I searched teamliquid for a similar thread, and found many that were pokemon related, but none on this particular application. Basically, it allows you to play Pokemon Fire Red (Gen III) online. I was amazed to see how many people there was when I first logged in. The trade / global chat always active, a strong community, etc etc.
A lot of people tried and failed to create an online-based pokemon game, but this one seems to have a really good dev team and a well established player-base.
I would like to see if anyone on TL actually plays it or would like to play. My ID online is crbox, feel free to add me and chat ^.^
I've been sick for the past few days and I can't really get out of bed, so instead of playing SC2, I grind my pokemon
I've played Pokemmo for a few weeks but I stopped because of the difficulty of obtaining a competitive team without the usage of missing TM's/more tutors/breeding/pokemon, but the game itself has a great future ahead with the amount of players, dev support, and overall community - I just hope that Nintendo doesn't do something to stop it's progress T.T.
Glad somebody made a thread for this. I've been meaning too, but I am far too lazy.
Great game, getting better with each update. The MMO aspect changes the whole gaming experience, I thought I was a great master before I played this. I was wrong. Still in alpha but definitely worth a look if your a pokemon fan.
I played something like this, there were no animations or anything in it and very few others playing, but it was Fire Red. Got bored and left. I hear Nintendo has shut down at least one other Pokemon MMO, if this gets popular enough, it'll probably go too.
Pretty silly by nintendo imo. Copyright is copyright but the people who were playing fire red were going to do it on an emulator anyway and getting people back into playing pokemon can only help black/white v2 sales.

I don't think they are breaking copyright as silly as it sounds because they don't provide the ROM.
All the provide is the server structure.
Also if anyone care to answer before the trade happens
My side : Jolteon lvl 43 not ev trained (IV: 15, 2 (lol), 26, 23, 28, 21) so pretty good IV overall since attack doesn't matter really against Lvl 90 snorlax EV trained and Blissey not ev trained. Now I don't know their IV but I was told they were pretty good
Based on this should I trade, the guy is giving me some time to think about it. I love my Jolteon and was planning to use it, but I could surely trade snorlax and blissey later on
Hey guys - I started playing this a few days ago, and I'm really surprised not more TLers play it. The devs patch the game constantly, so while it's not perfect it's still something we all dreamed of as a kid - play an online Pokemon game where you can run around and can see/interact with other players.
Even if you have no plans to create a competitive team, this game is a huge nostalgia bomb for anyone in their 20s, and you should check it out if this sounds appealing at all. It is (for the most part) very similar to the original Red and Blue games, but with vastly updated graphics and UI. This means that most of the pokemon you see will be the original set, without having to learn the 600 or whatever are around today. (Back when I was a kid I briefly played Silver but never played beyond that.) Everything is also stored server-side, which lets you play with virtually no setup on any computer.
I'm "Sandes" in game. Let me know if anyone is playing.
I know it's gen 3, but I didn't know what that meant until later when looking up stuff. For guys like me who's only really played the original games, I was really relieved that I'm familiar with the pokemon/regions I'm encountering, even if a lot of game mechanics are changed.
Yeah im a gen1 nerd too, but there are something like 360 pokemon in PokeMMO / FR+LG. Not the 151 from Gen1 red+blue. The spawns in all locations are different too.
You are right though, gen1 is awesome and it is the same area, janto ftw.
Well if you haven't played in 12 years it doesn't matter if spawns slightly changed lol. And about halfway through the game I haven't really seen pokemon that I don't recognize, except from other players.
Honestly, for guys playing just for a trip down memory lane, the biggest noticeable difference is that Brock no longer does horrible, unspeakable things to Charmander. Misty still destroys him though.
That being said I'm in Saffron/Fuschia right now and really like the changes, both from FireRed and also from the client interface.

The game is awesome though, play it :3
Blue/Red aren't Gen1, they're Gen2, Gen 1 was never released in the states, it was original poke'mon blue released only in japan and buggy as shit! Then they took it updated it, changed it to red/green and released it in Japan. About that time they got together and renamed the green to Blue and released Red/Blue world wide.

I dont know why im "arguing" because we both think the game is awesome and are playing it just for the nostalgia bomb that is gen1. (Whatever weird pokemaniac above me, get back in dark cave plox.)
BUT.
There a shit-ton of new pokemon across the game, Like, Loads, Everywhere :D

Yeah, I like the design of some of them, so I'll definitely pick them up after beating the game.
Right now Charizard and Vaporeon are doing work though. I'm REALLY glad I can skip trainers if I want.

That's the only thing that bugs me. Being able to run around freely anywhere you want makes it a bit too easy and kind of takes away from the pokemon feel.
How accurate are the game mechanics when compared to how the official games work? Do status effects work the same way, is experience calculated the same, and all that. I may or may not try the game out depending on this.

You use the fire red rom so its exactly the same.
its not exactly the same unless Im not remembering it correctly, like taking no damage when walking around with a psn'd poke'mon just off the top of my head.
I didn't skip a trainer until I got to Saffron. I only used 2 pokemon until Fuschia so I was grossly overleveled and just wanted to move on with the game.
The major differences in mechanics I could see: -When you faint an opponent's pokemon, you don't have an option to swap your own for free. This has huge implications since you can't just swap to one with a type advantage without losing a turn. -Poison doesn't tick out of combat. -Exp gain, levels, etc all seem to be the same. -You can freely overwrite HM moves (so teaching Cut and Flash aren't going to permanently gimp your pokemon.) -This could be me, but I felt like I was taking way more damage early in the game than I was used to.
I actually played for a while with Bulbasaur and ~4 pokemon, and it was much harder than the original game since I couldn't swap freely. I also constantly took huge chunks of damage to my weak pokemon. I eventually restarted as Charmander and that made the game really simple.

