sure I guess. I was thinking we could use the same chat host as my favorite pokemon websites use. Bulbapedia, and Serebii both use http://www.lightirc.com/

Bulbapedia can be seen here. However I have to say that Bulbapedia doesn't seem to work all the time and often has problems

Serebii's can be seen here.

LightIRC's chat rooms are great, you can add more functions to them. They have pings for you when you say a User/Guest's name (and even higlights the message). Only down side is that there are no emotes and sometimes blocks faces like :) to just a normal space. You can also create "sub groups" and Personal messages. by using "hashtags" I.E.: #Bulbagarden. Serebii has automatic subgroups but you can also click on them if they are in "hashtag link" for PMs you just simply click on a user's name and just click "Personal message". Bulbapedia is a great example for adding more funcations (I.e. /p bidoof would of brought up Bidoof's pokemon entry. Or use /img raichu would bring up a picture of raichu.) However since Bulbagarden's chat is down latly it would be hard to see those.

I do not the exact way to put up these chats. But considering how most of pur users are nerdy (in a good way) and know a lot about this stuff, I wouldn't find it too diffacult.
