POKEMON MMO

Well if Nintendo picks up the idea(people have been lobbying for a 3D Pokemon game for years, even on Nintendo's forums before they were taken down.) It'd be great to have an MMO styled Pokemon but the chance of them doing it outside of a full 3D game is slim due to them making double money off of both pearl/diamond and battle revolution for the same effect so to speak(trade and battle with anyone around the world using the 2 together.)

Either way I'd love to see a full Pokemon MMO could be interesting.

Yeah there used to be a great one called "pokemon crater" but the site seems to be gone now. Anyway, i'll be interested in hearing if you get a reply back from them. I've sent countless emails to nintendo and have been ignored every time.

Wow this thread is terrible for numerous reasons.

1. Why are you emailing Nintendo? They are perfectly capable of making their own games.
2. Nintendo's policy, which most other video game companies share, is to never ever accept any submitted game ideas due to copyright issues and that they usually suck dick anyway.
3. There is no way you could make an MMO.
4. I suggest the thread shifts into something less childish.

On the contrary there are MMO Making resources out there, but to truly make use of them you need the hardware and basic knowledge of how to set up a server of some type. So it is possible to make an MMO however it would be a lot more difficult then RPG maker. Then to make it base of Pokemon you'd be very limited. As for Nintendo, they can still take the basic idea like and Pokemon mmo and use it without having copyright issues since in itself thats not a game but a simple concept.

Few people here have the know-how to create a true MMO experience. Just because there are tools out there to make really bad MMO knock-offs, doesn't mean they will make a good game.

And I highly doubt pantsman was the first person to send Nintendo an idea about making a Pokemon MMO. It has been talked about for over a decade now.

Nintendo's pretty much sitting on a free goldmine.

Very true, you'd think they'd get the hint by now and make the damn game lol...

Oh well, even if they don't i'll still be happy with the other pokemon games out. I remember sending an email to nintendo when the wii first came out and never got a reply back. They'll most likely never listen to you.

I remember finding a pokemon MMO in-development (it might have been the one linked above) where they said that Nintendo gave them permission provided that they didn't make money off of it. They might have been lying through their teeth, but there you go.

I honestly think Nintendo is planning this as the big final step for the Pokemon series. They've been milking it for all its worth ever since it was created, and that's the reason why they won't make an MMO out of it...yet.

It makes sense to all the fans, too. Pokemon is perfecty suited for an MMO. Aside from the usual catching, training, trading, and battling with buddies, the possibilities are endless. People could start their own gyms, their own crime syndicates(Team Lulz), their own breeding centers, etc. They could also have an official Pokemon League with a real game-wide tournament open to all qualified trainers.

At this point, the real question is why haven't they done this yet, and I really think it's because of what I said before: they're milking it for everything they can before they do.

...dude, what the hell did you just say?
