Pokemon MMO

[Arjahn]

Look, it's been said for ages that Pokemon should have an MMORPG and the formats could blend wonderfully, and with the Wii U's potentially awesome controller and Nintendo trying to win back the Hardcore and Online gaming crowd, It seems to me that something like this is more likely than ever. What are your thoughts on the matter?

On the one side, that idea would be furkin' awesome.
On the other hand, I don't want my pokéxperience ruined by people shouting "@@@@@@LOOK HERE. SELLING m0oNz St0nezzz fo0r 9000KREDITZ."
If there were some private servers with friends and people vetted for coolness then lawdyeah

You can't stop that kind of thing though. It's actually a pretty decent business idea too. Can make a lot of money off that. Nintendo really should get on this idea but they won't. Nintendo don't quite understand online.

I would LOVE a Zelda MMO though. Playing as each different race like Hylian, Zora, Deku, Goron, Kokiri etc. Exploring a new Hyule landscape (canon or not). Making the bosses final dungeon bosses. Doing instances. Been hoping for them to make this for over years now.

One problem, half the players would be stuck somewhere in the water temple trying to find the solution

I wonder if nintendo will ever make any mmo or did they do 1 alrdy ?

I think it would be awesome to have a pokemon mmo. I mean, isn't part of the experience about battling other trainers and/or becoming friends with them? It would also be cool if there were different classes you could join thar are already in the main game, such as scientist, pokeman fan, or even team rocket. These classes could somehow affect your objectives and your bond with your pokemon.

Pokemon MMO?

But the only thing we can do is wish, because, as many other anime, there's only a small chance to make an anime-based MMORPG.

If it's released on the Wii U, sure I'll buy a whole new console for it. But,there are still gems, colors, and seguels out there that need to be named after the games and I think afterwords an MMO would be available. But who knows.... they might be working on one right know.

I mean, ideally, it'd be like a normal Pokémon game, but with an online feature, so you can randomly encounter other players. Level balance would be an issue, and I think it'd be better suited for the 3DS then Wii U.

That said, I'd probs buy it. The only reason I got Pokémon in the first place was to play it with my friends, so being able to play alongside them, regardless of distance, would be awesome.

As a side note, I attended a wedding in-between starting and finishing this post.

The reason I never really saw a Pokemon MMO happening was because there wouldn't be as many people buying the newer games. Sure they would still get a ton of sales from them but I'm guessing more people would rather play the MMO with 600+ Pokemon in it rather than buying the new, single player focused game with 100 or so new Pokemon in it.

It would be a cool game though. It could even have 3DS connectivity so you could train your Pokemon on the handheld game when you're out, then send them to the MMO world when you're at home.

There already is an MMO.

It's terrible.

[BasilZero]

I would love it if Nintendo would get into this idea, it'll clearly make them a lot of money and will clearly make a lot of people happy.

As long as of course they make their own original gameplay and not rip off of a already existing MMORPG.....like WoW...

[Xannidel]

A GOOD Pokemon MMO would be awesome because you would ESSENTIALLY never run out of trainers to fight (assuming the MMO does not die off or lose a majority of it's players.) The elite 4 could be something like raid bosses or something like that, could have 3 v 3 fights or even 2 v 2 fights as well. I dunno if that could be considered broken or what not..

There is a current fan made one called PokeMMO. It requires the Fire Red rom that you should obtain legally, but it is alot of fun to play. It is mostly complete including EV and IV i'm quite sure.

[Nicknclank]

As Thresh wrote before I did, you guys didn't check at ALL! Some guys already MADE one!





As for me... I don,t know if I really WANT to play it. I mean, yeah, pokemon is cool, buuuut... I don't know how I'll feel if some guys next to me do the exact same things I do and do them even better then me... thing that I think are cool and people does the exact same thing thousand of times...

Or like if you walk and some guys with overpowered pokemons just comes and are like "Ha, weak >". Or the worse... if someone next to you has the EXACT POKEMON that you love! Even thought there are 649 pokemons and more then 10000 players, its still lame that you're not the only one with your special lovable pokemon...
