Website

The website required the use of browser cookies to access full functionality and let the user save their progress between visits. If cookies were disabled, the player could play the minigames but not be on a Trainer Team or collect badges. Upon entering a name, the player selected a companion Pokémon and was placed in a Trainer Team at random.

The main menu consisted of four sections, and access to the Games area. Trainer Zone allowed players to see their statistics, including how many Pokémon they have collected, and how long they have played each game. Badges served as a Pokédex to show off Pokémon Badges collected, Achievements, and Missions. Rewards allowed the player to spin the wheel daily and earn rewards. Team Races was a daily event where each team competed to collect the most Razz Berries from playing games to win Badge Pouches. Players could open Badge Pouches by completing certain achievements and tasks. Badge Pouches awarded an assortment of Pokémon Badges which were added to the Badge collection.

The companion Pokémon could be changed to any whose badge the player has collected. The list of companion Pokémon that could be chosen at the beginning were:

Teams

  • Fire
  • Electric
  • Water
  • Grass

Games

Relay Ridge

 
Relay Ridge

Relay Ridge was an obstacle course game where the player guided the Pokémon through the course to get as far as possible while avoiding obstacles such as trees and icicles. The player had three lives, which refilled when the Pokémon swapped out at checkpoints. Razz Berries could be collected on the course, as well as charge icons. Three charge icons would cause the Pokémon to boost forward and be invincible for a short time.

  • 10 Razz Berries = Common Pouch
  • 30 Razz Berries = Rare Pouch
  • 45 Razz Berries = Epic Pouch

Snow Holes

 
Snow Holes

Snow Holes was a whack-a-mole game, where the player had to tap on Diglett and Dugtrio that popped out of the snow holes. Each Diglett or Dugtrio would require a certain number of clicks. Each Diglett and Dugtrio gave the player one Razz Berry. A bonus round was awarded for a short period if Dugtrio was clicked, and players could then click on Pokémon that were the type shown to earn berries. If the player clicked a Pokémon that was not of this type, the bonus period ended. Occasionally, a Pokémon would move across the screen and, if not tapped, attack the player. The player could also collect charge icons to fill the charge meter. Once the meter is full, for a short period, all Diglett, Dugtrio and items would be tapped automatically.

Not being able to tap a Diglett or Dugtrio in time caused the player to lose a life. Tapping a spiked ice ball would also cause loss of a life. The player could regain lives by tapping on heart icons that occasionally surfaced. The game ended when all three lives were lost.

Battle Dunk

 
Battle Dunk

Battle Dunk was a game with the goal of knocking as many enemy Pokémon out of the arena as the player could. Knocking a Pokémon out of the arena gave 3 berries. Various obstacles could appear that tried to knock the player and enemy Pokémon out of the arena. Other Pokémon might also appear on the screen to distract the player. The player could collect charge icons, and once the charge meter was filled, lightning would knock the enemy Pokémon out leaving behind a pool of Razz Berries for the player to collect.

The player would lose a life by being knocked out of the arena or by being struck by ice obstacles. The player could collect heart icons to regain lives. Once the player lost all three lives, the game ended.

Waterfall Crossing

 
Waterfall Crossing

In Waterfall Crossing, the player helped Pokémon safely cross the river by bouncing them across on a raft. The player earnt one Razz Berry each time a Pokémon was transported across. If the player bounced a Jigglypuff across, the Jigglypuff would cause the player's Pokémon to go to sleep. The player was able to wake the Pokémon by selecting 1, 2, and 3 in the correct order. Doing so successfully would earn the player 10 Razz Berries. The player could also transport across charge icons to fill the charge meter. Once the meter was full, the player was rewarded with a shower of berries which the player could collect. The player might also bounce berries to add to their berry total.

The player lost a life for each Pokémon they were unable to save. Getting struck by falling ice also caused the player to lose a life. The game ended when the player lost all three lifes. The player could gain extra life by bouncing across a heart icon.
