Twitch Is Playing An Unreleased Pokemon Hack That Took Eight Years To Make

Not only is Twitch Plays Pokemon still going in 2016, this time around it’s working its way through a very cool game that nobody else can play yet.

Pokemon Prism is a ROM hack that uses the original Game Boy aesthetic to render modern Pokemon creatures and features. Meaning: Not only can you see some recent Pokemon in 8-bit goodness, you can also do things like customise your trainer. If you have lots of nostalgia for the original games but like some of the improvements of the latest generation, Prism sounds right up your alley:

Some things you’ll find in Prism:

  • 200 Pokemon
  • A new region with a new story
  • 20 badges
  • 60 FPS gameplay
  • The ability to play as Pokemon themselves

While Pokemon Prism isn’t out yet, the trailer says it will be publicly available to download in December. In the mean time, you can watch hundreds of people try to coordinate their Prism playthrough below — as many of you already know, the whole shtick is that the everyone in the chat can control the game. Didn’t you miss the frustration and wonder of TPP?
