[http://extralives.org/ ExtraLives] was started in 2009 by a group of high school students who had the idea of using video games to raise money for charity. Almost 4 years later, the now college students are still at it, and are kicking off the new year with their third Pokémon marathon.

Starting December 29th, they will be playing three-way races of {{p|Generation I|Gen I}}, {{p|Generation II|Gen II}}, and {{p|Generation III|Gen III}} Pokémon games. Each race will include a poorly-translated bootleg version, along side the two official versions. After that, they will play a two-way race between {{game|Black and White|s}}. Other Pokémon games will be played between each race, and after the races are finished if donation goals are met. They plan to continue playing through January 2nd.
