The Moderators

The Streamer

dekuNukem

dekuNukem / twitch_plays_3ds / 3DStreamer In the early days of Twitch Plays Pokémon, dekuNukem set up his own channel, twitch_plays_3ds, where he demonstrated proof of concept of his rig of a Nintendo 3DS hooked up to a computer, allowing 3DS games to be played over the Internet without need for emulation. Somewhere before or during gen V, Streamer and dekuNukem held backroom negotiations. The two decided that streaming gen VI games would be dekuNukem's responsibility. dekuNukem was subsequently made a mod on the main channel, responsible for banning trolls and spammers whenever Modbot is down. Deku used to be responsible for the actual streaming of Twitch Plays Pokémon to Twitch, but gave up that responsibility following the Alpha Sapphire run due to moving. Deku still moderates the chat, and runs a backup moderation bot in the event the main modbot goes down. A Form You Are Comfortable With: Like Streamer is depicted as an Arceus, dekuNukem is depicted as a Zygarde. This is in part due to the fact Deku joined the Streamer specifically to play Gen 6, where Zygarde was a legendary.

Ascended Fanboy

Divine Intervention: He actually disabled the coordinates for release during X, then re-enabled them in OmegaRuby. Both per the Mob's request. Him stepping in to handle moderation whenever Modbot goes down. When the power temporarily went out at Streamer's house, Deku kept the stream online so people did not think TPP had "Ended."

Establishing Character Moment: Before the start of X proper, he held an ocarina concert, after which he let The Mob run loose in the 3DS's home menu. A video of the concert has been saved here .

Phrase Catcher: Appearances of Deku in chat are always followed by a chorus of "Wow Deku OneHand."

Troll: During the intermission between Black 2 and X, they serenaded The Mob on an ocarina... before rickrolling them. During Omega Ruby, the Mob accidentally turned on the 3DS's camera at the Contest Spectacular. What was the 3DS pointed at? A picture of Rick Astley. After Omega Ruby, he created a program to automate shiny farming in Gen 6 games and streamed it on his personal channel. The poor hosts of this mechanical farming machine? Richard and Arty.



ProjectRevoTPP

ProjectRevoTPP / Revo / EliteAnax Following a statement by the Streamer that he would like to play Battle Revolution if someone were to make it compatible with his software, Reddit user EliteAnax created Project Revolution TPP and created the ProjectRevoTPP account to stream tests of the game. Eventually making the game usable for TPP, he was promoted to Moderator and Battle Revolution replaced Pokemon Stadium 2 for intermission betting. Revo was then tasked with creating a special 151 hack of Pokemon Red, which he did with help from Pigdevil 2010 (Pigu) and a variety of beta testers from the TPP community. The hack would go on to be used for the Anniversary Red run. Currently Revo is the chief hacker for TPP, and also handles the donation system the stream uses. A Form You Are Comfortable With: Like Streamer and Deku before him, Revo is often depicted as a Pokemon in artwork. In his case, a Jirachi. This supposedly comes from the fact he granted the Mob's wish to play Battle Revolution instead of Stadium 2. Thanks to the Randomized Alpha Sapphire run, he is now depicted in at least two other forms: a Ferroseed and a Cacturne.

Ascended Fanboy

Divine Intervention: Became famous during Anniversary Red for providing quick fixes to the various glitches the Mob uncovered. Including fixing the Battle Tent several times in conjecture with Pigu

Mean Boss: Has done this a few times, even once threatening to take the Battle Tent out entirely because it kept having glitches even after being "fixed."

Mr. Fixit: Capable of modifying Pokemon ROMs to do just about anything the stream requires, much like Streamer before him.

Undisclosed Funds: As part of running the donation system, Revo is the only person who actually knows how much money TPP makes. And is not telling.

s_SoNick

s_SoNick After DekuNukem gave up the job of streaming Twitch Plays Pokémon, the Streamer picked s_SoNick as his replacement. Unlike the other members of the Team,SoNick tends to keep a lower profile. A Form You Are Comfortable With: Like the other members of the Team, SoNick is commonly represented by a Pokemon in lore and artwork. A Shaymin is commonly used for this purpose, due to Shaymin's Hedgehog-like appearance combined with the fact SoNick sounds like Sonic.

