Banned from Equestria Alpha Versions
Before Alpha 1.5 became the final build, Pokehidden released five earlier alpha versions (1.0 through 1.4). Each added new characters, routes, mechanics, and fixes. This page archives the evolution of the game.
Alpha 1.4 is playable below — it is the most complete pre-1.5 build. Earlier alphas (1.0–1.3) are linked externally to the Pokehidden archive on hexstream.net.
- Play Alpha 1.4 below — the last build before the 1.5 final release.
- Alpha 1.0–1.3 available via external Pokehidden archive links.
- See how routes, characters, and mechanics evolved across versions.
- All builds run on Ruffle Flash emulation — no Flash Player needed.

R2 and Pokehidden Source Check
The R2 pages and Pokehidden pages are not byte-identical HTML wrappers. They are separate Ruffle wrapper pages. The useful comparison is whether they point to the same named build and whether the direct SWF size matches when reachable. Full URLs stay on the relevant play and version links so this table remains readable.
| Build | R2 iframe | Pokehidden iframe | Check note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha 1.5 English | R2 game.swf.html | Pokehidden game.swf.html | Both wrappers reference game.swf and the 1.5 alias; the Pokehidden direct SWF was slow during source checking. |
| Halloween | R2 halloween.swf.html | Pokehidden halloween.swf.html | Direct SWF sizes matched during source checking. |
| Alpha 1.0 | R2 alpha_10.swf.html | Pokehidden alpha_10.swf.html | Direct SWF sizes matched during source checking. |
| Alpha 1.1 | R2 alpha_11.swf.html | Pokehidden alpha_11.swf.html | Direct SWF sizes matched during source checking. |
| Alpha 1.2 | R2 alpha_12.swf.html | Pokehidden alpha_12.swf.html | Direct SWF sizes matched during source checking. |
| Alpha 1.3 | R2 alpha_13.swf.html | Pokehidden alpha_13.swf.html | Direct SWF sizes matched during source checking. |
| Alpha 1.4 | R2 alpha_14.swf.html | Pokehidden alpha_14.swf.html | Both wrappers point to Alpha 1.4, but direct SWF size differed during source checking. |

FAQ
Which alpha version should I play?
For the complete experience, play Alpha 1.5 (final). Alpha 1.4 is here for historical comparison — it has most of the content but misses some 1.5 additions. Earlier alphas are mainly of archival interest.
Why are 1.0–1.3 not embedded here?
To keep page load fast, each page embeds only one game iframe. Alpha 1.4 is embedded as the representative pre-1.5 build. 1.0–1.3 are available via the Pokehidden external archive links above — same SWF files, different host.
