Nnooo may have the answer for Pokémon fans looking for more: an MMO being pitched to the folk at Nintendo.
The developers of WiiWare game Pop are keen on producing a massively multiplayer online game for the Pokémon series, and according to their licences page the company are pitching their ideas.
A Pokémon MMO would involve a huge world for players to roam about in simultaneously, co-operate and complete - being able to see and communicate with real human players.
The company have also drafted up ideas for an online James Bond game and an MMO featuring folk from the X-Men universe.
Would a smaller developer be able to take on such a big project? In any case some fresh ideas from smaller studios could be the inspiration needed to take the series further.
Thanks to C3 reader Echoes221 for the tip.

8169 495 03.05.2004 Mike@C3An MMO is just what the series needs. Probably the best example of a series about that could easily transition into an MMO.
I doubt Nintendo will accept it, however. If it was going to be made, I'd rather Gamefreak did it, but at least somebody is making the effort!

Agreed - Online is a great way to go, if done right. I doubt Nintendo will say yes to Nnoo (lol), but they'll most likely have some great ideas that can be taken onboard with such a project, perhaps even working collaboratively with more experienced studios for an awesome Online Pokemon.
The Wii and/or DS are crying out for a one-Pokemon-game-to-rule-them-all kinda thing.( Edited 18.05.2008 22:03 by jb )

13919 745 19.01.2005 Link / SuperLink9It can be done on Wii but it doesn't need to be an MMO. 
MMOs are filled with noobs... without an option for a private server it'll be the most annoying Pokémon experience of my entire life.
Even with a private server I hate MMOs. How about just exploration with friends? That's a WAY better idea.

Otherwise, i dont really care for it!["Photobucket"]("http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c304/flynnneil/Flynnie-faction.png")

You're one of those. Have you tried Pokémon Trouzei? Pokémon Ranger? Pokémon Colosseum? Pokémon XD? Pokémon Mystery Dungeon? Pokémon Card?
There are plenty of different Pokémon games and people still complain about them.
Also pretty much all the original 151 bar about 10 are in Diamond & Pearl anyway, so I dunno what you mean by "back into the mix".

Imagine, you buy the game once and would never have to make a new character again because they could just add patches and expansion packs of more regions and pokemon later on.

Glad you got there first...I could really have gone to town with that one... XD
Hm...like SL said, I'd love a Pokemon game with Co-op with friends, but I'm not really sure I'd enjoy an MMO. And even if it did happen, I'd want it done by Game Freak or Genius Sonority.

Doesn't need to be an MMO to do any of that, and ATB would not work with Pokémon. With only 2-4 on screen at once it would still be like taking turns anyway, and it would ruin the point of the speed stat.

Like I said in my last post, they aren't all repeats, play one of the better than decent spin-offs. Colosseum and Ranger are great fun.
Imagine, you buy the game once and would never have to make a new character again because they could just add patches and expansion packs of more regions and pokemon later on.
You realise what console we're talking about here right?
EDIT: Yup, and WoW and Guild Wars also have lots of noobs. Imagine how many a POKÉMON game would have. That times 1,000,000.( Edited 18.05.2008 23:06 by SuperLink )

13927 873 04.01.2003 jbcubed3.IMO, this should be one of the next steps for Pokemon (the main series).
Recent entries like D&P have been good, but still incredibly predictable and short too. 8 badges, elite 4. Fin. It's good, and the online play has brought the series forward.
Sure, there'll be a tonne of players who aren't as good, but it's all part of the experience. I feel having the ability to walk about some online world and train against real players would be awesome. Perhaps have private areas to walk around, or limit the numbers for different regions etc.

This will never come around...
Why don't we head back to Johto for a nice cup of tea...
Nintendo is afraid of the Pedos and child rapists... It would be ok if you were playing a co-op mode using FC but I don't see what you could do? PM me if you have a responce... otherwise i could careless...
One... they would make NO MON3Z off of that
Two. You just insulted a Mod.
Three... it would be rather dumb to think that nintendo would try an MMO because of the resone i just stated: PEDOS
Nintendo doesn't want to be held accountable for kids being raped, called fat, insulted, and many other resones I don't want to type using a bloody wiimote...

78 21 30.09.2007 nonePokemon is an RPG.
We love it as an RPG (well, the real fans of it. As a genre, it works really well)
And my final point, Nintendo and Game Freak won't give the licence out. the company wants the money and exposure a big licence will give them - good on you for trying, but they'll never agree to it.
