Calling it now: they're going to get knocked out before they reach the next PokeCenter.
Somehow this reminds me of a little experiment I did quite many years on a usenet forum. I wanted to create a collaboration chess game: I set up a chess game, and every day people could suggest moves and vote for moves, and the move with the most votes would then be performed. The next day it would be the same for the "other player". The intent was not to win anything, but to see what kind of game would result from this voting system. (And my purpose was to create a game that was as good as possible, ie. both "players" playing as strongly as possible, via the cooperation of many people.) It went quite well for a while, but unfortunately it ended before even the first game was even half-way through. Many people lost interest, and some other people started kind of "soft-boycotting" the entire project by suggesting and voting for deliberately bad moves in order to make it "more interesting". I didn't want one of the "players" making deliberately bad moves, so at some point I just ended the whole project. Quite a pity, really. I wonder if this idea could work here.
There was a similar experiment in 1999, with Kasparov against the world. Kasparov won, but the world team played very well. They had a team of skilled players recommending moves, and the voters tended to choose good moves because bad players couldn't coordinate on which bad moves to play. I suspect that a democratic run of this game would be much faster and much less funny.

There are now >44000 people, and the twitch chat lag is affecting the game. The input stream comes in bursts at this point.
