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.

@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.

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.

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

@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 :-/

Bugs fighting to the death...

@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

for the glory of a REAL WORLD WIDE POKEMON!

[KingofGames012]

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

[themetal2001]

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

[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 :(

@SDANightlark That would be fantastic.
