Ok I once went to this site a few months ago and it was dead.  Now it's back and better than ever.  This morning it just updated and it went from a slow lag and glitch filled game to the best smooth running online Pokémon game ever!  It's like playing the GBA Pokémon games but with better graphics, online player interaction, trade system, and so much more.

If anyone wants to give it a try my name is RequiemHaunt and I started in Pallet Town.  My first Pokémon I chose was a Charmander.  I encourage all Pokémon fans to join in this game.  It's the best I found so far!!!

That sounds cool I will have to try it out when I get home. I think I may have tried it way back but it was really glitchy... so you say that is fixed now? Hmmm sounds interesting...

I remember this a long time ago.

Back when Abra's were OP because teleport; a non damage attack, did damage. As well as any other status effecting attack, such as sleep powder, also did insane damage. The only status effect that worked was poison. I stopped playing not because of that, but simply because of school. And I sort of didn't really get back into it. Was doing other not-important things.


And trying to play it again now; it still seems glitchy, if maybe even more worse then before. I can't even get the bloody thing to register me again. Registering back then was insanely easier. Mostly because it worked and I didn't have to keep trying after 3 hours and counting... "This registration form has errors." But what errors? I now I typed all -my- information correctly. And I know after 3 hours I am pretty sure I typed the validation code correctly. I've tried numerous different log in names just in case that was the problem, and it wasn't telling me. I've tried several emails as well. The only time when I don't get an error, is when it's a twonk and redirects me to the player dex page for no reason.


At least the log in screen has improvements; although I personally liked the login screen back when it was still completely brand new. It fit the pokemon style more, and the art on the log in screen was more fitting. That's the only plus side I can say though because that's... quite the only good thing I can see. This game just refuses to let me in. =/



I'm hoping these are just temporary bugs, and my registration is just very very bad timing. But it's actually working even more worse then when the game was first released to the public.

Oh a Pokemon World Online? That sounds interesting, i might check it out

I've used this.

It's not a terrible mmorpg for pokemon but it's still incomplete and very glitchy. The main issue I've had though is the speed. I wish it would go faster =/

Okay, after 8 hours, it finally decided to register me. Yes folks, 8 hours. Mind you however, it wasn't constantly sitting there trying to register. Mostly because the pages took 20 minutes to load.


There are still as many bugs from two years ago, I honestly believe the only thing they added, was 4 new animations, Pokemon that follow you, and a few more Pokemon. I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous if I, a level 8 Bulbasaur (It took me 2 hours to get to level 8, more on that later) is killed in two turns, because an enemy level 2 Ratatta reduces my defense by "-84" from a TAILWHIP (My defense is 15) and then tackles and then 1 shots me, I believe there is something very wrong with this game's mechanics. I got 1 shot more times from a tail whip, tackle combo, then I survived from any other attack.

The EXP rates are very slow. Level 2 pokemon do not grant 4 EXP. If I'm in need of leveling my pokemon, I shouldn't be punished because the game decides to have level 2 pokemon the ability to kill something in 2 turns as long as they don't have 90 or more defense.


The maps and NPC's can take up to 5 minutes to talk to, and constantly I am being teleported from where I was going right into a wall or somewhere stupid. I'm on a very good connection; I only get 7 ping from Google.ca, and 11 Ping from Google.com. It's clearly the servers, not me. If the servers cannot handle the player load, they should really learn to limit the connection.


I feel this game would have been much better designed if it was in browser form, like Runescape or something; it could very easily be done. I can't imagine it being that big, and it would probably have far less bugs.

This game is, the 2nd most buggiest game I have seen. I know it's in Beta, but it was also in Beta 2 years ago. 2 years to fix the most simple of bugs (TAILWHIP!!) and they still haven't done it. I gave this game a 2nd chance, and 10 hours worth of my time, and it's disappointed me more then it did the first time. The first time, it had an excuse for all the bugs and such. The game isn't new anymore however and the excuse doesn't stay this time. All the bugs make this game nothing more then a reason to build up frustration and then leash it out on someone and there's a very high chance that I will not even try it again. Not until they fix at least the very easy to see, very game altering, and very simple bugs. (Tailwhip shouldn't guarantee a 1 shot kill. Harden shouldn't give you over 120 defense. Leech seed is a status alignment, NOT an actual attack. It shouldn't be "Super effective" or "not very effective". Also the attack doesn't even do damage or drain life. It just does a scratch animation and does nothing else after the initial turn. Fury swipes after a couple years STILL always seems to hit 5 times no matter what, and several typos that haven't even been fixed after 2 years is seriously a little lazy.)


If anyone wants to try it, feel free, because it IS a free game so in the worst case scenario, you will burn a bit of your time, and I'd hope less hours then I did if you happen to dislike it as well. Also remember that I am doing nothing more but posting my experience and my own opinions here, do not let them ultimately sway you from at least trying it... If you can somehow get past the giant cluster of bugs and glitches, you might be able to have fun with this, because otherwise it feels very much like the Pokemon games. I however, cannot get this feeling. The bugs really suffocate the experience I have. I believe the experience is much like trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle that is missing several pieces, and you can only collect a few of them in few chunks, if at all.

Vincent Swiftstrike : Your post made me laugh pretty hard. You really got the whole rant thing down pact. I think you should have just written a review for the game.

So in your opinion is there ANY redeeming qualities? Is there any reason for anyone to play the game?

billythekidmonster : I tried not to make it a rant. But that's seriously what it was like. I mean, come on, 8 hours struggling for registration? Beta or not, that's absolutely ridiculous considering there was no kinds of server repairs going on. I wish there was cause maybe they could have fixed some crap.

