But why would they want PC/web-based experience?
e: Not that they specifically state that it's for Pokemon Company International.
Could this be the MMO we've been waiting for?
Quote:PC or web games.

Though a big time MMO would require something like a PC, and they're asking for PC/web producers (not programmers). They specifically said that they're not in the Microsoft Xbox360/Sony Playstation 3 war so there is that possibility, especially since Sony has been releasing MMO's (Everquest 2, Vanguard, Star Wars Galaxies) for Windows and they're the two fighting. They even have the Everquest line on the PS2 itself.

I doubt those xenophobes would let anyone else touch the franchise.They're not asking for developers or anything else that would mean "outsider infection". They're asking for producers, like the ones NoA has. I believe that the artists they're looking for are Japanese.

Only better.Well, considering that they're also looking for 3D artists, I find this unlikely. I wouldn't go all extravagant with 3D art and all for just a "little community". You could easily hire a couple vector artists cheaper than a team of 3D artists.

I don't remember exactly what it was but I think it was just a point & Click game (I might be the only one to remember this...)PokeROM?

I'm not sure how to feel about an official Pokemon MMO. Probably better than I would about a Pokemon Facebook game.
