Fish Plays Pokemon Is Exactly What It Sounds Like

Watch live video from FishPlaysPokemon on www.twitch.tv

Had enough of Twitch Plays Pokemon, the Twitch streaming channel on which viewers can control various Pokemon games by entering commands in the chat window? Then you might want to scale back and check out Fish Plays Pokemon, which is exactly the same except that human controllers are replaced by a pet fish.

That's right.

The star of this stream is Grayson Hopper, a goldfish living in a dormitory. He plays Pokemon Red & Blue by swimming around his tank — entering certain "blocks" of the water will trigger a specific button command. It's as slow and tedious as you can imagine, but the mere concept is hilarious.

And Grayson isn't completely incapable — he managed to acquire a Charmander as his starter, name it AAAABBK, and win his first Pokemon battle! And as of this writing… he's stuck in his bedroom.
