As Dangond begins, the AI offers the choice between the three starter Pokémon of the region: Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip. Dangond “plays” the game by responding to the AI in chat.Īs always with mainline Pokémon games, in Pokémon Emerald you explore a region and battle other Pokémon in turn-based combat, so the text largely describes battles and calculates them.

Dangond posted a screenshot-by-screenshot thread that contains his conversation with the chatbot.
