays pokemon was the chaos of it, it doesn't make you a "narcissistic ego-centric sociopath" for wanting to stoke some of those flames. if anything, i feel stories like this added to the lore of it all and made it so much more compelling and an interesting story worth telling. honestly, i feel like it speaks more about your sociopathy if you think it's a reasonable reaction to send death threats, doxx, threaten his kid etc for doing what he did because, personally, i absolutely would expect anyone to be surprised people care that much about... chaos in twitch plays pokemon? these comments are the most insane shit i've read in a long time, and it's extremely concerning knowing most of you people aren't kids considering it happened 6 years ago.

Destiny isn’t shocked people were upset. He is shocked people tried doxing him and getting his kid taken

Get help kid

It's a game. Trying to ruin a videogame isn't worth ruining somebody's life for it.

Also I think TPP figured it out on their first try, I was there Or I remember it incorrectly

@@NoMoreGoreForMe No, they got it first try :D

Except when it's not. It's *supposed* to be adjacent to the first, but the puzzle is bugged somewhat and the second switch can always be, if I remember correctly, the top right trash can.

He got multiple Pokemon released though including a few fan favourites. And he did it just because he thought it was funny. He accomplished what he set out to do and has become a permanent mark in this historic story of live streamings history.

Well, I certainly wasn't involved in fossil selection, that's for sure. Only showed up around the time of the next gym victory. Yet there I am at 8:20 :D

Hmm, While I kind of agree, you have to remember that he is making this video in the hopes that it will be enjoyable by all people, not just those who are familiar with the game or were part of the TPP stream. What might carry a sense of overwhelming relief or impact for people familiar with the game or the stream, is simply "oh that used a different colour ball... neat" or "wow.... They moved a square to the right instead of down.... um.... cool?". We understand the meaning behind it so it seems much more important to us, but to people not familiar having less commentary in those moments explaining why it was so important or such an accomplishment would likely leave some people a tad lost or confused to the point. Basically he has to balance : - What was big/important to the people involved. - What is clear enough to show and easy enough to explain/understand to people who aren't familiar. The result is trading off some "big moments" for a clearer, more easily understood story for all.

@@justanotherhobbit7215 The most successful documentaries engage viewers with the story as if they were involved in it at the time. They use pacing and build up to re-create the same emotion as experiencing it live. Not saying that TheGamerFromMars did a poor job, I enjoyed the video, but I think Gandeef is definitely right in that he didn't allow viewers to experience the hype that the original 2014 viewers experience.

Hecc Snek will join in on this, even if it is two years late

at the end of the day it really was just pokemon

@@jamisdue3545 Just take pokemon out of the equation and see. 1000s of people are collectively trying to achieve something for numerous number of hours It's not about the pokemon but the effort they are putting to do something while fighting back against those who trying to make it a fail. Ofcourse people will rage and attack him.

He also tried to, and partly succeded, in ruining Jontrons youtube career, from all i know about this guy he seems like an asshole

@@hunsinger Jon is based and funny. Destiny is cringe and annoying. Simple as

You're insane if you think trying to ruin someone's life is an apt response to them ruining your community pokemon playthrough.

I agree, and it seems people's main arguments are "bRo ItS a GaMe! He shouldn't have his kid(s) taken!!!" So....you're telling me this man has a whole family and instead of spending time with his family hes over here making a gang of shitheads to ruin a community's efforts for no reason other than upsetting people, and then being SURPRISED that theyre upset? Yea dude, you being a known troll or w.e doesn't make you immune to the fury of the internet when u fuck with it

Destiny is a prick and deserves nothing but contempt.

I mean he never tried to dox and shit them so yea hes a bit holier

He got doxed swatted and constant death threats, I would have felt bad for them if they didn't immediately turn around and prove they're even worse people.

chill tf out, it's a video game stream

I remember when we finally made it out of Rock Tunnel, the feeling of relief and happiness. I remember thinking "Maybe this is what it feels like to be into sports, and have the team you're rooting for win". I don't care at all about sports, so I never understand why people turn into maniacs when their team wins, but maybe something like this is what they feel. The personal involvement, the excitement, the pride in having won. Big difference of course is that TPP is ACTUALLY a team effort, you really did participate in the whole thing, by just sitting at home watching, unlike football etc, where your contribution is 0.

they literally didnt do that, they meme'd a fucking twitch chat

He makes/made his living off of live streaming and during one of those live streams he tried to insert some drama into the playthrough. His surprise was for how long after people were obsessively attacking him over it and the amount of time it involves. Trying to dox or hack someone's account takes a lot more out of a person's day than Destiny telling his chat to go try to release some Pokemon.
