Elsword Online vs Pokemon Planet
Elsword Online
Elsword Online is an anime-themed, 2D side-scrolling MMORPG where players can hack and slash their way through throngs of enemies while earning combo effects to deal maximum damage. There are up to 5 specialized characters for you to choose from and you can upgrade their fighting styles by taking on new job classes as you progress in the game. The game also boasts of having huge immersive maps that will surely delight any explorers as well as challenging and fun PvE and PvP events for both solo and group settings. If you loved playing Grand Chase, then you’ll be interested to know that Elsword Online is developed by the very same developing team.Elsword has recently been rather aggressively marketed through video ads featuring its amazingly catchy promo video, but this shouldn't deter anyone, even those who abhor heavy advertising, from truly checking the game out. This game is brilliant in its own right and will definitely appeal to players who love anime and/or Maplestory.
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).
