what is Deskmon?

A Windows desktop pet inspired by Pokémon that grows, fights, and evolves while you work.

This downloadable desktop pet features Pokémon-themed creatures up to Generation 3, with some Generation 4 starters and shiny variants. Collect, battle, and watch your pets develop as you stay productive at your computer.

It sits in the Idle / Numbers / Management / RPG / Prototype corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
