    Default Anyone Want To Start A Pokemon MMORPG?

    What Is This?
    I've searched long and hard for a good Pokémon MMORPG. I have found none. So I have decided to start my own. If you're interested in joining or supporting the game, then please click the link below or in my signature and sign up!

    So What Will This Game Be Like?
    Instead of focusing on the graphics, I've decided to focus on the storyline. The graphics will most resemble the "original" ones. Therefore the game will feature a long storyline and many side quests and events. New features and styles will be implemented, especially since the newer games have some neat features. Features including: Bag Pockets (instead of putting 30 items into one slot), Breeding System (making it possible for Pokémon to have babies), Poké ball Throwing (you actually throw a Poké ball to send out your Pokémon), and so on. There will also be smaller ones implemented, like: Lil' Poké ball (the small poké ball in the top left of the screen saying if you caught that Pokémon before) and the EXP Bar (I found this one extremely useful in the 2nd Generation games). We will also develop a custom Pokédex, custom sprites of the Pokémon and Trainers, custom building sprites (they will have more detail) and much more.

    So Where Is This Going?
    Next year I am off to college, so I've decided to take classes in Game Programming, Computer Science, Game Design, etc. I already have tons of ideas for this (and other) games. I am a writer. Now, I know what your thinking; your thinking that I want a bunch of people to do this project for me. Wrong. In the next year or so I (and the team) will make the storyline, tons of side quests, music, and concept for the game. I will also start to build the game engine. Then, during college I hope to acquire a small group of people to help develop the game, so it will sort of be our "college project." I know I've gone ahead of myself here, but this is just thoughts for the future. I have planned to release this as a solo game, and eventually a MMO game.

    The Beginning
    In the beginning we will have a free forums host (until we get enough money to get a payed one).

    About The Game
    -Programmed in C++
    -Will be free to play

    Background
    10 years after Generation 2 of the Pokémon Games, the Pokémon World was at peace. This peace was kept by the world organization called the "United Pokémon Nations." Of course, so much power and influence comes with great responsibilities. Responsibilities so great, in fact, that if they fell, they could change the Pokémon World...forever.

    Eventually, another organization, who called themselves "Cotema Terk," wanted what the UPN had: Power. So they sabotaged the UPN, and waged war on them. The greedy UPN instantly fell to their knees as a bag of gold in was tossed in their direction. The world was left alone; each country to fend for itself. Who would stand up against the evil tyranic force, and unite the countries as one? Who would stay strong, willing to fight for freedom and to renew justice in the world? (Batman!!! Hehe...lol)

    Main Storyline
    The main character (You) lives in the city of Celadon. After your father stands up to the corrupt UPN, and disappears, you decide to leave your home to find your father (You are 17-18 years old). On your journey, you fight the evil organization and gather a following of people. As you delve deeper into the twisted sinister plot, you find clues as to your father's whereabouts. Is he alive...or dead?

    Features
    -Old School graphics
    -Pokémon Yellow & Crystal like color
    -New sprites, buildings, tiles, and Pokédex
    -A long and engaging storyline
    -Many side quests
    -Most Pokémon regions
    -Larger cities, maps, and world than the Pokémon games

    If it was only that simple. You're prolly going to quit on this soon anyways, when you realise the actual work involved in this, let's not even think about the copyright of even the name "Pokemon".

    This is just a phase, it will go away soon. Anyways, best of luck in not ruining your life in an extensive lawsuit. Or general Bankrupcy

    Haha....thanks for the support.
    If not Pokemon then maybe we could make a game with a similar concept. I have some ideas having to do with medieval Pokemon plots. So we could use those a make a similar game (the only similarity is catching and training creatures) .

    Thanks for the support, Moonlight! I will edit my post and add some more detail. Since Pokemon is copyrighted I was thinking maybe we could make our own game, similar to Pokemon (catching, training, and battling creatures).
    I will make a forum tonight and we can talk about it. Would taht be cool?

    No offense lol, but a Pokemon MMORPG seems like a great idea...if it wasn't so boring :P. Think about it....How would you creat a World PvP system of Battleground PvP system since pokemon is known for its Final Fantasy fighting style (You attack then they attack). The leveling system would seem quite easy by just making a quests....but there just Isn't enough things you could do with it.

    If you do try this best of luck...Also if you need a forum moderator for something I'm your guy. I might not be as down to do it for this game but for a forum you might start I'll be cool about it .
