I hadn't played in a while, since maybe July of this year, and I updated the game yesterday to see what was new. I went to open the game today and saw that there was a new update released this morning. However, unlike yesterday the updater just sits at the "Loading updater information..." and never progresses. Is this normal on update day with multiple people trying to update at once, or is this an isolated issue that can be fixed and if so, how? Thank you ❘ Published: 2020-07-25T17:49:22 ❘ Updated: 2020-07-25T17:49:22 A massive leak of Nintendo data revealed that a Pokemon MMO game was being considered for PC in 2004. The scrapped online project was based on the popular Fire Red and Leaf Green titles. Ever since the popular RPG made its debut on the Game Boy in 1996, players from around the world have dreamed of an MMO Pokemon game. An online interactive version of Kanto or Hoenn would be a dream come true. However a major leak of Nintendo data on July 24 revealed that a project like that was almost a reality. The scrapped plans would have brought the franchise to PC, and connected users’ Game Boy Advance consoles. The Pokemon Company The 2004 Game Boy Advance titles could have been part of an MMO. Scrapped Pokemon MMO revealedOn July 24, a massive leak of Nintendo data made its way online, where a variety of cancelled games and proposed projects were discovered. One of those was an online Pokemon game that would have been made for PC in 2004. Outlet ‘Centro Pokemon’ uploaded slides to Twitter for the cancelled project, and revealed the release was being worked on by iQue. Interestingly, the game would have required players to hook up their GBA consoles to their PC to use it as a controller.
The MMO-like release would have allowed Trainers to connect with other players online to trade, battle, and chat, as well as compete in tournaments. It also would have included an offline mode which could played on the GBA.
Other features from the proposed project include:
Game Freak / Nintendo Many of the features of the MMO project have been implemented in the 2019 release Sword & Shield. While the concept of connecting a GBA as a controller for the PC may sound outdated today, a lot of the ideas proposed in the online project were incredibly ahead of their time. Many of the features sound extremely similar to what we have today in Sword & Shield.
For instance, the Switch release lets you connect online with other players in the Wild Area where you can trade and take on Raid Battles together. The Gen VIII game also has weather changes based on your internet connection and clock. Still, one can’t help but wonder what could have been if we had gotten a proper MMO. A region is an organized area of the Pokémon world. There are at most seventeen known regions that have appeared in the various Pokémon canons. Most regions are structured similarly. Typically, a region has its own Pokémon League, which includes eight Gym Leaders. Once these eight are defeated, Pokémon Trainers can challenge the regional Elite Four and Champion. Each region also has a Pokémon Professor who teaches new Trainers about Pokémon and typically gives out starter Pokémon to them. Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what legends there are waiting to be uncovered. There are currently four regions implemented in the game. These are:
TravelAfter collecting four badges, players are able to travel between the four regions. Under two badges, Mother can be asked to return the player to another region they have already visited. Traveling to a region where the player has not been before starts the storyline of the region and returns all party Pokémon to the PC. Level Caps, Key Items and Hidden Machines are regional and not brought over to other regions. PiratesThere is a Pirate with a Chatot, an NPC character in every region's port city. Talking to them will allow the player to choose a region and travel.
