Aura Kingdom vs Pokemon Planet
Aura Kingdom
Aura Kingdom is an anime-themed MMORPG that features a well-written storyline, stunning graphics and amusing dialogues that make the game feel vibrant. The game also provides players with an exciting and dynamic combat system to enjoy the game with.Aura Kingdom focuses mainly on the PvE aspect, and thus, you can expect tons of dungeon raids, quests (which are unfortunately a bit grindy) and even world bosses to hunt for. Of course, that is not to say that Aura Kingdom doesn't have any PvP arenas either - it does. The most unique part in this game though is its Pokemon-like Eidolons that you can collect. In some way, this urge to collect will drive you to great lengths to search for every Eidolon you can find.
The gameplay in Aura Kingdom is admittedly not very unique. Even the Eidolon-collecting part, although it is still very enjoyable, has been done multiple times before... some by browser-based games nonetheless! But this game just oozes out charm by the truck load and this is something that might convince you to stay (in the game).
Pokemon Planet
Pokemon Planet is a Pokemon-themed, MMO adventure-RPG where you'll not only get to strive to "become the very best like no one ever was"; you'll also be able to assemble a team of Pokemon from various generations/regions (except the ones from Alola). It even features graphics that will definitely twinge that sense of nostalgia in your heart, especially for those who have loved Pokemon ever since their childhood days.The game plays out pretty much like the usual handheld Pokemon games of old, except that this time around, the game is an MMO and hence, you can actually interact with other players in the game. This does make trading Pokemon or dueling a lot easier. However, since the game is not Nintendo-affiliated, the developers are restricted from using certain assets of the franchise, which apparently includes animation and sound effects, but oddly enough, that exclude all the Pokemon designs and every other game element in the game like Gyms and Pokemon Centers.
Although Pokemon Planet is not a Nintendo-created game, it is the sort of Pokemon game that fans of the franchise have always dreamed of. It has the entire package, from the nostalgic graphics to all the Pokemon you can possibly catch (and then to duel other players with). Personally, I believe Pokemon has always been a game that's just primed for an MMO game, and Pokemon Planet simply one-up Nintendo by turning that into a reality (first).
