Pokémon Diamond/Pearl and Pokémon Emerald to be a part of this weekend's Shine in the Dark 2025, a blindfolded speedrunning event

The third edition of the Shine in the Dark speedrun marathon is set to go live this weekend, over November 29th and 30th. Every run in the event will be performed blindfolded. Pokémon Diamond/Pearl and Pokémon Emerald are scheduled to be part of the event, running back-to-back on the second day. Somewhat unusually, the marathon organizers have neglected to include information on the schedule page about which Twitch channel the event will be streamed on, only saying it's a "surprise". A YouTube simulcast will also be available.

The details and expected times for the Pokémon runs in this event are as follows. Please note that these times were correct when written, but may be subject to change based on the timing of other runs or marathon-related delays. Check the full schedule to check the approximate start time for each run in your local timezone, as well as for any schedule changes and updates.
