Pokemon or Digimon? - Page 3

**All_That_Chaz** · 11-30-2010, 04:11 PM

If it wasn't for my own personal nostalgia factor, the battle with Red would put Gold/Silver over Red/Blue/Yellow for me. That was by far the best battle I've seen in any pokemon game. Ruby/Sapphire did have one thing going for it though - the elite 4 upgraded their pokemon after you beat them and screwed around a while. The second time through the elite 4 was actually pretty fun, but didn't have the cool factor of battling Red.

Pokemon in the good old days.

I prefer Pokemon to Digimon for the simple reason that I grew up with Pokemon and bought into the majority of the hype (well, my parents actually bought the stuff as I was only a kid :P). I've still got a soft spot for the series, and because of this, I will still buy the games when they bring out a new series/generation/whatever you want to call it of pokemon.

Pokemon all the way ..well up to the 2nd generation. 2nd Generation had a great amount of pokemon that were good. But Pokemon over time will just get worse and worse. I think if they DO make another Pokemon game, to let the fans make the pokemon designs.. as 3rd, 4th and 5th Gen were super pathetic. I've seen some great idea's on Deviant Art and so.
Digimon never seemed interesting to me.. It was like they were trying to copy Pokemon a bit. Idk.. Pokemon was much cuter, why I prefer it.

But in all seriousness the original Tv series was the best..The new show is really dumb. Plus the voice actors suck.. they should of kept the original. That's the reason why I stopped watching it, and why others did too most likely.

As far as the games I agree with Kommi, Gold was the peak of Pokemon. And it most likely will never reach that again.
I remember when like EVERY STORE had tons of pokemon merchandise such as Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, K-Mart, Macy's.. etc..
Now it's super challenging to find anything Pokemon .. The only places I know that carry a tad few bit of items are Toys R us and Target.

CMMTeddy II · 12-18-2010, 01:09 PM

**ichliebekase** · 12-18-2010, 01:13 PM

Digimon sucked. Had horrible theme music and bad characters.

Pokemon <3

Who can forget the awesome battlecries of Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander? *Squirtle Squirt* *Bulba Bulbasaur* *Charmander Char*

**ChrisReams** · 01-29-2011, 05:35 PM

This is no competition. Pokemon was the shitttt. I remember the day when holographics made me jizz. Oh, the simple life.

When I gave my brother my huge collection of Pokemon cards, I kept all of the holographic ones for myself so I could sell them when I was old ;]

What the ****? Pokemon 8)

**Staiain** · 01-29-2011, 05:48 PM

Pokemon is awesome, i still love it like i did as a kid 8)

**Velocity** · 01-29-2011, 06:20 PM

First Digimon movie was the best.

Red/Blue/Yellow = Complete with 151 caught. (<3 Mew Glitch)
Gold/Silver/Crystal = Complete
Sapphire = Complete pokedex and 350 hours
Pearl/Platinum = Complete pokedex and 500 hours total
Black/White = wtf are these things...

I still own every portable Pokemon game in English. So Pokemon gets my vote.

Agreed and I still enjoyed Digimon but it wasn't even near as good as Pokemon

ddrxero64 · 01-29-2011, 06:49 PM

Definitely pokemon. I've been a pokemon geek since it started (still kinda am), and after countless hours spent on the games it's definitely better than digimon. I have played digimon though (world 3 for ps1) and it's a good game, but not as good as pokemon.

One example of my extreme love for pokemon from back in the day was playing pokemon blue (3 years after it came out) and stopping at the entrance of Mt.Moon. I would enter mt.moon and catch zubat, geodude, and clefairy. then I would come back out of the entrance and train in the patch of of grass right below. The crazy part is I'd train every pokemon I had to level 20 (even the magikarp) before I continued to cerulean, and the pokemon I battled were only level 9 at highest. I had 11 pokemon trained to level 20 (I think that would be 20 pokemon in my pokedex without getting past Mt.Moon). Took about 2 days.

Talk about extreme preparation huh? xD

**All_That_Chaz** · 01-30-2011, 01:16 AM

Yeah dude pokemon came way before digimon. Digimon is the rip-off. wtg.

**The5thMoon** · 01-30-2011, 12:52 PM

Digimon is actually a ripoff of Tamagotchi. They are those little key chain "pets" that you could take care of.

They definitely capitalized on the success of Pokemon with the movies and TV shows, but they do make sense on their own, and they never really copied the "Gotta Catch 'Em All" format of Pokemon that others, like Monster Rancher, did.

**PrawnSkunk** · 01-30-2011, 01:19 PM

I've caught two shinies in ruby (not glitched, just by chance) so Pokemon has my vote.
