SLink · Pokémon Soul Link for two players
Pokémon Soul Link,
automated.
Play your own game while SLink keeps both runs connected. Catches link by area, teams stay together, and a faint on one side takes its partner down too.
Two players · Two games in BizHawk · One linked run
01
Catch and link
Your first species in an area stays yours until you catch it, then links with your partner's catch. Runs can opt into the classic rule that closes a missed area instead.
02
Build your teams together
A linked pair belongs in both parties or both PCs. SLink keeps the pair together when you change your team.
03
Share the loss
When a Pokémon faints, its partner falls too. The memorial keeps a record of each lost pair.
