do you have to download it and if you do does it cost anything?
how does it work? is it a different system to play the game or is it part of redshark?

so is it another system or is it part of redshark?
so with redshark i can't play with others online? so why does it say that you can?
so it's only a network? sorry for all the questions and for PokeChamp having to answer all of them XP. Thanks for all the help!
You do not need Hamachi.
You need to start the game within 30 seconds of each other, i.e. you need to talk in real time. And you need to know your IP numbers.
You can play online without Hamachi, by replacing its functions with other free online services, such as xat.com (IMHO, xat.com would be better to use than Hamachi, as there is no limit to the number of ppl in a chat room) and http://whatismyipaddress.com/
Hamachi is free to download. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be recommended.

I don't get it...again. Can you play online without hamachi or xat or anything else? Can I just download redshark and play online?
No, you have to have hamachi or another program such as xat to play online.
Theoretically, yes, you can. But it is impractical.
Both you and your opponent need to click "Start" within 30 seconds of each other, and you need to know who is hosting and who is the guest. The guest needs to know the IP address of the host to connect to.
Think of it like a sniper rifle and a scope. You don't technically "need" the scope to shoot a small faraway target, but you just won't hit it reliably without one. Hamachi is one good scope, but there are others you can use.
As I said, you need to talk to your prospective opponent in real time, and to know your/their IP address. Redshark does not provide such functionality. Hamachi does. You can replace Hamachi with other, similar services, but you do need the type of service it provides.
Hamachi does not intertwine with Redshark or anything like that. It's just a chat room program that gives you an IP address. You can use any other chat room instead if you like, but you do need a chat room.
