Same wish, different games

If you want this battle, start at PB Ranked. The rows below are other public projects people confuse with it. I am not ranking “fun.” I am recording whether a public page says you can play, on what, and for what price.

Playability from each project’s public page, read 3 November 2026.

Showdown is turn-based. Battle Advanced, by The Daigan, is a browser remake that starts like FireRed and adds real-time fights; the PortedGames page is one source for that route. Arena 2D’s own site says you cannot play yet. The three-way split is on the comparison.
