Hey, no worries! <3 Glad to spread something like this around. /is also OP on a different account
Wᴇɪss Cᴏʟᴅ
is
THIS REAL OR IS THIS FANTASY
IT'S LEGIT
... Although I wonder how well it's gonna survive. I used to be supporter for PokeGobal which also got surprisingly further than most other
mmo attempts, until they got C&D'd :|
...THIS IS SO CUTE.
But I'll still definitely need to poke at it later when I'm more awake XD
now to find the roms . . .
See ya guys there 
o-oh I hope my computer lets me play this
holy CRAP
quietly downloads
omg??
HOLYFUCKMYTITSIFIHADANY.
I think I just crapped myself.
There goes the little social life I had left.
oh my god
oh sure it wasn't like I had a social life or anything /becomes a hermit forever
It really gets under my skin when I see sites like this using Japanese fanart without permission as far as I can tell.
The art for the gijinkas on the homepage come from here.
good bye productivity...
Oh. This works oddly.
I wasn't expecting actual ROMs to be involved.
yeah the client is basically an emulator
it keeps freezing up at the first screen of the game for me...
OH I MUST. I MUST PLAY THIS.
Ohhhh... Once I'm more awake, I will be playing this. 
omg 
but i can't decide my starter 
omg must join
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
so tempted ;-;
....it looks like it's a little more complicated to download and install than a normal MMO, augh...
Uwah, this looks like fun...
.....all you do is download it, download a rom, and then put the rom in the rom folder
and then you play it
sdgkh playing this soon
Siv
was
playing it, but the game froze. Taking a slight break, but will return to it later. <3 I'm SivHeidrun on it.
hsumi
is
.... is it Mac compatible?
it seems to only mention windows and linux...
//sob
/has a MAc
Fear not, there's an unofficial thing for that.
It's fun so far, a little cluttered but interesting enough.
uho. huzzah.
Oh, just had to reinstall java, not freezing anymore! Life is good
even though i'm a windows user. i've seen way too many "but it doesn't work with mac..." instances.
/.... might get this ahahaha
Works fine for me
There's a pretty big list of unsupported hardware though.
.... yanno I think I do have the roms on my HD already XD /checks
looool queue ;;
OMG TO MANY PEOPLE XDDD
can we play this privately with just friends? L0
* :0 ...Or is it like... just a public MMO?
a LAN party with this could be fun.
I'm kinda turned off by the downloading of the actual firered to play it. :C I like it when MMOs make their own games.
maybe if I get over this fact i'll play it
QUEUEa;sdfjasfja;f
looks like you need an invite to play anyway
nope. 
Actually, it seems they just closed public registration.
huh? it's still public for me.
It's not liscenced from Nintendo. They could be hit with a C&D at any point
not.. really..
there's plenty of pokemon related games and mmos on the internet that haven't met that fate
oh crap it is invite only.
/needs an invite ffdsfkldlfds
Just because they haven't doesn't mean they can't be.
Fact is, it's not 'legit'. It's a fan made game.
you guys sure are killjoys
and it uses a ROM
but hey, so long as it's running why not just play the game if you want to 
everyone needs to chill tbh/.
either play the game or don't. let's not get into an argument
it's not what this plurk is about
it is about an awesome Pokemon MMO that needs to be played. right. nao.
yes, indeed.
People asked if it was legit. It's not - that doesn't mean it can't be fun to play and people can enjoy it.
or not, if those looking are not interested.
It's fanwork. Which is AWESOME. But it's not official in any way.
I mean this is my fucking dream mmo right here. Pokemon MMO. Using an actual ROM to pull map and character data from.
the only way it can get better than this is one built from the ground up that doesn't look like shit, or one that's official.
so this is about the best we're going to get
so is this just for Kanto? i.e. just FRLG?
... nevermind, on the wiki it says FR. XD
As they complete the scripting for the game, they will include more content from the later generations, I believe it's said
Also I need an
invite could
someone help
Yeah I don't know how long the game is gonna last, but might as well enjoy it while you can 
.... I could give an invite if I knew how? XD;;
So would I
:[
]
i guess i'll play it
but they closed public signups 
D:!
