The restaurant results

On 12 Nov 2026, Google results in the UK and Canada for the bare words “poke derby” led with poke bowl restaurants, including Pokémoto Derby in Kansas and Moana Poke Bowl at Derbion in Derby. The racing game’s own site was not on that first page. An Ireland result set included an AI overview that described the game, while the ordinary links were still restaurants. If you wanted a menu, you are in the wrong place. This site is about the game.

Who made it

Zietes. The official site says “Made by Zietes” and lists [email protected] for the game itself. YouTube is the channel zietesstuff. X is @Zietes_. Those are the developer’s accounts, not this site’s. Pokémon names belong to their owners. The game’s credits name sprite and audio sources, including PMDCollab SpriteCollab under CC BY-NC 4.0. This guide does not claim those licenses.

Other names people mix in

  • Pokémon Derby as a card-shop search is a different query. The Portuguese “loja pokemon tcg derby” row in the keyword file points at a shop conversation, not this game.
  • Pinewood derby is a children’s wooden-car race. It is not this game.
  • Poker and unrelated “pokederp” spellings are not pages here.
