Pokémon World MUCK (commonly PokéWorld MUCK) is a multiuser text-based roleplaying/socialization game, in the same vein as FurryMUCK and other furry MUCKs. While not itself a furry MUCK, it welcomes furries playing Pokémon characters. It resides at faefox.org, port 6969.

The theme of PokéWorld MUCK is that of wild, non-morphic but varyingly sentient, and fully anthropomorphic Pokémon (Pokémorphs) existing in a world divided up into 6 continents. Each has an overall theme, serving as the "homeland" of some of the varied 17 types of Pokémon.

While most of the MUCK's roleplaying is done by freeform roleplay, and combat is not required, there is a fully coded combat system that supports most Pokémon attacks. XP (experience points) are awarded by roleplaying in the presence of three or more active players and in votes received by these players for good, quality roleplaying. Character generation is fairly simple, with copious instruction and assistance from wizards and helpstaff available to new players.
