you're basically just saying pokemon is a pretty basic and shallow game, doesn't mean the mmo has to be.

I would say any MMO has incredible risk and game design challenges. Pokemon would have a big advantage in that it has a huge fanbase and tons of content to work with in the form of pokemon that have been made and the battle system and such, but lots to work on in terms of game building and economy and making it work for large populations

like the system of being a trainer but playing from you pokemons perspective sounds sort of like playing a shapeshifter or sort of marvel vs capcom thing where you switch out constantly for epic combos

I still think Steven is the hardest champion in the pokemon series. Wallace becoming his replacement in Emerald always irked me and I hope it stays Steven in the remakes.

You're not quite seeing what I'm getting at.

World of Warcraft basically put the development of future Warcraft games on indefinite hold as WoW is basically the only title to continue developing the Warcraft mythos. For Blizzard, this is more or less fine because they have other IPs they can develop while WoW keeps churning forward. Game Freak's only real successful IP is Pokemon, so if the Pokemon MMO didn't actually pan out, they'd be in a pretty weird bind.

Developing MMOs off existing IP does this weird thing where it puts the possibility of sequels in a limbo state while work has to be done developing new content for the MMO. You basically have to reconcile the fact that a brand that essentially functions on forcing you to buy new versions to get new content now has an iteration that is supposed to get regular content updates.

For Pokemon in particular, the business model is driven by frequent sequels on a somewhat regular basis.

Finally somebody that gets it, MGQ mmo would be objectively the greatest game ever.

you could develop the mmo on a particular state of pokemon, and keep the regular pokemon games coming out as usual? then you could base the expansions somewhat on the newer releases?
the pokemon games are based largely on the pokemons themselves as far as i know, mmos don't have to be. It'll be like the difference between playing the new bw campaign but not being able to use the new bw units in 1v1's or something.
