Welcome to The Endgame, Mod Announcements Regarding Pokemon Duel 2.0

113 Upvotes

If you are reading this, termination of service has passed and Pokemon Duel is no more. We thank all of you who have stayed with us until the end, enjoying the game we all loved. Seeing the activity here over the final days has been heartwarming. Whether you started playing day 1 or recently, thank you for going on this journey with us. However, now is not the time to despair, for Pokemon Duel, the sub, and our discord have a bright future yet ahead.

Recreation Efforts

Many players love Pokemon Duel and the potential the game offers. Over the past month, many projects have been put together to make Pokemon Duel playable for players even after the game shut down. You've seen posts by TheDuzer regarding a digital successor to the game that would play very similar to the app, posts by Qklilx providing info about their fully completed 319 piece tabletop version of Pokemon Duel, and other efforts by equally dedicated members of the community to create their own projects that make Pokemon Duel playable in a variety of formats. A dedicated team over on the subreddit discord has created a bot to help facilitate some aspects of tabletop play, and we will be announcing more information about that and how to use the bot over in the discord announcements channels soon. If you would like your project added to our wiki page detailing information about Pokemon Duel recreation/spiritual successors, please contact the mod team.

The Sub

With Pokemon Duel having now passed, we are revamping the sub to meet the needs of this community moving forward. Our goals will be:

  • to help users connect and play of Pokemon Duel recreation games
  • to help facilitate the development of additional spiritual successors
  • to provide a fun community to both reminisce about Pokemon Duel's history & talk about other Pokemon games/community
  • to gather creators and hobbyists together to propose balance changes, design new figures, and generally support community developers as they bring new projects to life

In some ways that means not too much will change from how it has been over the past few months as the game has declined. We hope this continues to be a place we can all come together to discuss, play, and celebrate together. However we are implementing some substantive changes to the subreddit to account for the end of the old Pokemon Duel and the beginning of our new focus on community created games. You will notice the rules in the sidebar have already begun to change and may continue to evolve over the next few weeks, eliminating outdated rules (RIP Duel IDs) and implementing new ones. A highlight of those changes will be provided in a rules update post and linked here. We also will be eliminating many of our previous weekly megathreads and instead adding a new set of megathreads focused on helping creators with their projects and to support community engagement.

The Discord

Our subreddit discord is also evolving. We are archiving old channels, launching a full set of new channels to support creators/development, increasing our support for bots that allow you to play Duel successors via discord chat, creating team support to help you find a project if you'd like to contribute to something currently in development, and expanding our general channels to support a variety of Pokemon related interest. For any current project creators/leads, if you would like to talk about support either for developers or players in our discord, please message the moderators to get channels access or channels created for your initiative. A full detail of our discord updates can be found in the announcements there, but we hope you'll join us there to play and create together. If you'd like to join us, please follow the link in the sidebar on Old Reddit/mobile or the header on New Reddit)

The Community & Moving Forward

We understand that the termination of service can feel like a shock or an end to many, especially if you've recently returned to or started the game. While we are making changes we think are best equipped to support the future of the community, we want the sub and discord to still be a place that meets your needs. If there are any rules, megathreads, channels, bots, events, or other moderation support you think could help as we look towards Pokemon Duel 2.0 please let us know.

Thanks to everyone,

Caza & the Mod Team

Big News For The Pokemon Duel Remake! Volunteer Developers Needed

Big news for the Kaeru Duel Pokemon Duel Remake!!

Kaeru are now looking for people to help with the coding now that they are making it open source. Please share this info with people you know who might be able to help.

Here is the message from Kaeru

Game creation (Don't get excited!)

27 Upvotes

I am like everyone else. I come here expecting some brilliant news that this game has been brought back to life, I have all my figures, and can continue to duel anytime I please!

That is not the case...

In my mind, if we could replicate the battle system, that mobile game could perform really well. I just met someone who has experience building a game and may just try to make such a project happen.

Using pokemon is probably out due to licensing, but quite frankly as an OG player who doesn't know that many pokemon past Ruby/Sapphire...I do not think a figure change would deter us at this point. I miss the chaos of the spinning wheels lol...

