Pokemon vs. Digimon

When we talk about t.v shows we must go with Digimon, pokemon was cool and all but Ash is no Red and the pokemon now are just dumb and non-creative. I loved the 1st 4 generations of Digimon and that movie was friggin awesome, i dont remember a pokemon movie being that awesome since the 1st movie! And when they were able to turn themselves into Digimon, that was a cool idea, the rest of Digimon become like pokemon and got boring. Or maybe i just grew up??

When it comes to games pokemon is better and i will still turn on my game boy advance and play yellow or red. Digimon games were ok, but i prefer playing pokemon over this even though the pokemon games really arent all that and there like Call of Duty, there the same thing over and over again with a few new things but eh i'll play them.

 

i prefer digimon. especially digimon seasons 3 and 4.the idea to be able to becpome your own digimon was epic in my eyes and like answerman said, i will gladly play a pokemon game here and there for a little while but cant really get into the show because the pokemon are non-creative. they are just modified versions of the very first pokemon.

 

Well, it's simply that (IMO) Pokémon had greater success in the gaming field when Digimon was better as a TV-series. Pokémon was about collecting stuff and it was a creative game, but as a series I didn't like it too much. Digimon, on the other hand, had a great story and it really worked as TV-series, when the games were a total flops. I haven't played the games in ages so I don't know about the newer ones.

But I prefer a Digimon because it was simply better in the entertaiment field - it had a great story that had endless possibilities.

 

Now to make a war against the other is a bit unfair to both sides if you look at it the right way.
You see, Digimon had a very successful anime, but their games are... well lackluster at best.
While It's Pokemon's games holding it alive today not the anime.
Heck, just look at Pokememe's and count how many anti comics are about the anime.

I was never, personally, a digimon watcher, but without nostalgia goggles, I've been able to watch some of the anime and some of pokemons.
Digimon does win in the anime catergory.
But Pokemon wins in video game.

As for personal appeal, I will go with pokemon anytime.

 

Well, I'm the only one on this end of the boat so I'll state my opinion on all of this. I personally watched both series when I was younger and I must say that Pokémon is better than Digimon.

Digimon was all right; All right being the term to remember. The first season was the best, second was pretty decent, third was when it started going down hill and the fourth season was a complete turn off for me. The idea to transform into your Digimon was ridiculous in my opinion and it ruined the vibe of "Oh, I'd love to be in the Digimon world !" It felt rather cheesy. Not to mention the video games were, at best, mediocre and the theme song lacked all luster on earth. I can recall the words to it, but it felt too slow paced at times. Now, the first season and the first movie were the only parts of the Digimon franchise that I truly enjoyed; After that my fandom was erased slowly but steadily.

Pokémon, on the other hand, was a lot better. I can't even name one of the older Pokémon movies that I dislike because there was something about Ash that always kept me watching. Now, the first two seasons were the best and afterwards some of the Pokémon were a little strange, but it never got to the point where I couldn't watch it anymore. I can even pick up later seasons and still watch them simply because my favourite Pokémon, Pikachu, is still present. Pokémon video games are also pretty cool (I still enjoy playing some of them for the original Nintendo 64) and I enjoy the concept of collecting Pokémon to ultimately face the Final 4 | Elite Group. On top of it all, the original Pokémon theme song is to die for.

"I want to be the very best.
Like no one every was ~~"

For all the above reasons, I think Pokémon is better than Digimon.

 

when i was younger i was always into pokemon, and i started to get into digimon but never really did. i only know there is like a orange dinosaur

 

Digimon. Pokemon always seemed kinda, er, I dunno, I just could never get into it. I love digital stuff so Digimon for me.
