The group of fish has now beaten some Pokemon games, just moving around in a speed tracking tank.
The Mutekimaru Channel allows its fish to play games in a continuous stream, the latest achievement being a win over Steven Stone, the Hoen Region Champion. As I write this, the Fish are trying to find the Regis in the next game.
It took the fish about 3,195 hours to defeat the third-generation Pokemon game, According to Mutekimaru’s Twitter account.
Fish tanks are mapped with directional arrows, as well as A and B buttons. The fish swim in the mapped area of the button, activating the buttons in this game. To keep the fish healthy, the fish are chopped every 12 hours.
Twitch Place in Stream is similar to Pokemon, an event of 2014, where Twitch Chat controls the Pokemon player’s movements and commands. The difference here is that Twitch Chat arguably knows how to beat the game and even though people spammed the start button to bring problems to the objective, that chat was able to beat the game in 16 days. Fish increasingly follow the “infinite monkey theorem”, which states that if you have a monkey that buds on a typewriter for an indefinite time on a timewriter, it will eventually be able to write a Shakespeare play.