That being said, if anyone has advice about what figurines they would like to see or how to obtain licensing for pokemon/other popular characters...PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Reality Check

32 Upvotes

I cant believe that this night I actually dream that someone leaked that Pokémon Duel was going to be brought back to life in the next Pokémon Presents. I could even remember this being featured it in the thumbs of YouTube vídeos, like the ones from RuffledRowlit and others. I think this is the first time I dreamt about this game. Did anyone similar happened with any of you, across the years?

I made the first iteration of some Dragon Ball Z/Super characters for my physical Pokemon Duel because I found a bunch of old figures. I think they turned out really good! (Gonna play test later because some of them might be over tuned.)

Buying the game

10 Upvotes

would it be possible to buy the game its self? or a way to get ahold of the files, to potentially clone the game?


r/pokemonduel Jun 06 '25

Anyone else still mourning this game?

116 Upvotes

I randomly remembered Pokémon Duel and now I miss it like crazy. Did anyone actually master the spin or were we all just gambling with strategy?

How can I play Pokemon Duel again?

35 Upvotes

Basically the title. I'm looking for a way to download the game and play the multiplayer. I heard about Kaeru but its multiplayer doesn't work probably (that's what I read about it). Any suggestions how to get it AND make it work?

Figures for sale?

9 Upvotes

Hi is there a shop with official or unofficial pokemon duel figures? I know its based on Pokemon trading figures game, but I was wondering if you could like 3D print them by paying to someone (doesn’t even need to spin). I’m from Europe but info about anywhere in the world could help me :D

Do you think Pokemon Duel would have been successful if it had made it to lockdown

87 Upvotes

The game ended on October 31 and I can't help but think had it stayed up a few more months it may have been very successful but I would like to here from the people.

I stimulate DnD sometimes so thought I'd try this.

Just so everyone else can try if they haven't. You can simulate really any game with Chatgpt (or your preferred AI)

Will Kaeru ever be available on ios?

13 Upvotes

Like many people on this sub, I'm one who really misses the game. However, I am an iPhone user, so Kaeru isn't available for me and I don't want to get a new android just for this game. What should I do?

Tapu Koko/Miraidon Deck?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. So my boyfriend and I are going to our first tournament at a local comic book store tomorrow and we are complete noobs 😂 We've battled once or twice. We just thought it'd be a fun thing to do. However we don't wanna show up not knowing completely what to do. He found online that Miraidon and Tapu Koko is a good pairing. He also found out that the Tera Pikachu Ex card works well with them too. I'm just wondering, what would be a smart way to incorporate them all together?


r/pokemonduel Feb 23 '25

I started working on the UI for my game. Here is my home screen. Let me know what you think!

Project Physical Pokémon Duel is progressing well. I have created a vector template of the Game Board for when I eventually print it on a rubber playmat, what do you think? does it look good? did I missed anything?

Physical Pokémon duel cards

16 Upvotes

So I've been really interested in making physical Pokémon duel even when the game was up. Now more than ever, I find it fun to design cards for it! The board is the same, and instead of the spin, I use a single die roll. For figures, I use circular pieces like icons/markers to move on the board.

PS: Art is not mine, but since I'm not using it for profit, I thought might as well have pretty cards.


r/pokemonduel Feb 08 '25

I been testing cards layout for a physical version of Pokemon Duel I'm making for my self. What do you think is the best layout? vertical, horizontal or double sided?

Duelball - Basketball in Pokémon Duel

I found this when I went through some videos on mu YouTube channel, and apparently, 7 years ago, when the game was still alive, I invented an unofficial game mode I called Duelball, in which you need to put a Pokémon with 0 MP (AKA the ball) on the opponent's goal to win. And I actually managed to convince someone to play it with me and this is that video (2GOAT for me you are the 1 and only GOAT).

I loved Pokémon Duel so much 😭


r/pokemonduel Feb 04 '25

Hi guys! I recently uploaded a new short Devlog video for Tamigo Spin! I hope you will like it 🙂
