TheSpeedGamers on TwitterThe 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!

i wish you guys good luck, i just saw the news on serebiiforums and i must say that there should more people like you guys who are willing to help handicapped people like me (i am an autist myself) to get better help.
in 2001 when i was 11 years old it was still normal to hurt autists in order to force them to listen or to punish them for misbehaviore, they twisted my hands, they forced my head between my knees so i get less air while ignoring my astmatic problem which are all forbidden nowadays but all still happened to me, people like you will prevent things like these one at a time in the future you got my respect and i will spread the news starting now!
Shaymin was Just Revealed Today on Pokemon.com, will u guys be adding it 2 ur Checklist???

Well as of right now, no information has been revealed on how to acquire Shaymin.

Hey guys! Just want to say good luck with this! I would so love to see you get this just because it is such a crazy thing to do at a normal pace and you’re doing it in 72 hours!
i can’t wait! it starts at 4 PM EST
oh wait 6PM
In Pokemon Emerald, the pokemon that are not obtainable would be “lati@s” whichever you will not pick, surskit since the swarm activation can be obtained via a trade in Ruby or Sapphire by mixing records, Zangoose is only on emerald, lunatones are only on sapphire and meditites are only on Ruby and Sapphire. I think that’s about it and the starters can be received via GBA to GBA trade to complete. Goodluck guys!
correction pls. zangoose is on ruby. and roselias both ruby and sapphire.

I think it’s really great you’re doing this and you have all my support. I’m going to be very interested in watching your progress (and seeing which Pokémon you use).
Thank you for doing this. Go for it, and I hope you have fun!
