If your using C++ I'd suggest checking out Dark GDK. It's free so you can't go wrong with that.

As for building your epic PokeMMO. Take your idea, put it in a box labeled ideas, and file it under 'future projects once I've learned how to create less complex games' drawer.

Start small! You'll get flamed any other way.

Meanwhile, you can take this thread and file it under "threads that I should not have started"...

Yes. Yes, I did.

Anyways, to contribute a bit more to this, I'd say that if you're wondering what game-making tool is best, you're most definitely not skilled enough to make a 2D MMORPG.

I don't think asking our opinion on what the best libraries/ toolset for this project might be indicate Symbol's programming ability or skill level. The question I have is what have you done before? DarkGDK is pretty good, I have not used it in awhile so I would think it has gotten even better. The other question is do you have anyone to help you, a MMO is a tall order and for one person to tackle it is a road to insanity.
