Although Dragonball is the best anime to have ever existed, I think Gus should have lost since he got a point for bringing the Jones soda.
I liked Pokemon when I was little, I found it ridiculous that in Digimon the monsters constantly shifted from one evolution to another. Call the 6 year old me retarded, but that was my thought process.

Pokemon VS Digimon Anime wise. Digimon wins this no contest. Much better story, character development and the show has a real ending (for season 1 and 2).
Pokemon, after what 4 regions and beating so many people, Ash is still 10 :/
Gotta love the Pokemon games though.

Should have been "Best Pop-Culture Anime".
Pokemon and Digimon(Which is actually not bad) don't represent the whole of anime any more than Call of Duty does the whole of video games.

Yeah...until you see said three anime in their original format and realize how butchered they were.martintox said:
OT:
That's always going to be a hard question, I think.
It's going to depend if you're into action/story/art/ect.
I LOVE Crest/Banner of the Stars...more so the light novels.
But Clannad is the only anime (I can think of) that's made be physically CRY.
However Soul Eater is one of the extremely FEW 'over 26 EPs' series I've enjoyed/finished'.
Digimon is better, by so many factors. First of all, an actual plot through each season. Relatable characters with real-like problems in the real world that the bring over into the digital world. A lot more emotion and mature themes than Pokemon which is the same procedural joke over and over. Digimon can actually be watched by adults without groaning, especially Season 3 and 4.
Season 4, Frontiers was my favourite season, I know an unlikely choice but it had the best storytelling and was the most adult. Using flash-forwards and flashbacks, time travel, tormented family drama, Digimons getting fucked up evolutions and almost killing the kids, it was the most emotional and inspirational season for me. "Home Again, Takuya Returns" was my favourite episode.
I still have an action figure from the 4th season (2002), even after being a medical student!

That's the point. the series is debate over pointless things, not intelligent discussion. No, don't expect to see Angel Egg here. The point is to debate over which is the best of two bad things, like which of the Green Lanturn's Weaknesses are the least stupid.TrippingBowser said:
Why is the debate between Pokemon and Digimon? Everyone will have an opinion on which anime series is the best. One could say one of the longer running anime series is the best, such as One Piece or Bleach. Some people, such as I, may say a finished series is best, such as Death Note, or Fullmetal Alchemist.
This isn't something one can debate, since there are few anime that many people will agree are complete shit, and the same goes for animes that many believe deserve their place of admiration.
Example of shit anime? Eiken.
Example of great anime? Death Note.
At least one person will disagree with me on those standpoints, but that's okay.

The best anime series would have to be a tie between Black Butler and Chobits. If you like action animes and haven't seen Black Butler, well, you're missing out. And Chobits is just sweet and adorable, as well as humorous.
I love how half the people posting cannot read the title of the show. This is, truly, a question with no right answer.
Well best anime ever is a stretch, but between poke and digi i say digi is the right answers but for better reasons. First at the end of every season Ash gets his ass handed to him. End of every digimon the team saves the world. they do tend to get their asses handed to them more than pokemon but in the end they just don't beat the bad guy, they fucking waste 'em. Also pokemon anime peaked around the 4th season then slowly died when it comes to fans while digimon peaked around season 3. Also Digimon can actually say they change things up by addin new characters with every season with a whole new story(except for the first 2 seasons where 2 was a direct sequel of 1) While pokemon we're still stuck with Ash ketchem who has to be at least the very least 16-17 in this but they just said he was 10. No way in hell did travel across 6-7 countries on foot in less than a year. And after a while you have to admit, you just get sick of seeing ash's face
Digimon? Pokemon? Puh-LEEZ! We all know what the best anime ever made REALLY was...
In all seriousness, though: you'd need to limit a number of variables. Target age demographics, release dates, whether they were licensed or localized for given audiences, etc. Simply saying Kids cartoon A vs Kids Cartoon B is nothing noteworthy, no more than a youtube video response war.
Are all No Right Answer reviews like this? This is a great concept, but the nature of this debate reminds me less of a well thought-out discussion of the merits of each show, and more like two of my buddies ranting in the basement after a night of partying.

I would have to say the best anime series I've run across are a very close tie between Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Baccano!
Baccano probably being one of my favorites of all time since I have seen it.
It's hard to pick between just Pokemon and Digimon because they seem to be more geared towards little kids and pushing merchandise.

On anime terms there is only one right answer.

Tegen Toppa Gurran F***ing Lagann.
and yes, there is a rule that you have to drop an F-bomb into the title whenever you say it.

The characters in digimon grew as characters as far as I saw, Pokemons protagonists are stuck in some strange time loop where age has no meaning and plot devices are recycled like used tissues.
Unappealing and tiresome.
Digimon is the superior ANIME. (Not game mind you, pokemon games are awesome)
