PokeBonk Official Site and Links
The PokeBonk official site is pokebonk.com, where the game runs in your browser. It is made by an independent developer, Charcher, who posts new versions on X and runs the game's Discord. These are the official channels; anything else, this wiki included, is a fan site.
PokeBonk official site and channels
- PokeBonk, official site
Play the game in a browser on PC or mobile. It is free and needs no download.
- Developer on X
The developer's account (@ImCharcher), where new versions and fixes are announced first.
- Official Discord
The game's community server, linked from the game itself: bug reports, suggestions and clans.
Telling the PokeBonk official site from copies
Several new sites use the PokeBonk name, and some of them embed the game or a copy of it. The real game is the one at pokebonk.com: it saves your League, Stardust and Lab upgrades in that browser, and a copy on another address will not see that save. The game is free, so a page that asks for a download, a payment or a wallet to unlock Pokemon or Stardust is not the developer's.
If the official site does not open, the PokeBonk not loading guide goes through browser, WebGL and school network problems before you try anything else.
What to read after the PokeBonk official site
New players can start with the PokeBonk guide and how to play PokeBonk, then pick between Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle with the PokeBonk starters guide. The developer ships changes almost every day, and the PokeBonk patch notes here list each version in English.
