What is your first though when you saw that screenshot? Being a nerd who played all the game boy Pokémon games, this is like being told that Firefly will finally be renewed for a second season…although that’s another nerd thing.
The above screenshot is of Pokémon: Den Of Ages, an online multiplayer port of the popular Pokémon game series that has been around for ten years. Developed by a man who goes by the name of Silver, there’s nothing much to say other than the game is fucking fun. The start of the game puts you in a town as it always does, but rather than have to go through all painful storylines and the like, you go into the laboratory, pick a Pokémon, then go and start playing. The game is constantly under construction, but enough works for the game to be enjoyable.
You can chat, catch Pokémon, and battle any players you encounter in the wild; which for me is all I’d really need in a Pokémon MMO. The game, being under development all the time, means new features are being added all the time. There are still a few minor bugs, but nothing that really affect gameplay or disrupts the experience.
If you like Pokémon, you need to join in and start playing the game (which you just lost). The main website for Pokémon: Den Of Ages, complete with a download (of awesomeness) for the game, can be found at http://pdoa.mmogamez.com/.

Yes! I downloaded it and had a quick look for about a minute. Definately playing it tomorrow once I get home from school.
“What is your first thought when you saw that screenshot?”
“Eww, ugly Windows Aero!”
Damn you skittles, lost the game
