何万人もの非常にたくさんの人がポケモンのオンラインゲームを楽しんでいるという。
一人のキャラクターをオンラインでみんなで操作するというもののようだ。
チャットサイトなので、ＵＰとかＤＯＷＮというコマンドをチャットで打ち込んで多数決、みたいなもの。
おもしろいのかな？

Tens of thousands of people are simultaneously playing an online version of video game Pokemon in what its creator calls a social experiment.

They are all trying to control one character in the game at the same time, using social gaming video site Twitch.

Twitch is a website that lets users broadcast and watch games and use an online chat function while playing.

The game, Pokemon Red/Blue, was originally launched on Nintendo's Game Boy handheld in the 1990s.

Players use Twitch's chat function to type in one of the original game's eight commands - up, down, left, right, A, B, start or select - to move the main character in the game.

Some users are hailing the development as part of internet history, while others question the point.
Five-second rule

Only one command can be typed at a time, and because of the way Twitch's servers work to allow a lot of people to view at the same time, it can take up to 40 seconds for the command to register.

A five-second rule was introduced to try to bring some order as several players typed commands at the same time. Whichever command was typed the most over a five-second period was carried out.

More than eight million people have viewed the game since it was put online last week.・・・
