PokéBonk: getting started and controls

Choose a guest partner and learn about modes, language and loading problems.

CatGunner editorial teamUpdated: For the browser edition on this site

Open the official game window

Open PokéBonk on CatGunner and select the play icon in the center of the cover. The window connects directly to pokebonk.com. JavaScript and WebGL are required. Our fullscreen control expands the whole game window; favorite saves a link for later.

Choose a first partner

The welcome screen offers guest play and account options. Select Play as a guest! to try the game, then choose a partner and confirm. The first partner screen offers Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. Read the displayed passive and starting attack before choosing. Account registration and sign-in belong to the official site.

Find a game mode

The main menu includes Play for Classic mode and Survival for endless play. Classic first opens your League, where you inspect and confirm a partner. Follow the next in-game prompts for the region, run setup, movement and skills. Progression and unlock requirements can change as the creator updates the game.

Sound, graphics and language

On phones, rotate to landscape and select our Fullscreen control before playing. Use the game's Settings and Language controls. The official game offers English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and other languages. CatGunner's language selector translates our surrounding pages only. CatGunner cannot read or change cross-origin game sound, graphics or progress.

If loading fails

Allow time for the official game to download its resources. Try Reload game once if needed; it can interrupt a run. The website footer has Open official site for a separate tab. Some browsers restrict embedded storage or WebGL. Avoid clearing browser data to troubleshoot: read the PokéBonk save notes first.

Ready? Let’s go.
