A GIFT'S JOURNEY
How a gift reaches the game
Four stops, in under a second.
A viewer sends a gift
From TikTok, Twitch, Kick, YouTube or Starvios: a gift, a follow, likes or a chat command.
OverInteractive
Receives the event, checks your active profile for the matching effect and sends it.
Official PokéBonk app
OverInteractive opens the game's official desktop app and connects to it. There's no mod and no files to copy.
PokéBonk
The effect lands in your run with the game's own banner and the viewer's name: hordes, specific Pokémon, allies, items or time changes.
STEP BY STEP
Getting started
Everything happens from the game's status bar, at the bottom of the app.
- 1
Open pokebonk.com and press «Apps»
It's the game's official website. The «Apps» button is at the top left, next to «Shop».
- 2
Pick Windows and the portable version
Keep «Windows» selected (1) and press the «Or: portable, no install» link (2), next to the red button. Don't use the installer: the portable version is a single file that doesn't install.
- 3
Download it
The red button now says «Portable, no install» underneath (3). Press it: a single file downloads, PokeBonk-1.4.0-win-portable.exe, about 112 MB (the number changes with each version).
The first time you open it, Windows may warn «Windows protected your PC» (4): press «More info», then «Run anyway». The website says so too.
- 4
Create the PokeBonk folder and move the file there
Open File Explorer, go to «Documents» and create a new folder named PokeBonk (right click → New → Folder). Move the file you downloaded into it; it's in «Downloads».
- 5
Check that the app finds it
Come back here: the step in the bar below switches to «Game · PokeBonk» on its own. If you put it in another folder, press «Set path» and choose it. The app looks for the file PokeBonk-x.y.z-win-portable.exe (whatever the version number); if the folder doesn't work, the bar tells you why: you downloaded the installer, the download didn't finish or it's in a subfolder.
- 6
Sign in (first time only)
Press «Open to sign in» in the bar: PokéBonk opens normally and you sign in or play as a guest. Then close it. Your session stays saved.
It's needed because the sign-in check doesn't pass when the game is opened connected.
- 7
Press «Launch game» and wait for «Connected»
PokéBonk opens connected. When the bar says «Running · Connected», gifts reach the game. If it says «On the sign-in screen», go back to the previous step; if it says «not connected», press «Reopen connected».
- 8
Start a run
Effects land during a run. In the menu, while picking an upgrade card or on pause they wait and apply when you're back.
- 9
Choose what each gift does
In «Profiles» create the example one in a click or build your own gift ladder.
EFFECTS
What your chat can do
Each effect is assigned to a gift, a follow, likes or a chat command.
Any Pokémon
One command for each of the 1025 Pokémon, grouped by region. Amount and variant: normal, shiny or giant Alpha.
Wild Pokémon and calm
Wild Pokémon of the area, a shiny, or «Calm», which stops enemies from appearing for a while.
Help and allies
An ally with the viewer's name, heal, Rare Candy or invincibility.
Items
Bomb, Repel, Magnet, PokéDollars and berries next to the player.
Time
Fast forward or slow motion for the whole run for a few seconds.
IMPORTANT
Before you go live
The first time, sign in on your own
If the sign-in screen shows up when opening it from here, press «Open to sign in» in the bar, sign in and press «Launch game» again.
Unranked runs
Runs with chat effects may not give rewards or count for the leaderboards, like in most interactive games.
No effects in co-op
They only work in solo runs: in co-op the effects aren't applied.
Nothing is lost outside a run
If a gift arrives in the menu or on pause, it waits in a queue until you're playing again.

The sign-in check doesn't pass when the game is opened connected. «Open to sign in» opens it normally; after signing in once, the session stays saved and it won't ask again.
