Hello! So, recently for the last few days I've been watching TheSpeedGamers' Pokemon Marathon. They're a great community of gamers and basically fun people (like everyone else here).
Right now, they're doing a Pokemon Marathon/charity, raising money for St. Jude's Research Hospital. They're going to try and catch every pokemon and perhaps even a complete living pokedex. Games included are: FireRed, LeafGreen, Diamond, Pearl, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Ruby, Sapphire, Black2, White2.
Also, as some incentive for more donations, you can name the Pokemon they catch. $10 for a random pokemon (the recently caught). $20 for a specific pokemon. And naming legendaries are auctioned off to the highest bidder. At the end, they will transfer all the pokemon caught to Pokemon Ranch to show off all the creavtive names.
There are also some big auctions and events. Former official translator for the Pokemon Company (from Japanese-to-English), Nob Ogasawara, is also joining the chat and sometimes a Skype call. He has translated from the original Red and Blue up to Diamond and Pearl. They have already auctioned off a boxed Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue signed by Nob.
The last prize to be auctioned off is an original Gameboy Pocket, also signed by Nob. (He has also included the quote "Smell ya later!" on the case).
As of this post (1:48 am, Pacific Standard Time) and for the next 2+ hours, they are going to give away a pre-order of either AlphaSapphire or OmegaRuby. By donating, you are given an entry to a raffle to win and the winner gets to choose which game they want. This is organized/paid for by Bulbagarden, creator/head of Bulbapedia.
And on that note, they have already been promoted by sites like Bulbapedia, Serebii, and Marriland and the support of the many people in the community. So if you can't donate, then you can help spread the word of this event (like me ^^) by Tweet, Facebook, etc.
Thanks for reading and sorry if this is in the wrong topic/section. Tired...
