The Pokemon universe would make an excellent setting for a massively multiplayer online game. Countless people wandering the world, fighting against other trainers and trading Pokemon and gear. When you're not engaged in working with or against others, you'd be busy searching for and catching new Pokemon. The end of dungeon raids would yield rare evolution stones and creatures, prizes to bolster your status as a Pokemon Master.

While there is a single-player campaign to Moonrise, the game's constant connection to the servers means there's unlimited options for PvP. While wandering each area on the world map looking for dungeons, you will find other players doing the same. You can choose to chat with them or challenge them to a duel. Defeating others earns you more rewards, with which you can buy healing items or gear for your warden.
There aren't very many true MMOs in the mobile space at this time. Moonrise is still in early stages yet, but it has a lot of potential to win over that market. It's perfect for short bursts of play, allowing you to dig through a dungeon on your morning commute or fight a quick duel over lunch, with very little fuss and complication. It's a beautiful little piece that will appeal to strategists and the collection-minded, bringing what we love about those types of games into experiences that can be shared.
