Digimon:
-innovates
-tries new ideas
-explores different genres of gameplay
-has kickass creature designs
-is willing to try new things and even re-invent itself(applimon)
Pokemon:
-stagnates
-progressively gets worse each year
-steals ideas from digimon
-make a fucking big-headed koala an actual monster
There really is no justice in this world when pokemon still dominates over the true masters of the monster genre.
digimon is pee-pee tho

Digimon hasn't been innovating shit recently. They've just been cycling between Digimon World and Digimon RPGs recently.
Pokemon is popular.
Most people can't name a single digimon.

Aw dude, i love Resident Evil Digimon edition, and the Digimon Dynasty Warriors, or the Digimon Visual Novel.
Fucking seriously?

Are you 12? Im sure you can still pop boners to Digimon, but that doesn't mean every one else still does.

Completed Cyber Sleuth recently.
It was painfully mediocre, from the music to the atrocious translation to the battle system that was plain as white bread.
I ain't defending Pokemon though, you know something's gone horribly wrong when the Mystery Dungeon spinoffs are better than the main game series.

the only time you could compare the two are the narratives though, which MD shines on

>>341048462
Gen 4 is the absolute worse. I played through Plat once and sold it immediately after.
>>341048921
But HG/SS are the best games though.
I think most digimon look like shit and that is also one of the reasons I could never get into digimon.

The fact that they had to shift from a wider audience to otaku should also be another.

It's literally just "fixed the missing stuff" + PokeThlon. Platinum and BW2 still have the most stuff to do.

>>341049379
>The fact that Pokemon has better games than digimon determines if it's good or not.
So digimon is better? Considering Pokemon has 0 good mainline games
>>341049273
>Gen 4's problem is its speed
And it's a fucking slog to start. Doesn't really get rolling until you have 2 badges, then it slogs on until you have 5 or so badges. It's not just the battle speed but the actual progression. I'm an hour into a romhack, and I just stopped because I realized how bored I was already and how long the game takes to really start.
>>341046046
>Resident Evil Digimon edition
Eh, I'll be honest, I can't think of many third person shooters for children, but
>Digimon Dynasty Warriors
Digimon World 4 is basically this mixed with a hack and slash rpg

Arguably Cathode Tamer and Brave Tamer given the amount of text between fights and exploration
Anyway, there's also a card game and an MMO, so it's already covered a lot more genres than many other franchises, for what it's worth.
>>341049576
Nah.
>>341049593
Yeah the pacing is atrocious
>>341049646

>>341045271
>Comparing two completely separate monster franchises that have nothing in common
Monster training is a common genre in Japan and many franchises are about it. This entire 'Pokemon Vs. Digimon' crap is fucking stupid as hell and was only created by American kid channels in the late 90's.

>>341050248
Tri is nostalgiafag pandering, not otaku.
>>341045271
Digimon was marketed really badly as a multimedia franchise.
The video games released at the peak of its popularity were exclusive to home consoles or Japan-only handhelds, so of course they were outsold by Pokémon games on Game Boy.
The card game was barely localized, with most fans of the anime having no idea how it worked.
It's a shame, but it's not hard to explain.

You could switch the names and make the exact same argument, fuck off.
>>341050625
Pokemon and Megaten don't "raise" monsters
you just level up expendable party members
actual monster raising stuff came from Tamagotchi and yet I feel there's probably an earlier, "proto"-Tamagotchi, and the first video game that actually tries to give that aspect focus is Monster Rancher
>>341050248

>>341051135
>damage controlling this hard over losing an argument
>>341051227
anon I didn't say that
teenager demographic aren't otaku
otaku has a wider age range and have a tendency to buy shit like Neptunia
you could see some otaku influences in teen-targeted games due to overlap but otherwise they are different
Digimon is otaku and nostalgiafag primarily because of content when compared to their predecessors (focus on "older audience" vs toyetic output compared to before)
>>341051430
>damage controlling this hard over losing an argument

>>341050657
Not exactly. Partners provide the ability to evolve on the spot with a device they carry around, so they're useful in that sense. And it depends on the series as well. In Savers, the protagonist has to punch the enemy to gather some of their data to bring about the evolution for his partner. In Tamers, the main characters provide support for their partners via cards and fusion. Digimon are supposed to be sentient, so they really don't need very specific instructions on how to fight usually.
when does cyber sleuth get good
>One had a game you could get into instantly
>One had a game that you had to learn to play
The reason people picked Pokemon over Digimon was that exact reason. They remember how fun Pokemon Red/Blue was because they could understand it as a kid. Digimon World couldnt match that, plus it was on the PS1.
Plus the Digimon Movie came out way too late and Adventure 1/2 hardly got any screen time in the US/UK/AU.The movie would have got so many more people into the series, it only fell apart when it went into the Adventure 2 movie.Dubbed Our War Game > Subbed Our War Game. That fresh hip 90's soundtrack, early computer jokes and love story made it stand out more than "Heres come classical music in the biggest fight scene also Izzy is talking to some russian dude over the internet thats not weird".

