I am a fan of Digimon and I find your theory very plausible KMACK TIME. Although I disagree with Pokemon being better (just my opinion) and actually there are very little similarities between the two, so calling Digimon a ''knock-off'' is wrong. A knock-off is an unauthorized, cheap copy of something. And let me tell you Digimon is neither cheap nor a copy.
Okay, here are the reasons you are wrong: 1. Digimon came out a year before pokemon. I do not see how it is possible for something to be a copy of something created AFTER it. 2. Your Weedle could NOT become a Dokunemon, because that picture is of a freaking KUNEMON. 3. Digimon being just data? *sigh* This has been explained SO MANY TIMES throughout the anime and manga that I can't believe I'm saying it. The digimon consist of data because that is what their world is made of. When you bring one into the real world, it becomes flesh and blood, it doesn't turn into a f***ing pokemon. 4. The corrupted pokemon file would definately NOT turn into a digimon because the real and digital worlds are completely seperate. The part of the Digital World used in technology is immensely small, and isolated from the rest of the Digital World. 5. V-tamers and f***cking Digimon Next. The humans went into the Digital Wold and stayed human, but their digimon tamagotchis aka devices that contain digimon DNA turned into digimon. The pokemon have NO digimon DNA and would therefore stay as pokemon if they entered the Digital World. 6. Returning. The digimon that were once tamagotchis turned back into tamagotchis when they entered the Real World again. Digimon that were born digimon stayed digimon when they entered the Real World. Anything that was once in the Real World turns back to what it was in the Real World (a.k.a, train to Trailmon, then back to train). Since the pokemon would still be anchored to the Real World, they would not turn into anything from the Digital World, because they are not fully in the Digital World. Also, pokemon better than digimon? Please tell me you're joking.
Can't believe all the idiotic hate among these two fandoms. Both Pokemon *AND* Digimon are awesome. Who cares if one copied the other? They're both unique in there own ways, and they both have merits and flaws. Pokemon's games are the best, but the anime is shit. Digimon's anime is amazing, but the games are often times lackluster. Not to be cheesy, but "can't we all just get along" and agree that both are great?
karen irizarry We can agree on that, though I'd say that the Orange Islands and first season of Johto were pretty good too. All went down hill after that though.
I love both Pokemon and Digimon. i dont understand why people think they have to choose one or the other. But this is an interesting theory, however there is the humans becoming digital to save the digital and the real world, and there is also the issue that Digimon can talk to humans. You could argue that when the "Pokemon" Digivolves into the next level the corruption forces it back into its original state. Would definitely like to hear more on this theory though. I find it interesting and maybe it'll put an and to the Pokemon/Digimon war.
Well my idea is that Digimon get the ability to talk from bits of information from the Trainers from when they were caught. because there is the whole " you can't catch another persons pokemon" thing. So when they are corrupted they gain a small part of their trainers intelligenc and possibly attributes.
I like this theory, it's cool to think about. Pokemon always made it seem like the pokeballs turned the pokemon into data that could then be stored on the PC.
Digimon is not a copy of Pokemon! I'm sick of this argument, especially when Pokemon fan rip on Digimon even though they've never seen it just because they think it's a copy. I'll admit that in later seasons of the show that it does seem like they're borrowing a few ideas but that's it, borrowing ideas is different to copying, and don't anyone even dare say Pokemon is completely original and never borrowed from Digimon either. People think Digimon is a copy mainly because both feature mon in the title and feature creatures pairing up with human children to fight against their own kind, that's it, but if you get an unbiased overview of the first seasons of both you'll find them completely different aside from what I just stated. My full argument is too long for a RUclips comment but if you look online you'll find plenty of blogs about how Digimon is different to Pokemon. And I'll just say this before I finish, I watched both shows growing up and then forgot about them for awhile and then I eventually revisited them later on, I fell in love with Digimon all over again while I couldn't even get past the first episode of Pokemon, so I find Digimon superior based on how I like it, not because I force myself to hate Pokemon for stupid reasons.
How can Digimon be a Pokemon rip off when its nothing like Pokemon? It has different plot, characters etc There is the Monster befriending/capture franchise... but Pokemon was not the first one.
Makes me laugh that people still think Pokemon are better than Digimon. Digimon at least changes its mechanics, themes, and so much more each generation. Pokemon is stale
Interesting idea, but what about the Digimon interacting with people who don't know what a Pokemon is? They always seemed to be weirded out when the Digimon show up, unlike the Pokemon world where there are Pokemon everywhere. Oh yeah, Charizard's my favorite, and Agumon is my favorite Digimon!!!
As for Digimon coping pokemon there are a few problems such as Deltamon came before hydreigon and before DNA splicers were in pokemon Digimon had DNA Digivolveing and mega evolution being powered by a bond well... Digimon did that first to even the name mega evolution was stolen from Mega Digivolve.
This theory is dumb because: 1: In some Digimon games and the anime, we see that in the real world there isnt a single Pokemon. 2: They are 2 different universes. 3:The part of the Corrupted pokemon part is stupid and its just a bug of the game.
Yes Pokemon came first. However Digimon was more developed as in terms of character and story development. The story and characters build on each other each episode. There was legitimate threat and danger and was more real. Pokemon though was cute at the time, quickly became repetitive and annoying. Ash is still 10, Pikachu hasn't evolved, and Team Rocket are still the annoying pests they have been since day one, still chasing Pikachu even though there are other Pokemon more rare than it. Besides Ash and Pikachu, and some other duo human/Pokemon lesser characters, there is little to no emotional connection between humans an pokemon, it was more about quantity than quality. Which is why Digimon is superior in that aspect because the digimon are pared usually (with some exceptions) by one digimon per human partner. This allows humans and digimon to develop a more emotional connection as oppose to pokemon which clearly sets up a world where animal fighting and violence is glorified. Pokemon violence was intended for sport while Digimon violence was only for self defense or saving the two worlds. There are more moral and educational values to Digimon than in Pokemon and is an overall better story. Yes Pokemon has kept to the same characters for the most part and has remained popular, which is a hard thing to do and I give them credit for that. And I am sure the creators of Pokemon did not intend to glorify animal fighting but yes it happened. Digimon yes does have it's down moments too. After the second season they began following the Power Rangers formula (Digimon is produced by Toei, the same company that produces Super Sentai/Power Rangers, and Kamen Rider) in which they change the characters and plot each season but maintain the same basic formula. Digimon Adventure 1 & 2 were successful, yet Digimon Tamers set in an alternate universe was much more well received in the USA that the original series. Yet it began to dwindle in popularity in Digimon Frontier. Digimon Savers nearly got Digimon canceled, and it was years before Digimon Xros Wars/Fusion aired. Digimon is still one of my favorite shows and if I had to chose between Digimon or Pokemon it would always be Digimon. And I look forward to the third season of Digimon Adventure next year. Hopefully Nickelodeon doesn't mistreat it because it doesn't involve a yellow sponge.
