). There are also "teams" (guilds/clans basically) where you can group together with like-minded people, or create your own team for the paltry sum of 15000 pokédollars* (though the name TeamRocket is already taken). And of course there are regular player-hosted tournaments in these teams.The game is completely Free-to-Play, with everything being accessible, though there is an item shop for cosmetic (wings for you character) and XP-boost items (X% increases in XP gain), in addition to a donation system to support server costs. Though for copyright reasons the PokéMMO download only provides the tools for client-server communication, but you still need to load in a Pokémon FireRed ROM to actually play (and there's an option to cross-load the SoulSilver/HeartGold ROMs to add extra vanity features, such as having your pokémon follow you around). Detailed instructinos are on the download page.

I hope to see you guys in-game soon, I've made my lair in Channel 2, so make sure to swing by when you have the chance (my in-game name is Aranti, btw). And maybe we'll even duel! (though I suggest you train your pokémon a bit first
)*in-game currency, gained from battling NPCs, no real-money payments needed.
note: because almost everything happens server-side and they're more-or-less running on donations, they're trying to keep server load as small as possible, this means that stuff like friend/team requests do not get stored, so you can only send a friend request to a person who is both online and on the same channel as you are. Your friends/team gets stored, don't worry about that, but it can make it tricky to add someone.
