What Is PokéPath TD?
PokéPath TD is a browser-based tower defense game where you place Pokémon along winding paths to stop waves of enemy creatures. You'll pick a starter, deploy defenders on strategic spots, and level them up to unlock evolutions with stronger stats and abilities. Each Pokémon has unique traits—some burn enemies over time, others slow or stun. Routes branch across multiple maps, and you can switch freely without losing progress, making it easy to grind weaker areas before tackling tougher waves.

Why It's Popular
The loop blends classic tower defense placement with the satisfaction of raising and evolving a Pokémon team. Enemies come with resistances—armor, regeneration, invisibility—so you can't just spam one strong unit; you need counters. The auto-mode lets cleared waves farm passively while you plan your next move, and route-switching means you're never stuck grinding the same map. Pixel art nostalgia and steady progression keep the "one more wave" pull strong.

Starter Tips (First 2 Minutes)
- Place your starter Pokémon near the path entrance so it hits enemies early and often
- Check enemy stats before each wave—ARMOR means you need high damage, INVISIBLE means you need detection abilities
- Spend gold on new Pokémon from the Shop; prices increase each purchase, so plan wisely
- Level up one or two units first rather than spreading experience thin
- Use AUTO mode on cleared routes to farm gold and stars while you're away
- If a wave feels impossible, switch to an easier route via the Map menu and come back stronger
- Stars unlock extra team slots—prioritize routes that reward stars
Safety, Age & Streaming Notes
It's a pixel-art tower defense game with no violence beyond cute creatures bumping each other—completely safe for all ages. Recommended for 7+. Streaming works well since wave victories and evolution unlocks create natural highlight moments. The game autosaves when you change maps or finish a wave, so progress is safe.