and also the digimon are able to say more then one word they are able to have conversations when pokemon cant the digimon are able to tell you how you feel and when the digimon got hurt the the digidestined (don't know if I spelled it right) were cared to let them fight the more powerful digimon because they were scared they would either get hurt again or die and when the kids had t leave the digital world they were crying because they grew so close to each other so yes digimon is better and the fighting in that show is just for self defense not for winning any medal or ribbion
this could make sense, especially because if a computer is designed to hold digital forms of living beings it would probably have a program that tries to restore corrupted .Mon data but will often do it wrong due to the fact of pcs being so primitive at the time, the pc would then not recognize the "restored" file as a pokemon or item and attempt to delete it and fail to do so because .Mon files would probably have anti-deletion flags, the computer would then remove the file by sending away from the computer to prevent harm to the computer or its contents (the file somehow ending up in the digimon universe) so to sum it up 1. stored pokemon gets corrupted 2. p.c attempts fix the corruption resulting in a digimon 3. p.c doesn't recognize digimon as a safe file and attempts to delete it 4. p.c can't delete it so it sends it away could make for some interesting fanfiction
Lol, almost every theory is either imagination in a coma, everyone is dead, they're insane, or they're drugged out. These theories need to get more creative/original SOMEWHAT like this one.
The Gray Pet, in each game Mario saves a monarch and helps her to get back on her throne. Mario isn't "red", he is "white". But Bowser in Mario Party has an event *"Bowser Revolution" where he takes all coins from players and redistributes them equally!* So who's a communist now?
Digimon are better than pokemon. Why? Digimon have human level intelligence, pokemon are at most as intelligent as more intelligent animals such as dolphins. Digimon can talk, pokemon doesn't (and no, poketalk doesn't count). Digimon anime has a better plot than any of pokemon series, which follows in most cases standard template of "ash visits some place, team rocket tries to steal pikachu and/or other pokemon, ash defats team rocket, end episode", where in digimon it's way more interesting. The only thing I can't compare are games, but even if digimon games turns out to suck, digimon still wins due to other things I've mentioned.
Nice argument, but you missed something crucial; The originally. Yes the Digimon anime is WAY better than the main Pokemon anime, but Pokemon is not just an anime series, it's also game series. Pokemon was first made as a game in Japan, it was also it's own thing. What I mean by that is that it had mechanics in game like trading other Pokemon, the point of the game and we're the inspiration came from. Digimon on the other hand, was not always a game series, it was a tamagotchi for boys. Digimon is basically tamagotchi Pokemon. It than got the anime adaptation, but this is basically Digimon's true strong suit. I say this because even though Digimon had a way better show than Pokemon, it didn't impact as hard as Pokemon did. When I was younger, 2nd grade, Pokemon was all around the playground. Kids would trade cards, take about the TV show and battle and trade vai their DS. And it still stands strong today (20th anniversary this year and all), it's something I can talk about with younger people and say, "back in my generation, fairy's didn't exist". Pokemon, at least for me, as always been around. Digimon however...I stumbled upon it when I was looking for something to watch on Netflix. It was an amazing show, but I was older at the time I watched it, already in my teens. I did some research and found that Digimon was originally a tamagotchi turned Pokemon thing that came out in the nineties, as Pokemon's main rival, kind of like Sonic to Mario. Well, as good as the show was, it did not get as popular as Pokemon, than fell into obscurity, kind of like what happened to Sonic... Heck, even Tamagotchi is still very popular in Japan, with them hogging all the cool color ones. I did see a little hope for digimon though, I found a small toy section of it. But in all originally and impact, Pokemon is " better " than Digimon. I just wanted to put this out their since people always claim that Digimon is better than Pokemon based on the anime, You know, to attack Pokemon's weak suit. But Pokemon as the games and the impact it has with a lot of people, kind of like what the Mario games have. (Sorry, this is the last repetitive comparison...) And yes their are some things Pokemon copies from Digimon (Mega Evolution and possible trainer-pokemon friendship fusion thing that might come out in the new games, I'm looking at you) It still has it's originality. Hoped you agree or at least acknowledge this reply and feel free to point out anything I missed, I wanted to reply this way instead of: "OMG!! The anime has no crap on the original Pokemon games you f#%&$@!!!1;;1!! Pokemon R intelligence!!! Ever heard of Human-like Pokemon you hipster-pokemon-wannaby-trah loverrrrrr!!!!!!!1" Like almost all butthurt pokemon fans would. I have great respect for the "Hipster-pokemanz"😝 lolz
+Elayna Church Pokemon had more impact, but still, Digimon it's better. Some digimon games suck, i can't deny that, but some others are far better than pokemon, that has been repeating the same game through years.
Except Pokémon started around 1996 while Digimon started sometime around 2000. They even point out in almost every series of Digimon that the digital world and the human world are seperate dimensions.
The slight reason I think Digimon is better, aside from plots, character development and such is that, the series of digimon changed over time and had different seasons. A lot more different characters, different digimon, fusion, transforming all that jazz. As for what I remembered in pokemon (from my childhood in the 90s) is it kinda stayed the same. There was a few different plots and stuff, but it stayed mostly the same for quite sometime. It just ran on about the same thing until their goal finished and set on another quest. I love both shows, but digimon was slightly better in my taste. But yaknow, other people have different opinions lol
Why can't we both just agree that Digimon and PoKeMon are both flawed yet at the same time they are both good. PoKeMon is known to have better games while after the good part of the anime ended after the plot started getting a bit tired. They both have their flaws yet they both manage to excel in different areas.
judging on 2 Pokemnon movies the one with Mewtwo and the one with Genesect. Humans in the Pokemon universe has both genetically and technologically modified Pokemon so is it possible that Digimon are corrupted on purpose trying to create a new species or better adapt a pre existing species?
