Well that's the PokeMMO party line, and while I personally think it's somewhat reasonable, you have to understand that the legality is irrelevant. If Nintendo wanted to shut it down, they could. It doesn't matter if it's legal - court costs and time taken to actually deal with a lawsuit would cripple the game. The legality of mods is questionable - companies have certainly succeeded in getting mods of games to be taken down in the past. Again, even if they would win the court battle, see above. Calling it free advertising isn't quite right, and I doubt that it is what Nintendo has in mind anyway. My assumption is that Nintendo would much rather have advertising that actually, you know, made them money. From Nintendo's point of view, this game at best doesn't steal any of their customers, and at worst drives people to give PokeMMO money instead of buying their new games/devices/trash.

  It's possible it has changed in the ~3 years since I asked about this, but this forum won't work on (most/all of) those (iirc security concerns or something).

  You clearly weren't around for the glory days of ch 2. My post was a remembrance for the brave souls who made this game worth playing.   I miss them.

RIP ch2

I'm like 80% positive that this has been suggested before   also, level 60-70 pokemon wouldn't be a challenge (unless you'd tournament mode it so that your pokes were level 50, in which case it could be interesting)

effective bump, well done

  Except that's stupid and doesn't address the issue.  There is a problem: you can't always trust people online, but sometimes you have to (see post above).  This suggestion helps address the consequences of this issue, although not the issue itself.
