Following up on the story regarding a full-fledged Pokemon title on the Wii, it also looks like a MMO entry in the series can be ruled out for now as well. Pokemon Platinum game director Junichi Masuda reiterated the importance of “real-world communication” and how players are unable to “see each other online.”
“At this point, we’re not thinking of going in that direction [MMO]. Trading is a core concept of Pokémon. So when you’re trading, you meet with a friend and decide which one you want and which one they want. I would like to emphasize real-world communication. You don’t see each other online.”
