Some people really need to see that Digimon is not a copy of Pokémon. Sure their names are similar but that's about it. Heck Digimon didn't even start as a game, manga, or anime it started as VIRTUAL PET ment to appeal to the more masculine audience. I still love both though.
@@enderborn6860Oh it is so much more. If anything it is tokusatusu, and Godzilla, super sentai and hell even the Beast wars anime. Quite different than Pokemon.
There is also the fact that Digimon was called Digimon before Pokemon was called Pokemon (that at the time was called just Capsule Monsters, but they had to change in order to trademarking issues for something else already using that name, then it became Pocket Monsters, and afterwards, the abbreviation Pokemon). Additional information: while Pocket Monster was trademarked in december of 1997, Digimon was trademarked in october of the same year, there is no way one name is the copy to the other.
I agree. Little dudes literally digivolve to protect you. Some even grow into big buff angels with wings. True guardians. I love Pokemon but when it comes to the story I prefer the digimon franchise over the same boring "defeat team rocket plot" in each Pokemon episode
Plus, since every Digimon can talk, there's no awkward motivation or consent debate. "Hey, Agumon, can you fight that Bakemon for me?" "Sure thing, I hate that guy! He's mean!"
Even if there is logic Pokemon better all digimons is damn ugly I do respect Ur desisyon but do not compare them to the good games like Pokemon or pal nah pal actually is mid
Pokémon evolution be like: Me turtle, me big turtle, me enormous turtle Meanwhile Digimon evolution: Me flower, me bird, me massive killer machine with amour and missile cannon
Lol I'm a bit annoyed with digimon evolution tho 😂 Like they could have made it less mechanical dammit.. As much as i love those transformation, it felt a bit meh compared to their beast/humanoid evolution..
@@somechupacabrawithinternet8866 Same can be said about literal manlet lizard (170cm tall, really?) that breathes fire and dies if someone throws a pebble at it. LMAO.
Digimon: you become friends with the creature and it follows you :pokemon you throw ball and now it's your I think my comment are turned into a blood bath

@@akatsukigajou1639 having limitless evolution doesn't make something better. There's a reason why the world preferred Pokémon evolution and not Digimon evolution.
@@krisjolt If you call yourself intelligent you don't go by what the world chooses the reason most of the world chose pokémon is that they don't really know what evolution is and how it works, one keyword for evolution is adaptation because it's essentially what it is. What Pokémon does is metamorphosis, your charmander will always grow in a straight line to charmeleon>Charizard no matter how you train it because it's not evolution. Digimon is not like that, it's proper evolution and it happens as a response to it's environment, and it's environment is essentially how it's taken care of and how it's trained and how it fights. Your Agumon evolving to Devimon, Meramon,Tyrannomon or even Numemon is just as legit evolutions for Agumon as Greymon.
@@raptros smart people don't call themselves intelligent, so that's a point from mr Raptros. The main reason why the world preferred Pokémon is because there's a variety of monster which you can grow to love. Digimon spent most of their ideas on new evolution instead of multiple chains of monsters or single evolution monsters just so people can pick more than one. Charizard evolution isn't the only way Pokémon evolves. There are tons of way to evolve your Pokémon, some only worked if you give them the right items/level them up in a certain terrain. Pokémon evolution might not be as diverse as Digimon, but it doesn't mean Digimon wins that part. They undeniably lose at that.
For me Digimon was one of my first interest as a kid. I liked the Digimon anime more than the Pokémon anime. One of the games i played recently of Digimon was Digimon World DS, and the freedom you can get for digivolving a single digimon into more then just one digivolution chart and use that as a thing to create a team that suits your styles is honestly one of it's best points.
