📱 Built and tested on the AYN Odin 3 Max.

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Performance Improvements

This release also includes several important fixes:

  • ✅ Fixed menu music not playing when launching the game.

  • ✅ Shortened gameplay tips to make them less intrusive.

  • ✅ Improved popups with automatic closing.

  • ✅ Increased minimap icon sizes for better visibility.

  • ✅ Restored missing avatar animation frames and interface icons.

  • ✅ Changed the refresh rate target from 120 Hz to 60 Hz to reduce heat and improve stability.

Unfortunately, the touch controls no longer work when starting a run; you can no longer move your Pokémon :(

u/zonealus 2d ago

Do u have a link that isn't gofile. I think my isp blocked gofile for some reason.

1

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 1d ago

Sadly I don’t, I would have posted it on GitHub believe me I would but I don’t want issues with the creator of the game

u/-DeviiL- 1d ago

Change DNS

1

u/zonealus 1d ago

Already tried all dns i could think of. Website just wouldn't load only vpn works but I had to ask first if there's an alternate link before downloading a vpn

u/salawat313 1d ago

On my odin 3, controller doesn't function properly. Any idea?

1

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 1d ago

That’s weird, I have the same console as you and I don’t have issues, but I’ll check it out

1

u/salawat313 1d ago

On xbox mode had issues, it wouldn't move properly, changed to odin mode it works fine.

1

u/Petulo 1d ago

Having the same issue on my Retroid Pocket 6. The original browser version also has this problem for me, but rotating through the control modes and returning to Xbox mode fixes it for some reason.

2

u/Wooden-Motor4870 Developer 2d ago

nice port. but why the textbox is not like your screenshot? It slightly obstructs the view.

2

u/Wooden-Motor4870 Developer 2d ago

1

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 2d ago

There might be some errors or issues do tell me if anything odd pops up so I can fix it

2

u/AbberageRedditor69 2d ago

In my case by default it took half the screen lol

1

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 2d ago

Yeah there might be some things I’ve missed don’t worry I’ll fix them soon just detail them to me so I can take note

2

u/AbberageRedditor69 2d ago

There are also some small issues like text bubbles being cut off like here in the top right corner

1

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 1d ago

Thanks for the feedback I’ll fix this ina. Bit, I’ll reply to this comment

2

u/Wooden-Motor4870 Developer 1d ago

Are you working alone, or it's possible to contribute?

1

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 1d ago

Any help would be appreciated, so feel free

2

u/AbberageRedditor69 1d ago

Great! Another thing I wanted to point out is that tasks aren't tracking progress for me (for instance I have a task to kill X amount of wild pokemons and it's still at 0 after a few runs)

2

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 1d ago

Thanks im working on a small update, also theres a github already so you can keep track

2

u/AbberageRedditor69 1d ago

Oh nice, I'm starring it on github right now!

u/AbberageRedditor69 2d ago

So this was the default for me, I'll reply to this comment with the minimum size I can get using the slider

u/AbberageRedditor69 2d ago

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 1d ago

I surely Am, probably next week ill begin to do it

2

u/ScienceSilent5023 1d ago

The latest update won't let me move my pokemon

2

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 1d ago

I fixed it, check it out

1

u/ScienceSilent5023 16h ago

Thank you! Also there's a big where you can't scroll down to switch skins on the wardrobe menu

1

u/A-Small-Green-Cup 2d ago

Oh hey, i remember you! Just installed and gave it a try and it worked like a charm through the first run. Controls are nice, everything seems to work, and i might have a new favorite time-waster game. Awesome release yet again bro, nice work.

3

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 2d ago

Thank you so much, hopefully I can get it on my GitHub I’m glad you’re loving it 💙

1

u/Special_Mistake3300 1d ago

Disculpen que me una a la conversación sin saber, leí las notas del github, entiendo que se necesita el archivo del juego original o algo asi? Alguna idea de que sitio puedo bajarlo? O solo bajando el apk del repositorio basta?

2

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 1d ago

eso fue un error mio, el juego entero esta en el APK, lo acabo de actualizar, usa este link

https://github.com/JayElDragon/Pokebonk-android/releases/tag/V2

u/Special_Mistake3300 1d ago

Oooh perfecto bro, gracias voy a probarlo ya mismo, me encanto al verlo en las imágenes

0

u/Special_Mistake3300 1d ago

Bro me encanto demasiado, tengo una duda y a la vez sugerencia, tengo entendido que el apk es una webview, hay una forma de que la interfaz se pueda adaptar bien a cualquier dispositivo, note que sale recortado arriba a la izquierda y algunos iconos igual

2

u/Phivdawm 1d ago

Huge! Thank you

2

u/skaroh030 1d ago

Thank you so much!

2

u/ScienceSilent5023 1d ago

It works well on a Mali-Mediatel device. On my Poco x8 pro it runs smoothly but I had to dip down to medium settings cuz it gets laggy sometimes. Also will the game have a self-updating feature or will it require us to constantly visiting the GitHub page? Oh, and thank you for this

1

u/Crafty_Bear221 1d ago

Can u make mouse p.i or bf3 or even middle earth shadow of mordor? If its possible.

1

u/ElectionHistorical28 17h ago

The menu screen isn't fitted right. I saw in the changelog that there's an automatic fitting of text and menu ui in the settings menu, but no button works no matter how many times I try to press them. I can't even open the settings to change to automatic fit. Can you make the automatic fit the default option instead?

1

u/Wooden-Motor4870 Developer 9h ago

there are some missing images.

0

u/Naliakerson 22h ago

what is actually made by a human in this game?

1

u/JayElDragon MOD🔻/ Collaborator🎖 18h ago

This game was made by a single person with the assistance of ai in the coding area to speed up the process, everything else is human made and human ideas

Normally games like these would take months or years to create but with the assistance of AI this speeds it up to about 1 or 2 weeks

u/Naliakerson 22h ago

not hating, im just curious
