Official Competition, Nnooo
The word Nnooo describes not only how I feel about this official competition, but the name of the company that is providing it.
Nnooo, the company responsible for the release of the WiiWare game PoP has pitched the idea of a Pokémon MMORPG. This would be a great leap in the progress to create a Pokémon MMO, but would however be detrimental to the fan community that has been working on creating one.
This is where the problem comes, we fully support the idea of an official MMORPG, but will it be what we want? Will it support the things we want, and will Nintendo even approve and license it?
Another interesting thought that has come up is, would Nnooo be interested in joining the Pokémon Net Consortium? The group of developers from Pokémon: Den of Ages, PoKéQuesT, PokéGlobal, and some other top Pokémon MMOs who are working together to provide interactivity and portability between the different games.
What would they gain? What would they loose? It would certainly provide more backing from the fan-community for them to have roots with the fans involving ideas and maybe even data portability. I do wonder where this will go.
