The title is a nod at Palworlds current relevance.
Digimon similarly did a lot of stuff Pokémon wouldn’t.
Comment on Knock-off pokemon was wild

Digimon is so much better than pokemon. Besides, they were developed around the same time anyway, so it’s not possible for it to be a knock off. The ideas of monster hunting and taming isn’t exactly novel, wasn’t even original back then.

The Digimon anime was straight up fire. The digitations (?) were absolutely wild. Not like, it’s a bigger rat now but really insane. Loved it as a child

Unfortunately it suffered even more from the “it evolves into an anthropomorphic animal” syndrome than pokemon does…

Digimon started as a Tamogotchi clone more than a Pokémon clone, the original Digimon toys were virtual pet devices.

Clone is a weird word, since both toys had the same people behind them.

And the early Wonderswan games were basically tamagotchi with short path battles, a true upgrade I feel.
