Abstract

This paper discusses the TwicthPlaysPokemon, a channel on the VOD service Twicth.TV, from the perspective of participatory culture in which games of the Pokémon franchise are modified to operate under a user hacked video platform. For this, a study is made on the concept of participatory culture and media convergence, to later approach the practice of hacking and modding in the context of the object of study.
