Nah, B2W2 used a different Pokedex from BW. Its different enough that such a thing would be unnecessary.

It'll probably be randomized anyway, its still the same region essentially.

Meh, I think that it would be too redundant. In B2W2 there was stuff from all the regions popping up all over the place specifically to make it distinct from BW, and iirc the encounter tables were kinda huge. I just feel like there wouldn't be much point to randomizing it.

Yeah, there are like three hundred some pokemon in B2W2 Unova. Unova is also like 1 1/2 times the size it was in BW, what with the western bank and the eastern parts and whatnot. (Sorry if my info is inaccurate, I only know about B2W2 from extensive Bulbapedia research.)

I'm glad they learned their lesson about complete, true, utter, "oh what's that you like our mascot well he's not here BAI" reboots. I mean, even RS had older pokemon scattered around (especially in the Safari Zone!).

Yeah, BW2 Unova has 300 critters in its regional pokedex.

Streamer added a system so on the scrolling commands your name will be in colored text corresponding to what game you first joined the stream and entered commands at. White is Red, because Gen1 didn't have color. Streamer plans to change the Gen1 color to something more appropriate in the next 12 hours.

I'm wondering how it knows that now.

That's actually interesting, but I question it's relevancy. It's not like there's a practical reason to know who joined at what time, other than to divide the fogies from the newbies :P

User names and IP addresses all in a huge database. Then basic cutoff times for first comment by each poster in relation to when each generation was played. For projects like this they'd probably need something like that for ad revenues and individual/unique viewer counts anyway.

At least someone knows who's spamming ascii cocks everywhere.

I wonder if that means, when all is said and done, that the streamer will publish a breakdown of people who issued the most commands.

No. No he won't.

While I'm not entirely sure of all facets of the "social experiment", I'm damn sure Tom made some money.  If he (or any of the project's team) didn't, then internet advertising is bunk.

(this comment is entirely based on being drunk with an advertising and communications major doing an IT degree, about a year ago. There was a plan. With story-boards and everything. If I'm right, well done mate. You owe me a few beers).

We have 24 hours to beat Giovanni's wild ride REDUX before Democracy is reactivated. Also streamer has activated a text to speech program to be amusing. the chat is now full of people saying silly things. Uh... sillier things than usual.

Wow chat is losing it's extraordinarily tenuous grip on reality. And it has never been more fun to spam.

Somewhere along the way, spamming Potato and Watermelon became the hippest thing to do. A new level of hilarity has been reached.
