Six different Pokémon games to feature over the coming week in the European Speedrunner Assembly Winter 2024 event in benefit of Make-A-Wish

Six separate speedruns of Pokémon games are set to feature in the 2024 European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA) Winter event, which is taking place from February 17th to February 24th across two streams from Malmö, Sweden. This year's event will be raising money for Make-A-Wish. The event can watched from ESA's official website, or via its main and secondary Twitch channels.

The European Speedrunner Assembly is a series of speedrunning marathons, with runners attempting to complete the game or accomplish a specific goal as fast as possible. In addition to its semiannual flagship events, their Twitch channel plays host to many smaller marathons, including Break the Record: Live. Over the course of its history, it has raised over $900,000 for various charities.

The details and expected times for the Pokémon runs in the 2024 ESA Winter event are as follows. Please note that these times were correct at time of writing, but may be subject to change based on alterations in the marathon.
