Untitled online Pokémon project
| This article describes one or more prototypes, which may include information that has already leaked. Although a limited number of screenshots and general information is allowed, linking to ROMs/source code is not allowed, nor is coverage of prototypes of upcoming games. |
The untitled online Pokémon project refers to a unreleased Pokémon game with online support for both the Game Boy Advance and an unknown platform with a "PC screen" (possibly an actual PC) which would have been based on Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions with a number of differences.
Information about this project, linked with a possible peripheral called the NetCard was leaked in 2020 following the 2019 Nintendo, Microsoft data breach case. It was detailed in a presentation attributed to iQue.[1]
General information[edit]
The game would allow the player to catch up to 30 Pokémon offline, but more Pokémon could be stored online and accessed with an additional option at the PC. A "Treasure Hunt" feature was also planned, presumably for receiving items online.
Similar to the eventual Pokémon GO, it would have had features linked to the player's location; specifically weather conditions matching the player's IP address and a distribution of Pokémon specific to the location. Upon chatting to an old man and old lady, the player would be able to receive a pseudorandom Egg online.
Planned releases[edit]
The base Game Boy Advance game was planned for a release between July-August 2005, with new content including an online tournament mode controlled with the Game Boy Advance but with display on the PC screen in February-March 2006. Furthermore, between July-August 2006 it was planned that the player would be able to capture new Pokémon online.[2]
