What is Poke2D Arena?
Poke2D Arena is a free, real-time Pokémon battle game that runs in your browser on a computer or a phone. You pick a team of three Pokémon, choose their moves, and steer the active one around a 2D arena, aiming attacks and dodging the other side's instead of picking moves from a menu.
It has a quick battle, fights against the computer on three difficulty levels, a story mode with four chapters and sixteen solo challenges, and online rooms where you battle one other player. There is no download and no account, and your teams and story progress are saved in your browser.
It is an unofficial fan game and is not affiliated with Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Creatures Inc. It is also separate from the Pokemon Arena 2D game announced by Big Kid Nation and Fabled Apps. The site shows ads to pay for hosting.
