Some of you may recall that back in 2014, a Twitch channel conducted a radical experiment that saw what turned out to be over 1 million of the site's users play Pokémon Red using only simple commands in the stream's chat.
At the time, it seemed doubtful that this many people would be able to coordinate themselves to actually compete but they indeed emerged victorious after sending a total of 122 million chat messages over the course of 16 days.
And while that channel and its viewers have gone on to conquer other Pokémon games since then, their achievements seem almost quaint compared to the bizarre tale we're about to explore that sees one Japanese fan letting his pet fish beat the game.