I thought of one for last airbender. I haven't seen it anywhere else this is all just thoughts I personally had on this subject. Azula from last airbender. *spoilers for TLA/LOK* Many feel she's schizophrenic. . However I disagree. I'm not sure if there's any writing on it but I have a different impression. First: who is azula? Azula is the fire lords second child, his daughter. Shes not liked much by her mother, but often praised on her paternal side. Her older brother zuko, loved by his mother, banished by his father, is her main source of competition. She has two friends to her name, mai and ty lee. Both only side with her out of fear. Shes terrible at dating, social ques etc. And towards the end she goes "crazy". Second: what does she *do*? Well simply put she tries to kill the avatar in the avatar state. She tries to burn the earth kingdom. She tries to use fear to make people loyal to her. She clings for any control she has. She uses angle. Shes clever, and powerful. And blood thirsty. (But is she? More on that later) Third: why does she do it? Well how often do we examine the motivations of villains? Well in the avatar series (both last airbender and legend of korra) nearly all villains are given real, human, reasons for their actions. from sozin starting the war because of a mistaken belief in american exceptionalism...I mean because the fire nation is so great and it's best to share this perfect and great system... even if you have to invade and start a war to make the other nations see it. Ozai wanted power and would never consider anything too low to take it. Even fire lord was too low a title, he preferred phoenix king. Amon hated benders because of abuse. He had particular issue with the avatar that lead his father to become abusive. Unaloq, like ozai, sought power. He felt himself superior, and the best to bring balance. Even the latest villain, zaheer, was fed by a manipulation at every deeper ideology than blind antagonism. His ideology was anarchy, and opposition of hierarchy and segregation perpetrated not just by royalty or the walls of ba sing se, but by the seperation of human and spirits, and of course, the existence of an avatar. What then is azulas motivation? She doesn't want the highest title. Nor does she really want to kill the avatar. She doesn't actually care about burning cities. She doesn't even care about cherries. What she does care about, is approval. Her sole motivation is to be seen as good enough, strong enough, better than zuko. To earn affection, to feel loved. She wanted her mother and father but knew they weren't compatible. She sought her father knowing ursa had a fondness for zuko. She chooses not to share anything that could damage her reputation. She even freaks out when she thinks she isn't good enough to join her father. She thought she earned his approval, what did she do wrong?! During her coronation set up, she seems to become paranoid. Thinking theres a threat. Indeed she is afraid. Of anything that might damage the approval she worked so hard for. Any imperfection. Any threat to her life and shed be seen as sloppy, ill prepared, or weak. When she saw her mother, it wasn't a schizophrenic hallucination, she hadn't gotten those before. It was stress playing her mind. She had tucked away her need for her mother's approval, but it resurfaced. She knew it was fake. She hated knowing she wanted her mother to be proud. She refused to accept it. She lashed out at herself more than anything. Her final battle with katara was effectively her tipping point. If she couldn't retain het status she wasn't worthy. She'd be seen as weak. Weaker than zuko, whom she spent most of her life painting as weak and pathetic. I haven't read the search, but I do know shegot worse over time. This would fit in with my diagnosis of codependency. In case there's any doubt as to her diagnosis, let's consider the fact that she prefectly matches 10/12. 5/6. And loosely can fit all of them. Symptoms are People pleasing Low self esteem Poor boundaries Reactivity Care taking Control (needing control of their moods, or of those around them, or of their settings) Dysfunctional communication Obsessions Dependency Denial Problems with intimacy, and painful emotions (both of which are shown on ember island, as well as communication issues. Only low self esteem and care taking are a stretch. And this is consistent with her personality ever since she was introduced at the end of book 1. completely submissive and eager to please her father, and the need for complete control of the process, thus choosing a smaller team that can easily be controlled and watched at all times by her.
I like your theory it actually makes sense. but what about the Digi Destines where do they fit in this theory. If pokemon have trainers and Digimon are corrupted files of their original selves where do the digi destines fit in this theory.
I would theorise that Digimon came first and became Pokemon instead. The Pokemon world is so similar to ours that some people speculate it's a post apocalypse, while the Digimon world is literally just ours (the real world in Digimon, the digital world is something else of course). Wouldn't it make sense if that the Digimon world turned into the Pokemon world over time?
I like them both way back when. I had not realized then how similar they where. I just like watching them only because they where cute critters on my TV screen. XD
Most of people didn't even see Digimon! I was that stupid fan shit who always say POKEMON IS BETTER!!! Then I watched Digimon and now I am ending season 3. I am more pokefan than digifan but I need to say that digimon or pokemon aren't any cancer they both are awesome!!!
Charlie12241 uh digimon are tamagachis pokemon anime came first so the anime copied pokemon trying to make money off the hype but digimon games came first so pokemon came out with games to make money off the rpg monster faze in japan but they hit it big being the first of the two companies to have portable games which became very popular at the time they were rival companies and then came yugioh which copied them and then Duel Masters the biggest rippoff ever of a show I have ever seen its literally the same show as yugioh without the interesting backstory of the pharoh the millennium items and the interesting villains it just sucks imagine if yugioh was just duels it would have sucked that's duel masters in a nutshell the whole series lol basically companies do like to copy each other to make money off of the hype theres nothing wrong with admitting it
Both anime couldn't be more different. Both r good but Digimon is more mature and actually has a good story and consequences. Pokemon is good for little children and teaches younger kids small life lessons and Digimon is still a kids show but it deals with more mature tones like death depression and hopelessness.
”mon”, I think it's a japanese word "モン" which came from English word "monster", in Jpanese way is モンスター。。 I love both show though, big part of my childhood....
Guys I can't stand saying that witch fandom is better. Please guys, wake up! This make me cry. You are like hyenas fighting for dead food. If pokemon and digimon are same, there shouldn't be wars. Myself, when I realized that Digimon exsisted, I was happy that there is something close to the thing I has watching my whole childhood and watch it.
Digimon has a better plot than Pokemon but the creators of Digimon could've thought of a better name other than Digimon because COME ON they're really pushing those haters to call it a rip-off.
This needs to be a hack game or something. I would find it very humurous to go playing half way through your pokemon game the PC corrupts and your pokemon go to there digimon counter parts. Later on throufh the game maybe you could switch back and fourth between em. Moves idk how thatd work out but it would be cool to see something like this.
That hacking never really happened to me on the game, I was of the lucky gamers who did a pretty on the Pokemon. Plus I didn't think Digimon was that cool I thought Pokemon was more smooth and it was more righteous.
It makes sense also note where do you store your pokemon you using your Pocket and Digimon well are digital always but wait to confirm are they still Digimon when in the real world or Pokemon.
Little that anyone know Digimon wasn't meant for kids compared to Pokemon. In Japan, Digimon was aired in the evening slot along with other anime for older viewers while Pokemon was aired during the afternoon along with Power Rangers and Kamen Rider for kids. A lot of mature content dialogue and episodes/scenes were cut in Digimon when it was being filter to suit U.S younger audiences. Shoot, Augumon is an asshole to Tai through and through. Anywho, I suggest that we leave Pokemon and Digimon alone and appreciate that we were able to enjoy both of the worlds when we were kids.
Pokemon? Digimon? Hmmmmmmm....which do I like most??? Screw it! I think they're both pretty darn good. I don't play them, but I always liked the shows and movies.
Imma 90s baby man eventhough I LOVE THE ORIGINAL 150 POKEMON my favorite has to be TYPHLOSION OR MACHAMP ,MY FAVORITE DIGIMON IS WAR-GREYMON AGUMON DIGIVOLVES TO HIM
pokemon aren't stored on the pcs they're stored at pokemon labs and transported through the pc but something could have gone wrong while the pokemon where being transported.