I never got around to it
I-IT'S NOT LIKE I WANT TO OR ANYTHING
I made an account before they closed it lmao
I just hadn't downloaded the client
BADUMTSH
Yup, I was there for that XD
They must have made it private within the past couple hours, i registered just fine this morning
if anyone figures out how to invite, i would love one o-o
because i need this, like burning o-o
I looked around the forums, and apparently the "invite" thing is just a way to keep new people from joining temporarily.
Yeah.
If anyone figures out if invites are a thing tho
let me know ok
Oooh
Ooooh. I would love an invite code, if anyone figures it out!
I wants one toooooo!
grats to everyone who got in. /bitter/
Oooh, sounds cool
omgawesome
BUT NO ONE CAN GET IN BECAUSE INVITE CODES 
I want iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin grabbyhands
bookmarks
ooooh bookmarking
oh shit, it figures that I'd miss out on open registration ;;
....
/dreams are crushed
If anyone has an invite code handy at any point, feel free to private plurk me.
;w;
same, if you find one, shoot me an email at [email protected] Be sure to subject it though!
Be sure to subject it though!
+1 for invite code ;o; i just woke up
How do you get an invite code? I managed to get in on one before they needed something like that in the early morning.
idk. :[
I don't think there are invite codes released yet, if any are going to be released at all. :|a
I dunno, look for something that says 'invite'
I checked on the forums - nothing's saying yet for invite codes being distributed just yet.
That's a shame. :/
It'll be a couple years for it to be released, likely.
Basically I think it's a hard stop on new accounts for the time being.
>.>
Just. Like. Pottermore.
They're hoping a lot of the people from this influx will stop playing eventually...
That's so stupid. Instead of strengthening their servesr, they're ocunting no people gettin bored
Well, they are still in alpha.
But I have to agree that isn't that great a decision on their part.
No, no it's not. >.>
If I remember right, they pay $80 out of their pockets to fund the server they use per month
They can't accept money for the moment either, for numerous reasons, both on the legal as well as moral end.
I hope they seriously consider what to do about this development, at least; this is their wake-up call.
Yeah, and they weren't expecting this to become popular thanks to tumblr and this plurk, so.
omg. 8(
Wstfgl!?
was
there an invite thing? I just kind of registered 5 hours ago. ._.
Since then they blocked new account creation
Any news on if/when it'll be back up? :<
"Soon™"
Well, "soon" is better than "never".
sob need invite :x
I don't have any friends to invite me. :_;
I still don't know how to invite 
macaroni
will
go try this when i'm on the desktop > w >
i dont think "invites" actually exist. Im pretty sure they just plain closed registration until their server load goes down
I'm fairly certain the invite thing was just something to distract people, yes.
I made an inquiry on the forums about a potential 2nd server they might be adding, because I heard someone ingame talk about it.
It's unverified, but they're going to supposedly open account creation again when they get another server online.
--that basically
It was deleted once before, curiously, so I'm waiting to see if it sticks this time.
It might be that they just don't want to talk yet.
Awwwww, sorry guys ;^;
For what?
...Yep, they outright deleted my thread again. They don't want to talk about it.
I'm hoping they make a version that can be played locally if you just want to play with your friends.
Or a way to set up your own server.
hey i just managed to register i think so i think registration is open again!
yes, yes it is
and so it begins again
until they close it again
Oooh, how do I register? at /account/ it won't even let me type anything in...
try refreshing
yay registered!
\o/
omg
:| how the hell is my nickname always taken
oh well
Account creation is still open!
AWW YISSSS.
orz but i cannot update my client.
I signed up but haven't actually gotten the ROM or into the game. But the name is GenoBreaker if you want to add.
Brightcrested here!
I'm Yakku! I've gotten pretty far in game, so feel free to ping me if theres a certain pokemon you want :3
I'm Synchronize.

LET US PLAY
firered :|a
Last time there was a Pokémon MMO, Nintendo shut them down. I hope this one lasts longer!
^oh no. :|
Well, if they're using Nintendo's official art assets, as it seems they are, then they're definitely at a high risk for legal action.
