Pokemon Battlegrounds
A fan-made animated series of real-time Pokemon battles, hand-drawn in pixel art. No turns - Pokemon dodge, guard and clash using real base stats and type matchups, while both trainers pick moves and switches on their own.

Pokemon Battlegrounds is a video series, not a game. If you searched it expecting something playable, there is no download or browser build - the project is a YouTube animation channel. Every released battle is embedded below so you can watch without leaving this page.
Every battle so far
The series is young - these are all the published fights. New matchups are voted on in the channel comments.
Brendan vs Steven
Full 6v6 battle in Meteor Falls - the flagship fight that put the channel on the map.
Red vs Gold
Full 6v6 battle on Mt. Silver - the Gen 1 vs Gen 2 protagonist showdown.
Sceptile vs Gengar
A single-Pokemon duel on Mt. Pyre - shorter format, focused on move-by-move reads.
Why people are searching it
Three things make it different from a normal Pokemon battle video.
Real-time, not turn-based
Pokemon move, dodge, guard and clash live. Positioning and timing matter the way they never can in a turn-based clip.
Every move hand-made
Each Pokemon gets its own custom-animated moves in pixel art - no reused engine footage.
Trainers that think
Both sides choose moves, switches and timing like real players. It reads like a VOD of two skilled battlers, not a scripted cutscene.
