I loved the series both as a kid and as a late-game teenager, and vastly preferred it over Pokemon.
The American Digimon movie was not well made, being a combination of three vastly different movies, but I do suggest watching the original short film that spawned the series and Our War Game, the first full-length movie that is, as discernible from the title, an adaptation of WarGames (no joke). It was directed by Mamoru Hosoda, who directed the award-winning The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars movies.

Quoted for Truth. The series bombed at Season 4 and Season 5 never really recovered the original three's magic. Also the Americanization of 5 was a tragedy.zala-taichou said:A couple of months ago I started watching Digimon again. Quit rather soon though. Digimon was better than Pokémon story-wise, so I really got into it for the first few seasons. After that, it got kinda stale.
