Yeah, as I mentioned before, I always considered Tamers (also known as Digimon 3 here on Mexico) as some sort of reboot for the series. I think that the second season practically had the whole Earth with a Digimon companion. It would've been great to see this storyline continued, but a reboot made a lot more sense.Falko said:
And yeah, along with the first season, Tamers is my favorite season.
As much as I love pokemon, as a series it wasn't that good. Digimon was actually fun to watch and the story was written a hell of a lot better, and I wished I actually owned some of those digimon. The first two seasons were badass, and the movies were amazing.
Sorry pokemon, I still love you.

Digimon, far as the shows/movies go, where better over all, from plot to writing to content, the Digimon shows where just better
:/ to bad the games kinda sucked, best Digimon game was Digimon World 3 where as Pokemon games are consistantly good, so its a fair trade off imo
so yeah there ya go
Digimon = the better show
Pokemon = the better games

I love early pokemon, but those first two seasons of digimon blow it(Them?) out of the water.
As far as the games go...
I enjoyed both, but none of the sequels to Digimon World were very entertaining to me, whereas my inner child is screaming at me to buy black or white, despite the fact that they're just more pokemon games.
That kid has wasted so many hours of my life...

They had different demographics, so you can't make me choose!
Pokemon had much more repetitive and predictable tales, that generally ended in the same situation as they started. The good and bad sides are very clear, it's all very black and white. The villains are rarely taken particularly seriously.
Pokemon was tailored to quite young kids.
Digimon had long evolving story arcs, it introduced character conflicts and morally grey area. The evil the heroes have to face is generally a much more daunting form of impending doom.
Digimon was tailored to slightly older kids/early teens.

Digimon Tamers is one of, if not, the best youth animes out there. especially considering the fucked up, morally disturbing things going on in the season.
I say digimon for movies, and tv. The show was damn epic, and serious. I may netflix them now, that you reminded me of them. But why havent we had a good digimon, game? the content is there, so just make one. Who ever owns the rights hurry up lease.
Digimon kicks 52 levels of ass! anyone remember the name of that digimon that looked like a fat rabbit but with a fucking gun arm?
From what I remember of the shows, I have to say Digimon. I never saw the whole thing of the movie, so I can't compare it to the Pokemon movies (I think I saw six of them [don't judge, I was young!]). All I remember about the digimon movie is that the main characters got changed into kids and that a Smash Mouth song (remember 'em?) played at the end for some reason.
However, Digimon got really stupid when it had the kids that didn't have digimon, but had statues that enabled them to turn into digimon.

My favorite was Digimon Tamers.
I prefer digimon in general because:
- Mon's are intelligent, can talk, can reason, they have character to them. The character interactions and dialogues are MUCH more interesting that way. (unlike pokemon where we get pikapika that means EVERYTHING the plot requires)
- "trainers" (or whatever equivalent) take more of an active role in battle (in tamer: cards, biomerging)
- one digimon per human, so the narrative focus more on their interactions rather than spreading them around many (like pokemon with their 4+ PK per human)
-Digimon can switch between their "evolutions" (at least the ones with "partners") so i guess its a plus? More visual variety at least and add flexibility to the character's battle abilities.
- Digimon happens in the "real" world.. or at least interact with it. So we can use it as a point of reference. Weak digimon arent much of a threat to humanity, but mid-high levels ones are pretty much unstoppable. Human tech can influence the "digiworld", ect ect.
- Bad guys have (as far as i can remember) more coherent motivations, even if its just "destroy the world", some others are more complex.
- The themes in Digimon feel more "mature", but since im not too familiar with pokemon's themes i cant say for sure.
- Especially in Tamers, the story has less (nearly none with the D-reaper) of that "child-friendly" paint over it. Mon's dies, people get killed, Shit get serious. But for the first ones i think "power of friendship" still wins the day, but there are casualties iirc.
..As opposed to pokemon where everything is harmless and polite. Did any significant PK/human get killed in Pokemon?
