PokeRogue App

This is an app to play Pokerogue.net in an app window. Wow!

The app is playable in both online and offline mode. Online mode is the default, but you can switch to offline mode at any time by downloading the newest game files (file -> download) and then switching to offline (settings -> offline). If you're on the Steam Deck and want to play in Gaming mode, add the "pokerogue" file (with no file extension) as a non-steam game and add --no-sandbox as a launch option and it'll work just fine (with touch screen required for the top menu stuff).

If offline file extraction seem to be taking a very long time (such as more than a minute), there's probably an antivirus such as Windows Defender slowing it down by scanning every small file individually; add an exception or disable it temporarily and see if that helps. A not responding message is normal on Windows.

Features

There's a variety of settings you can tweak to your choosing as well. The only thing to mention in particular is the modified hotkeys setting; there's a keymap.json in the resources folder that you can modify, and that'll affect what your hotkeys are (in the format of "Old" : "New", with the ability to bind multiple keys to the same other key if desired). It's not a perfect hotkey remapping since the hold behavior is off, but it should work for most purposes. A list of valid keys can be found here

All cookie-related information can be found in %AppData%/Pokerogue; go there and delete the whole thing if you want the game to forget your login/settings/offline saves/etc.

The menu at the top has a list of utilities as well as their shortcuts, but they're also included here for your convenience:

• Alt: Opens the menu bar that has the utilities tab, containing all of the below.
• Ctrl+R or F5: Soft resets the game, as if you relaunched it
• F11: Fullscreens the game
• F12: Developer console
• Ctrl+T: pkmn.help website (useful for being a type calculator and having a pokedex to access bulbapedia)
• Ctrl+Y: Type chart
• Ctrl+H: Horizontal type chart (better for smaller screens)
• Ctrl+B: Team builder (useful for quickly seeing your team's resistances to various types, or planning)
• Ctrl+W: PokeRogue wiki
• Ctrl+D: Ydarissep's PokeRogue PokeDex (aka the RogueDex, huge credits to them for it existing!)
• Ctrl+S: Smogon (to get a quick reference on what movesets might be good for a Pokemon, although of course take it with a grain of salt; PokeRogue is a different beast).
