How the internet plays pokemon

This isn't new technology, it's just one of those random things that got incredibly popular for some reason. It's just a program converting IRC messages to game input. Discuss!

You had me at pokemon. I have an old Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Black. Sapphire's only down side is the internal battery died so it won't register some events now. Still playing black once in a blue moon.
BHX, this isn't about pokemon, it's about the stream and the insane number of people interacting with it.
I know, the pokemon was more interesting to me than the user interaction through IRC. Mainly because there used to be games that you played through IRC back in the 90s. Can't recall for the life of me the game I used to play when I used to use IRC.
Maybe, it has been so long since I've played it. Unfortunately I've not talked to any of them since I graduated in 2000 so I can't find out what it was.
