Hitler finds out Nintendo shut down PokeNet

[18Chloe04]

Bugs fighting to the death...

Sounds intresting to me~!

[rickydm23]

LMAO catch bugs and have them fight to the death

[SATOSHI1987]

for the glory of a REAL WORLD WIDE POKEMON!

[KingofGames012]

even pokemonworldonline got that notice from Nintendo, they simply switched there servers to sweden lol.

[digajjj80]

@SDANightlark could you send me a copy of the code?

[themetal2001]

u can make the project live again

just change the name from pokemon to any other name

and screw Nintendo , that bitch which can't make a MMO for fans but when someone makes one they just hurry to shut it down , FUCK U NINTENDO

[LarzAluphe]

Is there any way to still get the latest source code for the client and server? I'd love to continue on development for me and a few friends.

[SDANightlark]

@LarzAluphe Yes, it would be possible to get the latest code. Would you like me to email a copy to you?

[LarzAluphe]

@SDANightlark That would be fantastic.

[Zoyt100]

I think Nintendo shut it down because people maybe play it instead of buying Nintendos Pokémon games.

[jonsploder]

I'm very concerned about this. I'm writing my own pokemon MMORPG, and have been for years. I was under the impression that if I didn't sell it or make money off it, nintendo would be fine with it. Am I wrong? If so that's very depressing.

[Nushio]

@jonsploder Don't waste your time. Make something new. If your clone is any good, it'll be shut down, regardless of money. We sold nothing. We made no money. It was free and libre, open sourced.

[TheBilly]

@jonsploder To really get under Nintendo's skin, you should make a "Pokemon" MMO....just without the name and assets such as images. It's much harder to claim copyright on movesets and statistics and such (Capcom sued and lost over deliberate Street Fighter clones in the early days). You can copy all the mechanics that make it great...just draw your own pictures and call it something else ;)

[GaMatecal]

@TheBilly We are actually. It is called Crystalis Online, but is now called Evocri. We had to switch Crystalis Online, because we had no clue Crystalis was already trademarked by Nintendo. If you want to learn more, go to w ww [period] evocri [.] co m ...stupid spam filter :(

[todumbtodi]

@jonsploder the way nintendo works is they did copyright everything including their sprites so if you want to make your own you need to create everything your self including sprites/pokemons and read all their copyrights very well

[brocoio123]

the best MMO ever.

please if someone are reading this, please recreate server, make a pirate server

do the @#%2 you want but please i need this.POKENET FOREVERRRRRRRR.

Just kiding(OR NOT).

[METALMAN4Wii]

If you bootleg/pirate a Nintendo game to make money off it. Nintendo's going to shut you down and possible sue you and they have every write to. it's there work your making money off of. how would you feel if I went in your house to steal every game you have ?

to sell it's basically the same thing......! 

[Nushio]

@METALMAN4Wii We didn't bootleg or steal anything. We coded the entire project ourselves, the only thing we recycled was the graphics (and the trademarks).

Its *not* the same as stealing.

Either way, we've moved on.

[JustAnomis]

Epic Video !

[Levinous]

Now I feel sorry for him.

[Wazakra]

OMG... 95% Perfect...

3:41 + 1:32 subtitles are incorrect.

"And they shut [down] the game and servers"

"Its [It's] a lot more fun that [then] Nintendo games anyways."

Absolutely inspiring otherwise! = D

[Nushio]

@Wazakra Yeah, I shouldn't have rushed the upload. I must've watched the video a hundred times before uploading and it all sorta blended in :-/

[chiefpacman]

pokeworld?



[Arceus90009]

ah i remember playing it :D

[Zoyt100]

ya know.. u can always play Pokémon Indigo or buy a Nintendo DS and play Pokémon Platinum... cuz u an also play online on Pokémon Platinum with others. (Pokémon Indigo is not better than PokéNet , but it's kinda good.)

[ItzTheFury]

... well... if you know german an understand what he's actually saining then its much more funny!^^

[sloesty]

i always liked nintendo, but now they really screwed up

[DizzerJoz]

@KouichiKimura341 You got it the wrong way round. PokeNet was living on the popularity of Nintendo Pokemon. On a economical level, I completely understand the decision of Nintendo and, in their role, would've probably done the same.

