Someone built PokeBonk, a Pokémon-flavored Vampire Survivors-style game: you play as a Pokémon, level up and auto-battle monsters on a survivors-like map, evolve your Pokémon, and move to the next map after beating a boss.
The creator says the game is surprisingly complete and addictive, with a large and self-propagating player base that has also taken off in China — and jokes about how Nintendo might feel about it.
