mattyflexx's pokeslots (v4.0.0) Mega Evolutions, Sinnoh, Leaderboard, and more!
HOW TO PLAY POKÉSLOTS
THE BASICS
1. Spin & Catch
Click SPIN to rotate the reels.
- Match 3: If you land on three of the same Pokémon, you catch it!
- Evolution Jackpot: If you land on a full evolution line (e.g., Charmander → Charmeleon → Charizard), you get a massive Coin payout.
- Shiny Hunting: Keep your eyes peeled for sparkles. Shiny Pokémon are rare (1-in-20 chance), but capturing one adds it to your Shiny Dex.
2. Explore the World
Use your Coins to unlock new Biomes (Forests, Caves, Oceans).
- Each Biome contains different Pokémon.
- Check your Pokedex often—if you have gaps, try traveling to a different location!
BOSS BATTLES (New in v3.0!)
Once you have caught every standard Pokémon in a region, the SPIN button will transform into a red BATTLE button. You must defeat the Mythical Boss (Mew, Celebi, Jirachi) to unlock the next Game Cartridge.
Combat Rules:
The reels change from Pokémon to Battle Icons.
- ⚔️ Sword: Deals damage to the Boss.
- 🛡️ Shield: You take recoil damage, but you block the Boss's massive attack.
- 🧪 Potion: Heals your HP.
Tip: If you lose, don't worry! You can try again immediately.
THE BUDDY SYSTEM
Go to your Pokédex and click on any Pokémon you have caught to set it as your Buddy.
- Your Buddy appears in the glass pod on the main screen.
- Watch the Pod: When a 🎁 icon appears, click your buddy to claim a reward (Coins, Rare Candies, or Buffs).
- Evolution: If you find a Rare Candy, your Buddy might evolve into its next form!
SYSTEM MENU
- SHOP: Spend excess coins on cosmetic upgrades like Console Skins, Button Styles, and Reel Designs.
- CARTRIDGES: Switch between Kanto (Gen 1), Johto (Gen 2), and Hoenn (Gen 3) once you unlock them.
- CLOUD SAVE: Create a username/password to sync your progress across devices.
- Note: No email verification required. Just remember your password!
SECRETS & EASTER EGGS
There are hidden modes and a notoriously famous glitch Pokémon buried in the code.
- Ruins of Alph: Rumor has it there is a secret way to enter the Ruins if you have the right Pokémon in your Dex...
- Glitches: Not everything in Pallet Town is as stable as it seems...
CONTROLS
- Mouse/Touch: Click buttons to interact.
- Double-Click: Used for certain secret interactions in the Pokédex.
- Mobile Friendly: The game automatically resizes for vertical phone screens.

I just found this game and have to say that I really enjoy it! One thing that could be improved in my opinion would be the scale. As it is, I have to zoom out to 80% just to have the full slot on screen and then I need to scroll down to see the Pokedex. This isn't a big problem, but I'm curious to see what it'd look like to have the Pokedex next to the slots. This was a really original idea and I look forward to seeing you add to it eventually!
Love the cute game! How do the party mechanics work in battles? And I would love a way to easily view and modify the party composition.
it's a fun game but I'm a bit lost as to how to unlock mega evolutions - I've got dozens of pokemon at max mastery and picking them up again doesn't seem to trigger anything.
Also I don't get how to access the ruins - according to info about pokemon silver gold I think I know which pokemon is required, and there might tbe a need to double click somewhere as it's mentionned as an action that can trigger hidden interactions, but it seems i don't get what I'm supposed to do for the late game.
I think if there could be some other milestones to give a sense of progress between the filling up of the normal and shiny dex and finding late content like mega evolutions that'd be neat.
Sorry for the delay, and thanks for the feedback! I would like to try to figure out what's going on with your game so that if I need to roll out a fix, I can do that.
For mega evolutions --- you should have an option from the dex to mega evolve when you reach mastery (catching 30 of the same species). There should be three buttons (aside from close) --- Buddy, Party, and Mega Evolve (100 coins).
Once you trigger the mega evolution, it should start a 60 second period of automatically spinning, and both the slot and the environment have some animations that only happen while a mega is active.
If you are not seeing the mega evolution button, or if it isn't populating after mastery, I will have to look in to that, just let me know.
To access the ruins, try clicking the unown pokedex entry, and quickly tapping the icon 3X. Let me know if it works for you. Also, try visiting pallet town again and quickly tapping on the town name at the top --- curious to know if that works for you, as well.
Charming and very fun! I love the effort you've put into making this satisfying to play.
Does who you have in your party effect anything? Also, is there a way to remove a pokemon from your party intentionally, so you don't have to cycle through re-adding everyone if the new pokemon accidentally bumps one you wanted in there?
Thank you so much for the feedback! Currently I am out of town on vacation, but when I get home, I will add that functionality and push it out. I think that was on my list of things to do in this last update but it just fell off.
I'll reply to you here when it's done so you can have a first hand look at the impact you made on shaping the user experience.
Hearing that you enjoy it means a great deal to me, thanks so much for taking time out of your day to comment.
Oh, and sorry to have missed your initial question --- currently your buddy does not have any effect. It has crossed my mind but honestly I never came up with the right idea. Any thoughts on it?
Will there be any chance of a desktop version for offline play?
For what it's worth - it's already downloadable in the Itch App, just like any other web game on Itch.
Just wanted to check in and see if you were able to get it downloaded. If not, I can figure out a way to send you the code, just let me know!
