      I’m confused as to how that one wasn’t shut down years ago, but others like this have been.

        They tell all of their users that they must have a legitimate physical copy of Pokemon Firered, which is what PokeMMO was hacked from

        They are very clever in how they handle Nintendo IP. Firstly, you must bring your own legitimate copies of the necessary titles:

        Fire red Black/white Heartgold/soulsilver Emerald Platinum

        Then they don’t sell any Nintendo IP. Anything that is sold is either loosely based off Nintendo IP, or custom in-house design.

        Granted, I’m still surprised it’s not been taken down somehow, but I’m over 1k hours into the game and I’m loving it.
