Nintendo is well within the rights to shut them down, saying that "it isnt hurting their ip at all" is a stupid argument as they shut down 500+ games on gamejolt, games that haven't even been completed yet, all of which did not have the same size following as these MMOs. I do not want to join their game as I despice MMOs and the ideals of the genre, espeically as an archivist. If a game is gone and you can never play it again, it pisses me off. This site is full of server files/emulators and I'm suprised games the size of PokeMMO and this do not have emulators
