No, Maple Story is nothing like Pokemon. O.O" NOTHING.
It's an MMORPG(Massively-Multiplayer-Online-Role-Playing-Game).
The game is both good and bad, addictive and repelling at the same time. xD (Depending on someones views. @.@)
[SIZE=14pt]Good things about Maple Story[/SIZE]
Some good things about MS are...
-You get to create your own character and customize it! :]
-You get to choose what you want to be. Like a "Magician, warrior, rogue, or archer".
And when you get to a higher level, you get to upgrade your job to something better!
For example If your a rouge, once you get to level 30 you can upgrade your job to either a Assassin or a Bandit. And if you get to an even higher level, you can upgrade your job once again!
-It's easy to make a lot of friends! And there are a lot of cool "Party Quests" You can do with your friends or even with complete strangers to get EXP. :3
-The attacks and skills you can do are pretty cool
-The graphics are very well done
-There are over thousands and thousands of items to customize your character with. ^^"
-The world of Maple Story is quite large, and theres always new places to explore
-You can even get married to someone in the game! O.O" Lol. I married my boyfriend. :]
-You can even get pets to train and take care of in the game
[SIZE=14pt]Bad things about Maple Story[/SIZE]
Here are some bad things about MS...
-To tell you the truth. There isn't a real meaning to the game other then LEVEL UP. So it can get boring. Fast.
-A lot of the cool looking items, and clothes in the game you have to BUY. With real money. Soooo that gets annoying.
-Some people can be pretty rude. But yet, thats life.
-The game can get hella repetitive. X_X"
----------
And well, thats pretty much it! xD
But I must say, the good qualities of the game overrun the bad parts of it.
And it is a game I suggest you get!
