The Marathon will begin Friday December 19th @5pm cst and last 72 hours. We will attempt to catch every Pokemon that is legitimately possible (491) while raising money for ACT Today. 100% of all donations will go to ACT Today (Autism Care and Treatment).
Rules: All games will be started from a new file, and all pokemon must be attained within our house, no trades will be made from outsiders. All the Pokemon will be transferred to one cart to complete the Pokedex.
Setup: We will be playing multiple games at a time, but we will only be broadcasting 2 “feature games” along with a view of a commentator via webcam. We will switch out the 2 “feature games” being played around every 6 hours so that our viewers can see a litte bit of each game. The commentator will also be giving updates of progress and catchings in games that aren’t being featured at that time There will be a checklist to show the pokemon we’ve caught so that everyone can be up to date on our progress .
You will be able to view and chat with us and other viewers here on our website.
Here’s an example: Keep in mind the commentator feed on the bottom wont be as pixelized. The chat will be below the video.

The games we will be playing to achieve this task is:
Pokemon Versions- Fire Red, Leaf Green, Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond, Pearl,
Pokemon Gale of Darkness, Pokemon Colosseum + American and Japanese Bonus Discs, Pokemon Ranger Shadow of Almia, Pokemon Ranch.
Prizes: Pokemon Edition Nintendo 64, Pokemon Edition Gameboy Color, Pokemon Diamond with completed Pokedex that we gathered from the marathon.
The Pokemon marathon marks our 8th marathon. We have raised over $10,000 in total for various charities.
Also, we are partnering up with NintendoPapercraft.com for this marathon. They are currently holding a contest in which you send in your fan made papercraft, and you could possibly win some awesome prizes!

WOOOOW! I didn’t realize this was the eighth marathon, I only just learn about this from Serebii.net! I have acute autism, so I’m glad that you guys aer donating to an autism charity, it’ll help future generations from becoming like me. LULZ.
But anyways, I love Pokemon and I’ve always wanted to capture all the Pokemon by Shaymin and Arceus w/o Japanese trades. In fact I’m already midway through my first “permanent” Pokemon Pearl file and plan to fill out the Pokedex as much as I can!
I can’t wait to see this awesome event! GOOD LUCK!! ^_^
You have my support.
I am a huge pokemon fan and i think this is a good challenge.
Good luck.
This thing starts at 6:00 pm eastern right?
Also I’ll watch as much of this marathon as possible.
This is a great thing your doing, and since I LOVE Pokemon and have a brother and a friend who have Autism (and also love the series) this makes me very happy.
But I have a quick question-
When will this start, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)?
I wish you best of luck, and hope you make it!
Are you playing the Japanese Colosseum, and have 1 Japanese GBA game?

Starly makes 14
I love what you guys are doing! Its so cool! Ive gotten every pokemon so to see this is truly amazing!
So I just realized that you guys are in a bit of a predicament. Drifloon doesn’t show except for Friday, making it impossible to catch if you set the clocks to real time. Just throwing that out there.
Yeah Tknowles, if they use the ‘clock reset’ glitch, not only can they can they get drifloon, but they can trade more than 6 pokemon a day
final
It’s a shame you used event pkmn for lati@s, ho-oh, lugia, ect. really deoxys was the only one needed (i am missing Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Shaymin, and Arceus, because I don’t cheat nor trade with cheaters, even if it was just to get the pkmn).
they probably reset the pearl and set the time as friday, caught and traded over drifloon.
if you send the pkmn over from emerald to ruby, you can send six over. oncer done, RESTART ruby, and do it again. thats the purpose of ruby/saphire – theyre tools
how can I watch the videos on this site if I have really slow dial up internet, would someone maybe be able to E-mail them to me?
By the way I’ve already completed my National dex without cheating, trading with cheaters, etc. It wasn’t easy trust me, it took me about 8 months to finish my national dex, but when I first started diamond I wasn’t catching every Pokemon I saw I only began concentrating on my national dex about a month or two after I finished the story mode (elite 4 etc.).
and if anyone could E-mail me the videos off of this site please post a message to notify me.
How did they get Deoxys? I wasn’t watching them when they got it.
