Please note that Pokémon World Online is a Public BETA project and therefore glitches may occur at any time.

Is it on the WineAppDb? It may be known to not work. Not all applications run in WINE. It's a best effort project. Some applications run well whilst some refuse to even install.

You could contact the developer to express interest in a native Linux client. I'm surprised a client is even being made, most stuff is web based now.

OK i was asking because the game loads in but it seems to connect to the local pc instead of going on the internet to connect to the server

There is a report in https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8085 from someone who was able to run Pokemon World Online Version 1.x with winetricks on Ubuntu 13.04

The report in the wine appdb states that connection to the server should work (not tested and verified by me).

Quote from https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19288
"When logging in, the game client may sometimes indicate that the server is down and you cannot log in, while it is actually up. Click on the login button a second time and it will work."

If (as stated in your original question) "some of the dev of the game have tried with no luck", why do you expect that we can then solve the problem?

Can you help with this problem?
