Dinoparc

Here's something new in the world of virtual pet gaming. Adopt a dinosaur in Dinoparc (actually you'd have to buy them with free coins). Most of its game features are standard which includes exploration, evolution and fighting other dinos. An interesting component added in battles involves some elemental analysis. For example, thunder is strong against air and fire but is weak against earth and water. The game also hosts tournaments as an opportunity to gain medals and some recognition. Players can even join or start their own clans to challenge others in a Clan War. Overall this virtual pet game is somewhat entertaining to play casually on your free time.

Best Virtual Pet Community

If you're a kid and never heard of Neopets, you're still missing out the real fun of online gaming. This virtual pet site has been around since 1999 and was worth USD 160 million when Viacom bought the company. Now it has registered almost 150 million accounts with over 200 million pets worldwide. While the site is primarily built using html/php languages, most of the games are flash/shockwave-based. Unlike many other browser games, neopets can be played at your own pace, although following the storyline and tournaments are entertaining and would benefit you more. But when you find yourself logging in and out every hour or so, you might want to subscribe to its premium package for the extra services for a more dynamic gameplay.

Pokemon Crater Battle Arena

The gaming concept of PokemonCrater is similar to the original Pokemon RPGs on gameboy in which players collect or trade Pokemon and battle them out. Nevertheless, it is still one of the better web games available out there for Pokemon lovers. Both the Pokedex and site functionalities are being constantly expanded to accommodate more fun. Unfortunately, the maps seem to be overcrowded with more players than the available moving spaces. The game play itself is pretty self-explanatory but the site forum will provide more help if necessary. Overall, this game is worth trying but be warned that it may get quite monotonous after a while.
