Although it was born from a simple concept: streaming a copy of {{bp|Pokémon Red}} over [http://www.twitch.tv Twitch], where the inputs were determined by people from across the globe by typing them into a chatroom, it developed into something more. In a span of just over sixteen days, it evolved from a social experiment to a social phenomenon. Religious and political debates were had, [https://churchofthehelixchoir.bandcamp.com/ art and music were created], and we even saw spin-offs [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-28704028 including a stream where a fish played Pokémon].