>>341051261
Yes I am thinking the anime, fair enough.
Pokémon got better about that, though there's still occasional bullshit. Also Ash made the sprinklers go off first, essentially using the move Soak before it was a thing, and then Thunderbolting it.Did you forget AIM FOR THE HORN
>>341052643
no clue. but it is criminal. has been a small surge of digimon frontier stuff recently. Ranamon and Fairymon getting some love
>>341052204
I think the biggest problem with Digimon is that the games didn't reflect the anime at all. Both Pokemon and Digimon had games that didn't follow the anime (except Yellow...kinda), but Digimon's strongest point was its anime, so it would've helped the games to follow the anime at least slightly.

>>341053153
I'd argue that's actually least offensive compared to shit like pity badges, sprinklers, horns, and muh gym is on fire!
Digimon games are hot garbage besides Digimon World for the PS1 and Decode for the 3DS.
I want a Digimon World style of game for the fucking Vita but they keep using that shitty party system which is god awful.
Cyber Sleuth is such a let down in ever way besides graphics.
>>341051404
Yeah, Gamefreak plays it super safe. Last time they tried doing something relatively different was Gen 5 and I doubt they want to pull something like that off again. The lack of another Gen 6 game tells me they just want to rush out another generation so they can get that Chinese audience.
I think the best I can expect from Sun/Moon are indirect meta balance readjustments that'll end up favoring a type or two and fuck it over for several more. The core SP game is an absolute pushover these days, nothing was adjusted to compensate for how you have fucking megas.
>>341053576

Summer Wars is good, but cmon.

>>341054231

don't worry anon, I do
also I'm one of those rare folks who enjoys the monster part rather than the humans, which is why I enjoyed Xros Wars, because it was Shoutmon's show than Taiki's

A true patrician, I too like when the focus is on the monsters rather than humans, that's kind of the main point of the whole concept.
Oddly, I still ended up liking digimon season 4 a bit somehow. I'm surprised about that considering the "lol the kids are the digimon" approach.
>>341055953
When will Pokemon learn that no one cares about their Zygarde forms anymore?
>>341057347
Once the game with Zygarde forms actually comes out.
>>341056847
But these will be the first Pokemon games to be released in simplified Chinese. Also, wasn't the Zygarde info leaked due to bootlegs or something? Seriously, I know a guy from China that likes Pokemon and he didn't even know there were games until he moved to the U.S.
>>341052204
>dubfag

