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 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.
>iFunny
>sales and popularity are what determines if something is good or not
>innovates
Doing what? Making every Digimon into a titty monster? Or making more Gundam Digimon?
>tries new ideas
How? Keeping the same turn-based battles but changing the graphics?
>different genres of gameplay
Aw dude, i love Resident Evil Digimon edition, and the Digimon Dynasty Warriors, or the Digimon Visual Novel.
Fucking seriously?
>kickass creature designs
Are you 12? Im sure you can still pop boners to Digimon, but that doesn't mean every one else still does.
>willing to try new things
You literally repeated the same thing twice.
It determines if it lives or not which is all it matters at the end, guess what category is Digimion on?
>he thinks applimon, a common shit in Japan that Tamagotchi and other kids toys has been doing for years ago, is innovation
by the way the mascot of applimon is a certain red cat :^)
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.
>this entitled prick thinks companies owe him good games
>implying money isn't first
>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
you can't really compare the games as they cover two distinctly different genres
>this consumer-whore thinks it's fine to fork over your hard won cash for mediocre shit
I guess you're right.
I just wish Gamefreak and Nintendo in general wouldn't be so afraid to leave their comfort zones.
Agumon!
and....
uh..................
Greymon?
Is it the 90s again?
>implying Pokemon isn't boring
The children and competitive play keep this game alive. I still can't play Gen 4 to this day, despite the great soundtrack.
>not pirating mediocre shit
It's the only right way to play Pokémon.
this argument relies that Digimon's recent outings aren't less than mediocre
GF only, not Nintendo
and technically they do, most the problems are attributed more on technical stuff
I wish.
>CS music
>bland
youtube.com
so lets just get this started then shall we
Kuremi's theme and the main theme are the only good ones.
Bad news about that m8.
Gen 4 is the absolute worse. I played through Plat once and sold it immediately after.
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.
>EXTREME JIHAD
Digimon is literally terrorist wankbait
>playing nostalgiabox less speed edition
>obese manchildren
>people
Gen 4's problem is its speed, but otherwise it's decent
most of the stuff that keeps it alive is the competitive shit, the target audience, and well, the mons themselves
>Digimon
>Dead
>they just announced a new batch of media
Oh tripfags, the epitome of idiocy
angewomon's face hasn't fully rendered yet
>mfw all the cool ones turn into mechas
Bamco and their Gundam obsession, I swear...
The fact that Pokemon has better games than digimon determines if it's good or not.
Not him, but HGSS literally has the most content of the entire series.
Not even talking about Kanto, there's just a fuckton of stuff to constantly do.
>I'm gonna make an awesome digimon thread today
>But wait, shouldn't I use this chance to bitch about videogames instead?
>Sup Forums
Pretty sure announcing something solely for mobile makes it kinda dead.
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.
It really sucks if you're a fan of both, and idiots from both sides plus 90s fags are using both to shitpost
>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
>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.
>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
>Digimon Visual Novel
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.
Nah.
Yeah the pacing is atrocious
most of them are bargain bin tier
and let's not forget Digital Story, a.k.a. rehash central, and that a bunch of folks fell for it via Cyber Slut
>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.
No man, official art shows that there is a face under the helmet not just a mesh.
I've always liked both. I just wish more Digimon games came over to the west officially.
>Pretty sure announcing something solely for mobile makes it kinda dead
They hinted a 3ds game as well
>The fact that they had to shift from a wider audience to otaku should also be another.
So in that case FE is deader than dead
...
So who likes Digimon? Normal guys that just happen to like waifumons? I'm a disgusting neckbeard myself, so I"m wondering where all of these normalfags that also like Digimon are.
You think Digimon has it bad? Try Metabots.
can't let me even have one joke can you user
>otaku
>a youkai watch knockoff
Needs more tiddies
>Digimon
>Innovates
>literally a rip-off of Pokemon

>is willing to try new things.reinvent itself
>see above
OP, you're a fag and an idiot.
Did Platinum have a bug catching contest or Battle Tower?
>That Gargomon/WereGarurumon
Difference is, pokemon began with a game. Anime is a shitshow for kids (but I watch it sometimes just to see them pokemon), wheras digimon it was vice versa, and the games are OKayish.
