What is PokéBonk?

PokéBonk is a free 3D survivor game you play in your browser, starring the 151 original Pokémon from the Kanto region. You pick a Pokémon, dodge and fight endless waves of wild ones, level up, evolve, and fire off a big Ultimate move when things get hectic. Each run is short, so it is easy to squeeze in a quick game.

It is an unofficial fan game made by a solo fan called Charcher, and it is not made by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company or Game Freak. The Pokémon sprites come from the community PMD SpriteCollab project, while the maps, 3D models and music were made for the game. It is still in beta, so expect regular updates and the odd rough edge.
