I've felt like Nintendo should do something like this ever since back in the Red / Blue days. (before I could really fathom what an MMORPG was)
However, I don't think it would "kill WOW", since the barrier to entry would probably require that you own a Wii, whereas owning a computer is more prevalent and better suited for an MMO.

I'm pretty sure we've had this conversation several times before, I'm amazed they haven't jumped on this opportunity. I also would love if you could have user-run gyms, like the dude with the sandshrew who set up his own gym in the middle of nowhere in that one episode.
I've been saying that Nintendo needs to make a Pokèmon MMO since forever, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. :[
They don't have to jump on it really. They own Pokemon, which means the best anyone else can do is make a ripoff.
Can you imagine the sheer amount of pedophiles that will be playing the game? It would be the greatest sting operation in human history.
Yea, I would love a Pokemon MMO, but alas, it will never happen. =[

I was thinking that for it to work they'd have to license out the Pokèmon mmo out to another company to develop it for PC and maybe 360 and ps3. Nintendo has nothing to lose by doing this...but it'll never happen.

man, when i was young and a pokemon TCG fan...i went crazy and started collecting all the cubones i could find. I went to all the card and comic shops and either bought or traded for all the Cubones they had. I'd goto the Toys R Us pokemon tournaments and trade the other kids rarer cards just to get their cubones.
It paid off eventually. I heard some kids talking about needing some cubones for his deck...and couldn't find any.
It was awesome. and by awesome...i mean sad.

As fun/awesome as a Pokemon MMO could/would be, I don't think I have any faith left in Nintendo that they'll ever make a worthwhile Pokemon for a home console. They honest to God just don't seem interested in even trying to. Also, their too content with obtuse online gaming via friend codes syruped in bullshit for an MMO to work.
And as far as losing rare Pokemon in battles; Damn I'd hate that. I'd probably keep 'em out of my party for all PVP battles out of fear.

Nintendo would rather continue making more bullshit like wii fit then put effort into doing something like this
Pokemon MMORPG = People get addicted = people start badmouthing it for ruining lives = Nintendo gets bad publicity and loses family friendly status.
And this is exactly why I have always aand will always hate them.
But I will always love pokemon. <3
