Pokémon fan games you can play in a browser

Fans have been making Pokémon games for the browser for as long as there have been browsers: battle simulators that the competitive scene runs on, roguelikes, idle games, quizzes and daily guessing games.

This list gathers the ones in our catalogue. They are fan projects, not official Nintendo or Game Freak releases, and some have been taken down over the years — where a game is gone we say so and point you at the ones still running.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Are Pokémon fan games legal to play?
They are unofficial fan projects. Playing one in a browser is generally fine for you as a player, but the rights holder can and sometimes does ask for them to be taken down, which is why some disappear.
What is Pokémon Showdown?
A free online battle simulator used widely by the competitive Pokémon community. You build teams and battle other players in the browser without playing through the games.
Do Pokémon browser games work on mobile?
Many do, especially quizzes and turn-based games. Each game’s page says whether it is known to work with touch.
