>Wanting MMO's
there is its called pokemmo
...
it would get boring, fast
the game we dont need for the franchise that doesnt deserve it
>he likes mmos
I mean this is techincally an mmo
A (good) Pokemon MMO would destroy the need for mainline games. Nintendo doesn't want that.
I'm more amazed they didn't make a pokémon MOBA
>roblox
Because it would be full of minmaxing faggots and wouldn't be enjoyable for peiple who don't have 15 hours a day to drop in and mess around
I swear to god the people who want this are either underage or actually legit mentally retarded.
I cannot understand how you can't understand that the concept of pokemon itself fundamentally crashes with how mmo's work.
Pokemon is like a competitive card game. The core gameplay doesn't change and mechanics get updated every other year. You cannot make an MMO out of this.
>The core gameplay doesn't change and mechanics get updated every other year
Sounds like WoW.

I've been out of money for the past 12 battles somebody please help me
Pokemon go is an mmo. It even has raids!
turn off PvP, faggot
It's also dead like the MMO genre.
Don't make direct eye contact?
>have this feature
>get rid of it next gen and replace it with a shitty little place where every time you go into it you have to connect to the internet again
>need to go to that place each time to trade and battle
Can Game Freak stop getting rid of good features between games?
They actually try and justify it by saying they want something unique to a generation in an interview somewhere
How would you design a Pokémon MMO that stays relevant when new gens come out every 1.5 years, while also not detracting from core series sales?
MMOs drain the life out of any series
>Star wars
>World of Warcraft
>Final fantasy
Pokemon will not be immune to this. The morons clamming for this and the combat to switch to action rpg are retarded.
While falling prey to standard MMO pitfalls, I'd still argue XIV as the most lively Final Fantasy in a long time. By far the most effort put into it
PokeMMO is precisely the reason a Pokemon MMO wouldn't work.
>start a new game
>Pallet Town flooded with Trainers
>have to turn down floods of battle requests from people with endgame teams
>no real reason to have everyone there in real time
Gen 6 was pretty much an MMO with the passerby system
>2017
>repeating 2007 meme
its called world of warcraft
MMORPGs are terrible. Who wants to grind for forty eight hours?
It would probably end up being Pokemon's equivalent of Monster Hunter Frontier.
pokepixel
>he post funny meme images
This was X and Y right? Why would they get rid of that? It worked pretty well.
>I'd still argue XIV as the most lively Final Fantasy in a long time
It also has shallow gameplay, story and writing, carried only by it's high production values.
This. MMOs suck nowadays, no point in dragging another series down with them.
it would inhibit their ability to milk the regular franchise by releasing the same game every couple years
No it wouldn't
>release mmo
>release new game
>keep making new games
>ignore mmo
simple
There is though but it's unofficial. Look up Pokemon Revolution on Google. It's been up and running for around 3 years already with steady income of updates and events. They also claim to host at some shithole where they can't be C'n'Ded
Why the fuck would anyone WANT a Pokemon MMO? MMOs are trash. It's usually only the people who haven't played it in years that even ask for it.
I can guarantee you that you'd all stop playing after like 5 hours, after someone with a perfect IV, EV trained team of completely synergistic Pokemon sweeps your team of "bros".
The entire community would be complaining about "try yards" beating them in every single battle.
is that a fucking tamashiihiroka thumbnail
So it would end up being a fun game?
They also got rid of customisable character and rollerblades. They downgraded the graphics in ORAS and buffed megas in Gen 7 even though they need to be nerfed, if anything.
Gamefreak have no idea what the fuck they're doing.
What does Sakura's cunny taste like?
Mmos are garbage
There has literally never been a good mmo adaptation of an existing franchise
Just have hubs where you can see other trainers like at PokeCenters etc. Pokemon wouldnt work with actual players running around the world like an mmo
KEK
World of warcraft? You are retarded
FFXIV?
Because gamefreak is retarded
Pokemon mmoba when?
there's no incentive to release the MMO at all in that case because without development there'd be no player attachment meaning less money to be made
I'm shocked there isn't an open world type game yet. This is one the games that would actually do well with that
Here's what they should do
>release MMO jewing the normie audience
>set in kanto, original 151 only
>shitty MMO real time combat with cool downs to target the anime fans
>high focus on character customisation to appease special snowflakes. Gender slider, race slider etc.
>Pokemon go integration
>monthly subscription plus micro transactions out the ass (extra master balls, extra rare candies, legendary raid dlc etc)
Then use the millions and millions of dollars they make off this to produce an actual good game for the next mainline instalment.
I think they should make a semi-open world style game, kinda like a metroidvania. Let players tackle gyms in groups of maybe 3 at a time. Exploration options unlocked by HMs.
Fully open world would fuck up the whole level system, so they'd have to introduce level scaling.
Something that would probably run parallel to the main series but doing their own thing.
No, enjoy your gimmicks.
Not really, the player numbers spiked after they introduced third gen
>Then use the millions and millions of dollars to make more of this garbage because it prints fucking money, and ignore mainline games forever.
FTFY
Just like regular Pokemon, except I can just inject them and save time
Your version is a lot more realistic but I think it's short sighted. The MMO I suggested would do a lot of damage to the reputation of the barns among core fans, and kids wouldn't be able to play it due to the subscription fees.
Once the normies got over the fad the money well would dry up pretty fast and they would have effectively killed their series. Granted they've already been killing the long time fan base with the last couple of gens, but at least kids still play them.
I mean, you could, but it's a stupid idea. For example you could make a Yugioh MMO where you walk around a large hub world and challenge each other and it would be essentially the same thing, but it would be fucking dumb. Just cut the middle man and let players battle each other from menus.
If anything, Gamefreak should just release another Stadium game, but with all the options available in Pokemon showdown. Very fucking easy for them to pump out, and all the autismos would move over from the free online versions just because this would be the "official" version.
>Implying Nintendo is competent enough to make online infrastructure that could support an MMO
There online infrastructure is so far behind MS/Sony as it is, it's so bad you can pirate Wii U/3DS games by downloading it directly from them.
On top of that MMO's have always been a PC genre with few MMO's existing or being successful on console outside of FFXI/XIV. Pokemon is also predominantly a handheld franchise, if you make it into an MMO that implies it requires a persistent internet connection to play you limit portability because your always required to have a connection.
>use the millions and millions of dollars they make off this to produce an actual good game for the next mainline instalment
Money isn't the reason for the current state of the Pokemon mainline games. That simply can't be true considering how fucking much they make with even the worst selling titles.
A pokemon MMO is so fucking 2007
What about a Pokemon game where you're all wild and you have to eat each other and get to the top of the food chain?