I remember the first movie I remember seeing was the Digimon movie and I loved it helped that it had a banging sound track which then got me started on the original show
Both are good,there's no bad likes,only toxic people that doesn't accept the likes from others,i personally never watched Digimon and i like more the Pokémon games than the anime,but if You like Pokemon or Digimon,it's okay
I personally dislike Pokemon AS A COMPANY/FRANCHISE cause it just feels like it will always sell whatever they release, I got tired about getting the games just after Let's go Eeve and Sword, but I had great times playing Black/White, Go, or the Silver remake for example. On the other hand Digimon means a lot to me as a series. If you were to ask me the 1st theme that I can remember from a series it is Brave Hearts, my 1st hype/epic moment as a child was Angemon vs Devimon and the 1st moment in fiction that made me shed tears was Impmon reuniting with Ai and Mako and evolving into Beelzebumon Blast Mode. From the games, I bought Next Order several years ago and I never finished it, Cybersleuth was great and I have to play Hacker's Memory and Survive currently. Pokemon just does not appeal to me anymore with the newest games, and I just got tired of the management and the way people consumes Pokemon content. Digimon has meant a lot to me for years, and even so the management bandai makes of the franchise is awful and the newest series dont deliver a good enough product, I am attached to it and will always interest me
@@melissamurray8307 I mean, that is right but it is because they do not have to put the effort to make good games. It is more profitable because they have a high possibility of suceeding and a winning formula.
Some people can just never let something like especially when they do no research into the history of said disagreements such as how Pokemon and Digimon came from completely different things
Fun fact: the original name for "Mega" evolutions in Digimon is Ultimate, the ultimate in the dub is actually perfect originally, champion is adullt and rookie in child. Even so, they still got 1st the idea of the mon retreating back to it's previous form and X digimon are kind of Mega evolutions but cooler (imo) and they did still come out earlier than mega pokemon
@@adiknazrul9356 Well, in terms of anime power level, Charizard has Flamethrower while Daemon got Flaming Inferno lol. I wonder what could be comparable to Rayquaza or Arceus.
I always compared mega evolution to power up mode changes things like gallantmon: crimson mode or data squad’s burst mode because the mega level is just a normal stage for digimon
@@akatsukigajou1639Yeah, cant believe pokemon had the audacity to ripp of digimon, especially since pokemon fans for decades accuse digimon to be the "rip off" 😒
@@_Minos + it's not really a rip off since the way to mega evolve your pokemon in pokemon is via mega evolution and some pokemon dont have those mega stones while probably every single digimon can mega evolve
@@Catfish2048 Do you even hear yourself??? Its mega evo and that is what matters IT IS A CHEAP RIP OFF, and not just with megas but with dyna and gigantamax too. All rip offs after the other. Gamefreak is really sinking more and more. Even a 3 yo can see that, but you dont.
Here is my answer for my reson pokemon is better than digimon: No body cares on which is better ya digimon did mega evolution better but pokemon has created a generation of memories, one is seriouse and one is simple here is is a good question why do you all have to fight about which is better?
@@Whale_Boi Try to imagine pokemon trainer watching a character evolve from lizard that scratch and breath fire to a giant robot looking dude that has the power to bomb the earth. It would surely be something so out of place in pokemon world. In my opinion I think both Pokemon and Digimon are fine the way they are, if you combine them together it'll just become too much, beside, both of them may be similar in terms of name and look if you never watch any of them before but they're quite different in a lot of things. I don't want it to become something like Avengers, Marvel, DC or any other superheroes stereotype where there're a lot of different things in one story that it starts to feel chaotic more than being a genuine good world building.
@@angelvillegas9604 they can, that is mostly an anime only thing and a charizard for example aint surviving a nuke either way, let alone a ultimate or anything. Perfects and ultimates in V-tamers break through dimensions with ease, Metalgreymon in adventure opened a portal to real world with 1 move in his 1st appearance. There are digimons like Alphamon which are atemporal, Lucemon literally has an attack that has a 50% chance to kill, Megidramon X destroys the universe merely by existing, Magnagarurumon travels at superluminal speeds. Digimon are op as heck.
