Pokémon Red, along with Pokémon Green, are the first video games in the Pokémon series of games. They are the first paired versions of Generation I. Developed over the course of several years, Red and Green established several standards for later Pokémon games and sequels. They take place in the Kanto region, with the player having to collect eight Gym Badges to become the Pokémon Champion while also completing the Pokédex by collecting all 151 Pokémon.

What is Pokémon Red Version about?

The player character starts out in Pallet Town. When the player character tries to leave the town without a Pokémon of their own, they are stopped in the nick of time by Professor Oak, who invites them to his lab. There, he gives them a Pokémon of their own and a Pokédex, telling them about his dream to make a complete guide on every Pokémon in the world. After the player character battles their rival and leaves the lab, they are entitled to win every Gym Badge, compete in the Pokémon League, and fulfill Oak's dream by catching every Pokémon.

Should I stream Pokémon Red Version on Twitch?

4/100 · Closed off· 2 viewers per streamer on paper

Not really. Almost all of the 5 people watching Pokémon Red Version in English are already committed to the streams they are on, leaving about 1 across 1 other English stream. You would start around #1 of 4.

About 1 of the 5 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 1 each if you split it with the 1 other English stream below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #1.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.
