Play PokéPet Desktop on Web

Game Description

PokePet Desktop is a relaxing, nostalgic Pokémon fan game that lives quietly above your taskbar while you work, browse, or study. Instead of demanding your full attention, it keeps you company in the background—until a wild Pokémon suddenly appears on your screen.

When that happens, it’s up to you to react quickly: throw a Poké Ball, try to catch it, and slowly build your Pokédex over time. It’s a cozy, low-pressure experience designed to blend seamlessly into your daily computer use, like a Pokémon companion rather than a traditional game.

A Pokémon Game That Plays While You Work

Inspired by FireRed, Emerald, and HeartGold, PokePet Desktop recreates classic Pokémon encounter mechanics in a modern, minimal format:

Wild Pokémon appear randomly as you use your PC
Encounter rates are tied to real, route-based logic
Capture mechanics closely mirror the original games
Classic Pokémon music plays softly in the background

It’s nostalgic, calming, and designed to never interrupt your workflow.

Desktop App Experience

To fully enjoy the transparent, taskbar-style gameplay:

Desktop app required for real transparency
The web version only simulates the desktop background
The executable allows multitasking while the game runs

Once launched, you can position the game just above your taskbar and let it quietly run.