But redeeming qualities? I'll just say IF they fixed all the crap that I had mentioned (TAILWHIP!!!!!) then it would be extremely fun. But they just refused to. I've lost all faith if they haven't fixed the most simple of bugs after two years. Hello, Leech seed isn't an attack. It's a status effect. Make it work right. Tail whip doesn't lower defense by 90 odd points. Seriously, I ran a Private Ragnarok Online server aside with my brother for 6 years. The number tweaks would LITERALLY take like 5 minutes to fix at most. And if they programmed it correctly, all they would really have to do is change a few lines of coding. If it takes longer then 5 minutes, or they have to change more then a few lines of code, then they programmed this game extremely strangely. Heck, my brother made a program that could roll a whole bunch of different set of D&D dice in two days. Stat loss is literally no different except the coding would be slightly different. Mind you, this is the difference between making said program, and just changing the role counts that already exist.


So yeah, if they actually stop sucking at making the game and make it properly; yes it would be fun. The idea is great. They just absolutely suck at executing said idea and made the game completely trash with fail programming, more or less.

Ok so the game has some bugs, but in the past few days they got a new programmer who has made VAST improvements.  The first day I went on I couldn't play because it was so glitchy that the maps wouldn't even load.  Now I can move almost smoothly and I always have maps load properly.  Since the recent update I only had one map glitch.  Also registering rarely takes 8 hours, heavens I have never heard of that before, that was a one time thing.

I have tried web based Pokémon games and they are FAR more glitchy than this.  So having it web based would make it worse.  The only reason this game hasn't had quick updates in the past is because they were shut down and only a few months ago were they allowed to continue.  Since they started, the updates have become increasing.  Unlike most mmorpg Pokémon games out there this feels more like an original Pokémon game.

So yes there are still many glitches, but the group making the game is trying their hardest to quickly remedy them.  I do highly suggest people to try it out.  Remember these people are not professionals and they are doing it for fun.  At least they have better english than most of the Pokémon hacks I have seen on here.

Hmm, I wonder why they got shut down? Hmm... Maybe because they're stealing someone's product they didn't design and are making money off of it? That'd be my first guess but technically that means things like Pokefarm and so on would be shut down too. Not unless they actually got permission.


In any case, if you only experienced one bug, then I'm going to call BS. I can't even walk around the map properly and sometimes it takes 2 minutes for it to even let me exit the map to a new one, and even then sometimes it will instantly take me back into the map I just tried to exit. I know my connection isn't the best, but it certainly isn't dial-up speed for it to go 2 minutes. Maybe you play when the servers are not nearly as loaded and the server can actually hold the load. Either way, the servers can handle the load at peak hours for certain and they need to put a cap on it... Or make another server. (I believe they are getting another server, I think so that is one plus).


I wouldn't say there are many glitches. The game IS just glitches. Getting killed by a tailwhip tackle combo from a level 2 Rattata is just BS. There's no excuse around why they can't even fix the numbers on that. As I said, it shouldn't take no more then 5 minutes. When the game is actually playable, IF it becomes playable, then I will think about it. Until then, it's just a mess, and I suggest anyone who does want to try it to simply wait.

Vincent Swiftstrike : Have you brought it up with the staff?
Because i saw a question asking "Why can a lv 2 rattata one shot my lvl 8 bulbasaur?" or something similar at the FAQ.
Found that pretty hilarious that the most useless pokemon (except for magikarp) can just one shot kill a pokemon with 4 times the lvl...

Although i like the concept...it is basiclly what every poke fanboy have waited for...

rka0917 : Why bring it up with the staff? I am rather sure it's well known. Heck, I even saw some admins wandering around in the area.

That's another problem; Admin's English aren't very good. On a much more positive side, they DO actually moderate the game and answer people's questions as best as they can.

So yeah, I might just re-register assumingitwillnottakemeanymorethen8hoursagain and just get like... Charmander or something. Because you know... Tailwhip.


Or does Charmander have Leer or something, and Squirtle has Tailwhip?

Vincent Swiftstrike : No idea...

I wonder how the balancing works with legendaries.
If you get all legendaries and they are at lvl 100, does that mean that you automatically become god?

Example:                                                                 Example 2:
Mewtwo lvl 100                                                      Charizard lvl 95
Arceus lvl 100                                                        Tyranitar lvl 97
Rayquaza lvl 100                      vs                         Gyarados lvl 89
Lugia  lvl 100                                                          Alakazam lvl 92
Ho-oh lvl 100                                                          Raichu lvl 85
Darkrai lvl 100                                                        Umbreon lvl 94

Anyway man,to bad about all your wasted time...

rka0917 : Well, the fact there's no limit how much you can buff your stats, anyone with say... Barrier and Amnesia, will automatically become a tank after two turns.

Add a recovery move on top of that.


You can't lose. You will only have 1 attack, but since PP doesn't exist then there's no problem.

Vincent Swiftstrike : THERES NO PP? Does this mean infinite recover!!? The move that pretty much every legendary learns!?

God forbids if the legendaries has barrier and amnesia...

rka0917 : Um... Mewtwo. He learns all 3 of these moves. Albeit a high level but he can learn all 3 of them. As well as several TM's.


This is the combo I use even in my Heart Gold Mewtwo. I have Recover, Barrier, and Amnesia. And then I use a fighting type move as my main attack. I forget it's name but it has 60 power with "- - -" accuracy. (Cannot miss). It's a fighting move that goes off of Sp.Atk so it's good for Mewtwo since his Sp.Atk is his highest stat.

Personally, I would want to switch Amnesia with Calm Mind. Then I can get super high defense, and a high Sp. Def with Sp.Atk at the same time.


Oh, and yes. There is no PP.
