API

[fredrichnietze]

There should be an API that can do the following,

•  Show 1st slot pokemon stats (level, hp, mp, xp)
• Show trainer stats (gym badges wins/loses)
• This I know wont happen but the ability for programmers to create chat bots that can give useful info (assuming chat is irc)
• if you make bots possible I recommend 20-50 messages per day in main channel and unlimited whisper
• Also, add an option for users to ignore bots completely (if you make a HTTPS/HTTP api this should be simple)
• finally, an api to look to see who has the "must accept battles pokemon"

since he does not have enough post im posting for him. it seems like a api could make modding pokemmo easier, as well as allow a wider range of mods. since pokemmo is encouraging mods now, this seems like a good idea to me.

 

pros

think "nexus" 

bragging rights "we have an API and none of the other fan games/official ones do"

 

cons

might be easier to make botting software? 

programming time

Not sure at all, i may be wrong, but i think this game is not API oriented at all, its slightly different to code something to work with API's and just put the pure code on the table.

 

The list of things you suggest will take time to develop.