To be honest Im a Digimon guy and I have nothing against it. But I hate these Pokemon that say Digimon sucks even though clearly they had never seen more than one episode and I'll have you know I watched at least 30 Pokemon episodes, played firered, ruby, platinum, and Y so you can't called me a hypocrite. But to be fair heres a run down of whats good and bad with Digimon and Pokemon in different forms of media. Anime: Digimon, RPG games: Pokemon, non-rpg games (fighting games, racing games, and no smash bros. does not count): Digimon, Magna: both, Card games: both, American dub music: Pokemon, and Japanese dub music: Digimon. Let the flaming begin.
Pokemon are cool but the show is silly and has no depth and the writers are clearly running out of idea now , I mean come on " mega evolution and evolution through fusion has always been a digimon concept so I'll have to disagree with you on the whole " are pokemon better than digimon : of couse they are coment " but that's just you opinion .
That is interesting to think about, however my question is.. how do the humans in digimon obtain their creatures? Are the humans also digital themselves? If they are not digital and don't obtain their creatures through some sort of a download then that could debunk the theory, I don't watch digimon so frankly I have no idea lol.
Digimon is better then Pokemon T.V wised video game wised they were equal not anymore. Digimon combined together Pokemon not do that. Digimon come up with mega evolution first. the characters of the show are better the Ash. I was fan of both when I was a kid so I know. added that human can create Digimon in the shows. human can also be Digimon as well.
Your thinking about it backwards... Pokemon is a perfected version of the monsters from Digimon. lets say somehow scientists were experimenting with digimon and their world, to revert them in intelligence and integrate them into augmented reality but accidentally merging the two worlds (human/digimon) resulting in both of their universe's being destroyed. In the ashes of these universe's there is a primordial liquid/data which gives birth to a new universe thus beginning the era of Pokemon. This would explain the weird physics and abilities the Pokemon are able to use, and would also explain why they are able to store Pokemon in computers so easily being that the universe is part data. (maybe humans cant be captured is because they are purely non digital)
DeVine_Monster if that is the case then why do most pokemon need a mega stone to go mega plus there is also burst mode not to be bias but its pretty easy to tell which are the stronger of the 2 digimon could easily destroy the entire planet if they really wanted to and one of them millenniummon is a fusion of machinedramon and kimeramon already both pretty powerful and millennummon is in a different league not to mention he still has 2 other forms which are far stronger than this version i think only legendary pokemon could match against an ultimate level and if you count mega-mewtwo and mega-rayquaza maybe mega at most but digimon has burst mode and super ultimate not to mention jogress but pokemon in my opinion are a lot more kid friendly ok imagine these 2 devimon and mightyena which looks more kidfriendly
Digimon is better hands down! first off Digimon help save TWO different worlds multiple times, while Pokémon only did so in the movies to make them more "epic" Digimon has a show is even more dynamic. It centers around helping others to live free from oppression and making the world a better place. Also the kids in Digimon and paired with one Digimon to help them and a team centered quest to bring peace to the world. While Pokémon is mainly centered around capturing and basically enslaving wild monsters, and training them to compete in gladiator type battles, all while the trainer gets all the credit. Pokémon evolve basically when they are in a good mood or put in front of a certain stone, where as Digimon digivole when a strong bond is formed with there partner. While I do enjoy playing the pokemon games and even watching the show and I can recognize it is a more popular show with a bigger fandom; I still think Digimon is the greater of the two. Also Digimon were able to go "mega" way before Pokémon and their digivoled(evolved) forms are way more badass that any of the Pokémon.
I am a fan of Digimon and I find your theory very plausible KMACK TIME. Although I disagree with Pokemon being better (just my opinion) and actually there are very little similarities between the two, so calling Digimon a ''knock-off'' is wrong. A knock-off is an unauthorized, cheap copy of something. And let me tell you Digimon is neither cheap nor a copy.
Okay, here are the reasons you are wrong:
1. Digimon came out a year before pokemon. I do not see how it is possible for something to be a copy of something created AFTER it.
2. Your Weedle could NOT become a Dokunemon, because that picture is of a freaking KUNEMON.
3. Digimon being just data? *sigh* This has been explained SO MANY TIMES throughout the anime and manga that I can't believe I'm saying it. The digimon consist of data because that is what their world is made of. When you bring one into the real world, it becomes flesh and blood, it doesn't turn into a f***ing pokemon.
4. The corrupted pokemon file would definately NOT turn into a digimon because the real and digital worlds are completely seperate. The part of the Digital World used in technology is immensely small, and isolated from the rest of the Digital World.
5. V-tamers and f***cking Digimon Next. The humans went into the Digital Wold and stayed human, but their digimon tamagotchis aka devices that contain digimon DNA turned into digimon. The pokemon have NO digimon DNA and would therefore stay as pokemon if they entered the Digital World.
6. Returning. The digimon that were once tamagotchis turned back into tamagotchis when they entered the Real World again. Digimon that were born digimon stayed digimon when they entered the Real World. Anything that was once in the Real World turns back to what it was in the Real World (a.k.a, train to Trailmon, then back to train). Since the pokemon would still be anchored to the Real World, they would not turn into anything from the Digital World, because they are not fully in the Digital World.
Also, pokemon better than digimon? Please tell me you're joking.
Can't believe all the idiotic hate among these two fandoms. Both Pokemon *AND* Digimon are awesome. Who cares if one copied the other? They're both unique in there own ways, and they both have merits and flaws. Pokemon's games are the best, but the anime is shit. Digimon's anime is amazing, but the games are often times lackluster. Not to be cheesy, but "can't we all just get along" and agree that both are great?
Thank you! I've been trying to get that point across for ages!
Pokemon actually had one season that isn't shit season 1
karen irizarry
We can agree on that, though I'd say that the Orange Islands and first season of Johto were pretty good too. All went down hill after that though.
Also, Pokémon Origins.
Yeah I agree with you.
I love both Pokemon and Digimon. i dont understand why people think they have to choose one or the other.
But this is an interesting theory, however there is the humans becoming digital to save the digital and the real world, and there is also the issue that Digimon can talk to humans.
You could argue that when the "Pokemon" Digivolves into the next level the corruption forces it back into its original state.
Would definitely like to hear more on this theory though. I find it interesting and maybe it'll put an and to the Pokemon/Digimon war.
Well my idea is that Digimon get the ability to talk from bits of information from the Trainers from when they were caught. because there is the whole " you can't catch another persons pokemon" thing. So when they are corrupted they gain a small part of their trainers intelligenc and possibly attributes.
James Hallock I like both two but I think Digimon is better.
