Hello one and all! Today we’re going to be discussion the various different aspects between two series compared very often.
Digimon (Digital Monsters), which was originally conceived as Tamagotchis in 1996. Over time, it was remolded and transformed into the Digimon anime in 1999.
and
Pokemon (Pocket Monsters), thought up by Satoshi Tajiri around 1989-1990. It ended up first appearing as duel games for the Game Boy in 1996. The first games saw release in the form of Red and Green in Japan, followed soon after by Blue.
Obviously, both have quite the following. Pokemon is known for the game series as well as its anime run starting in 1997. Digimon is primarily only known for its anime run which begun in 1999.
As such, there has been incredibly debate between the two for various similarities. Included in these are various character designs, themes, as well as names.
So where do you guys stand? Feel free to discuss and debate this topic peacefully. Personally speaking, I land on the Digimon side of the fence. Nothing against Pokemon, I just grew up with the former. =P
Have fun, guys! Just stick to the rules and whatnot, and enjoy!