>no argument
Thanks for proving me right :^)
Sorry user, womons are serious business.
So why do I see a bunch of people comparing Yokai watch to Pokemon now? Is it just the same thing again?
>Pretty sure announcing something solely for mobile makes it kinda dead.
Applimon is a multimedia project. They have a new anime, an arcade game, a 3DS game, and mobile apps all lined up.
>Digimon 15th anniversary
>Lets make a new season
>OK fuck it, lets turn them into a six part movies event that are around 4 months apart
>OK lets make it 6 months in between to drag it out even longer
>By the time the movies finish, it will be 2017-2018
>Might even try to milk it to 2019 for the 20th anniversary
Doesn't help that the first two movies were shit too.
all the final stage digimon look the exact same
some giant ass humanoid looking thing with world ending level attacks, with a bunch of un necisairy details that nobody remembers anyway.
the games have been the same forever
and the anime is shit.
this is pretty amazing
>that cat in pants with a minigun
>he thinks FE only caters to otaku
hahahahahahaha
to be fair the only games worth playing that didn't come overseas are Digimon Lost Story (the actual, only GOOD iteration of Digimon Story games) and RE:Digitize (which itself is crappy compared to DW1)
I'm talking about Tri
nigga Battle Tower came from Pt
Bug Catching contest is essentially an extended Safari Zone
>So in that case FE is deader than dead
it hurts.
i still liked conquest a lot from a gameplay perspective though, haven't gotten to the others, yet.
A FUCKING KEYCHAIN
Wasn't the battle tower in Emerald first, though?
Pretty much.
There's some belief that there can be only one monster collecting game in the West or something
>Pokemon has 0 good mainline games, as opposed to digimon :^)
I don't need to argue if that's your point. You could have just said the sky is green.
I win, sorry.
>literally a rip-off of Pokemon
Literally stopped reading there.
Tri is nostalgiafag pandering, not otaku.
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.
>shitting on pokemon designs
A reminder to get a load of this and be grateful for what you have
>people still confuse keychain to keyring
should I blame Kingdom hearts
yeah but Pt has the ones people consider the best iteration, which they then port into HG/SS
the way they designed it by having more focus on the social lives of the character, and the whole "movie only" gives it an otaku feel
hell you could pretty much move it into the otaku hour in Japan's channels and it wouldn't be so different
>I win you lose bwah!
Isn't it cute? He gets BTFO and claims he won
Fuck off, Arthur.
Are all of you faggots forgetting that Pokemon didn't invent the concept of monster raising and that Megaten predates all of these things?
>you cant complain something that is bad because worst things exist
>Pokémon
>The trainer uses strategy and quick-thinking while commanding moves
>Digimon
>the human stands there like some kind of friendship battery I guess
I didn't watch Digimon but the examples I have seen seem to follow this, am I incorrect?
>he doesn't want to fuck rokurokubi
Shit taste kouhai.
Is that a fucking vampire remote?
>implying these aren't all top tier for their context
Kill yourself
Digimon began with V-Pets
You could switch the names and make the exact same argument, fuck off.
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
>he thinks FE only caters to otaku
>what is TMS?
Although I think you're right FE not only caters to otaku but also to people who are too dumb to play a real strategy game
these look like the fake pokemon south park made up
>Psssh... nothin personnel, kid
Refer back to this post.
You forgot the smug anime face to seal your argument as impenetrable :^)
>Digimon
>fuse to become a literal friendship battery
you're just about spot on
One found a very effective formula and stuck to it
nigga Digimon came first as a virtual pet with the idea of "tamagotchi for boys" whereas Pokemon came out first as an attempted manga of Capsule Monsters
teenager demographic != otaku
>being this mad over losing an argument
Lmao
Where? I don't see it.
>Being this mad that I won the argument.
kek
But that's exactly what the guy he replied to did.
An idiot typically wants to drag down his opponent to their level and then beat them with stupidity.
lurk the fuck moar and you might pick up on these things.
Bottom left.
What are you talking about? From what I've seen in both series, a Pokemon trainer is a tactician while a Digimon owner seems more like a cheerleader. I'm absolutely sure I'm not mistaken about Pokémon.
The first virtual pet game came out in America a year before tamagotchi.
