Pokémon games don't typically come to PC, but that won't stop PC gamers from making their own.

Pokémon Fusion Generation

Your first Page! Fusion is an RPG where your pocket monsters are combined in monstrous science experiments to make new, freaky hybrid Pokémon.

Pokémon Planet

Pokémon Adventure

Your first Page! It's just bootleg Pokémon Mario.
