how come? In digimon every kid has some psychological problem they have to deal with that's intricately connect to their characters and important for the story as a whole, there's a prophecy that unfolds with each episode, digimons that die to save the chosen kids and their digiworld, and overall digimon deals with mature themes and does what pokemon will never try, it also has the better design of the two.
pokemon has no fun and charm, anon. It's the most formulaic anime series on existence that even recycled for over 20 years its own mc.
Digimon has depth while pokemon is superficial and obnoxious.
imagine believing this, I won't talk about Hawaii Pokemon seasons because they are appareantly better, but first 500 episodes pokemon are just really awful.
There is no character or personality, 90% episodes just them roaming in SAME LOOKING FOREST, and they come across problematic digimon and his trainer, have to solve the issue, and team rocket complicates things, repeat for 500 episodes
Compare this to Digimon Adventure, which in its 50 episode accomplish so much, every episode takes in different location, every episode develops character and worldbuilds
First season and maybe up until Johto have some deep
After reset, it's baby shit.
Reminds me of Sponge Bob: he was basically a teenager with a job, then he becomes a retarded gay baby.
>First season and maybe up until Johto have some deep
It is extremely sparse, something like Charizards arc is like two episodes, but besides it absolutely nothing.
4kids butchered it for the US so those who only saw that version will always see it as far inferior to Pokémon and a cheap knock-off. For fucks sake, they even removed the Bolero from the episodes.
4Kids had nothing to do with Digimon. It was Saban. The man himself is using his kid show fortune to murder Palestinians and helped pay for Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign.
>monsters all have -mon suffix >pretty much everything else has digi- prefix
the mature themes are undercut by retarded shit like this that end up making it feel even more childish than classic pokemon. at least old pokemon knew what it was and owned it, wasn't trying to be some mature shit and then floundering with stupidly complicated plotlines once they start going back and forth to the real world
retarded complaints that don't detract from the themes of the anime, and as you admitted pokemon had those same issues. >let me catch ekans (snake) with my pokeball that I bought at the pokemart and heal him with some potions from the pokecenter
Digimon went to shit later on, not because of the naming conventions or the "complicated" plots of going back to the real world.
I'd argue digimon has a good balance of kid and mature stuff, the underlying psychological and mature factor is visible throughout the series, really good for a show for kids and way better than pokemon.
I'm watching the anime with subs right now and you can't compare the two. the japanese kids in japan really had it good.
You do realize it was a kids game gone rogue in-universe, right? Game designers named all the stuff with a kids game in mind, but developed it too well and it was able to generate a whole world based off their game. A lot like Free Guy actually
Never watched Digimon but I do think it suffered from "This town aint big enough for the both us"
I think I was already burnt out pokemon by the time Digimon gained any traction in the states and was also a bit more aware of the nature of fads so for me there just a complete lack of interest - cant speak at all for the quality of it though

Digimon easily had a better original anime with a real plot and characterization, but the Digimon video games, card games and sequels were all worse.

Well, how would the pokemon animes look like, if they were more in the style of digimon? Just take the first generation pokemon anime for an example - what would change?
pokemon doesn't need to be like digimon, all it had to do is add motivations to Satoshi that are more than just "im gon be le very best" something more grounded in reality so the character becomes more human and relatable, same with the rest of the cast who stand as merely companions who never break the mold.
It's just that the slapstick humour is all over the place and then there's a focus on pokemon who cannot speak human language despite understanding it, if they reduced a bit the slapstick humour, added more personality to the pokemon instead of all of them being one dimensional, and also developed the personality of the characters as they follow their adventures, we will have a more nuanced show.
One of the best episodes of pokemon that actually does this is the one that tells us how Meowth became a member of team rocket and why he can talk and walk like a human.
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP070 Go West Young Meowth
It's one of the best pokemon episodes because it adds layers to a pokemon that are humanlike, tells us his origins, how he fell in love and his love wasn't reciprocated despite him trying his best: learning to talk like humans and walk like one to impress his love interest and then going to save the female meowth's life and all for naught, cause in the end, she goes with a Persian and Meowth heartbroken joins the team rocket...
It also adds meaning to one of the best melancholic ED in the show that has Meowth as the singer
Definitely not. Stop being a "console war homosexual" both were seriously good and are staple in 90s and early 00s childhoods. I'm watching both right now with my daughter. She enjoys watching both Pokemon and Digimon. Hell, she's even interested in Yugioh as well.
>Bandai created tamagotchi >Digimon is a tamagotchi spin off >Hosoda setup a kaiju movie >Series has nothing to do with pokemon
You could argue that Pokemon influenced Bandai to make Digimon something different, but it was never a rip off.
I remember being into Digimon and then going online only to find out all the fans online were pedophiles making porn of and jerking off to little kids and animal creatures.
I want to fuck Angewomon
You have your own fucking board for tranime, dude.
also what's a movie where a bunch of kinds have to save the world?
Is this Discotek's AI upscale? Because lmao.
The Goonies
Digimon was a shitty knockoff of Pokemon.

>psychological problem
Exactly. It's Pokemon without the fun and charm, and with annoying, nonsensical rules.

No wonder zoomers and gen alpha love this show, something they can relate to.
zoomers never watched digimon.
You know those YouTube essays that are always like “the DARK and DISTURBING side of (children’s cartoon)”? Digimon is that but unironically.
>You know those YouTube essays
No, I don't. Sounds like shit pseudo intellectuals would do.

You literally have no argument then lmao. Thanks for admitting defeat.
Your complaint is retarded dude so it can't even be taken seriously as an argument.

Wasn't that Tamers' lore instead of Adventure?

For me it's best exemplified in Ken, whose persona as Digimon Emperor was just him larping as his dead brother.
this boy is ethnically japanese.
Digimon easily had a better original anime with a real plot and characterization, but the Digimon video games, card games and sequels were all worse.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! GAY RIGHTS! GAY RIGHTS EVERYWHERE!
what the fuck are you talking about?
Yamato isn't a fag, he fucked Taichi's girl
Ah yes, baby’s first foray into not being able to trust women
>Literally a fucking rainbow heals and revives Wargreymon
Digimon had the balls to say Gay Rights when nobody else did.
Digimon is nothing like pokemon you big gay
Not until Bandai gives them a budget higher than 100 bucks and a pack of gum.
Both shows are garbage.
Based. Digicopers are forever mad at this fact.
>B-but the digimon anime is better!
Doesn't matter. It's a shitty ripoff.
first digimon movie >>>>> first pokemon movie
Digimon was the edgier pokemon.
Both pale compared to the shin megami tensei or even devil kids which had an anime.

>Went on to become the lead singer of Nickelback
Ya(Matt)o and his shitty buttrock band just never appealed to me
will we ever have a hit digimon game? it always had such potential for a good rpg
My buddy said the cyber sleuth game was good, I just haven't gotten around to it
Nah, Cyber Slueth is a bottom barrel grind fest with a shit story. People only like it because the art style is good and the women in it are hot.
I don’t care if you didn’t ask.

Probs for calling Yamato Yamato, instead of "Matt" it drives me insane when people use to dub name
He’s still a buttrock singer
what a homosexualing bitch
The DragonBall thread first, this shit thread now. /tv wtf?
VOITTAMATON DIGIMON NIIIIIN SE ON :DDD
reminder
I remember being into Digimon and then going online only to find out all the fans online were pedophiles making porn of and jerking off to little kids and animal creatures.
well anon if you go look for hentai of digimon back then all you would find was toddlercon that's pretty obvious to me.
Bridge to Terabithia
I watched that last week. It was alright. Any other movie, anon?