@@krisjoltso quick question for ya mate… what Digimon games have you played? Cause I’ve played several to completion and they were far from lacking in the gameplay department
If you are going by the Tamers lore and the V-Pets lore yes. Digimon were not created in computers except in Tamers only in some capacity being beings from another dimension that came into contact with the data humans provide via the Network and underwent a fast and high level of evolution. The DW in Tamers is beyond the Human World and the Network and the development of the internet in general is shown to affect it. The more advanced tehnology becomes the higher the rate at wich the DW develops. Or in the original V-Pets where they were sentient viruses that appeared one day in the Net Ocean to wich hackers attached a wireframe and created pseudo spaces like File Island to study them. In anything else Digimon became like that because of the humans perception of them but they were originally yokai,shikigami,demons,spirits who came to the human world and shaped various mythologies and mythological creatures since ancient times that were summoned through magic or sorcery or were subjugated as shikigami through onmyodo. They are ethereal beings that have become tangible and visible through digital means, and are called Digimon in the first place because they can be recognized by modern Digital gadgets that are sensible to the distortions that Digimon manifest through. Beings from layers of reality/a higher dimension that transcends the Human multiverse. The other half of their partners souls/their other selves.
pokemon: lemme chuck some poison at you that shouldn't even work cause it's not venom or being thrown that fast digimon: lemme just blow up a whole ass continent... *BOOM* (they can also blow up a whole world when they are in they're final form)
I feel like some pokedex entires are exaggerations cause one magcargo being that hot would melt whatever its standing on..... Gardevior would kill someone with that black hole unintentionally killing its own trainer.
@@ghaniKSW2 It was the franchise that began monster-taming games as a whole. If we really want to run deep, the Ultra Series of films and shows had Kaiju being caught in capsules and pitted against one another in the 60's, and bears the most resemblance to the concept by which Pokemon operates, so that was likely the true origin of where games like Pokemon came from.
The Charizard and Greymon one was hilarious, because as someone who watched both, i just KNOW that if Greymon goes mega, the Charizard's luck just ran out 😂
They did fusions before pokemon omnimon was introduced in the first digimon movie which was in 2000 while the first fusion from pokemon was kyurem in 2013
Ratatah with focus sash and endeavor: You shall know FEAR! Omnimon X: that tickles! I shall call you, *My Bitch* like the entirety of pokemon universe.
Bro. Digimon is a diferent thing. Even if they were greymon resist fire. And have the power to resist and beat mega charizard. If we go to metalgreymon if would be a gg for all megas.
Digimon: care the digi and have the digi will givan trust of you Pokemon: catch them and they will be you friends and they doesn't care about you become evil
@@wargreysamaI know it has been 7 months, but that information is incorrect, as evolution by friendship exist, for example Sylveon Crobat Frostmoth Every baby pokemon And the list goes on But you're also partially correct, as in the games, there is a move called "frustration", that gets more powerful the more the pokemon hates you
@@dixienormus5106 And Digimon was made for complete idiots like you. People who say the Digimon anime is better literally have never watched it. The animation is ass, the plot is bare bones, and the Digimon don't even have their own characters and wants and goals. The Digimon's entire existence revolves around their tamer, and it's a one sided relationship. They can't even choose who their tamer is, the whole reason why they're born is to be partnered up with a human tamer. That's not how a true friendship works. Compare this to Ash and Pikachu, where Ash needed to put his life on the line in order to gain Pikachu's trust, the same Pikachu who electrocuted and laughed at him. And it was through this act of selflessness that Ash ended up getting a friend that would always stay by his side through thick and thin. Ash put in the work to become friends with his partner, while Tai didn't need to put in the work for anything since he was destined to always receive his partner
Here’s my hot take that shouldn’t be one the digimon anime is better than the pokemon anime both goats but bro story wise holy shit 10x better pokemon xy was the only one that really dug deep
Nah Who tf plays digimon in this time where there are no new digi games while Pokémon be pushing them out faster than a Mexican Don’t worry I’m Mexican
pokemon is about catching lots of animals and having them fight... digimon is about building a bond and relationship with your digimon... ive nearly cried when playing digimon world next order and my digimon die because i grew attatched to them and meanwhile in pokemon ive never shed a tear when pokemon are defeated
That actually only applies to a small percentage of the pokemon world that we just always follow in the mainline games,in reality most people in the pokemon world have just as strong a bond with their pokemon as most people in the digimon world which is why most people in the pokemon world have only two pokemon at most during their entire life.The short of it is there's no point arguing about whether pokemon or digimon is better cuz aside from the cards we don't really have a good idea of just how deep the bond between people and pokemon is.
