Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A desktop app and ESP32 firmware let players trade, send Mystery Gifts, and join raids with seven retail Pokémon games, without installing anything on the console.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-14 issue.

For: Pokémon players with an ESP32 board and a desktop computer
Worth noticing: Its compatibility table distinguishes offline-tested features from retail-console tests, untried cases, unfinished work, and game modes that do not exist.

Field notes

The app handles board flashing and runs tools with settings the site describes as tested. Listed inputs include .wc3, .wc8, and .pokegift files for Mystery Gifts, plus .pokemacro files for controller macros. The page says legal Pokémon are built and checked with PKHeX.Core; its compatibility table separately labels offline tests, retail-console tests, unfinished features, and unsupported game modes.
