Twitch Backseats: Pokemon FireRed Nuzlocke

After years of fending off backseating attempts, Daniel finally decided to invite chat to backseat to their heart's content with a new stream series titled "Twitch Backseats: Pokemon FireRed Nuzlocke." Gameplay was loosely modeled after the traditional Nuzlock challenge, with one important twist: chat was allowed to backseat every other choice in the game. As such, the rules consisted of the following:


 * 1) Permadeath of fainted Pokémon.
 * 2) Nickname every caught Pokémon.
 * 3) No level grinding unless we are in an unplayable state.
 * 4) Any other rules will be followed based on backseating from chat.

In the event that backseating requests contradicted each other, the requests were put up to a vote via a Twitch Poll, allowing chat to fight amongst each other with channel points and bits to settle the issue.

The stream began with no small amount of controversy due to an early backseat request ordering the release of starter pokemon Bulbasaur, named Bulbaroll. Bulbasaur has since become somewhat of an icon amongst chat, and is frequently summoned via the BTTV emotes bulbaTap and BULBAROLL in times of need. Despite the frequent loss of pokemon, chat continues to build emotional attachments with the members of the team, like Cumdip, and once lost they are heavily mourned.
