Essentially, it's thousands upon thousands of people all playing Pokemon Red at once. They do by inputting commands that are found on the original Game Boy (Up, Down, Left, Right, A,B, and Start) and that transmits into the game to make Red move, along with other commands and whatnot. Again though, having such a large (and I mean LARGE) number of people doing this at once leads to often chaotic, yet entertaining times.
Oh and if anyone wants to battle or something let me know.
I've been watching it loads and I barely know how to play pokemon. Something really satisfying about the mob overcoming the schizophrenic chaos to win the battles - just saw them beat one of team rocket. Hate democracy mode though, such a cop out.
To be fair KFB, it was awesome (at least to me) to see them use Democracy Mode to obtain the Gold Teeth and Surf in the Safari Zone. I feel that was the only instance where that mode actually mattered.
