Running between June 15, 2012 and June 22, 2012 was The Speed Gamers' fourth Pokémon marathon in aid of [http://www.act-today.org ACT Today], a charity dedicated to raising awareness and providing treatment services and support to families of children with autism. The gamers aimed to catch all 646 currently available Pokémon during the seven-day event, which also featured playthroughs of numerous side games such as [[Pokémon Stadium]], battles in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and gameplay from the then newly-released [[Pokémon Conquest]]. Viewers making donations were entered into a series of prize draws and contests throughout the week to win prizes such as games, merchandise and hand-made artwork. This was the first charity marathon to be live streamed by [[Bulbagarden]].
