    Wouldn't it be a nice idea to port Pokemon Online over(as a Homebrew) to a Console? I'm shure the number of players would highly increase. I could image playing the game would become extremely comfortable.
    What do you think? How hard would it be?

    Actually, they can. And probably will.

    Basically, we can port it to 3DS. Of course, we need permission of Nintendo, Game Freak, and blabla. To use, Sprites, Sounds, etc. And i don't think they would allow us.

    But PS3? Never.
     
  7. Advantages:

    People with internet difficulties will be able to access through their consoles, and more than one way to play PO is always a good thing. :D

    The amount of players will highly increase due to the advantage above. :)

    Disadvantages:

    We may end up becoming a company of somewhat depending if Nintendo themselves have any problem against this.

    Inappropriate language is commonly used online, and this may be a problem for younger players.


    All in all, it's an interesting idea but a large concern is about what Nintendo and Gamefreak have to say about this. Therefore, I think it could be a better idea to keep it internet only...

    Seriously, I don't think it is a good idea... Once I was likely to ask for an Iphone/Ipad app, but then I realized that doing everything that involves companies would bring troubles to this place (Nintendo bothering about copyright on sprites/cries/names). We are a non-profit, open, free happy island on the internet sea, let's stay this way.