Ascended Fanboy: Was a longtime part of the Subreddit prior to becoming part of the Team.

Recognition Failure: Most people don't realize SoNick is part of the Team despite his moderator badge in chat. After DekuNukem gave up the job of streaming Twitch Plays Pokémon, the Streamer picked s_SoNick as his replacement. Unlike the other members of the Team,SoNick tends to keep a lower profile.

Recurring Characters

The Fossil Pantheon

As a whole

Lord Helix

Lord Dome

Lord Amber

Lord Root

Lord Claw

The Ghost: Never appears in the entirety of the Bill saga. This is probably because he is stuck doing every other Gods' job while they are out in the mortal plane. He later appeared as part of Roxanne's team in Blaze Black 2.

Nature Spirit: God of sky and animals.

The Silent Bob: Often depicted as being silent, though it may be able to talk. The god of Chat silence, sky, and animals. Its true form is the Anorith line. He has an Oracle (Xatu), but no Archangel or Prophet. The only one to never appear proper during the Bill saga, so he also takes it upon himself to do everyone else's job while they're away.

Lord Skull

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Subverted with his fully-evolved form, Rampardos, which is actually blue in color.

Gladiator Games: Both he and Armor are the gods of the Pokémon Stadium and Battle Revolution. The Patron God of the Red Team in Stadium, later Battle Revolution. Skull is the God of offense and luck. Skull's Prophet is believed to be Bird Matt from Black, and he has no Archangel. Its true form is the Cranidos line. He assisted the Pantheon in thier battle against Bill.

Lord Armor

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Subverted with his normal appearance, which doesn't have a trace of blue on it but is the patron god of the Blue team. Played Straight with his shiny appearance however, which is blue.

Lord Cover

Came Back Strong: If he is indeed Xerneas in X after dying as Tirtouga in Black.

The Fashionista: Enjoys wearing pretty bows.

Irony: If indeed he is god of patience and progress, the Mob chose the fossil more unsuited to their abilities in Pokemon Black. Also was the only Fossil God to be Killed Off for Real by means of release. The God of Life was the only one to die (save for Helix, but that was for other in-story reasons and he revived a few times).

Ninja: Associated with them. Somehow. The god of Life, patience, progress, and freedom from obsticles. Cover has no known Prophets or Archangels, though he is friends with Lillil from Black and somehow related to Deer Lord from X. Its true form is the Tirtouga line. Having been introduced after Gen 4, he did not participate in the battle with Bill.

Lord Plume

Ambiguously Evil: Considering his spheres of influence, the Mob in particular having been trapped in the Extralink for days on end. This may be what led to them not choosing the Plume Fossil in Pokemon Black.

Everybody Hates Hades: If the above is true.

Plague Master: Is responsible for spreading Pokérus.

Playful Hacker: Hacks the universe to make things easier for the mob.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Apparently got stuck with pirates just because Cover wanted ninjas. The god of Death, Plague, Science, Faffing, and the Entralink. It's also associated with cheating and pirates. Plume also has no known Prophets or Archangels, though has been used by both N and Iris. Its true form is the Archen line. Having been introduced after Gen 4, he did not participate in the battle with Bill.

Lord Jaw

Determinator: The god of them.

Retcon: Started as purely future, later shifted to a technology bend with Wi-Fi and ineractivity through O-Powers and trades. Then got his and Sail's domains switched.

Swapped Roles: At some point Jaw was given an association with Isolation despite Sail once having that association. It is believed this is due to the Mob picking Sail and wanting to associate Wi-Fi with the fossil they had chosen.

