First look

Multiplayer
The itch tag is not a working online mode. Here is the evidence.
What I actually opened
I started the public browser build on 23 October 2026. The title screen reads v0.1.0-demo. The main menu is New Game, Options, and Credits — there is no multiplayer button. Download files on the same store page still use the name Pokemon Battle Arena 0.2.0-demo. I am not merging those two labels into one version number.
The store page calls it a real-time HD-2D prototype that runs from your bedroom in Pallet Town to the Boulder Badge. Battles let you move, aim, dodge, sprint, and jump. The four moves sit on W A S D with their own cooldowns. Type matchups still matter. Average session length on itch is about an hour. Price is name-your-own, including zero, with suggested support of 1, 2, 5, or 10 euros.
