Basically this is an RPG. Alot of things has no set times and you can do stuff all the time. IRC and ICQ is used for this game...but don't worry if you don't have ICQ but you should have IRC.
There is ONE day where everyone should be on for different things this is 6pm EST on Sundays. There we can hold battles, hunts or you can begin a gang war or somthing like that. Alot of this is done through the email...forms and the like or contacting people.
You make money by doin stuff like stealing things, raising pokemon for people, sellin stuff.
Your pokemon can gain levels through battling, daycare raising, and items.
