What it does

Friends by Trainer ID

Add friends entirely in-game with a D-pad digit spinner - no typing, no web page needed.

Last-known positions

Friends appear as static map markers where they were last seen - no live movement, no persistent server.

Friend stats & activity

Badges, Pokedex progress, League wins, money, and time played - self-reported by each friend's own client.

Party viewer

See a friend's current party, one Pokemon per screen - species, level, HP, and moves.

Who's nearby

See everyone else (friend or not) currently on your map, Pokemon-Go-style.

Works everywhere

Plain HTTP, ordinary PHP + MySQL hosting behind it - runs the same on desktop and mobile, negligible data use.
