This time, the members of the group managed to capture all 493 Pokémon within 72 hours. There is dispute amongst followers of The Speed Gamers and Pokémon fans alike on the validity of the success of their marathon, as the group suffered technical issues forcing them to start after the previously stated beginning time. They were able to raise, as of 5:55 a.m. (UTC), $18,153.96, about 120% of their goal of $15,000. These donations will go to Ally's House, a charity that helps families struggling to cope with children who have cancer. Donations can still be made until Christmas eve. | ||
