Rumors have started circulating that the killer GameCube online app IS actually in the works, but there's a chance we won't see it until at least this time next year. Let's face it, if that's the timeline, what good is it?
If that's true, well that's pathetic. I doubt Pokemon will be nearly as popular in one year.
I'm not excited about this at all. If I want to battle people online, there's already free programs to satiate my desires. Other then that, I don't see how much more they could do with Pokemon Online.
