Hi, I am new, and I have some questions that I was hoping you could respond to.
1: What's the main differences between this mmo game, and single player Pokémon, such as pokemon yellow/gold/white, etc..
2: How does this game make money or what funding keep its severs running?
2A: Any pay to win aspects, pay to advance, or premium content such as customers/skins? (The gota make money somehow, even if its to fund the severs, unless its pure donations)
3: This may be a sensitive topic, but is this game associated, endorsed, or simply allowed by Nintendo? (or whoever owns pokemon)
4: Can you battle other trainers you meet in the world?
4A: Is there open chat systems? If so, are there rules on what you can say? (is cursing allowed, etc.) If there are rules on what your allowed to say, are they strict about enforcement? Or is it one of those things where we have a rule but they only enforce it rarely if ever. (my preferred way of handling thing, free speech advocate over here)
5: Can you trade with other trainers?
6: How is online interaction handled, do you see other players, can you tell the different between them and npcs? Go on adventures together?
7: Can you elaborate on the home-base system? And how does would find a place to make a "secret base"?
8: Are their story aspects? Team rocket? Missions and side quests? Cut-Scenes?
9: Are gym battle different from the single player games? Do you have to wait your turn to fight a leader? Can you make your own gym and badges?
10: Is there a way to watch other trainers battle? Like observation mode?
11: If there are trainer vs trainer human fights, can you make wagers using in game money? (pokedollars?)
12 Anything else you think I should know?
13: What is the average age of people who play this?
14: How large is the player-base?
