Is phiongames.blogspot.com legit or a scam?
A Pokémon fan-game distribution site on Blogger that is currently flagged by nine security engines for phishing and malicious activity.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The site is a long-standing hub for Pokémon fan games like Pokémon Nova and Relict, which gives it significant community credibility on platforms like Reddit. However, our analysis shows that nine different antivirus engines, including BitDefender and CyRadar, have flagged the domain as malicious or phishing. These detections often occur when a site hosts files that trigger heuristic alarms or when the domain is used in credential-theft flows. The site's reliance on a free Blogger domain and external file-hosting links like MEGA adds to the risk profile. While the creators explicitly warn against paid scams, the technical flags from our security partners cannot be ignored.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for phiongames.blogspot.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- Domain is a free Blogger site (phiongames.blogspot.com) distributing multiple Pokémon fangames including Pokémon Nova (open-world Ultra Megalopolis), Pokémon Relict (roguelike with 1025 Pokémon), Pokémon Reminiscencia, and Realidea System.
- Creators warn explicitly that the games are free, ad-free, and any fundraising or paid versions are scams: "Any fundrising projects you see or anyone trying to make money off the game is a SCAM."
- Gridinsoft flags the domain as phishing with 1/100 trust score, citing 10 blacklist detections, phishing-related signals, free hosting, and behavior matching credential-theft flow.
- Scamadviser gives trust score 0 (Very Likely Unsafe) due to hidden WHOIS via paid service, low traffic, free platform, iframe embedding, and recent DNSFilter malicious report.
- Positive community mentions on Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, PokeCommunity, and X promoting the games and linking to this blog for official downloads; no user reports of actual malware or theft found.
- Site provides Mega download links, changelogs, FAQs, Discord (discord.com/invite/gNmjGNDST9), and has associated YouTube channel @PhionGames with 6.3K subscribers.
- Domain age listed as 0 days in query but security tools reference longer history (positive highlight on Scamadviser: "Website has been around for many years"); new Pokémon Nova posts dated 2026.