Digimon show > Pokemon show. Pokemon games > Digimon games
I think it depends on the games to be honest.
threebeforetwo yeah
@Joseph Schembri True
The digimon anime is a hell of a lot better than Pokemon
preach it! 🙋
+88 expert Talking about Pokémon or Digimon?
This theory sounds more like a pull than anything.
I like this theory, it's cool to think about. Pokemon always made it seem like the pokeballs turned the pokemon into data that could then be stored on the PC.
Who is your favorite pokemon or digimon?
Gengar and Betamon/Megaseadramon are my favorites!
pokemon Pidgeot line and digimon The Chibomon/Goldramon line is my favorite :D
My favorite pokemon is lucario.
Have you found any atla theories?

Digimon is not a copy of Pokemon! I'm sick of this argument, especially when Pokemon fan rip on Digimon even though they've never seen it just because they think it's a copy. I'll admit that in later seasons of the show that it does seem like they're borrowing a few ideas but that's it, borrowing ideas is different to copying, and don't anyone even dare say Pokemon is completely original and never borrowed from Digimon either. People think Digimon is a copy mainly because both feature mon in the title and feature creatures pairing up with human children to fight against their own kind, that's it, but if you get an unbiased overview of the first seasons of both you'll find them completely different aside from what I just stated. My full argument is too long for a RUclips comment but if you look online you'll find plenty of blogs about how Digimon is different to Pokemon. And I'll just say this before I finish, I watched both shows growing up and then forgot about them for awhile and then I eventually revisited them later on, I fell in love with Digimon all over again while I couldn't even get past the first episode of Pokemon, so I find Digimon superior based on how I like it, not because I force myself to hate Pokemon for stupid reasons.
Everything seemed reasonable except the fact that there were ep's where the digimon came into the real world
How can Digimon be a Pokemon rip off when its nothing like Pokemon? It has different plot, characters etc
There is the Monster befriending/capture franchise...
but Pokemon was not the first one.
Aaaand Pokemon Is Like Random Name While Digimon End Up With Mon
Then, Pokemon is a ripoff of Shin Megami Tensei.
Makes me laugh that people still think Pokemon are better than Digimon. Digimon at least changes its mechanics, themes, and so much more each generation.
Pokemon is stale
Interesting idea, but what about the Digimon interacting with people who don't know what a Pokemon is? They always seemed to be weirded out when the Digimon show up, unlike the Pokemon world where there are Pokemon everywhere.
Oh yeah, Charizard's my favorite, and Agumon is my favorite Digimon!!!
As for Digimon coping pokemon there are a few problems such as Deltamon came before hydreigon and before DNA splicers were in pokemon Digimon had DNA Digivolveing and mega evolution being powered by a bond well... Digimon did that first to even the name mega evolution was stolen from Mega Digivolve.
This theory is dumb because:
1: In some Digimon games and the anime, we see that in the real world there isnt a single Pokemon.
2: They are 2 different universes.
3:The part of the Corrupted pokemon part is stupid and its just a bug of the game.
My favorite pokemon is vulpix. My favorite digimon is gatomon.
If you haven't realized, I love foxes and cats.
Yes Pokemon came first. However Digimon was more developed as in terms of character and story development. The story and characters build on each other each episode. There was legitimate threat and danger and was more real. Pokemon though was cute at the time, quickly became repetitive and annoying. Ash is still 10, Pikachu hasn't evolved, and Team Rocket are still the annoying pests they have been since day one, still chasing Pikachu even though there are other Pokemon more rare than it. Besides Ash and Pikachu, and some other duo human/Pokemon lesser characters, there is little to no emotional connection between humans an pokemon, it was more about quantity than quality. Which is why Digimon is superior in that aspect because the digimon are pared usually (with some exceptions) by one digimon per human partner. This allows humans and digimon to develop a more emotional connection as oppose to pokemon which clearly sets up a world where animal fighting and violence is glorified. Pokemon violence was intended for sport while Digimon violence was only for self defense or saving the two worlds. There are more moral and educational values to Digimon than in Pokemon and is an overall better story. Yes Pokemon has kept to the same characters for the most part and has remained popular, which is a hard thing to do and I give them credit for that. And I am sure the creators of Pokemon did not intend to glorify animal fighting but yes it happened. Digimon yes does have it's down moments too. After the second season they began following the Power Rangers formula (Digimon is produced by Toei, the same company that produces Super Sentai/Power Rangers, and Kamen Rider) in which they change the characters and plot each season but maintain the same basic formula. Digimon Adventure 1 & 2 were successful, yet Digimon Tamers set in an alternate universe was much more well received in the USA that the original series. Yet it began to dwindle in popularity in Digimon Frontier. Digimon Savers nearly got Digimon canceled, and it was years before Digimon Xros Wars/Fusion aired. Digimon is still one of my favorite shows and if I had to chose between Digimon or Pokemon it would always be Digimon. And I look forward to the third season of Digimon Adventure next year. Hopefully Nickelodeon doesn't mistreat it because it doesn't involve a yellow sponge.
and also the digimon are able to say more then one word they are able to have conversations when pokemon cant the digimon are able to tell you how you feel and when the digimon got hurt the the digidestined (don't know if I spelled it right) were cared to let them fight the more powerful digimon because they were scared they would either get hurt again or die and when the kids had t leave the digital world they were crying because they grew so close to each other so yes digimon is better and the fighting in that show is just for self defense not for winning any medal or ribbion
@@winxlove452 Your Right
I had another thought... Evolution/digivultion.
The reason it's only temporary is because it's corrupted to the extent that changes can't be kept.
When I was little I loved digimon and Pokemon I remember that every night I would watch both of the shows to me there equally awesome
this could make sense, especially because if a computer is designed to hold digital forms of living beings it would probably have a program that tries to restore corrupted .Mon data but will often do it wrong due to the fact of pcs being so primitive at the time, the pc would then not recognize the "restored" file as a pokemon or item and attempt to delete it and fail to do so because .Mon files would probably have anti-deletion flags, the computer would then remove the file by sending away from the computer to prevent harm to the computer or its contents (the file somehow ending up in the digimon universe)
so to sum it up
1. stored pokemon gets corrupted
2. p.c attempts fix the corruption resulting in a digimon
3. p.c doesn't recognize digimon as a safe file and attempts to delete it
4. p.c can't delete it so it sends it away
could make for some interesting fanfiction
Lol, almost every theory is either imagination in a coma, everyone is dead, they're insane, or they're drugged out.
These theories need to get more creative/original SOMEWHAT like this one.
Mario is a communist. How's that? Not from a cartoon but pretty well known nonetheless. Check out game theory for more info.
