Strange days, incredible days
I think 151 could be a really exciting run if the room is hype and keep tracks of how many pokemon have been picked up. Imagine having a big whiteboard behind the couch with all 151 names on it, and somebody crosses them off as they're caught. If it's as much an event as a run, and there's a lot of enthusiasm in the room, then anyone who's played a Gen 1 pokemon game will have fun following along, whether they know anything about running Pokemon games or not.
There's a lot of runs in past marathons that have really taken off and become something special, not because the game itself, but because it's well-suited for a live event. I think this could easily be something like that if done well.
Edit: I also think Blasto would be a sleeper hit as long you have PJ commentating for it.
