Twitch Plays Pokémon is an ongoing "social experiment" that is run by an anonymous Australian programmer on Twitch.tv. The stream has spawned a cult-like following since its beginning on February 12th, 2014 with the highest viewership count being 120,000 at once and reaching a total of over 30 million.[1]

Despite its popularity, the first day and a half of the stream were not recorded by anyone. The recording of the stream did not start until 1 day 11 hours 25 minutes and 48 seconds into the game after a commenter asked the streamer to archive it.[2][3] This left the capture of important early characters lost. Thus, this period is known in the TwitchPlaysPokemon community as: The Lost Days. Since Twitch had deleted most archived streams, it's very unlikely that significant footage from this period will ever be found.

It's currently unknown what exactly happened before the first screenshot of Day 1 at approximately ~0d 9h 37m ??s. Several people have attempted to use various early screenshots and forum/image board posts to recreate a timeline of approximately what happened in the first 35 hours, however exact events are unknown.[4][5][6]

5 Screenshots of Day 1 after 9 hours have been documented on 4Chan. Several screenshots and GIFs as well as 3 videos from the lost 35 hours have been found.
