Kind of, yeah. That sort of cute/bro/pet balance, I guess

Obviously Pikachu wasn't the first but it was incredibly successful at making kids say 'I want one' & it's likely that a lot of franchises have wanted to emulate what it achieved

They were tamagotichis mate. The names of the franchises are similar because of how the Japanese combine words.

As it is, noone gives a shit about Patamon

It's all about based Tentomon

I'd say Terriermon

there was a period when it and its pallet swap was on the merch quite a bit more than the others, and it noticeably had more presence than either renamon or guilmon.
>>
>>25590562
It is however a pretty damn good posterchild for it.

Mickey, Mario, Megaman, Sonic, Spyro are all mascots for their respective franchises, and all have a certain degree of 'cuteness' or child appeal to them, but aren't exactly a 'pikachu' either.

I'd go with Terriermon as well. Although it's popularily, I feel, is mostly due to the fans liking him so much. I think the higher ups realized that and started upping his exposure.

If I have my facts straight, Terriermon first appeared in the Digimon Movie (The english release of which is some strange combination of two Digimon features, the one with Diaboromon and the one with Cocomon). He later appeared in Digimon Tamers, the third series.

After that all my information stops since I stopped watching the shows. I do know that Terriermon is prominently featured in the Cyber Sleuth game as one of the three starting Digimon you can choose at the beginning of the game.
