Pocket World Online

Pocket World Online

Closed beta · starting in November

Catch creatures, train your team and cross the region by land, sea and sky alongside thousands of trainers. Free to play, never pay-to-win.

The game

One partner. A whole region ahead.

Pocket World Online is a free creature-catching MMORPG. Pick your first partner at the lab, take your first steps down the route, and the rest is up to you: gyms, caves, the sea and the sky. Everyone shares one world, so the trainer flying overhead is another player.

Features

Everything you see here is in the beta

No renders, no concept art: every clip was recorded in the game, on our server.

Battles

Real-time battles, no turns

Your partner fights on the map while you move, with moves fired straight from your keyboard. Wear the wild one down, pick the right ball and it is yours.

  • Moves, types and status effects
  • Every ball with its own catch rate
  • Rare shinies, recorded apart

Mounts

By land, sea and sky

Call the right partner and the map changes size. Ride the long roads, surf the open sea and fly over all of it, with the whole region below you.

  • Ride, Surf and Fly
  • The whole region seen from above
  • Your look shows, even mid-flight

Gyms

Eight badges. Then the League.

Every gym is a challenge of your own: the puzzle, the trainers and the Leader waiting at the end. With all eight badges, take on the League and carve your name into the Hall of Fame.

  • One challenger at a time
  • A clear-time ranking per gym
  • The full main story, up to the Champion

Professions

Seven professions to live off what you gather

Fish, mine, forage, track and craft. Each profession climbs to level 50, and everything you make is currency on the player market.

  • Every area and rod catches something different
  • Tools that wear out and break
  • An economy run by players

Dungeons

Go down to the boss

Mystery dungeons, floor by floor, each one harder than the last. At the bottom, a boss. Bring your best team, and ideally a friend.

  • Floors that get more dangerous
  • A boss fight at the end
  • Rewards that match the risk

Evolution

Watch your team evolve

By level, by stone or by trade, with a full-screen moment to match. The compendium records every species you meet: types, stats and where to find it.

  • Level, stone and trade evolutions
  • A compendium of every species
  • Talents and a move tree per creature

Exploration

Clear the way and find what is hidden

Cut the tree blocking the trail, smash the rock in the way, dig where nobody looked and step off the main road: treasure chests wait for whoever explores.

  • Cut, Rock Smash and Dig on the map
  • Paths only a partner can open
  • Treasure chests off the road

And there is more

  • Pocket Arena: an auto-battler mode with its own board
  • Houses to buy and decorate
  • Trainer Mastery beyond level 100
  • A held item for every creature
  • Skin, hair, clothes and four cosmetic slots
  • A player market, guilds and server events

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question?

Ask on Discord, where the community and the team answer, or open a ticket with support.

01How do I get into the closed beta?

Create a free account and confirm your email: that puts you in line. Starting in November we let players in by waves and email you when it is your turn. An invite code from a friend or a creator gets you in right away.

02Is the game really free?

Yes. Downloading, making an account and playing everything in the game costs nothing. The store sells cosmetics, conveniences and account services.

03Is there pay-to-win?

No. Nothing bought with real money raises damage, catch rate or progression speed, or unlocks content.

04Will I lose my progress after the beta?

Characters start fresh at launch on February 27, so everyone sets off together. Your account stays, and so does the Beta Tester title.

05Can I stream or record the beta?

Please do. There is no NDA: stream it, record it, bring your friends.

06What do I need to play?

A Windows, macOS or Linux computer, or an Android phone. The game runs well even on modest machines.

07Do I lose my items when I die?

No. Dying costs experience, and that is it: no items, and nothing from your team.
