Pokémon: Magikarp Jump vs Pokemon Planet
Pokémon: Magikarp Jump
Pokémon: Magikarp Jump is some sort like an idle Pokemon game that is centered around collecting and training Magikarps, the tragically hopeless fish Pokemon that seems to have a tendency to leap out of the water it depends on to survive. Being a somewhat idle game, the gameplay in Pokémon: Magikarp Jump is incredibly simple - all you need to do is to tap on the food that pops up on your screen to feed your Magikarp and send it for jump training so it can increase its Jump Power and hence jump higher. Sign your Magikarp up in exciting jumping competitions. The more you win, the higher jumping league your Magikarp will be able to get into.Not to mention, there are tons of different Magikarp (with unique patterns) for you to collect and you can even decorate the the pond you keep your Magikarps in. There are also some Pokemon, other than just Magikarp of course, that will pop up to help you grow your Magikarp, making it stronger and so it can jump higher.

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).
