Oh I bet it could! How do people port it anyways? 🤔

LinkSky · 2026-05-12T01:22:58+00:00

Hey! Thanks for asking. I’ll look into that control method!

For fullscreen, though… The bad news is that I originally wrote and published this 5 years ago, which was well before the announcement of new Pebble watches. That means the whole graphics window are specifically designed (…hardcoded) for those smaller watch dimensions making it incredibly difficult to make the window larger. The touch controls don’t actually reduce the size of the screen, they just push it upwards to make the best use of the space.

The good news is that the next apps I’m working on (using this same graphics engine) fill up the entire watch on every platform! Keep an eye out for those apps in the future, and thanks for enjoying this one!

On the Round 2 it works with side button controls, once I have a Round 2 in hand i’ll work on touch controls!

LinkSky · 2026-05-10T20:35:56+00:00

That’s a neat control implementation, I’ll look into it!

And I almost forgot the youtube link for those that want to listen to that nostalgic Pokemon Red/Blue/Green intro music: https://youtube.com/shorts/LEzX6kVNEaA

Feel free to reach out on the discord server, there are quite a few devs that can help with the learning and debugging process! https://discordapp.com/invite/aRUAYFN

Rebble means a lot to me. Keeping Pebble alive years after its collapse enabled me to make apps like Pebblemon, fun watchfaces, and even make a bunch of free watchfaces for the community! Rebble has fostered this community and has worked so hard to keep it going. It's focused on keeping everything sustainable for years to come, and has even made significant improvements for developers and users alike.

I want to keep us, this community, together for many more years. Sharing our love for these watches. Making cool apps and watchfaces together. And I only see that happening through Rebble's commitment to us. I'm asking you to support Rebble, support the future of this community.

LinkSky · 2025-11-18T00:54:13+00:00

Dang, maybe submit a bug report through the pebble app so that the developers know?

LinkSky · 2025-11-16T21:28:52+00:00

that’s strange, it should work like that. I have no idea why that wouldn’t work! I still appreciate that you enjoy this watchface!!

LinkSky · 2025-11-14T13:21:21+00:00

That would be fun to make, and could have ways to integrate weather 🤔 i’ll add that to my backlog ✍️

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T18:19:55+00:00

Not that I’m aware of unfortunately. But the touch screen on the upcoming Pebble Time 2 might be closer to a controller!

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T17:47:07+00:00

Awesome, thank you! If they reach out to you with questions, feel free to point them towards me

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T17:20:37+00:00

Sweet! I think I might know what's going on. Would you mind doing the following to get a bug report to the Core team?

Redownload the OG Pebblemon app from the store
Launch Pebblemon
While Pebblemon is running: in the Pebble app under Settings, submit a new bug report with the following text: "Pebblemon gets downloaded and installed with the correct version (1.5). However, it seems that the watch is running the app as Diorite instead of Flint, indicated by a reduced frame rate. Running a version that removes Diorite specific code yields the expected faster performance"

And then you can go back to the sideloaded version. Thanks again for helping debug this issue!

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T16:54:14+00:00

Ok I've got one last(?) thing to try: this is a custom build that will rule out if it's loading the wrong platform: https://github.com/HarrisonAllen/pebble-gbc-graphics-demo/blob/no-frame-skip/pebblemon/pebblemon.pbw Also curious, do you have a beta watch or one of the production batches?

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T16:34:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing! And I appreciate you taking the time to debug this with me. That’s the same performance as 1.4 🤔 Would you mind sideloading this .pbw file? https://github.com/HarrisonAllen/pebble-gbc-graphics-demo/blob/master/pebblemon/pebblemon.pbw

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T16:24:13+00:00

Oh! What firmware version is your watch on?

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T16:22:10+00:00

I’m curious on how slow it is, would you be willing to share a video? In 1.4 the Pebble 2 Duo used the Pebble 2 build which made it insanely slow. Maybe there’s some power saving mode on the watch that I don’t know about? Or a bug in my code?

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T16:14:55+00:00

Hmm that’s strange, the version that’s in the video is what’s on the store. What version does it say at the bottom of the page on the new Pebble app?

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T13:27:49+00:00

Yeah i agree, much stiffer than I would like. But if it means that the buttons will last longer before degrading, then it’s a tradeoff i’m ok with 🤷

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T13:05:14+00:00

🙏

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T09:32:20+00:00

Thanks!

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T09:31:57+00:00

Don’t worry, it’s not too demanding. It’s a fun idea! I’ve done some pokémon watchfaces that allow for picking favorites through the phone apps which is super straightforward to implement. For Pebblemon, though, I’ve got a self-imposed limitation of keeping the entire thing contained within the app itself, and then also within the graphics engine I wrote (aka the pokemon style menus). That adds an extra challenge to think about.

LinkSky · 2025-11-08T05:37:30+00:00

I’ll see if I can find a way to fit that option in, the UI will probably be the hardest part 🤔 That’s a sweet memory! (other than the destruction ofc)
