Well that's dumb. It seems to have anti-piracy for some reason. Do they WANT their game to be lost? I don't know what we can do about this, unless I under-archived. At the very least, it's archiving the wrong thing.

Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that I already tried that. I also tried going to the site using my computer, loading the mobile version, then saving the complete web page, but only got a basic page with the backgrounds and such. My mobile view extension is probably really outdated, so that might be part of it, but I kind of doubt it.
It might not be “anti-piracy” per se, but that it only loads game assets as they’re needed or something like that. It also requires access to a camera to scan cards to access the full game, so it maynot be possible to do this at all on desktop anyway. Anyone have a rooted Android tablet they can give this a shot on?
And yes, they probably DO want this to become lost. It’s for a limited time promotion between two normally unaffiliated companies, and while they do often have cross promotions, the next time they have one they’ll want to do something else. Also note that TPCI has already let several of its browser games become lost (see the wiki article for Pokémon.com online games).

The Flashpoint Archive Discord is also has a thread on this, though no progress has apparently been made.
I can't play this on my phone for some reason, either, and when I tried BlueStacks, a lot of the graphics don't load and the screen squishes the interface to make it basically unplayable.

We can see some of the missing assets absent from the site rip, so if recompiling the site counts, maybe? Gonna need a more seasoned lost media searcher (like teridax) to verify me on this tho.
