I'm ready for it to quit. It's basically ddos-ing Twitch. Every other channel is suffering thanks to it.How is it still going?

Extreme popularity to the point that the first things you get when Googling "Twitch plays Pokemon" are shitloads of news sites talking about how 50k people are playing Pokemon.

I had to sift through those links until I found a news article with a Live feed directly from Twitch that I could go to.

They've got like 6 badges right now, and considering how Democracy keeps gaining control, I'd guess another two days or so will yield a conclusion, at least for the main game. I somehow doubt this thing will continue much longer after defeating the Rival. Pretty sure nobody will want to go through 15 hours each to catch enough Pokemon to gain access to Cerulean Cave and fight Mewtwo.
