TheSpeedGamers Try to Catch ’em All for Charity!

TheSpeedGamers, a group that regularly runs live gaming marathons to raise money for various charities, is now on a quest to catch as many Pokémon as they can before June 27th! The stream is already live and they’re currently raising money for St. Jude’s! Generous viewers have already donated $5,500 and since 2008 TSG has raised almost half a million dollars! WATCH AND DONATE HERE!!

If you’re a Pokémon fan (or even if you’re not) and want to help a good cause, go give a few bucks! Otherwise you can visit their stream and encourage the team from chat 🙂

  1. Black and White Plot Review:

    – Amazing underlying message
    – Had so much potential but seemed complete
    – Slow but polished
    – Memorable characters, amazing plot twist, and N (enough said)
    – Amazing attempts and even tapped into the, “Is Pokemon Ethical” issue but was replaced by Ghetsis’ ulterior motive
    – Memorable characters, rivals, gym leaders (except for Brycen), towns/cities/other settings, and antagonists
    – Amazing climax
    – Proper plot structure usage

    Overall, I would rate it A for trying and A for execution…

  2. HeartGold and SoulSilver Plot Review:

    – Little to none underlying message
    – Downgraded version of Kanto
    – Memorable rival, gym leaders, and settings
    – Little to no character development
    – Slow paced but unpolished
    – Lackluster climax

    Overall, I would rate it “A” for trying and “D” for execution…

  3. Pokemon Games Plot Structure Rating Rank:
    1. Black and White, A
    2. Black and White 2, B+
    3. Platinum, B-
    4. X and Y, C+
    5. HeartGold and SoulSilver, D

    (I can’t rate Ruby or Sapphire as I’ve never played them).

    • I’d probably currently put them at a B- or C+ (Although I love them). Just because the gym leaders don’t do much for the story and Steven was almost as boring as Diantha (If that’s possible) But it looks like he’ll actually be taking a bigger part in the story so I’ll have to regrade when they come out.

      • He did kind of have a big part of the story, you meet him in granite cave, you battle with him in space center, he’s there with you to catch the legendary pokemon. He had WAY more personality than diantha, and one thing set him apart from most champions: he had a purpose.

        And norman was your dad XD He had a part in the story kind of And wattson had the new mauville thing which was awesome :3 And of course the gym leader wallace is there with you to help catch the legendary pokemon.

        • Alder had a purpose as well. More so than any other champions introduced so far so I would have to disagree with the purpose statement.

          Reply
        • That’s true! He’s better than Diantha. I forgot he had more to the story after the space center. At least he was helpful unlike DIANTHA. I’m looking forward to his expanded role though!

  4. So glad to see that Pokejungle is supporting the TSG! Their marathons are great and the auctions they have this year ARE AMAZING!!!! MINT signed copies of RED and BLUE as well as a signed copy of an original GameBoy Pocket that was used to translate the original Red and Blue from Japanese into English! All signed by the original game translator.

    • Hey! 😀 Welcome to Pokejungle!
      It’s a dead period now, but it will pick back up.
      I’m PercyEspeon, and you can call me Percy, Jamie (my real name…I am a girl), or whatever really.
      Xerneas was awesome! And I love Diancie, Sylveon and Latias and espeically Gardevoir.
      My favorite is obviously Espeon and Gardevoir, but I love Luxray, Dialga, and Glaceon. (My favorite gen is 4th…obviously 😀 Sinnoh fangirl for the win!)
      My favorite starter is Piplup and my favorite type is obviously Psychic, as well as Dragon and Fire.
      What about you? Favorite type(s)? Favorite region/generation? Favorite starter?
      You’re gonna love it here. Just wait for other people to come back on, believe me.

      • My favorite starters are Delphox and Sceptile. My favorite types are fairy and dragon. My favorite generation is 6 and my favorite region is kalos. My favorite types and pokemon order changes sometimes, but my favorite type goes between fairy and dragon. The only list that has an order and I have nailed down is my top 5 favorite pokemon.

        Reply
        • Yeah. Favorites are hard to put in order xD
          Fairy types are amazing as well, definitely a top type for me. And I definitely want a Fairy/Dragon combination.
          And Kalos is second for me :3 Hoenn and Unova are behind it.
          And I loved Fennekin, and I always wanted a Fire/Psychic typing as well for a starter 😀
          And we also have a lot of Sceptile fans 😀
