Twitch Dates Pokemon
Hi folks,
The past several months I haven't paid much attention to the TPP community, and when I return this is one of the first things I come across. A dating sim for Twitch Plays Pokemon.
Boy, you guys have been keeping busy.
You can check out the game's webpage and subreddit page for more information and a download of the first part of the game. (the rest is still a work in progress)
I haven't finished playing through Week 1 of this visual novel yet, but what I've seen so far is fantastic. The art is great, the music is great, there's an impressive amount of interesting plot with good pacing and good grammar. (Hey, grammar's nothing to sneeze at-- you'd be surprised how many games fail in that department!) The characters are well-developed and adapted nicely to the school setting they're placed in.
You'll find pokemon from the first two generations of TPP games in there, and no doubt you'll see all the fan-favorite characters. It takes place from the point of view of Burrito the Espeon, a transfer student to the prestigious Twitch Academy.
As a dating sim/visual novel it's mainly about reading and making choices that impact the flow of the storyline (a sort of choose-your-own-adventure/romance novel.) But you'll find the story engaging, witty and fun, packed with plenty of TPP references and nostalgia. What's more, it would be enjoyable even if you're a pokemon fan with no idea about the mythos of Twitch Plays Pokemon.
When I first came across this I laughed and expected it to be at least mildly amusing. I was honestly surprised how good it is and how much I've been enjoying it, though. Is it silly that there's a pokemon dating sim? Of course. And it's also friggin' awesome. I suggest giving it a shot.
P.S. ATV is sexy and you know it