Even with Dynamax and Gigantism, they can't even hope to beat even the basic Wargreymon. We don't even count Omegamon, Alphamon or even Omegamon Paladin Mode yet when there are so many Digimon that can nuke the hell out of countries or even a planet. Hell, some of the Digimon can also tear fabric of space and time itself, so yes, not even Palkia or Dialga or Arceus can defeat Digimon that have that kind of abilities.
@@ghaniKSW2 Size is not really a determining factor in anime fights. WarGreymon, regardless of size, can wipe a country off the map with Gaia Force, so Dynamax (which is a hologram btw, only Gigantamax Pokemon's actual bodies change) are uh, not very impressive.
Mega evolution is the super Saiyan of pokemon, but that doesn't mean they copied digimon, pokemon did Gigantamaxing/Dynamaxing, it's the kaiju of pokemon. But doesn't mean they copied digimon... Edit: I like both franchises, grew up both watching the original series loved them both equally...

Don't get me wrong I watch Pokemon the first series in the first season but I couldn't get into it to be honest with you what turn me away from Pokemon it's the intro when it come on Digimon is my favorite because that's my childhood cartoon plus when it come on it's a hype song intro when it comes on
The intro for digimon is complete ass 💀 they just repeat their name over and over and that's the entire opening. It's so uncreative and bland, there's no soul behind it

@@josephlouis4335 The amount of transformations a character has doesn't mean anything about the quality of the show. And it's clear that you never watched Pokémon.

The dude hates Pokeballs and actively refuses to go in them. The *mascot* of the franchise disproves your statement about how Pokeballs operate.

Nah. Greymon at max is all that's needed for Charizard. It has superior firepower for one. The skull on it's head is practically unbreakable. Oh. And he can think for himself, and doesn't need orders. Plus unlike Trainers, Tamers will actually put themselves into a fight if they have to.

PERSONALLY. Digimon evolution is better. No matter how awful you raise a pokemon it'll still evolve the same, you will always expect the same results and there's not much effort to it besides leveling. Digimon evolution is surprising, fun, and unique, if you treat your Digimon like cr*p it will evolve into a heartless monster. This is very immersive to me. I won't expect the same boring results everytime , and if I really wanted a specific evolution you can just search up the evolution chart its not so hard. Its so fun to discover different evolutionns and be able to devolve my Digimon too. Im not out here catching strange pokemon I dont know and forcing them to obey me. In Digimon you actually get to grow a bond with the creatures and there's a heavy focus on raising them and them being genuine partners who have a connection with you. Plus Digimon anime tends to go alot more mature and Digimon aren't afraid to display themselves to be very aggressive creatures. Pokemon rarely displays this while in Digimon its quite obvious a Digimon won't second guess to kill a human and its tamer. They treat their monsters like monsters. I feel like not enough people try Digimon because it just looks weird to them, I did that too. Trust me it gives out a way different feel then you think and really itches that missing spot pokemon can't seem to fulfill in regards to genuine mondter taming and bonding Pokemon = a more relaxed experience for more laid back fans and easier for kids to understand, more focused on catching and getting cool mons. Focusing on a young audience though lots of adults play Digimon = a more story focused expierence with focus on raising and genuinely training your monsters, working through trial and error and mystery, focusing on a more older audience
