 Lately, there has been some stuff going on about a Pokemon MMORPG. Granted, it does exist, however, there is a problem with some of the links popping up via GoogleAds.

The following has been posted up on Pokeplushies, and I checked this with the main site itself, so it is actually true.

If this hasn't been brought up yet, it needs to be brought up now.
The Ads on your website about the pokemon MMORPG link to the wrong website.

Please do not visit www.pokemonworldonline.info.
The following message has been posted on the true Pokemon World Online website. Please read it.

"It has come to our attention that a website with the address www.onlinepokemongame.info, has been advertising our game and distributing a download. The website begins with the disclaimer: "To download and play the Pokemon World Online game you must also download and install Zango. It's free and very easy to install and will give you access to the full game."

If you are directed to the site, DO NOT DOWNLOAD the game there at any cost! Zango is an Adware program that forces adverts to appear on your computer and can download other malicious software onto your computer. Using the game offered by onlinepokemongame.info will download Zango to your computer and possibly invade your privacy!

We would like to remind our users that only the five sites listed below are official websites. Downloads from these sites are 100% safe and adware-free, and using them means you always have the latest and greatest version of our game:

* www.pokemonworldonline.net
* www.theonlinepokemonproject.com
* www.pokemon-world-online.com
* www.pokemonworldonline.org
* www.pokemonworldsonline.com


Onlinepokemongame.info is NOT an official site and we have nothing to do with it, so steer clear! If, however, you have downloaded a copy of our game from onlinepokemongame.info, you should delete it immediately and scan your computer for Adware. This topic on our Forums explains exactly how to do this, and gives more detail on the Zango scandal, so please check it out! And please everyone, remember golden rule number two of the internet: Always go for the OFFICIAL sources! Happy training!"
It's probably a good idea if you remove that Ad from your website. :o

So just to make clear on this, if you do click on this banner here, and download the files, we will NOT be responsible for it, as it is not our fault, nor will Online Pokemon Game take responsibilities for the damage done, as it is not their fault also.

Hope you guys are careful, and have fun gaming!

 If you need help removing the program, use Ad-aware to help remove most of the things. However, for larger parts of the program, you will need a program called Hi-JackThis, along with a forum that deals with the logs generate by this program.
