In April 2008, Pokémon Global merged with Pokémon Online Revolution and has since then gone on to produce beta version 0.5. The game featured parts of the Johto region in 0.22 and nearly the full region in 0.5. Due to an internal clash between the previous admins/leaders of Pokemon Global and Pokemon Online Revolution, the team was entirely reconstructed in June 2008. Previous admins Pivot (Pokémon Global) and Sienide (Pokémon Online Revolution ) were replaced by Fshy as admin. With Ryan and Viride serving as co-admins. Pivot and Sienide still remained on the teams as programmers. GaMa offered the team his server, to make the game more widely playable. In January 2009, Pokémon Global Beta 0.5 was released and expanded the game dramatically. With this release came a high demand for new content not seen in previous Pokémon games. ObIivion joined the team as Lead Quests & Events Designer in February 2009, and in the coming months the game featured a variety of events including Buneary being catachable in wild grass in Johto over Easter, to Lance showing up in Cherrygrove city as a developer controlled NPC and would battle trainers (for a game that didn't yet feature the Elite 4, this was a big deal). | In April 2008, Pokémon Global merged with Pokémon Online Revolution and has since then gone on to produce beta version 0.5.

NPC Trainers in-game will always use Pokémon equal or greater to the player's current level of skill. This is done by evaluating Pokémon in the party and retrieving an average level.