>>341057347
After the 10 million copies sold when SM comes out.
Digimon does what pokedont.
>>341057135
This. I'd rather have one hot, perfect wife rather than a harem of fitly roasties.
>>341057145
So you actually prefer furry animal slavery over human slavery?
>>341056590
Is that Ash?
why does he have a ratata and an oddish and a weedle?
>>341057151
4 is pretty fine too, the problem there is the later half when they sidelined the characters who are not Takuya and Kouji (basically the hero and rival focus problem, except ramped up)
>>341057347
but anon the anime is doing pretty good job with it and apparently Squishy's a seller
>>341057727
Zygarde info came from Pokemon Championship in Taiwan. Granted, not China, but close enough.
>>341057846
What about the stronger Ultimate level where it turns into a cute girl version of itself?
the problem with digimon is inconsistency
I remember lurking the wiki as a teen and being confused on some of the evos which were different in the dawn ds game (total shit btw)
there's fucking thousands of digimon, nigga that's too much
>>341057997
Yes. I'd rather have a Grankuwagamon than a Mervamon.
>>341058168
Wait why? And for that matter:post lewds fag boy.
>>341058031
Ash retelling his past experience with Greninja as to why he was risking his life on wild pokemon
When he was a kid he got lost in the woods during a thunderstorm, so he took shelter, there he met Kanto shitmons and made them rest with him, they inspired him to become a pokemon trainer
essentially a slight retcon on his personality in OS
>>341057135
Point taken. Pokemon still has a lot of qts, though.
>>341058134
Not really. That's the point I'm making. Taiwan is not mainland China. Yes, people play Pokemon in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the places where Traditional Chinese/Cantonese is used, but consoles were banned in the People's Republic of China until very recently. That being said, the Taiwanese and Hong Kong residents are not nearly as cheap and Jewish as PRC inhabitants (due to some previous western influence), so they wouldn't be in such a rush for cheap shit.
>>341058629
So how much superhumans exist in Pokemon? I remember Bruno and Chuck being one of them.
>>341058031
He did have a Raticate and a Beedrill for part of an episode.
>>341058168
So is it gay for me to be attracted to this?
>Digifags this butthurt over Pokemon actually being good and not a failure of gay ideas
>>341058134
It's the "legendary Pokemon follows the gang for x episodes, then leaves to save the world or something" trope that Pokemon uses over and over. It's nothing new and it's certainly nothing exciting.
>>341059019
All humans exceed Earth ones so that they can survive the world they are in.
>>341058224
Google tells me there's around 1200 digimon
Pokemon still has a way to go.
One thing with digimon is that one digimon can become a number of other digimon. It's cool, I kind of like that more than pokemon, but it definitely becomes a bit much to manage
>tfw you will never have a cute lil pixiemon buddy
>>341058817
all right then, just saying that Pokemon has been expanding on Chinese-speaking territories
>>341059019
well, there is a recurring superman in the anime
>>341059362
>he thinks it's only for a few episodes
Ahahaha... HAHAHAHAHA!
>>341059586
most of those are recolors done because "we can't have 'official' mons be fodder enemies" back in DW1
seriously, here is NiseDrimogemon
>>341045271
It's Digimon fan tries to be relevant by shitting on pokemon thread.
>>341059362
anon it's been already 30+ episodes, Zygarde might as well have been Bonnie's pokemon
>>341052643
Check sad panda
>>341060038
That still only accounts for around 80 of them at most. Later recolors like Agumon (Black) and Daomon were designed freely.
>>341060038
I get your point, but in the case of Nise Drimogemon, that's the joke. Nise means imitation.
>3 recolors
>this is a digimon's evolution line

>Literally no character development, Ash forgets everything he is supossed to have learned every League, he is as far from being Pokemon Master as he was the first day. He is a Sisyphus that smiles everytime the rock rolls back to the starting point.
>Forgettable sound track.
>Bland story, MCs arrive to X place, find a wild pokemon causing mischief they try to solve the problem, team rockets try to capture said pokemon AND pikachu, Ash works together with said pokemon, Team Rocket flies away again and they all celebrate. They live in an ideal world, give no fucks about anything, nor friends, nor family, Brock just says, lol who care about my 20 brothers, gotta follow this nigger I don't know. They just have petty generic ambitions like studing for "Pokemon Doctor"
>Ridiculous villains. Period.
>Digimon anime
>Characters grow, overcome their fears and defects, Digimons evolve as a result of a catharsis in their human friends.
>Uses a mix of original themes and historical music pieces (well, americans are the victims of producers who think kids are too stupid for Joaquin Rodrigo or Maurice Ravel, better ram a toyetic song that kills the mood)
>Story drinks from the western canon, from the Illiad, from CS Lewis and from Lovecraft. We learn about sacrifice, about how you have to protect your friends and family. The kids are hurt kids, their families are sometimes broken, their sisters are ill, their brothers have died. They have to experience loss from loved ones.
>Villains go from broken men to monsters who cannot find their place in the world to literally black holes of evilness. Sometimes they find redemption. Sometimes they sacrifice when they realise their wicked actions. Sometimes they die just to come back even worse.

Nigga, learn to read. In the end, it's just Zygarde exposure, then it'll leave and we'll forget about it. It happened with Meloetta, it'll happen here too. Pokemon's anime may have better quality than usual, but polishing a series that has garbage content really doesn't feel like an improvement.
>>341060038
>all those Agumon variants

