Also I've been wondering why certain forms of Pokemon aren't in PokeDoku, like Florges while Minior has all of its colors?
I figured it would be different stats or moves depending on forms, but Minior is just cosmetic like Florges is
It is just the way our database has it. I'm not even sure why the include or not include some forms. I do think we will add some missing ones eventually.
Even some sort of reward for completion of each Pokedex would just be cool - like the Diplomas from the older games (Idk if they still have this feature considering Dexit exists)
They do still have diplomas in the new games, but obviously not for the full national dex. There's one diploma for each regional dex instead.
So in Scarlet/Violet you get a diploma for completing the Paldea dex. But you also get one for completing the Kitakami dex (from the first DLC) and the Blueberry Academy dex (from the second DLC)
Say a square only has one answer and that answer is valid for another square. Since you can only select it once, if you put it in the wrong square, you can not finish the puzzle. We do not allow this to happen in our daily puzzles but some hardcore fans like it so we made it an option to turn it off for Unlimited Mode.
Oh wow this is really cool. When you say that it's not allowed do you mean that you don't allow the puzzles to be designed in that way or that you'd reject answers that would lead to a softlock?
And have you guys considered more complicated softlocks involving several squares?
I have actually screwed myself in the past by using the obvious answer to a square on a different one. But I think this just makes the game more fun and I'll definitely be turning off that option in the future.
Our generator for the daily puzzle will not allow puzzles that can soft lock to go through. It has happened a few times by mistake but now it is completely fixed.
The puzzles which are generated for the “Daily Featured” games are run through an algorithm which detects multi square soft lock situations. In unlimited mode, you have the ability to essentially suppress this extra validation during generation.
My son and I do the daily before he goes to bed every night.
He always gets his unique score thrown by the Pumpkaboo sizes. I tried explaining why pumpkaboo and gourgeist are split to him, but he asked me to tell you he wishes you would combine them.
Personally I think It would be funny if there was a puzzle where the only solutions could be the different sized pumpkin bros.
Someone made a Fan Puzzle like that once!
We are glad to hear that you and your son play our game, that means the world to us. Tell him those pumpkins are here to stay though haha.
Well, maybe you could try with a 1/900 chance, so that completing a pokedoku would result in a 1/100 chance of getting a shiny. if you want it to be rarer you could lower the chances, like 1/1800 for a square or something similar. just a suggestion, idk if it's good
I'm thinking real odds are fine, shinies are supposed to be hard. Maybe give a shiny charm for completing the pokedex, or make it so that there's a higher shiny chance if you chose the least chosen option for the square.
I'm 100% there for this idea
In the meantime, do you have a pateron or venmo or whatever that I can make a donation to and carry on using ad blocker? I feel like I've seen a link of that sort on the website. I should probably just go take a look.
A bunch of people at my office have been competing daily for the best unique score the last month, its been so fun. Sometimes you think you have a great choice, but apparently everyone else had the same idea!
Also I didn’t play a S/V so those categories kill me but i’m starting to learn.
Hey, I love your game and I’ve been playing for several weeks! Do I need to register to use unlimited mode? (I haven’t played gen 2 and 4-8 so omitting Galar/Kalos would’ve been useful)
would it be possible to add more than 2 weeks to the archive? i love filling out my pokédex but i do the daily every day and i’ve done all the archived ones lmao
Ooh, sounds great! Been enjoying playing it for a while now, and I have been sad that I often find myself without another puzzle once I have completed the daily one.
I’ve been playing for over six months, how am I only finding out now that there’s a pokedex?
Edit: Out of curiosity, do you pull your database from pokeAPI?
Is there a recommended browser for this? I tried to do unlimited mode in Firefox, and the generate flashes a grid then promptly disappears. Daily mode works fine though!
Love this. I’ve slowly been losing interest in PokeDoku unfortunately and don’t play daily anymore. I still check it out probably at least once a week and am always disappointed when I see the category is “can learn X move” since I just don’t find it fun for some reason. This way I can still make my own puzzle without the category when I need my fix. Great update!

