Okay, I'm getting seriously tired of people saying Digimon ripped off Pokemon. Class is in session, and I'm about to school you...Pokemon's premise, as previously stated, is much different than that of Digimon's. Pokemon starts off as Ash dreaming about being the pokemon master. He wants to catch'em all. But like an idiot, he wakes up too late to get his Pokemon. However, Prof. Oak makes an exception and gives him Pikachu. Ash has to earn Pikachu's trust and eventually tames it to friendship.Now, let's go to the beginning of Digimon. In order to go to the true beginning, I'd have to take the first part of the movie, but I'll start with the first season. A bunch of kids end up at the same summer camp and are thrown into an alternate dimension. There, they run into these talking monsters, and naturally are freaked out by them.Flash forward, middle of both seasons. Ash already has gotten the three starting pokemon now (charmander, bulbasaur, squirtle) and has travelling companions. What is he doing? Same thing he was trying to do in the first episode...become the Pokemon master and catch'em all. All of the Digidestined have gotten their Digimon to the Champion level by now. Tai wants to take them further, and tries to force Agumon to become an Ultimate level. Agumon ends up digivolving to Skullgreymon, an evil digimon. This scars Tai, and he promises never to do that again.Digimon wasn't a ripoff of Pokemon. Some of you seriously need to learn what a ripoff is. You really want to see a ripoff? Watch Bobo Bo Bobobo. Class dismissed.

Some of you are really got me annoyed. I am getting sick of reading posts lie "Digimon/Pokemon owns..." or "pokemon beats digimon" or "Digimon/Pokemon sucks..."; Trancebam made it so clearly in English that they are pointless/meaningless/purposeless comments, they won't earn you a stance, you can't convince anyone and you wasted yourself time to put post it. Ultimately, when your ignorance began to annoy the admin party ,you get your points deducted like sanane2(sorry to use you but since you are the last post...) so why bother?!? Here is a great example of "how to post for Dummies" for all those of you like that to learn how to post properly.Enough of lectures... people like Trancebam/Flamelta/& others really got me wanted to watch digimon again!!! I re-played the PS1 Digimon RPG today IT"S GOOOOOOD!!!! A bit contradicting to what trancebam had been going on about, I got myself a Skullgreymon and liked it (no offense, well when in games, of coz the more powerful the better...). BTW what's the missle on his back was called again? It's in Japanese so I cant understand it.

digimon is so much better

i personally like pokemon better, I prefere the character's personalities in pokemon, and the idea of it is good, although i do like digimon (and yu-gi-oh)Ps, does Pokemon stand for: Pocket Monsters? and Digimon stand for : Digital Monsters?

digimon is a better show but pokemon has got better games

Ps, does Pokemon stand for: Pocket Monsters? and Digimon stand for : Digital Monsters?

That's right...And this is one of the reasons that some people use to say that one is the copy of the other one...

Digimon is better, better storyline and the show is great. Pokemon is okay though.

I actually like both. But if i were to choose, it would be Digimon.Eternally,Weston

Pokemon! The games are much more fun, plus I think pokemon look better than digimon. (:

Pokemon > Digimon POINTS were deducted for this post by dualist

actually, i love digimon a lot more than pokemon... but lets not dwell on that... the point is, in the "real world" pokemon can get killed by machine gun wielding humans and so on. However, digimon is just bits of data. THEY CAN HURT BUT CAN'T BE HURT AND THAT ROX !!!

