So you want to play Pokemon Go, but you're stuck at the office and/or too lazy to get up and walk around? You could go to the trouble of jury-rigging an elaborate Pokemon Go emulator on your PC. Or you could just go on Twitch and help control a similar emulator with a few hundred strangers.

Yes, nearly two years after Twitch Plays Pokemon first hit the scene, the idea has now evolved into Twitch Plays Pokemon Go, a new stream (from a different creator) that lets users collaborate on the mobile-gaming hit. Players vote on what area of the screen to tap using an alphanumeric grid system, with a new command entered every few seconds. The stream can even virtually walk around the map using some GPS spoofing (sorry, no Segway-powered robots here... yet).

The stream creators over at HackNY say they realize that this method of playing is technically against the game's terms of service. "If Niantic or Nintendo wish to ban the account that we're playing with we would understand, but we assume they know this is all in good fun," they write in the stream's description.

As of this writing, more than 700 people are watching/playing the game live, contributing to 82,000 total views in just over a day. The collaborators have thus far amassed a stable of six Pokemon, including three Pinsirs, a Spearow, a Pidgey, and a Charmander. Soon, the relentless power of the crowd will no doubt take over every gym in the tri-state area.