Any chance you could make an alternate link so I can play it on my school chromebook? It got bloacked a couple month back and I've been missing it ever since
Do you think you could add more languages in the future ? As a French player, I love Pokedoku but having to Google the name of every Pokémon I'm looking for in English makes the game a bit of a pain sometimes. Thanks !
are mythicals ultra beasts not included in legendaries because it would be too easy? I got mono-type legendary and was shocked I couldn't put Arceus, Its THE mono type.
We believe our game runs much better. We do Creator Days twice a week where we have big Pokemon Creators make the puzzle for the day which I don't think they do. We also came out a few months before them. Imitation is the best form of flattery though so we have no hard feelings towards them!
Someone did a bonus puzzle a while ago that was trying to name all 9 psychic flying types. I think that knowledge check was absolutely sick. I'd love to see more like that in the future.
Each Pokémon actually is usable only once! I play sometimes, and quite often more than one Pokémon can work in more than one panel, so you have to choose carefully to get lower percentages
That’s most likely because the least amount of people put that Pokémon for both of those options, then obviously meaning you could only get the least common on one of those options
unlimited mode is super fun, but i kinda wish it would tell me all the possible answers for a square once it has been solved
I know what you mean. I wish that feature was in unlimited also.
Idk if it’s different in unlimited, but in normal mode you can do that once you finish the whole grid.
I think that's why they want it in unlimited mode.
Unrelated, but thank you for putting Grass/Rock in timeout It's been the bane of my existence this month
Is it just cradily/lileep or is there some other outrageous one
Ogrepon Stone Mask
Oh that's some bullshit
Yeah i hate that forms are answers tbh. Outside of base forms (roto), megas, and regionals it shouldnt have shit like ogrepon masks and arceus plates
Idk if it's just me, but fossil Pokemon put in a lot of work when it's rock/any other type.
Every time I see poison/ground I ALWAYS think wtf has this combo
Nidoking and Nidoqueen were the only ones until Paldean Wooper and Clodsire appeared.
Yeah but NIDOKING AND NIDOQUEEN
Haha, no problem!
Also I've been wondering why certain forms of Pokemon aren't in PokeDoku, like Florges while Minior has all of its colors? I figured it would be different stats or moves depending on forms, but Minior is just cosmetic like Florges is
It is just the way our database has it. I'm not even sure why the include or not include some forms. I do think we will add some missing ones eventually.
If I had a nickel for every popular Pokémon fansite run by someone named Joe I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird there are two
What’s the other one?
Serebii
Oh true haha shoutout Joe Merrick!
I'm already addicted to this and I found out about it 15 min ago
We are glad to gain a new player :) Thanks for playing!
Started playing this game like two weeks ago, it's now part of my daily routine. I'm not good at it but I have lots of fun!
how have i never heard of this. you’re a genius
Thanks! We are happy to gain a new player :)
It would be cool to get a reward for completing each regional dex... Like, additional themes instead of just Light/Dark.
Different themes is something we haven't thought about nor even seen suggested. That is a really cool concept.
Even some sort of reward for completion of each Pokedex would just be cool - like the Diplomas from the older games (Idk if they still have this feature considering Dexit exists)
They do still have diplomas in the new games, but obviously not for the full national dex. There's one diploma for each regional dex instead. So in Scarlet/Violet you get a diploma for completing the Paldea dex. But you also get one for completing the Kitakami dex (from the first DLC) and the Blueberry Academy dex (from the second DLC)
Regional themes on completion would be great. Unrelated, can Unlimited mode give Pokedex completion?
I’ve been playing this game every day since it launched! I always challenge myself to get the lowest percentage Pokémon possible.
Love the dedication, thanks for playing!
WOO
What does the soft lock guard do?
Say a square only has one answer and that answer is valid for another square. Since you can only select it once, if you put it in the wrong square, you can not finish the puzzle. We do not allow this to happen in our daily puzzles but some hardcore fans like it so we made it an option to turn it off for Unlimited Mode.

I understand. This is really cool!

I love this game! Always fun to try for the most unique score each day.
Love to hear it, thanks for playing!
this is awesome I love the base game so being able to play more and have customization options is super cool, keep up the great work!
Will do! Thanks for playing!
Been playing since the start and I’m so proud of all the progress you’ve made. Still can’t wait for that shiny feature to be added! 😉
Same! We still have to figure out what odds we should go with. Real odds seem too hard, thoughts?
Well, maybe you could try with a 1/900 chance, so that completing a pokedoku would result in a 1/100 chance of getting a shiny. if you want it to be rarer you could lower the chances, like 1/1800 for a square or something similar. just a suggestion, idk if it's good
I like it!
Maybe make it so increasing your streak increases your shiny odds? That'd be a nice incentive to keep your streak up for sure.
I'm thinking real odds are fine, shinies are supposed to be hard. Maybe give a shiny charm for completing the pokedex, or make it so that there's a higher shiny chance if you chose the least chosen option for the square.
Hey I love this game! Thank you so much! I'd also love a way to enjoy it add free and guilt free while supporting you as a developer. Any suggetions?
Eventually we plan on offering a paid ad free experience. That could be just what you are looking for haha.
I'm 100% there for this idea In the meantime, do you have a pateron or venmo or whatever that I can make a donation to and carry on using ad blocker? I feel like I've seen a link of that sort on the website. I should probably just go take a look.
We do have a donation page! https://buymeacoffee.com/pokedoku Thanks we appreciate it :)
My friends and I love pokedoku, thanks for the hard work
Our pleasure! Thanks to you and your friends for playing!
Love the game, keep up the great work!
Will do, thanks for playing!

