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.

    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.

    The title is a nod at Palworlds current relevance.

    Digimon similarly did a lot of stuff Pokémon wouldn’t.

    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…

      It could be worse. Like, Pixie (Monster Rancher) tiers of worse:

      (I liked the MR games way more than Pokemon to be honest. Also screw Octachrome.)

    They’re not really monsters though. They’re like… Some sort of otherworld demons.

    Which means it’s acceptable to procreate.

  The anime will always be superior, but even the games noticed it’s more fun to actually take care of your monster friends since they put on all kinds of systems like making sandwiches, grooming, giving a bath, etc.
