Terms of Service
Basic usage terms and legal disclaimers for the current version of Pokemon Nexus.
Pokémon, Pokémon character names, images, and related media are all trademarks and copyrights of Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures Inc. Pokemon Nexus is a non-profit, fan-made educational project. We do not claim any ownership over the Pokémon franchise or its intellectual property. This game is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo.
1. Nature of the Service
Pokemon Nexus operates strictly as a browser-based textual and image simulation. By accessing and playing this game, you acknowledge and agree that:
- You are not downloading, hosting, or sharing official Nintendo ROMs, game engine files, or proprietary source code.
- All interactive gameplay is simulated through independent web code written by our developers to emulate the experience of a monster-catching game.
- This project is created strictly for the enjoyment of the fan community and to practice modern web development skills.
2. Donations and Server Upkeep
Pokemon Nexus is, and always will be, completely free to play. However, hosting a game for a large player base requires expensive servers, databases, and bandwidth.
- Any purchases of premium subscriptions, ranks, or donations are strictly voluntary contributions to the project.
- 100% of these funds are routed directly toward paying for web hosting, domain renewals, and server infrastructure.
- The creators and staff of Pokemon Nexus do not retain any of these funds for personal financial profit.
- Because donations are immediately allocated to server costs, all purchases are final and non-refundable.
3. Acceptable Use & Fair Play
To maintain a stable server environment and a fair economy for all users, players must adhere to the following guidelines. Violations will result in account suspension or a permanent ban:
- Do not abuse, attack (DDoS), disrupt, or attempt to hack the site's servers or database.
- Do not use auto-clickers, macros, bots, browser extensions, or any third-party software to automate gameplay.
- Do not exploit bugs or visual glitches for an unfair advantage. If you discover a vulnerability, you are required to report it to staff.
- Do not harass other players, use hate speech, or utilize offensive language in chat or usernames.
- Do not impersonate staff members or pretend to represent Pokemon Nexus in an official capacity.
4. Account Responsibility
Your account security is your own responsibility. We provide the tools to keep it safe, but you must use them correctly.
- You are entirely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, regardless of who is playing.
- Keep your password safe and do not reuse passwords from other websites. Staff will never ask for your password.
- Trading, selling, or buying accounts for real-world currency (RWT) is strictly prohibited and will result in the permanent ban of all associated accounts.
5. Project Availability & Data Loss
Pokemon Nexus is an active prototype currently in development. By creating an account and playing, you accept the inherent risks of a beta environment:
Because the game is constantly being updated, balanced, and overhauled, your gameplay progress, inventory, or stored data may occasionally need to be reset, wiped, or adjusted as we build better systems.
Features may change, break, or be removed entirely at any time. The site is provided "as-is" without any warranties or guarantees of permanent uptime, uninterrupted access, or freedom from bugs.
