Cocone just confirmed they will implement an English language option for the app. My heart feels so much lighter knowing we can keep our community together instead of drifting apart. Thank you for helping me protect these friendships.

Pokemini by Cocone is an english app for Apple and Android devices where you can customize your look, participate in events and most of all make new friends.

Recently Cocone has announced "We are truly sorry to announce that Pokemini will close its services due to unavoidable circumstances". All players were also encouraged to join the Japanese counterpart Pokecolo which is only available in Japanese.

One may think why do you care so much about a silly app. Well its simply because of all the amazing friendships that I have made with so many different kinds of people all over the world, that I would normally have no contact with.

My goal is not to necessarily to "Save Pokemini" but it is to commemorate it. I understand that Cocone (from the statement above) was unable to prevent Pokemini from shutting down. So my goal with this petition is to help convince Cocone to make an english option in Pokecolo, So that all english players do not have to lose the friendships that they made over Pokemini due to language barriers.

Just to clarify: Our goal is not to remove Japanese from Pokecolo but is to add the option to be able to choose between the Japanese or English language through the settings just like in Line Play.

Seeing the count climb toward our next goal reminds me that these friendships I made on Pokemini meant just as much to all of you. Please reach out to three people who shared this space with us and ask them to sign today so we can be ready for the conversation with Cocone.

Seeing one hundred people come together for this really hits home because I know firsthand how much those friendships mean. It feels validating to see that others are hurting just as much as I am about losing our community space. Thank you for helping me show that our connections in Pokemini deserve to be preserved.

I was so in love with this app. I cried when it got shut down because its one of the very few rare apps that I was actually able to dedicate myself to. I really got into the characters and I loved how involved the community was. I miss all of that❤

I've wanted the English version for a few days now and I'm really struggling with the Japanese to the point I'm screen shoting and going to my google translate app and so on so this would help!!

It's really unfair for them to shut down Pokemini just because they can earn more from Pokecolo. Many of us can not speak Japanese and therefore can not understand the events on Pokecolo. Also, communication with Japanese players for trades are extremely difficult (because Cocone closed the trading center).

I've spent so long playing this game with my best friend and caring for my mini it's actually kinda heartbreaking knowing I can't play with my mini or send my friend gifts. I can't even bring myself to delete the app, I'd love to be able to play the Japanese version in English so I can continue with my mini.

Please make an english option in pokecolo! I love pokemini so much and the grieving of the end of this game would be easier with an english option so i can still talk with my friends. It is very difficult to navigate the japanese version so cocone please consider this!

I adore this app and it’s not bad that it’s in Japanese but only Japanese. I loved this game and finally getting it back.. I don’t know how to play it which makes me sad but I want to start over and have a lot of fun!
