Pokemon MMO (Better than the others)

[Phla]

started playing yesterday, seems pretty decent from the start, and it can only get better from here. only things i don't like is the lack of items / lack of battle animations / kind of slow movement, but they're fixing these next update i believe right?

Yup all of those should be fixed apparently.

A 3D Pokemon MMO would be so perfect, the universe is practically begging to be an MMO. You basically carry around 6 Pokemon at a time, and just like in the games have access to a PC in various important locations in order to change your team. Types would still be extant and they'd be everywhere in gameplay. During fights against a Legendary Zapdos you'll want everybody in your Guild/Linkshell to be using something like a Rock Type to provide maximum benefits of offensive/defensive capabilities. All the in game functions such as Move Tutoring and Trading Pokemon would also remain intact.

Gathering Resources such as Berries/Stones/Fossils/Items(loot from more sentient type Pokemon) these could then be crafted in addition to used without being crafted.

Note: The above would utilize various Pokemon techniques such as burning down a tree or moving a boulder with Strength to get to areas you needed to.

Terrain Navigation: Fly/Surf would both be used. You'd be able to use Fly outside battle with pokemon large enough to ride on such as a fully evolved Pidgey (Pidgeot). You'd also be able to navigate across water using a large enough Pokemon who knows Surf, after a certain level.

Leveling Up: Pokemon would have individual levels while the trainer would have a more general level based on his quests completed and badges collected/trainers beaten. This would allow people to choose a variety of ways of playing the game. You could choose PvE (gyms/wild pokemon) or PvP (other trainers) as your main sources of experience gain.

PvP: Very obviously, it'd be trainer versus trainer battles including but not limited to 2v2 and perhaps more, such as 3v3.

PvE Legendary (Rare types): You'd be able to fight wild monsters alone and more powerful pokemon such as Legendaries and very rare types like Dragons with larger groups of people as a source of experience and loot. Also, these Pokemon would be catchable but would be very difficult to beat and requires large scale cooperation so that they were more like trophies than a necessary item in end-game.

God, they need to just fucking do this. I hate Nintendo everytime I think about this.

magus, I don't see anything in what you wrote about wiggling a wiimote. don't get mad at nintendo when you don't even account for waggling

haha, not absolutely sure what you mean by this but I'm guessing you mean I didn't include a way to utilize the motion sensing on the wiimote, so I'd say just let the player throw pokeballs with it and let that be that.

Weekends get busy but you shouldn't experience problems logging in. Let me know exactly what's happening, are you given an error message or simply left idling on the login screen? Did you get in at all previously and create an account?

[yayaok]

magus man i swear everyone whos played pkmn before has prolly dreamed this at one point or another like you said nintendo NEEDS to get their asses working and start this shit up, if gamefreak isnt willing to do this they could get another company... IT NEEDS TO BE DONE, epic would cry at a 3d pkmn mmo

I have to agree, an official and professionally done 3D Pokemon MMO would be absolutely wonderful and would garner a hell of a lot of attention, especially now that the generation that played through the first pokemon games is the one that gets completely addicted to current MMOs.

I think you're thinking too much like other MMOs though in terms of partying up to kill one legendary pokemon or whatever. Keep in mind Pokemon is essentially turnbased so it might be kinda lame fighting a legendary pokemon with 10 people, where the enemy only gets to attack once every 11 turns.

However, if they were going to make an official MMO for pokemon, I have no doubt they would utilize a more real-time battle system (while staying true to the basic format of battle, things like one pokemon out at a time, being able to switch, etc). In which case, more than one person fighting on a team at a time would work sensibly.

Ah but one can dream... You're right though, it's quite surprising that there isn't an official pokemon MMO made or in the works. Breaks my heart. :/

i saw something about servers being down last night, if that is it i don't think its a prob. but it says something like "error connecting: please check if your internet or firewall settings are working correctly" or something to that effect.

Most likely commit to code taking place and the server being subsequently updated so yeah the server was down.

I've joined their team so I'll be working on the Beta 5 release to be released soon. We'll see how it goes.

[BRP]

Oh cool, so an overload of /b/ made the game go down. Remember faggots, every time you post how much you love /b/ in spam you are contributing to this.

[Maguspk]

Did they really purposefully target PokeGlobal? That's a bummer, I hate them sometimes.

edit: Yeah the site's down...

You know, it's actually a lot of fun to just buy the plastic pokemon balls at Toys B' Us and then chase real life animals in the woods. The game is actually pretty well balanced in that the animals that are generally easier to catch tend to be harder to fit into the ball.

/b/ DDoS'd the server so they took it down and aren't putting it back up until Beta 5 is ready.

We've got alot let to do for the Beta 5 but it's all coming along pretty nicely, I anticipate an early November release.
