I stumbled onto Pokerogue Pokerogue Dex late one night when I was looking for a quick distraction, and I honestly didn't expect it to hook me for hours. As someone who grew up playing every single generation of pocket monsters, the idea of a browser game mixing turn-based battles with roguelike mechanics sounded equal parts bizarre and brilliant. Before I knew it, my quick test run turned into a full-blown obsession with dungeon crawling, team building, and surviving grueling boss encounters.
