-'''Pokémon Global''' is a fan-made Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) coded using Java. Started in August 2007 by former members of PDoA, the game has been coded by Pivot, ZombieBear, Ryan and (in recent times) Sienide. The Development Team consists of many members but regular members make most of the contribution by posting suggestions, maps they've made, game effects they've made and opening discussions about the game.

 == History ==
-Pokémon Global was set up in August 2007 when members of PDoA left PDoA to form their own MMORPG. Since then the team have been coding Pokémon Global using Java and the Eclipse Development Environment. The first demo surfaced in early 2008, showing of the Player versus Player (PvP) engine based on ShoddyBattle. In April 2008, Pokémon Global merged with Pokémon Online Revolution and has since then gone to produce Beta Version 0.15. Since the game is open-source, members can also access the latest build via SVN.

 == NPC System ==
-NPC Trainers in-game will always use Pokémon equal or greater to your current level of skill. This is done by evaluating Pokémon in your party and retrieving an average level. Once the average level is calculated, if the NPC is weaker than you, they'll receive a level boost. The same will go for Gym Leaders until badges can be obtained.
