Digimon Masters Online vs Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Digimon Masters Online
Digimon Masters Online is an MMORPG that's inspired from the hugely popular (well, at least back in the 90s) Pokemon-like, digital monster-collecting franchise, Digimon. Here, you get to play as a up-and-coming Digimon trainer (if you're starting to see similarities between Pokemon and this game, you're not wrong!) where you will set off on an adventure of your own across a beautiful virtual world teeming with a wide variety of digital monsters for you to capture and collect. These monsters can also grow alongside their trainers and eventually evolve into better, and usually much cooler-looking, versions of themselves. All of these exciting features are unfortunately wrapped around a pretty standard MMORPG gameplay though, which does make the game seem like a ton of wasted potential.That being said, Digimon Masters Online is an MMORPG that players will really love especially if they like games with a "pet" (the word is used subjectively)-collection aspect. It's no Pokemon Go, admittedly, but it's really close to experiencing what it is to be a Digimon trainer.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the exciting new "prequel" to the highly popular Pokemon franchise. Step into the world of Hisui, which will be known as Sinnoh in the future, the era way before the mainline Pokémon games in this game. Go on excursions to explore the vast region, surveying, catching, and studying Pokémon you meet along the way. Set out from Jubilife village, and visit the neighboring areas throughout the region, like other settlements and breathtaking locales. Though there are no gym leaders, you’ll meet wardens and Frenzied Pokémon who need your help. Apart from intense Pokémon battles, you’ll need to calm down rampaging Frenzied Pokémon through balms and other tactics.In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you’ll play as either Rei or Akari, part of the Galaxy Team of the Survey Corps. Your goal is to meet and survey every Pokémon in the region to complete the region’s first-ever Pokédex. You’ll meet various characters along the way, like Professor Laventon, Commander Kamado, various merchants, and the members of the Pearl and Diamond Clan.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is not your typical “come-of-age story” and “challenge the Pokémon League adventure”. It’s an all-new type of quest where you don’t have to be the best: you just have to catch’em all!
