Pokemon browser game lets fans draft fantasy football teams and play full seasons

Pokemon fans are turning the Pokedex into an NFL-style roster after a new browser game let them build an All-22 lineup and attempt to finish a simulated 17-game season without a loss. Created by X user ColeThereum, All22pokemon.com initially allowed players to build teams using the original 150 Pokemon. Users can assign each Pokemon to an offensive or defensive position, choose a formation, save their lineup, and play through a full season. Cole’s launch post quickly gained attention, with X showing more than 724,000 views.