The Gray Pet, in each game Mario saves a monarch and helps her to get back on her throne. Mario isn't "red", he is "white". But Bowser in Mario Party has an event *"Bowser Revolution" where he takes all coins from players and redistributes them equally!* So who's a communist now?
Not really, I've seen too much of these
Hmmmm.....so if i leave my weedle in a pc for to long he will be corrupted and transformed into dukemon?.....thats pretty fuking awsome.
Digimon World>Pokemon Red & Blue
Digimon are better than pokemon. Why? Digimon have human level intelligence, pokemon are at most as intelligent as more intelligent animals such as dolphins. Digimon can talk, pokemon doesn't (and no, poketalk doesn't count). Digimon anime has a better plot than any of pokemon series, which follows in most cases standard template of "ash visits some place, team rocket tries to steal pikachu and/or other pokemon, ash defats team rocket, end episode", where in digimon it's way more interesting. The only thing I can't compare are games, but even if digimon games turns out to suck, digimon still wins due to other things I've mentioned.
Nice argument, but you missed something crucial; The originally. Yes the Digimon anime is WAY better than the main Pokemon anime, but Pokemon is not just an anime series, it's also game series. Pokemon was first made as a game in Japan, it was also it's own thing. What I mean by that is that it had mechanics in game like trading other Pokemon, the point of the game and we're the inspiration came from. Digimon on the other hand, was not always a game series, it was a tamagotchi for boys. Digimon is basically tamagotchi Pokemon. It than got the anime adaptation, but this is basically Digimon's true strong suit. I say this because even though Digimon had a way better show than Pokemon, it didn't impact as hard as Pokemon did.
When I was younger, 2nd grade, Pokemon was all around the playground. Kids would trade cards, take about the TV show and battle and trade vai their DS. And it still stands strong today (20th anniversary this year and all), it's something I can talk about with younger people and say, "back in my generation, fairy's didn't exist". Pokemon, at least for me, as always been around. Digimon however...I stumbled upon it when I was looking for something to watch on Netflix. It was an amazing show, but I was older at the time I watched it, already in my teens. I did some research and found that Digimon was originally a tamagotchi turned Pokemon thing that came out in the nineties, as Pokemon's main rival, kind of like Sonic to Mario. Well, as good as the show was, it did not get as popular as Pokemon, than fell into obscurity, kind of like what happened to Sonic... Heck, even Tamagotchi is still very popular in Japan, with them hogging all the cool color ones. I did see a little hope for digimon though, I found a small toy section of it. But in all originally and impact, Pokemon is " better " than Digimon.
I just wanted to put this out their since people always claim that Digimon is better than Pokemon based on the anime, You know, to attack Pokemon's weak suit. But Pokemon as the games and the impact it has with a lot of people, kind of like what the Mario games have. (Sorry, this is the last repetitive comparison...) And yes their are some things Pokemon copies from Digimon (Mega Evolution and possible trainer-pokemon friendship fusion thing that might come out in the new games, I'm looking at you) It still has it's originality.
Hoped you agree or at least acknowledge this reply and feel free to point out anything I missed, I wanted to reply this way instead of:
"OMG!! The anime has no crap on the original Pokemon games you f#%&$@!!!1;;1!! Pokemon R intelligence!!! Ever heard of Human-like Pokemon you hipster-pokemon-wannaby-trah loverrrrrr!!!!!!!1" Like almost all butthurt pokemon fans would. I have great respect for the "Hipster-pokemanz"😝 lolz
+Elayna Church
Pokemon had more impact, but still, Digimon it's better. Some digimon games suck, i can't deny that, but some others are far better than pokemon, that has been repeating the same game through years.
Except Pokémon started around 1996 while Digimon started sometime around 2000. They even point out in almost every series of Digimon that the digital world and the human world are seperate dimensions.
Digimon came up with mega evo and pokemon took it what next? Jogress?
As a computer geek, I love this theory!
CARTOON CONSPIRACY THEORY:spongebob is dumber that Patrick
The slight reason I think Digimon is better, aside from plots, character development and such is that, the series of digimon changed over time and had different seasons. A lot more different characters, different digimon, fusion, transforming all that jazz.
As for what I remembered in pokemon (from my childhood in the 90s) is it kinda stayed the same. There was a few different plots and stuff, but it stayed mostly the same for quite sometime. It just ran on about the same thing until their goal finished and set on another quest. I love both shows, but digimon was slightly better in my taste. But yaknow, other people have different opinions lol
Dobbermon is a fan made digimon from a contest winner.
Charizard is my favorite, although I doubt that I'm spelling his name correctly; and I personally found this theory intriguing.
Necropost here, but yes, you are spelling it correctly.
Why can't we both just agree that Digimon and PoKeMon are both flawed yet at the same time they are both good.
PoKeMon is known to have better games while after the good part of the anime ended after the plot started getting a bit tired.
They both have their flaws yet they both manage to excel in different areas.
The last one with hydreigon doesn't really count since hydreigon is very recent where digimon ended quite some time ago
It's funny how pokemon fans just says "Pokemon". While Digimon fans give reasons why. LMAO. Digimon til I die
my pokemon pearl file is corrupted,so your saying all my pokemon are now digimon.... AWSOME!!!
I really like this theory keep it up
You came up with this all your self? You're a fucking GENIUS
judging on 2 Pokemnon movies the one with Mewtwo and the one with Genesect. Humans in the Pokemon universe has both genetically and technologically modified Pokemon so is it possible that Digimon are corrupted on purpose trying to create a new species or better adapt a pre existing species?
I thought of one for last airbender. I haven't seen it anywhere else this is all just thoughts I personally had on this subject.
Azula from last airbender.
*spoilers for TLA/LOK*
Many feel she's schizophrenic. . However I disagree. I'm not sure if there's any writing on it but I have a different impression.
First: who is azula?
Azula is the fire lords second child, his daughter. Shes not liked much by her mother, but often praised on her paternal side. Her older brother zuko, loved by his mother, banished by his father, is her main source of competition. She has two friends to her name, mai and ty lee. Both only side with her out of fear.
Shes terrible at dating, social ques etc.
And towards the end she goes "crazy".
Second: what does she *do*?
Well simply put she tries to kill the avatar in the avatar state. She tries to burn the earth kingdom. She tries to use fear to make people loyal to her. She clings for any control she has. She uses angle. Shes clever, and powerful. And blood thirsty. (But is she? More on that later)
Third: why does she do it?
Well how often do we examine the motivations of villains? Well in the avatar series (both last airbender and legend of korra) nearly all villains are given real, human, reasons for their actions. from sozin starting the war because of a mistaken belief in american exceptionalism...I mean because the fire nation is so great and it's best to share this perfect and great system... even if you have to invade and start a war to make the other nations see it.
Ozai wanted power and would never consider anything too low to take it. Even fire lord was too low a title, he preferred phoenix king.