I'm not sure whether to thank you, or to hit you. I'll thank you. Actually, I was only referring to Skullgreymon in the series, not the games. And I would like to congratulate you on reading my post. Most people don't actually read posts that took time to write, or are actually worth reading. For those of you that actually read this, stop posting lousy little 3 word posts. As I've said before, no one cares about your opinion. It's not that I want to know THAT you like digimon/pokemon, it's that I want to know WHY you like digimon/pokemon. And you can't expect me to become suddenly interested in Pokemon just because you say "Pokemon's betterer..." The bad grammar is a little overexaggerated...but only a little. If you're going to post something, make it worth reading. There's a difference between forum posters and spammers. Want to see the difference? Whatever page this post ends up on, I guarantee, has both forum posters and spammers. If you see paragraphs in the post, that's a forum poster. If the post doesn't exceed one sentence, that's a spammer. If you don't believe me, then you're a spammer. If you didn't read this, then you're a spammer. If you did read this, then you could be either. It really all depends on how you post, and how you read other peoples' posts.Alright, now that I have that out of the way, I'm going to continue the argument. Keep in mind that an argument is a kind of discussion where there are two sides to be taken, i.e. the topic you're reading/posting in.Pokemon:Pros: Catchy music, bright colors, flashy scenes.Cons: No plot, little room for logical change, very childish.Digimon:Pros: Thought provoking, moral lessons, large room for changes, variety, ongoing plot, concrete character development, etc...Cons: Doesn't have as many fans as Pokemon...and season 4. Yes the entire fourth season. The animation was okay, but the idea was crap.Oh, and that whole catchy music, bright colors blahdy blah for Pokemon? That's the same technique they use for babies entertainment such as Teletubbies or Barney. It isn't thought provoking, it's just a bunch of pretty colors and sounds.

digimon is by far the better series. Yes at first glance it comes as a ripoff but in fact the shows been on in japan just as long as pokemon. They are basic rivals there. And digimon dont evolve they digivole and they dont stay in that form like pokemon do. Pokemon evolve from battling, digimon digivole when its the most necissary of times and they dont have a set charecter to digivolve into. Almost any digimon can digivolve into another of its species like animal, reptile etc.

Ill go for pokemon POINTS were deducted for this post by Dhaos

Digimon rocked, and the only digimon game that was good was digimon world 3 or 2003 i think, pokemon is rubbish

which ones better pokemon or digimon lol

i dont know. ill watch a dgmn show over a pkmn show but play the game ova a dgmn game

Pokemon! Digimon's good too but pokemon rules all! >D

I think Pokemon owns digimon.

The Digimon franchise has been criticized as being a clone of the more popular Pokémon title, as both properties are aimed at children and feature interaction between humans and imaginary monsters. Although their basic concepts are similar, their respective media thematically bear little in common. For example, Pokémon video games and anime are centered around the idea of friendly competition for Pokémon and Pokémon Trainers. Some Digimon video games also center on sportsmanship, but in the anime Digimon fight to survive or to destroy enemies, counter to Pokémon battles where the killing of Pokémon is prohibited. It has also been confirmed that Digimon was already in Development in 1995, while Pokemon was released in 1996. (However, Satoshi Tajiri, the "Father of Pokémon" already started to work on it in 1990.)

from wikipedia.org. Stop saying that they're copies of eachother. Also...

The primary mechanism of Pokémon has been compared to the generally-outlawed practice of cockfighting.[21] Seen from this point of view, the game consists primarily of Pokémon trainers capturing and bartering in wild animals, coercing them to fight one another, and also features various performance-enhancing drugs to give them an edge in the fight.

chew on that one. It's true, you have to admit it. Why do you enjoy watching cockfighting so much?

I've watched both growing up, but I have to say that I enjoy Digimon more, the first season of Pokemon was the only memorable one, namely the first episode... other than that,... every episode was the same, Team Rocket always came in with the same dumb song,... while Digimon was full of actual suspense. The World of Digimon I thought, was more plausable, because it was set in real world Japan, but they traveled to the digital world, they all were normal kids, while Pokemon was a fantasy island, and all the creatures there are part of the natural world. I haven't really seen either or in a while, but I remember digimon as the better, more in depth of the two shows !

I do like both, but Pokemon episodes are becoming hard to find on the internet now (i tend to watch anime on the internet) so I've had a look at Digimon, and it has a really good story so far! although I think Yu-Gi-Oh is not to be forgotten either
