Investigation Brief

Pokemonnova.com is a 49-day-old informational site offering a free, unofficial fan-made Pokémon RPGXP game. It explicitly states it is not affiliated with Nintendo or the original creators and warns against paid downloads or fundraising projects. The site provides a direct download CTA for the Windows PC version.

Site identity and disclaimers

The site clearly labels itself as an unofficial fan-made project and includes a copyright notice stating it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by PhionGames, Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, or Creatures Inc.

Technical findings

The hosting IP shows an abuse confidence score of 0/100 with no saved reports. No malicious detections were identified in security scans.

Visitor flow and download process

Visitors can access a 'Download' CTA that leads to an internal page offering Version 2.0 for Windows PC.

Why the score is 78

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is pokemonnova.com a scam or is it safe?
pokemonnova.com has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is pokemonnova.com safe to use?
pokemonnova.com has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has pokemonnova.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report pokemonnova.com as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is pokemonnova.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — pokemonnova.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the pokemonnova.com domain?
pokemonnova.com is 1 month old, registered on June 20, 2026 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Does pokemonnova.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — pokemonnova.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR1, valid for another 40 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is pokemonnova.com hosted?
pokemonnova.com resolves to an IP operated by HOSTINGER US in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the pokemonnova.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 8, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about pokemonnova.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
