PokeUO – A New Open World Pokémon MMORPG (Looking for Contributors)

[Lucadecastro]

Hello, my name is Luan, also known as “Stoic,” and I’m from Brazil.


Welcome to PokeUO — a unique and ambitious project unlike anything currently out there. The goal is to create a fully immersive Pokémon MMORPG experience using the Ultima Online framework, combining the best elements of both worlds.

This is not just another Pokémon game. The idea is to reimagine the classic Ultima Online systems within a Pokémon universe, creating a true open-world experience that fans have always dreamed of.

Core Features:

• Turn-based Pokémon battles integrated into an open-world MMORPG
• Professions, crafting, and resource gathering adapted to the Pokémon universe
• A player-driven economy with meaningful roles and services
• Player-run Gyms, Elite Four systems, Poké Centers, and more

Planned Expansions & Systems:

• Breeding, training, and competitive progression systems
• Exploration-focused gameplay with rare encounters and world events
• PvP and PvE content, including tournaments and seasonal challenges
• Factions or organizations (trainers, breeders, hunters, etc.)
• Housing and world interaction inspired by UO
• Custom regions, quests, and storyline progression

This is currently a fan-driven project with no funding, built purely out of passion. I am looking for people who love both Ultima Online and Pokémon and are willing to contribute in any way — development, design, art, ideas, or testing.

There is a lot of work ahead, but the vision is clear: to create a completely new experience that brings together two legendary worlds and delivers something truly special for both communities.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Currently, I am developing a data-driven system to integrate Pokémon into the Ultima Online framework, focusing on scalable creature definitions, stats, abilities, and future battle mechanics.
