Currently v0.6 BETA is available to the public. You can download it HERE.
Overview:
Pokemon Online (POL) is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) that involves quests, player personalisation, persistent NPCs, sparring and general exploration. Players will have the ability to train and catch pokemon while battling other trainers online in real-time. The POL game is closely based on the original Pokemon Gameboy games, with most of the traditional elements remaining intact. The POL enviroment is completely 2D and replicates the graphics used in the original games. The POL MMORPG has the ability to support hundreds and even thousands of simultaneously connected players. This means that you will interact in a vast virtual world, with many kingdoms and quests, with players from all over the world.
Hey, if you are in some postion of development and/or knowledge can you tell us how you're planning to handle legendary Pokemon?

This is pretty cool. However, upon reading the title, I thought for some reason that some sense had finally be knocked into Nintendo and they were making a Pokemon MMO.
I'm the owner of Pokemon Online. I administrate the website, and fund the entire project. For a detailed outline of all the planned concepts/features of POL go HERE.

I must say I'm impressed.
Do you have some plans to replace all the Pokemon stuff with original work just in case? Because I'd hate to see all this go to waste in case Nintendo decides they don't like this.
And yes, add [Game On] To the title because this is rad.
The dudes that run Smogon and Netbattle have said that Nintendo knows about it, but haven't done anything or threatened to do anything about it. I think might be because its none profit or something, but shit, I don't know.
Don't bother. When they say "incomplete", they aren't fucking kidding. Availiable right now is nothing but an open field and stand alone characters with borrowed pokemon. YOu can't even fucking battle. Just walk around an open field and talk to people.

It does indeed look frickin' awesome. But for something like an MMO, and an unofficial one at that, you need a hella amount of people who are good at what they do working on it full time. Otherwise it will be less than it ought to be, and for something as eagerly awaited as a Pokemon MMO, people won't like that.
Is this the only thread where we ignore the blatant whoring? He joined today.
Shut up. It's online Pokemans. On the internets. Internet battling. Let it live.
I also hear it sucks.
If Miyamoto came in here and was like "Hey guys, I created this awesome game with my design team for you all to play and test and get back to me on, and the best thing is, it's absolutely free!", would you be all like "Sitewhore!"?

NO!
Of course not. We'd be all "Shrill!" after the initial orgasming over Miyamoto coming to the fucking forums was over.

Do you have anything to do with this?
Or are you just thinking it's a cool fangame to post up.
But hot damn Nintendo isn't gonna like this.
It's already out, CaD's are powerless now. :P
And they've yet to do anything about Netbattle (I've even seen threads about it on the official Nintendo forums.)

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
I've been waiting for this since 1995
What planned features are missing from the beta? If it's playable and full of fun, I might give it a whirl.
Looking at the FAQ apparently they haven't gotten the battle system down 100%, you can't switch Pokemon in battle, it seems.
Change the title to "Game on" or something.

I know this MMO right here is awesome.
Can I have all the new ones or is it the original 150(1)
because my pokemans... let me show them to you
I thought this was some lame sitewhore thing.
Now I realize it's something awesome.
I'm so signing up for this once I get home.
Cuz, it's pretty much free advertising then.
But he's right... you can't battle
:<
And I dont think the mods will have a problem with this, because it isnt much worse than Pokemon NetBattle and that's allowed.
How? Every time I tried to challenge someone or got challenged, the "Yes" button was blanked out.
it can be tricky...
Also... the battle system sucks
the one battle I was able to get into I was half a screen away from them.
also, I know it's beta, but this really sucks. stick with netbattle if you want online pokefun
Oh, if you want to win, make a team full of koffings
