Four Pokémon games to feature in Zocktoberfest charity marathon

Germench will be hosting the Zocktoberfest marathon out of Göttingen, Germany from October 3rd to October 8th. In the event, players will attempt to complete a game or an objective within the game as quickly as possible. The event will be raising money for Tafel Deutschland and can watched from their Twitch channel.

Germench is the largest community of German speedrunners on Twitch. They regularly do German language restreams of large speedrunning events, including Games Done Quick and European Speedrunner Assembly. They were pioneered by exe-de during the 2014 AGDQ event, inspired by the French Restream, and have since put on their own speedrunning marathons, including Zocktoberfest.
