It's the same website. I actually wasn't aware the address had hyphens in it until you mentioned it. I always typed it out without hyphens.

pokemon-world-online.net is a separate domain, still licensed under the same people.

However, as pokemon-world-online.net (with the playerdex and contents of the game itself) is registered to non-US domain registration and hosting found here by a simple WHOIS, probably to avoid copyright issues:

While the front page domain pokemonworldonline.net was Registered with Onshore domain registration:

   Domain servers in listed order:

      NS71.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

      NS72.DOMAINCONTROL.COM



Also to better their Search Engine Optimization techniques so more players can find the game, which doesn't host any part of the game in question and said copyright issues except uses of the words.





TL;DR

Exact same thing, different name.
