Poll: Digimon or Pokemon

[Lieju]

Pokemon, since I liked the games so much.

Plus the digimon finnish dub is among the worst dubs ever, allthough it's a part of the charm...

 

[Nicragomi]

besides...

I doubt Pokemon could ever come up with a villian as badass as Apocalymon

 

[Sven und EIN HUND]

Digimon always seemed a bit 1 sided and imitation-cereal compared to pokemon, but then again, I only watched a few episodes :3

 

[Schlorgan]

Let's compare them:

Pokemon had one okay season and then sucked for the next ten years

Digimon has three good seasons (One being VERY GOOD), plus much more creative and badass creature designs

 

[Crazy_Bird]

Digimon has a more interesting story and better monster design. Besides the different levels and the more complex evolution trees are very compelling.
The Pokemon show had no real story to begin with and was utterly stupid as the plot went on to newer games.

But and this is quite a big but Pokemon video games are fun whereas most Digimon games are pain (the latest DS game was allright though).

Digimon had a lot of potential. Most of it was squandered, sure, but it had potential.

 

[ethaninja]

Can I choose neither by any chance?

 

[Skeleon]

I grew up with neither but played some Pokemon games, so, yeah. Pokemon, I guess.
Also, whenever I zapped into either of those shows, Digimon always seemed... crappier?
I never stayed long on their respective channels, though.

 

[TheRealCJ]

How about one nor t'other?

They were both decent anime series, but it's not like they were in direct competition: one started life as a more badass version of Tamagotchi, the other started as a videogame. Why can't I like both?

 

[gunningyoudown]

i like both. . . . alot. . . . but thats just me

 

[Shoggoth2588]

POKEMON! I CHOOSE YOU!

that's the power of nostalgia.

 

[GruntOwner]

I liked Digimon, but never really watched much of it. saw a movie or two, and it kinda beat anything Pokemon could field.
So I'd say Digimon.

Dammit... Now I wanna go find and watch some digimon...

Go forth unto youtube. I spent the slow parts of the summer holidays watching it and it was time well spent. Season 3 I stopped caring, they just deemed to retcon everything and operated on a principle of "They find a baddy, they beat it" with no real "series" playing out, just a few scraps. Seriously, 6 episodes in and they've done NOTHING long term. Adventures had them handing the villian his ass within 10 episode, and non stop drama upto that.

I voted Digimon (Like you couldn't have guessed) for one simple reason.

Spoiler

Sure, Wizardmon was also a factor, but look at that guy. HE MAKES QUATERSTAFFS LOOK BADASS!

 

[logiman]

Digimon. no question about it

 

[UltraParanoia]

Neither.

I've never watched the pokemon tv show, I just had one of the gameboy games for when I was really bored.

 

[CuervoJoe]

I always found Digimon to be like a cheap version of pokemon.
If pokemon were Heinz baked beans, then digimon were the dodgy, watery 1p a tin beans.

Pokemon, cause it spawned stuff like this:

Pokemon. Why?
1. That show is still running.
2. The bond/friendship with pokemon was a lot more inspiring than digimon.
3. That show is still running.
4. The only pokemon who could really talk were legendaries...and Meowth.
5. Pokemon had better villians and plot driven stories in my opinion.
6. That show is still running.
7. I find it amusing that all these girls in pokemon are falling for Ash and he doesn't even notice. If it was me, I'd at least try something.
8. There is a finite number of pokemon...at least I hope there is because there can only be so many left by now...whereas digimon seemed to be endless.
9. When pokemon evolved, they at least looked a little bit like their previous form. Digimon on the other hand, well, Ty's digimon started out as a blob like thing and then when it "evolved" it was a dinosaur type thing. Pokemon, by contrast, when Ash's charmander evolved it still looked like a dragon/dinosaur all the way to Charizard.
10. Oh and THAT SHOW IS STILL RUNNING!

7. is my favorite one.

 

[NiceGurl_14]

POKEMON!!! You'll never catch em all. POKEMON!

Amen brah.

7. I find it amusing that all these girls in pokemon are falling for Ash and he doesn't even notice. If it was me, I'd at least try something.

Isn't Ash just ten years old?
Maybe that's why.

 

[tristow]

for me pokemon the games are more fun i still play them to this day
