    [PokeCommunity.com] Planet Pokémon - 3D Action MMO



    Planet Pokémon is a free 3D Action Pokémon MMO game meant for the community from the community.
    Developed by Hogkey Games with Unity3D for Windows/Linux.



    Who are we?

    We are a team of enthusiastic Pokémon fans with a growing community, aiming to create a game for fans, where they can experience the Planet (of) Pokémon: meet people, battle each other and explore a world full of adventures. We are inspired by the original games and the anime, but also incorporating RPG elements with an action-based game concept.


    Planet Pokémon or Pokémon Planet?
    There are two different projects not affiliated with each other with a similar name, that's why the word order is important. Our project aims for a real-time 3D experience not seen before, while Pokémon Planet is mostly based on the original games (Kudos to the team for their work).


    Storyline

    You begin your journey in one of the starting towns (Pallet Town for instance) in one of the available regions (Kanto, Johto...) as a young boy or girl where you control your own customized character from a third-person perspective and navigate them throughout the fictional region of Kanto. You get your first Pokémon and set out on a journey, gaining experience and skills in the five different focuses. During your journey through Kanto, you must capture Pokémon to record their information in your Pokédex, an in-game encyclopedia, as well as become a better player by meeting goals and objectives depending on the certain focus you choose.


    Development

    We already have a pre-alpha version, which is more like a showcase, made in about a month with basic multiplayer, in-game chatting and some Pokémons ready to battle each other. Our Alpha version, the first real step with rewritten code is in heavy development, with people discussing new ideas and sharing their thoughts about them on our forum. We have a solid team working on the game, but also welcome contributions from the community, whether they can help directly or by sticking with us and discussing the future of the game. Our people use Unity3D, Blender, 3DSMax and whatever they are good with (even Paint for some sketches).



    17/03/2015 Winter is over, spring is here. We made a little patch fitting for the season. While still mainly working on alpha, we invested some time to prepare a gift for St. Patrick's day. Enjoy the Patch!

    We just want to point out that we have the highest respect for Nintendo and Game Freak. Without them, Pokémon and its immense fanbase would not be what it is today and we are all very thankful for that. We only hope we can do the franchise justice.

    The pre-alpha is pretty awesome even though it's real early in development. It's more fun than you'd think. The forum is pretty nice too, a good community. I hope to see this game grow some more!
     
    From the outside, we aren't too active lately, but internal progress is made at a good pace. Cause of this reason, we decided to create a Newsletter for our fans. You can find the links in the updated main post.

    Very cool! This looks like a spiritual successor to Pokemon Generations. I just hope you guys don't get a C&D from Nintendo.

    Not sure if you meant that, but Pokémon Generations wasn't shut down by Nintendo.
