Over the next several months Twitch will stream the first 932 episodes of the Pokemon anime series, as well as every movie. The livestream will begin August 27 and last into 2019, the company announced today, making it not only the longest TV-like marathon Twitch done to date but also a perfect test of the human will to endure.

The marathon will start at 1pm ET on August 27 with episode one of the Indigo League season, when Ash and Pikachu had their first falling out. From there episodes will run for eight hours Monday through Thursday with Friday and Saturday reserved for reruns and movies airing every Sunday at 1pm. In addition to the usual co-watching experience provided by the Twitch chat, the stream will also have an overlay called the Pokémon Badge Collector. It lets you collect Pokemon just like you were filling out a Pokédex by clicking on a small icon when it appears next to the version in the show. Each one gives a certain amount of points with more points earned for rarer Pokemon. While these points will feed into an overall leaderboard, it’s not clear if they’ll have any other interesting effects.
