As you can see by the lack of news in the last couple of days, there isn’t a lot going on in the Pokemon world… well there is, but nobody’s telling anybody else about it, and until they do we can’t tell you. So for the moment you’ll have to do with the news that ExtraLives.org, a group of high school video game players who do gaming marathon’s for charity, performed a Pokemon experiment in the last couple of days. The group split into two teams, one tasked with playing through Red, Gold and Ruby while the other played through Blue, Silver and Saphire to see who could complete them first. R/B was considered complete after the elite 4, G/S was complete after they beat Red on Mt. Silver while Ru/Sa was classed as complete once the elite 4 had been beat.

While the Red Team managed to win on the Generation one games, it was the Blue Team who won overall, completing both Silver and Sapphire before the other team. All donations that they managed to raise during this marathon went to the charity Child’s Play and the ExtraLives group will be doing a Sonic the Hedgehog marathon in July.