Amon hated benders because of abuse. He had particular issue with the avatar that lead his father to become abusive.
Unaloq, like ozai, sought power. He felt himself superior, and the best to bring balance.
Even the latest villain, zaheer, was fed by a manipulation at every deeper ideology than blind antagonism.
His ideology was anarchy, and opposition of hierarchy and segregation perpetrated not just by royalty or the walls of ba sing se, but by the seperation of human and spirits, and of course, the existence of an avatar.
What then is azulas motivation?
She doesn't want the highest title. Nor does she really want to kill the avatar. She doesn't actually care about burning cities. She doesn't even care about cherries.
What she does care about, is approval.
Her sole motivation is to be seen as good enough, strong enough, better than zuko. To earn affection, to feel loved.
She wanted her mother and father but knew they weren't compatible. She sought her father knowing ursa had a fondness for zuko.
She chooses not to share anything that could damage her reputation. She even freaks out when she thinks she isn't good enough to join her father. She thought she earned his approval, what did she do wrong?!
During her coronation set up, she seems to become paranoid. Thinking theres a threat. Indeed she is afraid. Of anything that might damage the approval she worked so hard for. Any imperfection. Any threat to her life and shed be seen as sloppy, ill prepared, or weak.
When she saw her mother, it wasn't a schizophrenic hallucination, she hadn't gotten those before. It was stress playing her mind. She had tucked away her need for her mother's approval, but it resurfaced. She knew it was fake. She hated knowing she wanted her mother to be proud.
She refused to accept it. She lashed out at herself more than anything.
Her final battle with katara was effectively her tipping point. If she couldn't retain het status she wasn't worthy. She'd be seen as weak. Weaker than zuko, whom she spent most of her life painting as weak and pathetic.
I haven't read the search, but I do know shegot worse over time. This would fit in with my diagnosis of codependency.
In case there's any doubt as to her diagnosis, let's consider the fact that she prefectly matches 10/12. 5/6.
And loosely can fit all of them.
Symptoms are
People pleasing
Low self esteem
Poor boundaries
Reactivity
Care taking
Control (needing control of their moods, or of those around them, or of their settings)
Dysfunctional communication
Obsessions
Dependency
Denial
Problems with intimacy, and
painful emotions (both of which are shown on ember island, as well as communication issues.
Only low self esteem and care taking are a stretch.
And this is consistent with her personality ever since she was introduced at the end of book 1. completely submissive and eager to please her father, and the need for complete control of the process, thus choosing a smaller team that can easily be controlled and watched at all times by her.
i like poke and digimon but im pretty sure Deltamon was created before Hydreigon >.> haha ^_^ anyyyywaaaaaaaaay
You'd be correct Hydreigon was created in 2010 and Deltamon was created in 1997 but his anime debut was in 2000.
I like your theory it actually makes sense. but what about the Digi Destines where do they fit in this theory. If pokemon have trainers and Digimon are corrupted files of their original selves where do the digi destines fit in this theory.
Why do people keep comparing Patamon to Picachu? Electmon is clearly the more logical match.
Really good theory I would say probably one of your best I forgot the secret word but I did finish the video
I would theorise that Digimon came first and became Pokemon instead. The Pokemon world is so similar to ours that some people speculate it's a post apocalypse, while the Digimon world is literally just ours (the real world in Digimon, the digital world is something else of course). Wouldn't it make sense if that the Digimon world turned into the Pokemon world over time?
I like them both way back when. I had not realized then how similar they where. I just like watching them only because they where cute critters on my TV screen. XD
That picture of "dokunemon" is actually a picture of kunemon .
True
And so the Pokemon Vs Digimon war begins again.
Pokemon: Delphox Digimon: None of them because all their names are practically the same thing
Pokemon will never be better than digimon enough with that contingency.
Most of people didn't even see Digimon! I was that stupid fan shit who always say POKEMON IS BETTER!!! Then I watched Digimon and now I am ending season 3. I am more pokefan than digifan but I need to say that digimon or pokemon aren't any cancer they both are awesome!!!
Pokemon and btw I like that theory also could explain why there are different types of the same digimon multiple saves ghosted over each other.
People need to quit trying to compare them. They aren't rip offs just have some similarities.
Charlie12241 uh digimon are tamagachis pokemon anime came first so the anime copied pokemon trying to make money off the hype but digimon games came first so pokemon came out with games to make money off the rpg monster faze in japan but they hit it big being the first of the two companies to have portable games which became very popular at the time they were rival companies and then came yugioh which copied them and then Duel Masters the biggest rippoff ever of a show I have ever seen its literally the same show as yugioh without the interesting backstory of the pharoh the millennium items and the interesting villains it just sucks imagine if yugioh was just duels it would have sucked that's duel masters in a nutshell the whole series lol basically companies do like to copy each other to make money off of the hype theres nothing wrong with admitting it
Both anime couldn't be more different. Both r good but Digimon is more mature and actually has a good story and consequences. Pokemon is good for little children and teaches younger kids small life lessons and Digimon is still a kids show but it deals with more mature tones like death depression and hopelessness.
”mon”, I think it's a japanese word "モン" which came from English word "monster", in Jpanese way is モンスター。。 I love both show though, big part of my childhood....
Favorite Digimon would either be Omnimon or WarGreymon
I think that when the file get corrupted I think the Pokemon are free from the computer and they go to the forest. That just my hypothesis.
Guys I can't stand saying that witch fandom is better. Please guys, wake up! This make me cry. You are like hyenas fighting for dead food. If pokemon and digimon are same, there shouldn't be wars. Myself, when I realized that Digimon exsisted, I was happy that there is something close to the thing I has watching my whole childhood and watch it.
Digimon has a better plot than Pokemon but the creators of Digimon could've thought of a better name other than Digimon because COME ON they're really pushing those haters to call it a rip-off.
This needs to be a hack game or something. I would find it very humurous to go playing half way through your pokemon game the PC corrupts and your pokemon go to there digimon counter parts. Later on throufh the game maybe you could switch back and fourth between em. Moves idk how thatd work out but it would be cool to see something like this.
Bad Theory
I LOVE BOTH OF THESE SHOWS SO MUCH!!!! :')))
+Coherent Osin Ello i can't decide
there is a problem with this theory agumon digivolved from koro mon and koro mon doesnt look like any pokemon unless you count ditto
Yeah
That hacking never really happened to me on the game, I was of the lucky gamers who did a pretty on the Pokemon. Plus I didn't think Digimon was that cool I thought Pokemon was more smooth and it was more righteous.
Digimon Show > Pokemon Show. Digimon Games > Pokemon Games. Look at Cyber Sleuth, Hackers Memory, and World Next Order.
