As some of you know, I am having a poking war with a muslim friend. link

he just invited me to join this group called Poking is Haraam. Haraam basically means "forbid."

from the group description:
The longheld debate regarding the legitmacy of facebook poking has come to a head as scholars from all jurisprudential schools have clearly and unequivocally echoed their sentiments that poking is indeed haram.
Largely using "qiyas" (analogical) reasoning, while poking in the real world is clearly haram because of non-mahram contact, poking in the virtual world, scholars have concluded, carries equal if not greater violation of the law.

Because its means are far less sketchy, scholars have avoided labeling facebook messaging in the same category. However, scholars of the 7 mathahib have almost entirely placed 'facebook messaging' without prior in-person contact in the "makruh" (inadvisable) category.

A minority school of thought adds that, by extension, Pokemon is also haram.
