This is a challenge hack of Pokemon Red. While allowing all 151 Pokemon to be caught in a single game, it also substantially beefs up the trainers.

As the name implies, this hack was originally made for the stream channel TwitchPlaysPokemon. As such, it contains some references to it, though it contained a couple surprises for the participants. It was the first game they played of the “second season” of the channel. It initially debuted on the first anniversary of the launch and the patch was publicly released by the patch authors after the stream 100% completed the game after 39 days and over 920 hours.

UPDATE

A special edition of the patch was made to include a SGB border that was an exclusive to the cartridge version of the game during its original release. This is the patch file used for the cartridge. Same version of the game, but includes the Super Game Boy border.