I really blame the devs on this. With the history of Nintendo, it was clear that something like this would happen. They should've asked for permission first, and if they didn't get it, settle for a way around this. This fiasco really was foreseeable...

[Nushio]

@DizzerJoz Hmmm, and how would you have liked us to contact Nintendo? They have no clear form to contact them regarding using their trademarks.

Anyway, This is actually the second "Fan-made game" they've shut down (That I'm aware of), the first being a StarFox clone. They also shut down a fan-made zelda movie (The hero of time).

We did what we could. We also promoted the games and had a healthy pokemon fan community around them.

[DizzerJoz]

@Nushio Yeah, I agree.

The point is, though, that when I read about Nintendo (I was preparing my own Pokemon clone), I read about all the stuff Nintendo did for IP (Intellectual Property) and hence it was clear to me that Nintendo would not allow any form of infringement. And turns out I was right : (

My game design has now quite much evolved away from pokemon, with the capability of fusing most creatures with each other, real time combat, no fixed movesets, a modified stats system, and more.

[justafreeone]

It has been two months since the end of pokenet, and I'm still mad about it! It was one of the saddest things that happened in my life ;(

FUCK NINTENDO!!!

[Gidy800]

WHY?!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! NINTENDO WHY?!

[XxxMampfaxo1983xxX]

godly xDDDDD

[SmoothManRem]

Hey Its DarkPhantom. Its a shame what happened. Maybe we'll all meet again in a new mmo. something underground. Hell who knows. Its been real ya'll

Peace.

[lolman180]

Wow hitler plays(ed) PokeNet XD

[Iviqrr]

wow he takes that hard XD

[NoukonGlobal]

Ahh, just learned it was shut down.

I remember i was a mod for a short time when the whole PG and PR Split happened.

Sad day for pokemon fans..

Dont know if having Hitler mad at nintendo is helping your case or not though. ^^"

Hitler Says- "Pokenet is Awesome" XD

[MirceaKitsune]

Hilarious... awesome clip :D Although I'm really sad to see the game go of course.

If Nintendo could go as low as attacking their own fan games (to a point this means a slap to their fans, who have made a small tribute to their series) they are no one, and their people are miserable. Just what I feel on this.

[judurudu]

WHY DID THEY SHUT IT DOWN.....*starts crying*

[50Ghostman]

@judurudu Nintendo entered a letter writing contest and accidentally submitted their C&D to Poke'Net.

In about a week or so, the pokeNet team will get word that it was all a mistake.

[XatuvsLuxray2]

Pokequil here. That was hilarious!!!

[PGAnubis]

Nushi, props to whomever put this together. It's brilliant. xD

[Nushio]

@PGAnubis Thanks! Took Drawig and I a couple of hours.

[MrReddude1]

Stupid Nintendo

[DxFlare]

Hah! most epic vent ever!

It's sad too see Pokénet closed down out of all the pokémon mmo out there. It was certainly promising. I was part of the community at the time it was Pokemon Revolution. Even though I stopped going the PN after a point of time due to business elsewhere. I still pay my respects and I feel honored to be part of the community. ~Flare

[Llogitek]

Lmfaooo that was pretty funny - yungcoolkid

[justafreeone]

I will miss pokenet... :( F#ck Nintendo!

Very nice video.

[BonafideSmoker]

and the shadow mother complies, this is Bolshevistics and terrible!!!, but great vid nushio :)

[AngelOfTheDark88]

Well done! Nice Video! I will miss PokeNet. Read my suggestions on the pkmnglobal org forums.

Greetings

[jbeternaldreamer]

"Nintendo is now dead to me"

Nice words, hitler. I now adore you...

[MsGoobies]

[notOnilink]

Poor Hitler, all he wanted was to be a Pokemon Master :(

THANKS A LOT NINTENDO!

[fshy00]

*guffaws*

[YellowPainting]

I guess I'm going to catch some bugs now and make them fight to their death.

[larkis]

Truer Words have never been spoken

[GaMatecal]

[quezon90]
