I got bored today, so I made this: A Battle as old as Time Itself: Pokemon, one of the most popular game series in history, and still running after 20 years. Vs: Digimon, often called a ripoff of Pokemon (No clue why, the only thing in common between the two is that there are kids with monsters), but still an unforgettable experience. Which one is more popular among the people, let's see what we come up with.

My Opinion:

Digimon > Pokemon

Reason: Digimon has always appealed to me more since the first time I watched it. Pokemon has been running a wash, rinse, repeat cycle of "New Region, New Pokemon, as well as not aging their characters at all. Digimon is much different, often completely throwing away all we knew about Digimon when they add in something brand new. And I enjoy the overall darker mood of Digimon than the lightheartedness of Pokemon.

Also the fact that people still say Digimon is a ripoff of Pokemon, when it clearly is not. Pokemon started as Pocket Monsters Red and Green, while Digimon started off as Tomagatchi for boys. Both evolved differently, with Pocket Monsters taking on the shortened name of Pokemon, and the small Tomagatchi toys becoming what Digimon is today.

And the fact that Digimon ages their characters over time, unlike "10 Year Old Ash Ketchum, the eternally 10 Year Old Kid that defies all science and logic." There is the Ho-Oh Theory, but I'd really find it interesting how he would grow up over time, but that most likely won't happen. Digimon, however, is something you can watch evolve throughout each series. Such as Adventure, Adventure 02, and the recently released Adventure Tri. You watch the characters grow up as they still have to fight with their Digimon, meeting new characters, watching old ones die off, it's much more complex and exciting than Pokemon is nowadays.

That's my opinion of it, what's yours?
