Is this a scam?

[Professor Cactus]

Every once in a while, I'll see this ad here. (see jpg attachment)
I highly doubt it's real, it usually says mmorpg.

I've seen several sites working on a Pokemon mmorpg (or that got shut down for copyright infringement while working on such an mmorpg), and they usually have something about pokemon in thier domain name, but the site in question does not.

It's highly doubtful a game generating site would put aside the resources needed for an mmorpg, more than likely it's a scam site, don't go to it.

To answer your question, it depends on how you define scam. Most of these Pokemon mmo sites don't ask for money or anything, so I wouldn't consider them scams. I think they try to lure as many people to their sites so they get a lot of hits so they can get paid from their advertisements.

Most of them are not MMORPGs, most of them are just knockoffs of games like Evony or Poxnora but with Pokemon.

I really don't know, but i think you could play mmorpg online. Like sherwood, i am confident that using advance map a person from anywhere could create something like this.

I know there's pokemon mmorpgs in existance and in development, but I think this particular ad for one is most likely false advertising.

 

[Le Creep!]

Indeed. It looks like it was falsely advertised, as stated above. However, as another person said there are Pokemon MMORPGs around, some are very good ones, I might add.

I miss Pokemon Crater :(

Well, the ads are hosted by Google, I wonder if they have a way of weeding this stuff out.

Send Rukario a PM with this ad if you don't think it's legit and he'll have it checked out and (possibly) removed from the rotation. :)
