Yes, it’s as weird as the headline sounds. Programmer Constantin Liétard has found a way to let people to play Pokémon Red from their computers inside his Twitter avatar.

Players simplu reply to his pinned tweet with one of the game’s inputs (Up, Down, Left, Right, A, B, Start, and Select), and whichever input is tweeted the most each 15 seconds is input into an emulated version of the turn-based 1996 Game Boy JRPG. Then the next frame is displayed in the glorious 400×400 pixels of Constanin Liétards Twitter avatar.

The question is whether he (they) will catch ’em all?
