Watch a Fish Play Through the Original Pokémon

There's something compelling about watching fish swim around in a tank. But how about said fish playing Pokémon?

With 1000s of viewers tuning in, "Fish Plays Pokemon" is trying to jump aboard the live phenomenon, "Twitch Plays Pokémon". However, instead of taking input commands from viewers, the fish's location in its tank determines which button is pressed.

The idea was started by two students from University of Chicago and Columbia University who devised the idea to use motion capture to have their fish, within a dorm room, play through Pokémon.

What do you think of the idea, can it work with other pets?