Lord Jaw is associated with both Isolation and Battling. He is not known to have any Prophets or Archangels. Its true form is the Tyrunt line. Having been introduced after Gen 4, he did not participate in the battle with Bill.

Lord Sail

Put on a Bus: In fossil form, it was given to Lady Helix and both were stored in the PC without any hope of a rescue.

Retcon: Started as purely the past, later shifted to a philosophy of playing the game without help from outside the chat (i.e. through Wi-Fi or streetpass). Then got her's and Jaw's domains switched. Has recently been spotted moonlighting as a God of Shipping. Because ships have sails.

Swapped Roles: At some point Sail was given an association with Wi-Fi despite Jaw once having that association. It is believed this is due to the Mob picking Sail and wanting to associate Wi-Fi with the fossil they had chosen.

Lord Drive

Big Bad: Has become this to the Pantheon after Bill was defeated.

Deus ex Machina: Taken literally, as Team Plasma resurrected this ancient creature, gave it robotic parts, and then proceeded to mount a drive-operated energy cannon into its back.

My Friends... and Zoidberg: Not seen usually as part of the pantheon, as it is not a fossil. It is, however, an ancient Pokémon revived from the Paleozoic Era by Team Plasma, meaning it had to be a fossil at some point. The God of Imbalance, Drive's true form is the legendary Pokémon Genesect. The Mob has suggested Genesect is actually a corrupted Kabutops. Ghetsis used it in his battle against Cly in Blaze Black 2. Having been introduced after Gen 4, it did not participate in the battle with Bill.

Shared by Many Games

Professor Oak

Bill

Red

Bulbasaur/The Pokédex

Bulbadex "Is Bulbasaur's cry still the same?" The Pokédex is often accidentally accessed by the players when opening the start menu, and being that Bulbasaur is Pokédex number 001, its profile got accessed often in Red, Anniversary Red and FireRed. In later runs, due to not using the Kanto Pokédex and the Pokédex remembering what the last Pokémon accessed was, whatever Pokémon was seen was significantly more random. Brick Joke: After many, many times of asking if Bulbasaur's cry changed at all, Pokemon X had all the gen 1 Pokemon's cries updated...including Bulbasaur's.

The Constant: Bulbasaur was seen as a 'pseudo team member' by some, because regardless of who gets released, at least the Bulbasaur Pokédex entry never will. It Was with You All Along: Professor Oak said that Alice left his lab with Bulbasaur.

invoked Paranoia Fuel: Some have taken to think that Red and Alice checked Bulbasaur's cry so often because they were worried that it would change.

Paranoia Fuel: Some have taken to think that Red and Alice checked Bulbasaur's cry so often because they were worried that it would change. Stock Scream: Bulbasaur's 'cry' sound has become this for many players.

invoked What Could Have Been: Another interpretation is that Red checked the entry so often because he wondered if things would've gone differently if he had chosen Bulbasaur ◊ .

Zexy

Zexy ( R-Ceus ) A´s Torchic in Emerald, who reincarnated as R-Ceus in Alpha Sapphire after being released. After having his god-like powers sealed away, his Torchic form faded away, revealing him as a Lampent. A´s Torchic in Emerald, who reincarnated asin Alpha Sapphire after being released. After having his god-like powers sealed away, his Torchic form faded away, revealing him as a Lampent.

The PC

The Ledges

The Ledges A group of evil ledges intent on making the Mob fall over them. Repeatedly. Anti-Climax Boss: In-universe. Despite its superior length, the final form of the ledge on Route 22 was walked by Red in a matter of minutes. Averted for Alice, though. Also Averted for Abe, who took hours every time he tried the ledge. Didn't help that Victory Road had Pokemon in their 80s.

Climbing the Cliffs of Insanity: Red struggles to surpass his climbs past the ledges.

The Precarious Ledge: These ledges would be trivial for any normal human. Only the Mob's lack of coordination makes them a challenge.

Puzzle Boss: To surpass them, the mob has to figure out how to work together.

