    A Pokemon MMO would not work.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I swear to god at some point there WAS a Pokemon MMO, but I'm not sure it was Nintendo sanctioned. It probably doesn't exist anymore. Still, I think I saw Lone Wolf Leonhart post something on Facebook the other day about one in the works? I might be mistaken.

    You realize that Pokemon is basically already an MMO, right? The ONLY thing that would change is that you would co-exist with other players in the same space and see them.

    No, but the leap from what it is now to an actual MMO wouldn't be a big one. It would absolutely work.

    They'd have to out in level caps.


    There was an unsanctioned one I played for a bit. It was jhoto and kanto. But you had like energy or something. You lost it when you lost. The battles were much harder so you died more. The servers sucked though, they weren't big enough. Then Nintendo shut them down.

    There are always ways to make these kind of things work. Allow for all Pokémon to be caught in the one game, but make it subscription fee'd and make it genuinely hard to get the best Pokémon. Allow parties, PVP, PVE and the number of ways the battle system could be adapted are massive.

    Trainer Level could allow you to own more Pokémon simultaneously.

    They should make the game so Pokemon have to collect all the humans, except there's only one of each human, so the Pokemon have to throw down against one another for control of all the humans. Everytime you win a battle, you get all the losing Pokemon's humans. #ThereCanOnlyBeOneToCatchThemAll
