About

Pokémon Global is a fan-made Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) coded using Java. Started in August 2007 by former members of PDoA, the game has been coded by Pivot, ZombieBear, Ryan and (in recent times) Sienide. The Development Team consists of many members but regular members make most of the contribution by posting suggestions, maps they've made, game effects they've made and opening discussions about the game.

History

Pokémon Global was set up in August 2007 when members of PDoA left PDoA to form their own MMORPG. Since then the team have been coding Pokémon Global using Java and the Eclipse Development Environment. The first demo surfaced in early 2008, showing of the Player versus Player (PvP) engine based on ShoddyBattle. In April 2008, Pokémon Global merged with Pokémon Online Revolution and has since then gone to produce Beta Version 0.15. Since the game is open-source, members can also access the latest build via SVN.

Features

Beta 0.15

This is the current public release. Beta version 1 will feature:
- Login/Registration
- Starter Pokémon Selection
- Chat
- Wild Pokémon
- Catching (including Boxes)
- Leveling/Evolution
- Pokémon Center and Pokemart
- Johto (currently mapped up to Route 31, more still to be added for the next release)

Beta 0.2

This is the next release due in early July. It will feature all of 0.15's features along with:
- Player vs. Player Battles (wagers can be placed on battles also) - Trading (Items/Pokemon/Money) - Team Creation / Joining - NPC Battles (including Gym Leaders) - Private Chat

NPC System

NPC Trainers in-game will always use Pokémon equal or greater to your current level of skill. This is done by evaluating Pokémon in your party and retrieving an average level. Once the average level is calculated, if the NPC is weaker than you, they'll receive a level boost.

Pokézine

The Pokézine is Pokémon Global's Official Magazine. All the articles are submitted by members and include interviews with the staff, latest news from Nintendo, information about various Pokémon Games, Pokémon of the Issue and more. The Lead Designer of the Pokezine, Psycho, designs everything using Adobe Flash and releases a new issue every few weeks.
