Hello guys, I'm quite a well known member of PN so I though I'd light some information about it.

It would be weird if they just asked them to change their site name, but allowed them to keep the game.

I don't think that they shut us down just for the domain. They did request us to transfer over the domain to them, but we are fighting to keep it as they have no rights to it.

Most of the graphics in Pokenet was custom made, we didn't claim rights to the Pokemon and didn't make any profit. In fact, we didn't even put up ads on our website/forums and didn't accept donations. It was completely free while the developers paid $80 a month for servers. Yet we still got shut down. >_<

The Pokenet community is still around and we are considering changing our content to something else.

From what I understand, Pokenet was shut down because Nintendo felt that it might tarnish the rep of Pokemon. While there are numerous PokeMMOs out there, most are still in development and Pokenet was nearing completion.

Duke:
As long as PU doesn't do something stupid like clain Pikachu as it's own creation I think it oughta be ok.
