Pokémon Global

About

Pokemon 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

Pokemon 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 Pokemon 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, Pokemon Global merged with Pokemon Online Revolution and has since then gone to produce Alpha Version 3. In May 2008 they hope to step into Beta and allow gamers to enjoy a true Pokemon gaming experience.