Are the encounter rates the same as in FR itself
can anyone confirm/deny this
yeah, although LG pokemon are catchable too
I imagine things like Nidorans and Caterpies/Weedles are 50/50
so FR with the LG pokemon encounter rates edited in
pretty much, yeah /o/
man I can't wait until this is out of alpha and they make Johto
assuming they make it that far before Nintendo throws down the Golden Hammer
yeah >:
actually I lied, it was PokeNet I used to help, not Pokemon Global XD
All I really want is a globe showing all the pokémon regions
or a giant map
I.. totally forgot they changed names midway
all you gotta hope for is that if PokeMMO gets a CnD, that the players don't get in trouble too
because since we are all using ROMs it's possible
I doubt the players will
yeah, I doubt it
we can get in trouble for using the ROMs actually
We can, but we probably won't
completely separate from the game itself
persecuting everyone who's downloaded and run the game is costly and unlikely to be profitable
then again I'm not sure if the 'Owning a game makes a ROM of it okay' is still completely bullshit or not
Not gonna stop me from playing it, mind, cause I've pooled hundreds of bucks into Pokemon stuff. /shrug no fucks given
y-yeah ;;;
but still, that a lot of people Nintendo would have to crack down on, I dunno how worth it it would be
I'm sure they'd just give the players a C&D on the ROMs
and then if the MMO went down they'd just leave it alone and go back to developing
... but I do think the MMO is setting itself up even more just be using the roms in the first place
because there's no way to prove that someone has a ROM on their system
I mean I understand it must make things go faster, but uh...
oh yeah it's setting itself up real nice
sob orz
hence why the correct answer is to play it hard, fast and frequently.
become the master, then stop and wait. XD
XD
the thing that gets me is the thing that has halted a lot of multi regional Pokemon games that aren't official
what are they going to do about other regions when you finish one? obviously you could blow through the other ones...
What ROM did you guys use? /hi i am kinda clueless
Fire Red v1.00
FR and either HG or SS for updated battle sprites (although I have both so I just shoved them both in XD)
wait you can use HG and SS?
Oh--oh whoops, I confused roms and emulators. /just woke up
XD
I'M SMART REALLY
it's optional, it just makes the Pokemon look a little nicer
I'd imagine you only need HG or SS because they have different sprites in each game...
.... plus you can have Pokemon follow you around
So just DL the client and get a ROM (Gold, silver, red, blue, fire red, etc)?
Instructions are here, but basically yes, get the client while signing up, and specifically you need FireRed
(The GBA version, mind, not the original GB one)
i can't get my client to update
What is it telling you?
I'm installing the client now
.... ah crap, I don't have the ROM I need. /onward, to trusted ROM site!
failed to update pokemmo.jar.temporary
reinstall java
or go update it if you never have before
trying to run it myself
Mine loaded just fine
... sweet you can have more than one character
this is gloriously awesome
My character is GenoBreaker if anyone wants to add me on it
^thanks updating java now
I'm
Foxtrot if anyone wants to annoy me.
Does it require Java 7? because I have programs that need Java 6 and won't run on 7 too.
idk which Java I have
let me check
I have 7 so I'm guessing it needs 7 but I can't confirm this
anyone else getting this problem? i'm able to log in, but as soon as i choose to join the server, it freezes then the screen goes black?
Either I forgot how to play or I can't the Prof in his lab ^^; To deliver the Parcel
Mine too.
i did. i did it like five times.
then the question is which java are you using? It might be incompatible with the game..
well i tried 6, then i tried 7.
Is this real life?
apparently I have the latest version
this has been the most frustrating thing. :c i would love to play too but whatever i try i just. blackscreen everywhere.
It seems to be a recent bug with some people
I'm looking into it on the forums atm
Man, I hate bugs.
minus a you >.>a
i basically have mcaffee and whatever comes with windows. my firewall was on before, but i shut all that off and the problem still persisted
:la
did you try restarting your computer?
never underestimate what a restart can do to fix computer issues
Noooooo!
I restarted, updated Java, deleted the game, re-downloaded, no Prof.
Jealous of all the other trainers with dratiny, kabutops
yeah, I restarted too. I guess I'll just need to wait for a bug fix or just not play. :la
It works on my 2nd character, but still...
EnzoDogGT: I can catch you a dratini! :>
Fuchsia Fox
will
this work with a Mac?
/searches site for answer... can't find one...
/searches site for answer... can't find one...
It will. There is a forum thread with an unofficial Mac client.
Cool. Time to go digging.
My name is Yakku on the game :3 feel free to add me
I guess there's no fix for the black screen thingy yet. sob.
You don't need Java 7 to do it, I just got it to work with the last version of 6.
i tried it with 6 as well. :la
