TheSpeedGamers' Pokémon Marathon

[localretard]

Hey guys i'm back to tell you about our newest marathon starting tomorrow at 6PM CST. It'll be a 72 hour race to catch all 493 Pokémon. We've imported a copy of Pokemon Soul Silver to help with this task.

We've been on this forum before for our Final Fantasy Marathon, Mega Man Marathon, and our Resident Evil Marathon but if you're not familiar with what we do, we've been streaming video game marathons for over a year to raise money for various charities. In total we have raised over $98,000 dollars and played 14 marathons. We raised over $50,000 in their week long Final Fantasy Marathon, and have made multiple news appearances.

This upcoming marathon will be for Ally's House. This charity's is sponsored by Toby Keith (Country music singer-songwriter, record producer and actor), and their mission is to "to help Oklahoma kids with cancer and their families. Donations will be used to help these families through this difficult journey."

During the marathon we will have multiple contests to win various prizes including multiple DS games one being our imported Soul Silver.

The chat and video will be up tonight over at thespeedgamers.com, but the marathon doesn't start until tomorrow.

Thanks guys!

Awesome, I'll miss the first day due to finals but I always enjoy these marathons.

Same here, can't wait.

[Pirian]

Looking forward to this and I'm glad I caught the thread before it started instead of 2 hours before it ended this time lol

Can't believe you guys haven't tried the Castlevania series. Good cause, good luck!

[Scythiroth]

Good luck in the marathon! I will be watching as much as possible, as usual.

But every game after SOTN can be cheesed through with minimal effort!


I too will be watching, I never got around to playing the DS versions of the Pokemon games, will be nice to see.

Unless they changed something in Soul Silver, catching all 493 pokemon is impossible.

[Omniyoji]

OMG I almost forgot about this, thanks for the reminder!

It's quite possible actually. Heart Gold/Soul Silver now allow us to get the legendaries instead of doing the Colosseum thing. The only real issue was the event pokémon, however luckily we have all the event pokémon legitimately all on one cart.

marathon going strong. fun to see these games getting played

[Correction]

It's so hard for me to tell how far along they are, I never did own a game boy for the original games.

[Correction]

92 pokemon left, 3k from goal. Go guys go.

Anyone know how they caught those 3 legendary (they look like Lions and they are Ice, Fire lightning elements I believe) pokemon from Gold/silver? I remember back in the day going crazy just trying to find them, let alone catch them.

Ok now that's just cheating if it's not all from a fresh start. ;/

At any rate, good luck on meeting the time requirements, it'll be quite a grind. I take it you guys will be playing the titles simultaneously?