>>341060637
>I base my judgment on OS and thinks online memes about the show is right
>using dub at all
>>341045271
I don't understand why people pretend to care about Digimon. If this is some hip, cool, new meme, it's really not that funny.
>>341061085
>Digimon doesn't even have a Mega
What's the fucking point then?
>>341051602
>>341061193
>using "x" as a copout argument
you damn know what you meant by that, especially with the comparison to "I only came for a few episodes" Meloetta
Zygarde is much more attached to one of the main characters, isn't stuck to a single arc, and is generally treated a bit more seriously
And don't give me that "b-b-but it's garbage!" You're making a copout excuse on something without even trying.
>>341061363
You forgot the Lego Agumon, Transparent Lego Agumon, Black Lego Agumon, Ice Nostrils Agumon, Black Nostrils Agumon, Santa Agumon, and Samurai Agumon.
Digimon:
-An anime everyone saw years ago
-There is a game?
Pokemon:
-Anime is kiddie shit, but kids watch it so whatever
-Games are good
Oh boy I wonder which one people play more.
>>341061674
>he still thinks Tri isn't otaku pandering
what took you so long to reply, lack of image?
>>341061363
You forgot an agumon recolor.
Don't mind me, I'm just here for the waifumons.
>>341062221
Wait, they made variants of Nostrils Agumon?
>>341062630
>not for the beasts
disgusting
>>341062391
That is just an Agumon wearing Hitler-derived clothing and not a new species. Like "PunkAgumon".
>>341061085
>>341061438
According to the digimon wiki, it can become metaletemon, who is mega/chrome digizoid
>>341056547
Gardevoir is the same concept as Jynx, a human-shaped feminine psychic.
I wonder how the one in sun and moon will look like since they always come in the odd numbered gens.
>>341045271
Digimon still exists?
>>341062630
You shall receive
>>341063108
Gardevoir isn't Humanshaped though. Jynx actually belongs to Humanlike egggroup while Gardevoir is with the ghosts/blobs egggroup.
>>341062047
You can take it as you want, I used "x" because I don't care how many episodes it stays for, it'll just leave as always. Doesn't matter how attached it gets, Pokemon is just looking for the right episode to dump its ass.
And I'm not wrong. Pokemon's content is garbage. I know this because I've been watching. From the first season all the way to now. Because I love Pokemon. But the anime is such hot garbage that it's an insult to its fans.
Daily reminder than only Westerners have the need to compare the two. Japan sees them as separate entities and only put the two together on deliberate crossover art.
>>341061423
>anything I don't like is a meme
>if I don't like it, people are pretending
There's pretty much no way to explain this to you, then. I could tell you why I like Digimon, but you'd call of the reasons jokes or memes or something like that anyway. Eh... I'll humor you regardless. Since Digimon still hasn't really found its niche, I know I"ll be getting a new kind of game if I buy one. The card game for PS1 was actually really fun and nothing like Digimon World, which I also enjoyed. As for why I enjoy the former, it seemed different than most other card games I had played at the time, with the variable progression system, unlike the rigid fusions in something like Yugioh (though Forbidden Memories is a different story). As for why I like the latter, it feels like you're actually raising your partner instead of just grinding. I know some people didn't like having to feed their partner and take it to the bathroom, but that was the most interesting part for me, since it made it seem as if the creature was supposed to resemble a living one in some way.
Not trying to contribute to the Digimon vs Pokemon shitposting, but the only time I get that sort of enjoyment from a Pokemon game is via the spinoffs. I ended up putting twice as much time into Mystery Dungeon as I did in gen 4.

>>341059171
No, men becoming women and vice versa is common in digimon but unlike the anime the evolutions are permanent.
>>341063014
that's not an "official" evolution though, that would be etemon's
but that's the beauty in allowing digimons to evolve into (or from) more than one mon
>>341045271
Everybody still remembers digimon thanks to renamon
>>341063998
Americans think whatever they see first invented something. I remember back when everyone thought that Mazinger Z ripped off Voltron just because they got it on tv first. Something similar happens whenever I try to tell them about Saint Seiya, and then they instantly bring up DBZ.
>>341064221
Not saying it isn't, but it's more of a periphery demographic, like I said, overlap
>>341064445
evolution is permanent in the anime too, it's just that the mons used by the main protags are temporary, and even then we get side characters that permanently evolve
it is why 02's ending and tri are shit - they forgot that aspect, and as much as I give crap on Young Hunters, they actually make it a point that Shoutmon "grew up" and has a different look
>>341064575
The fun part with Digimon is you can make these enormous chains of digivolving and dedigivolving, which is certainly more thought than I've ever put into a pokemon game.
>>341064660
You mean thanks to Sindoll.
>>341064017
There is a lot of porn of the girls on gelbooru.
>>341064842
wait, I don't see anything common between SS and DBZ
>>341064842
this is an universal line of thinking
once i've heard someone call gunstar heroes a metal slug ripoff
>>341065070
it's not really much of a "put more thought" as it is more on "it's a virtual pet, we need multiple evolutions"
>>341065070
>You mean thanks to Sindoll.
Yeah but at the same time he draws renamon a lot so both i guess
>>341065125
It's a Japanese cartoon with fighting that came on tv that people watched and became popular, so that's the only connection some people need. Now, if they said Sailor Moon, I could understand, but that's a different story altogether.
>>341065231
Well I guess to be fair, it was harder to research this kind of stuff until recently and even now, more people use the internet for facebook and porn than research.
>>341065364
But that's more thought anon.