??? Charmander made it easier? He sucks against the first 3 gym leaders haha, also one other thing i noticed is they give you diff tms after you beat the gym leaders, got water pulse instead of bubblebeam for example from misty.

Fire Red gives those TMs as rewards, so I'm inclined to believe that that's not a change at all.

Welcome to Pokemon, where hax runs rampant and the only critical hits you ever land are either upon a Pokemon you're trying to catch or a Pokemon with low enough health that will die to anything anyway and make critical hits redundant.

Charmander now learns Metal Claw at 14(?), which is super effective against both of Brock's pokemon. Charmander still sucks against Misty, but you can catch Pikachu in Viridian Forest. Then you get Dig before getting to Vermillion, so either get a Diglet or teach Charmander Dig and you 1-2 shot all of Surge's pokemon. Charmander is even far easier than Bulbasaur, imo, because Fire+Steel clear so effectively until you can find other pokemon.
All TMs are changed from RBY, since this is FireRed and they have different movesets etc. Instead there are people in the world who teach you moves once (for example, Rock Slide is now taught by some guy in the tunnel to Lavender Town).
By the way - from what I understand most duels are level 50. So don't level your dueling pokemon past that. If you haven't played anything past Gold/Silver before (like me), just know that there are things called IVs (natural stats) and EVs (trainer-developed stats) in the game that affect stats and your initial pokemon are probably not ideal. I happen to have a Charizard with pretty good stats (IVs) so I'm keeping him at 50.
We should have a TL team (basically a guild) in game so we can communicate! The friend's system is really buggy, for example you can't add people when they're offline or in a battle. I don't know what teams are like but I imagine it'd be helpful.

mm? i see people spamming all the timne asking for 60-70 and lvl 100 duels. Why would people leave them at 50?

Yes, make this for 3DS, with many cool streetpass features(this is where you meet people in real life with a 3DS on standby) and I'd get this game and have a raging hard-on the rest of my life!

The game is still in alpha and in development. I haven't encountered any real bugs; what are you referring to?
I remember reading somewhere that Nintendo is against MMO games for their franchises, so sadly I doubt we'll get a true persistent online Pokemon game anytime soon.

Lol i wish he would say what "bugs" because ive been playing almost literally 24 hours straight and not seen a single one other then people jumping over bushes i haven't cut down.

So when you get TMs off the floor and NPCs, are those the only way to get those specific TMs?
Unless you replay on a separate computer and then trade them to yourself(npcs wise yes you'll have to trade the poke'mon you want to train to the other person and have them talk to the NPC)
So i went and fought the elite 4; got all the way to lance with some mid-40s poke'mon but dude got lucky with his dragonnite and beat my last few pokemon, and now ive got some bull shit 6 hour wait ahead of me to try again...le sigh.

Thats not a bug. Thats because the game has to compensate for them having it cut down and you not, so rather then them mysteriously ghosting through it, they implemented a jump for it.
As for bugs, there really arent many. The 2v2's are really buggy because they were just implemented, but thats all i can recall off the top of my head. Oh theres also a bug that makes the UI crash if you spam a/b during a battle, but its uncommon.
Theres a list of things that are yet to be implemented though, like breeding, battle tower, selling to NPC's which might make the game a little "meh" for you. Also no legendaries yet because it unbalances the game.
Thing is, they have a "major" update like every month so these things arent too far off, since i started playing they've added a crapton of things too long to count, and it was just last november. Check out their update log.

It's not a proper Pokemon game without Mewtwo. Screw Balance! Unleash the Mewtwo.
Ya fuck this game, the admins on here are seriously fucking retarded, I made a leveling service joke and they banned my account for RWT, fuck them, I'm seriously emailing fucking nintendo so the whole thing gets shut down.
I downloaded the game late last night because I never actually played fire red/leaf green so I figured I might as well do it through this. I just finished beating the elite 4, using squirtle to steamroll everything. Since the game lets you skip all the trainers I made sure to fight some along the way so I would actually get levels. My blastoise was 61 when I got through victory road and I used the 7 rare candies I'd found to jump up to 68. I bought a bunch of X boost items from celadon but when I tried using them nothing happened. I guess they aren't implemented yet. Fortunately I didn't end up needing them.
I'm gonna do the island stuff and beat round 2 of the elite 4 for sure but I don't know if I'll keep playing after that. If I wanted to breed IVs and EV train for a competitive team I'd just do it in B/W2, which also has online trading and battling.
Just recently started playing PokeMMO, as i love it . I did run into one problem... How to delete an older character? I made one and somehow glitched first fight into not happening, so i would like to delete that char, any help is greatly appreciated.
Theres no way to delete characters atm rubicon, just have to make another and carry on. Its to prevent RNG re-rolling for perfect stats / shiny starters. They limit account's too.
I think you could get the character fixed if you PMed a mod or something though.
Not a big issue anyhow, if you remade you'd still have to just click the right char on login, you wouldnt get your original name though.