It makes sense also note where do you store your pokemon you using your Pocket and Digimon well are digital always but wait to confirm are they still Digimon when in the real world or Pokemon.
Hi Kmak uh can u do my Frozen theory, it may not be that good but plz I basically link Frozen to mk
hmm my copy of Ruby said it was corrupted but it all came back
Pokemon isn't better than digimon. they're both great. Digimon isn't better than Pokemon.
you're welcome you no longer need to watch this video.
Little that anyone know Digimon wasn't meant for kids compared to Pokemon. In Japan, Digimon was aired in the evening slot along with other anime for older viewers while Pokemon was aired during the afternoon along with Power Rangers and Kamen Rider for kids. A lot of mature content dialogue and episodes/scenes were cut in Digimon when it was being filter to suit U.S younger audiences. Shoot, Augumon is an asshole to Tai through and through.
Anywho, I suggest that we leave Pokemon and Digimon alone and appreciate that we were able to enjoy both of the worlds when we were kids.
Pokemon? Digimon? Hmmmmmmm....which do I like most???
Screw it! I think they're both pretty darn good. I don't play them, but I always liked the shows and movies.
What about the humans in the digit on series how did they get into the digital world
Can you do a theory on peppermint butler from adventure time please
Awesome theory
Imma 90s baby man eventhough I LOVE THE ORIGINAL 150 POKEMON my favorite has to be TYPHLOSION OR MACHAMP ,MY FAVORITE DIGIMON IS WAR-GREYMON AGUMON DIGIVOLVES TO HIM
chris arias You know that Typhlosion isn't part of the original 150/151, right?
Mitch Cochrane yea I know machamp is my favorite from the 150 and typhlosion from the new one not too long after
pokemon aren't stored on the pcs they're stored at pokemon labs and transported through the pc but something could have gone wrong while the pokemon where being transported.
hi agumon hope you digivolve into greymon please
To be honest Im a Digimon guy and I have nothing against it. But I hate these Pokemon that say Digimon sucks even though clearly they had never seen more than one episode and I'll have you know I watched at least 30 Pokemon episodes, played firered, ruby, platinum, and Y so you can't called me a hypocrite. But to be fair heres a run down of whats good and bad with Digimon and Pokemon in different forms of media. Anime: Digimon, RPG games: Pokemon, non-rpg games (fighting games, racing games, and no smash bros. does not count): Digimon, Magna: both, Card games: both, American dub music: Pokemon, and Japanese dub music: Digimon. Let the flaming begin.
Pokemon are cool but the show is silly and has no depth and the writers are clearly running out of idea now , I mean come on " mega evolution and evolution through fusion has always been a digimon concept so I'll have to disagree with you on the whole " are pokemon better than digimon : of couse they are coment " but that's just you opinion .
What is the ending song? Sounds awesome.
Pokemon Pokemon Pokemon Yes i made it till the end and ur cool :D
Pokemon is just the cuter version of digimon
Digimon is more interesting to watch for me. Pokemon is just a game to me. I've only watched the first series of Pokemon.
you can search "(pokémon XYZ- ashgreninja vs mega sceptile eng sub) "how interesting battle if you have watched. hihihi😉
I Love Art digimon battles are slow paced but that's good sometimes its not but honestly I prefer digimon battles more
Pokemon. Who is your favorite pokemon? Rayquaza. :)
That is interesting to think about, however my question is.. how do the humans in digimon obtain their creatures? Are the humans also digital themselves? If they are not digital and don't obtain their creatures through some sort of a download then that could debunk the theory, I don't watch digimon so frankly I have no idea lol.
Watch the show subbed.
I already do
My favorite Pokemon are Eevee, Arcanine, Vulpix and Togekiss.
Pokemon!
I think that digimon on could be a video game based off of pokemon that kids in the pokemon world play
How would you explain the talking?
Digimon is better then Pokemon T.V wised
video game wised they were equal not anymore.
Digimon combined together Pokemon not do that.
Digimon come up with mega evolution first.
the characters of the show are better the Ash.
I was fan of both when I was a kid so I know.
added that human can create Digimon in the shows.
human can also be Digimon as well.
I grew up on Digimon, so I like the more.
I saw Pokemon, but I never liked them.
Mon stands for monster such as gilamon stands for gila monster
Your thinking about it backwards... Pokemon is a perfected version of the monsters from Digimon. lets say somehow scientists were experimenting with digimon and their world, to revert them in intelligence and integrate them into augmented reality but accidentally merging the two worlds (human/digimon) resulting in both of their universe's being destroyed. In the ashes of these universe's there is a primordial liquid/data which gives birth to a new universe thus beginning the era of Pokemon. This would explain the weird physics and abilities the Pokemon are able to use, and would also explain why they are able to store Pokemon in computers so easily being that the universe is part data. (maybe humans cant be captured is because they are purely non digital)
DeVine_Monster if that is the case then why do most pokemon need a mega stone to go mega plus there is also burst mode not to be bias but its pretty easy to tell which are the stronger of the 2 digimon could easily destroy the entire planet if they really wanted to and one of them millenniummon is a fusion of machinedramon and kimeramon already both pretty powerful and millennummon is in a different league not to mention he still has 2 other forms which are far stronger than this version i think only legendary pokemon could match against an ultimate level and if you count mega-mewtwo and mega-rayquaza maybe mega at most but digimon has burst mode and super ultimate not to mention jogress
but pokemon in my opinion are a lot more kid friendly ok imagine these 2 devimon and mightyena
which looks more kidfriendly
and did you mean pokemon are better in terms of power design or plot ?
would make an interesting mini series and movie.
my pokemon soul silver got corrupted but it fixed itself and it works fine still
i'm just going to point out that it is explained that the government created digimon
dam thats a bad way to store pokemon on a computer
Digimon is better hands down! first off Digimon help save TWO different worlds multiple times, while Pokémon only did so in the movies to make them more "epic" Digimon has a show is even more dynamic. It centers around helping others to live free from oppression and making the world a better place. Also the kids in Digimon and paired with one Digimon to help them and a team centered quest to bring peace to the world. While Pokémon is mainly centered around capturing and basically enslaving wild monsters, and training them to compete in gladiator type battles, all while the trainer gets all the credit. Pokémon evolve basically when they are in a good mood or put in front of a certain stone, where as Digimon digivole when a strong bond is formed with there partner. While I do enjoy playing the pokemon games and even watching the show and I can recognize it is a more popular show with a bigger fandom; I still think Digimon is the greater of the two. Also Digimon were able to go "mega" way before Pokémon and their digivoled(evolved) forms are way more badass that any of the Pokémon.
this was a pretty awesome theory and i have an epic idea 4 a fanfic thnx but pokemon is still better
Some digimon came out earlier than some of the pokemon, vice versa, so there isnt any copy or what not.
