A free browser fan game with real time ranked Pokémon battles against live opponents. We read its code: there is no WebGL and no game engine, just 2D canvas. That makes it the one browser Pokémon game that should run on a cheap Android handheld and an iPhone.

A Godot rebuild of FireRed's opening with real time battles, playable in a browser right now. There is no Linux build and no APK, which decides everything about where you can play it. PortMaster already ships the runtime it would need.

An argument about which Pokémon would play quarterback became a browser game with a draft, formations and a simulated 17 game season. Here is what it is, and the awkward truth about which retro handhelds can actually load it.

Six random level 100 Pokémon, one battle against Red, a new team every day. It runs the real FireRed battle engine in a browser, its creator archived it within half an hour, and it has never been tested on a phone.

Pokémon fan games are not ROM hacks, and the hardware question is completely different. Two of the biggest ones are official PortMaster ports that run on a 40 dollar Anbernic. Some now run in a browser with no install at all. The others need Android or a PC. Sorted by what you own.

A fan project turned Pokémon Emerald into a browser MMO with guilds, trading, and PvP. Here is what it actually is, and the awkward truth about which retro handhelds can open it.
