disappointing news
From The Lost Media Wiki
buddypoke has been reduced into an NFT grift :-( the official website (which dates as far back as may 6th 2008) has now became some NFT advertising thingy where alot of avatars in the buddypoke style are being sold as well, NFTs.
archives of the website: https://web.archive.org/web/20080901000000*/https://buddypoke.com/ the website now: https://buddypoke.com/
