Dear Nintendo,
Make a Pokemon MMORPG. It would be amazing if you can do it correctly. I'm not talking about a shitty Pokemon game with "online trading potential." I'm talking about a HUGE MMO with zones, servers, PVP servers, guilds, an electronic economy, and quests. Like WOW. WOW with Pokemon.
You could have 3 different starting cities for all players. Each starting city has a Pokemon Professor who gives you your first pokemon (I.E. Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur.) Players then run around the zones, leveling their pokemon, while catching new ones like Caterpies and Weedles and Marmadukes...cuzz they gotta catch em all. This is what all MMO's are all about. Constant leveling and grinding. And people would play the shit out of the game until they caught every single pokemon....and thats when you bring out the expansion packs with the NEW pokemon.....see....you'd make billions.
The players would get their pokemon to high enough levels to fight Gym Leaders and eventually the Elite 6. And think of the PVP possibilites. There would be players fighting pokemons all over the place. And if you even worked in a way for players to Play Team Rocket....forget about it. its GOLD.
Oh...whats that? How do we handle the legendary pokemon? Like Mewtwo or Articuno or Cthulhu? Well, make it so only ONE person per server can have that pokemon at a time...and if they lose a battle...it goes to the winner. It would be CHAOS...SCREAMING BLOODY PVP CHAOS!
There are still a lot of details to work out....but seriously...you could kill WOW with this idea. You could kill WOW and wear its entrails as a hat...that is...if you do it correctly.
Let me know what you think, Nintendo.
I am free to start working on this project right now.
P.S. To show I am a true fan...I've enclosed a picture of my Cubone collection.

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 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.
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.
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
