All 22 Pokémon is a free browser fan game where you draft Pokémon into 22 football positions across 22 rounds and play a 17-game season, aiming for 17-0. The official site says each Pokémon is graded on base stats, size and type for its position, with up to three Legendaries allowed. It is not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures or The Pokémon Company. This page lists what the site and press say, with sources.

Quick facts

What it is

22 positions, 17 games

A browser game where you draft Pokémon into 22 football positions across 22 rounds, then play a simulated 17-game season. The goal is a perfect 17-0. The site and press all describe it as a fan project.

How lineups are graded

Stats, size and type

The official site says each Pokémon is graded on how well it fits its position from base stats, size and type. QB, pass rushers and corners count the most, and your four weakest spots drag the whole team down.

Legendary limit

3 per lineup

The official site allows up to 3 Legendaries in the standard mode. The Original 151 variant excludes them. Press coverage repeats the limit of three.

How All 22 Pokémon works (as reported)

Facts restate the official site and four press pages. Tamedex has not played it enough to rate lineups, so there are no tested tips or best-lineup claims here. This is a fan project, not an official Pokémon product, and Pokémon names and artwork belong to their owners.

  • Draft

    The official site says you draft Pokémon into 22 positions across 22 rounds (offense and defense) and then play a 17-game season. Held Games adds that rerolls are part of the single-player draft.

  • Grading

    Per the official site, each Pokémon is graded on how well it fits its position from base stats, size and type. QB, pass rushers and corners count the most, and the four weakest spots drag the whole team down. Dexerto does not describe the formula, so this comes from the site only.

  • Modes

    The site lists a standard Pokémon All mode (generations 1 to 9), a Retro mode (generations 1 to 4) and a 151 Challenge with only the original Pokémon. Dexerto and Held Games also describe a 17-0 Challenge with a leaderboard and a multiplayer snake draft with private or public rooms, adjustable pick timers and computer teams.

  • Legendaries

    Up to 3 Legendary Pokémon are allowed in the standard mode; the Original 151 variant has none. Dexerto repeats the limit of three.

  • Views and play modes

    Retrododo describes two viewing angles: Pro, the usual all-22 camera, and Bowl, a top-down view. We did not see these named on the official site.

  • On handhelds

    Held Games says it runs on Android handhelds, the Steam Deck in desktop mode and PC handhelds with modern browsers, with touch controls, and does not work on Linux handhelds that lack a browser. We did not test this.

  • Fan project

    The site says it is free and not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures or The Pokémon Company. Retrododo quotes the creator as saying there will be no betting or monetisation.
