So there has always been a debate between Pokemon and Digimon. They're a lot closer to each other than you think and a lot of people think for a bunch of reasons that Digimon is just a ripoff of Pokemon.

I'm not one of those people. I love Pokemon because it's a lot of fun and it's what I grew up with but I love the story and content of Digimon games a whole lot more. I think the mechanics are better in most of the games, the voice acting and style is usually great, and I love the darker tone.

Which one do you prefer and why?

I definitely prefer Pokemon over Digimon. I never was into Digimon and I don't think I ever will be. I mean, it was fairly obvious what Digimon was trying to. I mean jeez man, right down to the name. They were trying to buy off of Pokemon's success. The first Digimon game released 2 years after the original Pokemon games. I just can't respect a series that does something like that.

That's easy, Pokemon all the way! I never got into Digimon, plus like Lexatom said, it's clear what Digimon was trying to do.

I've never actually played Digimon, so I can't say I definitely wouldn't like it more than Pokemon, but Pokemon is what I grew up with, so it does have the advantage.

I grew up playing Emerald, and then Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, and just fell in love with the series from there. Pokemon games account for over half of the total games I have for my 3DS, so I'll let that speak for itself.

Since it is similar to pokemon, I'm interested in learning about and possibly playing Digimon to see just how much it differs from Pokemon in terms of story and tone. Perhaps I might come to really enjoy it.

I think that digimon is cool and all, but come on, it isn’t Pokémon. Pokémon is a staple of cultures around the world and has success everywhere just because of how great it is. I don’t have anything against Digimon, but it was never truly anything that stuck with me, while Pokémon took over my childhood and teen years without much trouble.

I’ve played pretty much every Pokémon game in its entirety, so that shows the magnitude of my love for Pokémon.

Man Digimon is 0 for 4 already.

If Digimon started making games at the same rate as Pokemon would people start getting more interested?

dark mode : Probsbly not. Pokémon only makes their games at such a fast pace because people are interested, and there is a high demand for them. Digimom fans would have more games to buy, but it wouldn’t boost sales by much. Maybe a few avid gamers would find reason to buy them, but a traditional gamer without much interest in them would be unlikely to purchase new games just because they’re out there.

Barathemos : Do you think this year's Digimon game can appeal to a wide audience? They're calling it their best game ever and a huge deviation from what they normally do.

How likely is it for non Digimon fans to become fans?

dark mode : I had no idea Digimon was coming out with a new game, so they need to pump up their advertising.

I think that a new game, especially since it will be on a wide range of systems (PS4, XB1, Switch, and PC) they have a much higher probability of gaining a better audience. They have no release date for the new game, which is concerning for me. They need to release it before Pokémon Gen 8, and considerably before, if they want to attract attention to themselves without being overshadowed by Pokémon.

I think that will the right marketing, a lot of people could become fans of the series. It is a quality series, but they need to be marketed as something other than the game series that sounds similar to Pokémon.

But if they play this all right, I might pick up a copy myself.

Barathemos : Lol yeah they can do a lot better with marketing. I see more ads for their movies which are one day only than their games.

My favorite Digimon game game out in 2016 and the sequel came out this year so I feel like they are doing much better now in terms of content.

I don't know anything about Digimon, but Pokemon is a tremendously succesful franchise and inspired A LOT of different shows and games. It is very likely that Digimon was inspired greatly by Pokemon, and it is definitely not the only one. That being said, I wouldn't necessarily call it a ripoff just because its similar. Nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from others.

Obviously, if I had to choose between the two, I'm going with Pokemon all the way.
