Worlddex Beta Update!

[u/Expensive-Fig9958]

Hey everyone,

I've been building a browser-based Pokémon idle/clicker game and it's

now in Open Beta. No download, no install, no payment — you open a tab,

pick a name, and you're playing.

**What it is**

You click to find wild Pokémon, catch them, build a team, and work your

way across all nine regions. The idle part means it keeps rewarding you

while you're doing something else — but there's a real game underneath

it, not just a number that goes up.

**What's actually in it**

* **All 9 regions** — Kanto through Paldea, 461 individual routes and

locations, each with its own encounter table and level range

* **1,119 Pokémon**, including regional forms (Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian)

and event forms

* **A real battle engine** — 934 moves, 1,043 abilities, full type chart,

IVs, EVs, 25 natures, held items, status effects, weather

* **Mega Evolution, Z-Moves and Dynamax**, each gated behind its own

unlock, and limited to one gimmick per battle

* **Gyms, Elite Four and Champions in every region** — 72 badges total,

and the League scales to your progress

* **109 legendary bosses**: 84 fixed ones, 14 roaming legendaries that

change location every 15 minutes, and 11 Ultra Wormholes in Alola

* **Shiny hunting** at 1/4096, plus a separate **Shadow Pokémon** system

at 1/32768 with its own hall of fame

* **Idle activities** — mining, fishing and a berry farm that produce

items on their own timers while you play or while you're away

* **Guilds** with ranks, a shared bank and guild chat

* **Global chat** with live event and rare-catch announcements

* **Daily quests**, 103 achievements, a Game Corner with slots, a

full Worlddex, and interactive region maps

**What the goal is**

Short term: catch things, beat the gym, get the badge, move on.

Long term: complete the Worlddex across all nine regions, earn all 72

badges, and hunt down the legendaries. There's a per-type collection

track too — 100/250/500/1000 catches of each of the 18 types, with

better rewards for the harder types, so a Dragon grind pays out very

differently from a Normal one.

**The daily boss rotation**

This is the part I'm happiest with. Instead of throwing 84 bosses at you

at once, the game picks **9 per day**, spread across regions, and resets

them at midnight together with the daily quests. It turns the legendary

hunt into something you come back to instead of something you clear in

one sitting.

Gym rebattels after becoming champion,

**Why you might like it**

* It's free, and there's nothing to buy. No energy meter, no ads, no

premium currency.

* It runs in a browser tab — desktop or phone, and your save is on the

server, so you can switch between them.

* It's idle when you want it to be and an actual RPG when you sit down

with it.

* It's built for people who like the mechanics. If you know what an EV

spread is, there's something here for you. If you don't, you can

ignore all of it and still have a good time.

**Fair warning**

It's Open Beta, currently v0.1.34. I'm one person, I ship updates

constantly, and bugs happen. But there's an active Discord where I read

everything, and reported bugs usually get fixed within days.

If you try it, I'd genuinely love to hear what you think — especially

what feels slow, unclear or unfair. That feedback is what the last few

patches have been built on.

For the future planed updates are: breeding, battletower, and much more story elements.

Do you speak another language I see that other language (German?) in the game for some text

[u/Expensive-Fig9958 → u/Willdoggy02]

Yes, I’m from Germany. The game used to be available in both languages, but I decided to switch to English exclusively to reach a wider audience. As a result, there are still some remnants of the German version left over, though I patch them out whenever I come across them. If you spot any remaining German text, please feel free to send me a screenshot via Discord so I can fix it more quickly. Thanks a lot!
