Actually the first PO was being done by this guy named MykeXero about 4-5 years ago the website was called Pokezero (thats if youre only looking for the name PO the first actual online pokemon game was the one Konidas was trying to create over at Bulba gardens around the same time the first R/B/Y PBS was created), Neoproduction's Pokemon online was far along, I was a memeber there for like 2 years but like you said Nintendo shut it down and they turned the PO game into another game called Genetysis thats kinda like pokemon but something completely different at the same time. If Nintendo comes out with one now thats great but it sure as hell did take them long enough. I think that if all the little independent projects work together we'd have a much better chance at getting this done like Netbattle has a battle engine, pokecommunity and serebii have sprites, smogon and serebii have all of the ingame info, and that 3d pokemon game has gotten theirs working so that players can walk around and talk to eachother. if you put those together with a little imagination you have a whole pokemon mmorpgDeltaSuicune said:*sigh* Normally I'd ignore topics like this, but since I've come under spam from people on AIM may as well clarify it now..
The PO that got cancelled 3 years ago was the original one Neo Productions was working on that Nintendo sent a letter to requesting they stop. In other words, they were that successful and near completion that Nintendo felt it would provide an actual threat to their market share.
However, with them having stopped, the programmers went their seperate ways, and havn't attempted to recreate it due to legality issues. NeoProd has hence continued to create an online collectible card game and is almost ready to release this. Original, and unaffiliated with pokemon. Nintendo probably forgot about them by now.
Anyway, something that might interest you people:
Nintendo reveals revolutionary partnership with online gaming giant GameSpy..
This has thrown the tables upside down on many people, who never thought Nintendo would go online with the DS. Guess what, it may finally happen. And with that comes rumours and dreams of an official pokemon online, Diamond and Pearl perhaps, via wireless, to the web.
Maybe.
