10 Years too late: Pokemon Indigo
XYU | 4:00 AM on 02.02.2009 7 comments


When I was 12 or 13 the only thing I gave a shit about was Pokemon, I had to have them all. Back in the late 90’s the majority of kids’ lives were spent watching Pokemon, playing Pokemon and trading Pokemon cards. I was no exception, I even had a Pokedex. Yep.

Obviously, having such an impact on me as a youth, a lingering nostalgic Pokemon interest remains. I think most of us play the new RPG’s that come out every few years. They’re great and all, but it’s just never the same as when I first played Pokemon Red.

Well, 9 years later my prayers has been answered in the form of: Pokemon Indigo. An unofficial, web based, fan made, 2d Pokemon MMORPG in Beta.


I haven’t played it (yet) although I probably will tonight. And to be honest, I think it could be fun.

Anyway, if you care to give it a blast then head over Here to signup and give the latest beta a whirl.

Would you try this out? If not for the lolz, then just to experience a Pokemon mmorpg?

Looks insane.

I'm surprised they haven't made it themselves (Nintendo that is). I mean, pokemon is practically built for some sort of MMORPG experience.

Ha! Can you imagine summoning your pidgeot and just fly around? Or knocking down a wild pokemon and some asshat throws the pokeball first, stealing your catch?

It would be so AWESOME!

It's slow and boring, with absolutely no charm.

How unfortunate.

Hopefully one day we will get an Official Pokemon (3d?!!) mmorpg :(

I kinda wish Nintendo would shut it down, that'd prove they were working on one of their own. Nothing against the Indigo team, but I want a real Pokemon MMO and HARD. A real, first-party Pokemon MMO would be like sugar-coated crack rolled in nougat, dipped in caramel, and covered in deep dark chocolate.