Super Mode / One-Winged Angel: The infamous long ledge on Kanto Route 22 ◊ , situated on Red's path to Victory Road and the Kanto Pokémon League headquarters. For Napoleon, the Mt. Coronet ledge ◊ qualifies. The mob must enter exactly three Down commands - no more, no less - and then precariously tread right, then use Rock Climb to ascend.

Teala

Domealakazam

The Mysterious Bird

For tropes about The Mysterious Bird's role in Prism, go here. An unidentified bird found at the end of Crystal Anniversary and Brown, finally confronted in Prism. Believed to be the true form of OLDEN. Feathered Fiend

Knight of Cerebus: Especially if it's OLDEN. Even if it isn't, however, its first appearance came in the Unown Dungeon, which was the point where it became evident that it would no longer be the sole responsibility of the mob to make the lore dark.

The Unfought: Until Prism, that is.

Intermission Games

BCCDDD (Michael Catson)

BCCDDD ("Michael Catson") A kitten that a girl named OOOBBC adopted when Twitch played Catz between the Crystal and Emerald playthroughs. A glitch caused him to get stuck walking on the same spot for over 6 hours. All Just a Dream: A popular idea is that this entire bizarre sequence is a dream one of the TPP characters had.

Cute Kitten

Time Stands Still: It remained 10PM for the entire time he was stuck walking. A kitten that a girl named OOOBBC adopted when Twitch played Catz between the Crystal and Emerald playthroughs. A glitch caused him to get stuck walking on the same spot for over 6 hours.

The PMD Team

The Bowling Pins Team A Charmander named AAAAIID and a Squirtle named ncccccc.! from Twitch Plays Pokémon: Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue, in-between the sessions with FireRed and Platinum. Almighty Idiot: They literally just charge up to growl, tackle, whip, shoot bubbles and fire at the walls for no apparent reason.

Decoy Protagonist: A save glitch made the game reset three times, replacing the protagonist (first there was a Mudkip, then the crowd-beloved Squirtle, and finally a Pikachu).

No Indoor Voice: aaaaaaaa is interpreted as just screaming its name at anyone who will hear.

invoked Replacement Scrappy: aaaaaaaa, the Pikachu. Everybody wanted the Squirtle back and screamed that the new player character must die.

Replacement Scrappy: aaaaaaaa, the Pikachu. Everybody wanted the Squirtle back and screamed that the new player character must die. Ret-Gone: Trolls deleted the post-HeartGold save file, erasing Team z33k.

Spiritual Successor: To Red's Abby and FireRed's Shellock Holmes. Some of the mob say these are Abby and Shellock Holmes, teaming up to defeat Bill. Went further with the second playthrough of Mystery Dungeon after HeartGold. The chat used Democracy to name their Charmander "Abby", their Magnemite "Wattson", and their group "Team z33k", after a prominent Twitch Plays Pokémon member the other players viewed as one of the several 'chat leaders'.

A Charmander named AAAAIID and a Squirtle named ncccccc.! from Twitch Plays Pokémon: Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue, in-between the sessions with FireRed and Platinum.

Luigi

Luigi The Player Character during the intermission for Mario Party DS. Luigi as a penchant of doing nearly nothing in certain mini-games, setting himself up for constant losses. This does not stop him from trying. Achilles' Heel: Any mini-game that requires the use of the touch-screen outside simple tapping is impossible with the program the streamer uses. This causes a number of guaranteed losses.

Arch-Enemy: To Peach and Toad, at least according to the mob. Their constant victories over a nearly-comatose Luigi probably helped.

Ascended Meme: Played straight, but with an inverted outcome. Luigi did not in fact win by doing absolutely nothing.

Crazy Enough to Work: Sometimes not moving can create victory. Other times, the plan is overly crazy and fails.

Determinator: No matter how many times Luigi loses, he constantly gets back up for more. The Player Character during the intermission for Mario Party DS. Luigi as a penchant of doing nearly nothing in certain mini-games, setting himself up for constant losses. This does not stop him from trying.
