Pokemon Online sooner than you think

May 20th 2007 11:38PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Fans strive to show off their fanaticism towards a game, and it tends to get a bit on the ugly side. If Nintendo has elite lawyers, and I believe all corporations do, I should not have heard about POL. I recently heard about it though. Perhaps it's because Nintendo does not really care about POL, or more fortunately Nintendo has authorized POL. I also visited other online pokemon games which use the same sprites and found them very shabby. I think the root cause of mudslinging from other fans is the ability of the POL admins, who are also fans, to bring an online game that is competent enough for a real gamer's taste. It seems that POL is a threat to many fan communities and other online pokemon games that Haris' exclusion is not very surprising. Patronage will shift more to the POL site and the online game, leaving the petty group of fans with a lesser or without a community. How about instead of excluding Haris and POL, all fans join together and do a petition for an online pokemon game? Things might go better without the POL forums. This situation is strikingly similar to one in a Greek story - a powerful authority does unkind deeds towards a mere human looker because of vanity and competition of patronage.

Pokemon Online taunts Nintendo's lawyers

One thing about the AdSense. If they were making profits off AdSense, how are they making profits? From ads, that is, they are making proftis from ads. In other words, you, the Internet surfer, can download the client for FREE, create an account for FREE, and see the loaded ads for FREE. You can also view the sprites and other property for FREE. Having your ads posted by POL admins is another story though, that is, it is not free. From the conclusions, I signed up for POL because I'm a fan of Pokemon.