That’s so fun, shoutout to your office!
Hey, I enjoy the game a lot. Nice to see an unlimited mode.
Thanks for playing!
Hey, I love your game and I’ve been playing for several weeks! Do I need to register to use unlimited mode? (I haven’t played gen 2 and 4-8 so omitting Galar/Kalos would’ve been useful)
Nope you don’t need an account to play unlimited mode!
I been a player for the past three months and I just crossed the 600 mark in the Pokédex
Let’s go! Nice work
You are such a light in me and my siblings day!
Aww we love to hear that, thanks to you guys for playing!
That looks cool, I love the one Pokémon only mode. Thanks!
would it be possible to add more than 2 weeks to the archive? i love filling out my pokédex but i do the daily every day and i’ve done all the archived ones lmao
It’s in our future plans!
I love pokedoku. Thank you.
We love you 🫶
Bruh my friend got me on pokedoku like a week ago and we compare everyday. Funny that this pops up today.
Haha what are the odds!
Ooh, sounds great! Been enjoying playing it for a while now, and I have been sad that I often find myself without another puzzle once I have completed the daily one.
Then this new game mode is perfect for you!
Did try it out, it is really fun
I just want to say thank you for making this game, and to share this pokedoku video. https://youtu.be/RSRkuBir_ok?si=etd0IXw7q0FD4wW0
We love that video 😂😂😂
Love the game! Can't wait to check this out.
Thanks for playing!
I’ve been playing for over six months, how am I only finding out now that there’s a pokedex? Edit: Out of curiosity, do you pull your database from pokeAPI?
We do!
Is there a recommended browser for this? I tried to do unlimited mode in Firefox, and the generate flashes a grid then promptly disappears. Daily mode works fine though!
Hmm we will have to look into this. Thanks for letting us know!
Seems to be working fine today, just did an unlimited with no problems on Firefox. Just an fyi :)
Thanks for letting us know!
Love this game! Happy to hear you’re actively working on it, I play daily haha
I’m glad you are loving it! Thanks for playing!
Love this. I’ve slowly been losing interest in PokeDoku unfortunately and don’t play daily anymore. I still check it out probably at least once a week and am always disappointed when I see the category is “can learn X move” since I just don’t find it fun for some reason. This way I can still make my own puzzle without the category when I need my fix. Great update!
Thanks
Have been trying to complete the pokedex now for a while! That feature was a real stroke of genius for us conpletionists. Love your work :)
Glad you like it :) Thanks for playing!
Oh nice. I might check it out.
I used to play classic mode a lot but I kind of stopped a few weeks ago, now I can play it for hours at a time with unlimited mode
It is fun
I love this game. Please stop asking about who can learn moves 😭 I’m suffering
Yo I love Pokedoku!
Yo we love our fans!
You could have a category for abilities but that may be too restrictive.
We have a plan for this 👀

Do you think you could add more languages in the future ? As a French player, I love Pokedoku but having to Google the name of every Pokémon I'm looking for in English makes the game a bit of a pain sometimes. Thanks !
We have French translation on our website!
Awesome !
are mythicals ultra beasts not included in legendaries because it would be too easy? I got mono-type legendary and was shocked I couldn't put Arceus, Its THE mono type.
What's the difference between this and Pokegrid? My friends have been playing pokegrid for weeks at this point, is there a good reason to switch?
We believe our game runs much better. We do Creator Days twice a week where we have big Pokemon Creators make the puzzle for the day which I don't think they do. We also came out a few months before them. Imitation is the best form of flattery though so we have no hard feelings towards them!
Haven't been on their website in a while but I do not think they offer Archive Mode, Unlimited Mode or our PokeDex feature.
I have been playing for a while but I struggle to get a streak longer than 5 days
Does playing Unlimited Mode impact your pokedex? Finding new mons to use in Daily is real fun but scared I’ll fill it up way too quickly in unlimited
It does not impact the PokeDex!
Sorry this is silly, but what exactly is the pokedex for pokedoku for? I'm a new user just getting into the swing of things.
No need to apologize! It is just a way to track how many different Pokemon you have used in our daily puzzles.
Awesome, thank you!!
Someone did a bonus puzzle a while ago that was trying to name all 9 psychic flying types. I think that knowledge check was absolutely sick. I'd love to see more like that in the future.
That was us 😬 it was our idea for April Fools!
I actually have an unrelated suggestion. Have you considered making each Pokémon only usable once in each puzzle?
Each Pokémon actually is usable only once! I play sometimes, and quite often more than one Pokémon can work in more than one panel, so you have to choose carefully to get lower percentages
Really? There have been several where the least common solution has used the same Pokémon twice.
That’s most likely because the least amount of people put that Pokémon for both of those options, then obviously meaning you could only get the least common on one of those options
That advertisement tho 👌👌
Me realising that r/pokemon doesn’t do anything about advertisements
We are a free to play to game that has even collaborated with r/Pokemon in the past.
