I am not a Pokémon fan, but it is definitely a good idea. However, I am not sure Nintendo would give such a big project to a small developer.

there gonna have to fix their online infrastructure if they want to run an MMO on the wii, it is a great idea though, i think thats what Pokemon should of been, to give that a plus, if they can make it interact with the DS versions of Pokemon, were you transfer all of your pokemon to the MMO, then that would be awesome

agree, the series is dumb. But a MMO would be interesting. i might buy a wii if this was exclusive.

@ 1.3 it will be exclusive Nintendo own the pokemon franchise.

I thought of this idea years ago, but I guess when you don't have the resources to get your idea heard you just have to wait for someone to do it first.

4 - The pokemon MMO is something I've been pushing for years
But like the first comment said, I doubt Nintendo would give such a HUGE project to a small developer, I'm sure they'd much rather do something in house.

Look Pokémon has been maximized up the ass, if you don't do an MMO at this point, you would've built the franchise up for nothing. Too bad Nintendo would think of the kids being "raped through the game" and not do an MMO, more than likely.

I would hope that they would do a console Pokemon game, an MMO sounds exciting.

MMO=Massively Multiplayer Online
Yes it would be like WOW where you would be joining other people online hunting for pokemon, trading pokemon and items, searching for rare pokemon and so on while you're on your journey.
I think it's a good idea.

Basically an RPG, like Pokemon already is, but in a big open world with lots of other people (The MMO bit)

Pokemon is perfectly designed for an MMO, you can explore the world looking for rare pokemon, join tournaments, challenge people in the wild, breed pokemon with other trainers. Damn there's so much you could do! You could even have classes like the different people in the TV show (although it was years since I last watched it). Could have Pokemon trainers, breeders and lots of other sorts of specialists who could have their own sorts of quests and stuff.

I haven't played any of the Pokemon games in awhile but i still have fond memories of the series and after thinking about it a Pokemon MMO done right could be really awesome. On the other hand it could also be complete crap if not done correctly. If done right though they could make it very similar to the show in the way the game works and that would be pretty fun imo.

Im a fan of the old pokemon from the 90's when they only had 150 pokemon. Now its like there just tring to milk the cow for all its worth which isn't a bad thing but I mean come on. What they need to do is bring back pokemon red blue and yellow! Those were the best in the series to me at least.

A pokemon MMO would be good but how will it happen on the Wii?, It would be a great idea if the game is done right tough.

How would this be possible with the friendscode system?

I am so confused... someone explain? I thought wii'ers can only play with other wii'ers when they have traded codes and such ...?
Shut this user up Let user speak
iamtehpwn - 599 days 17 hours ago
12.1 - it would be voided for this game
Friends codes are the standard networking system Nintendo has setup.
However, you don't have to use them. Example, Madden 08 Wii, from what I heard, doesn't use friend codes at all.

15 - if they made a pokemon game for the wii
and its an mmo. id want it so that you could do everything on your own or meet up with thousands of other in one huge world. you could also battle together as a team or against each other,
i want to see a fully 3-d, interactive pokemon world with flocks of pidgeys flying overhead and pikachu's running through the long grasses. riding on the backs of blastoise. and they'd have to be proportionately the right size compared to the character. (imagine having to take down an enormous 17" dialga while its stomping and thrashing about. a pretty sweet concept)

i want the game to be as the series looks on tv. masive worlds, heaps of adventures and lots of cool looking, moving, pokemon. the pokemon should wanna run/swim/fly/ away if your pokemon are strong and wanna hassle you if you are weak. and when you run after/away from pokemon you actually have to manouvre the character to run.
this time make one or two versions, but if 2 versions, make it so that between the 2 games, all of he pokemon can be caught including rare ones. it should be a massive game that could take hundreds of hours to capture all the pokemon and the story would totally kick it.

thats my dream for the pokemon franchise... ahh a man can dream

16 - They should have done this...
Since day damn one. Many people like Pokemon, many people don't want to keep buying new pokemon games. It's only smart to make an MMO of it and possible (Just quite possibly) charge a rate of it, and if not for the whole content at least a rate for extra content and such.

17 - it would be the end of life as we know it....
There's already WoW, and everyone knows how HUGE the Pokemon series is. People would be so addicted to it, it would cause chaos. I've always wanted a Pokemon game on the home consoles that featured the gameplay of the GB/DS games, but Nintendo has never taken it to that level yet. It would be interesting though...

18 - If Nintendo is smart...
They would not put this on the wii, but wait to put it on the next console. Better yet, they could put it on the computer which would make it so much easier to play. Plus, id it was on the computer, you could get patches and downloads of new pokemon, regions, etc. Oh, but I forgot that we were talking about nintendo. I'm saying this with hope for the future, while trying to be blind to the present.
