Pokémon Battle Factory is one of those weird little gems from the Game Boy era—basically, it strips away all the grinding and lets you jump straight into team-building and battles. You get random Pokémon to draft, test them out in quick fights, then swap or keep them between rounds. No worrying about levels or movesets—just pure strategy and a bit of luck.

At first, I kept picking whatever looked cool (hey, who wouldn’t grab a Charizard?), but after a few losses, I realized some of the weirder combos actually wreck shop. The AI isn’t pushover-level either—you’ll get wrecked if you don’t think ahead. It’s like a streamlined, no-frills version of competitive Pokémon, and honestly? Kinda addicting once you get the hang of it.

Perfect for when you want that Pokémon fix without the hours of grinding.
