……Okay if you insist for the record I love BOTH Pokemon and Digimon and the Pokemon games are better but this is about the creature and shows. but I’ll say the 3 main reasons why I like Digimon better *cracks fingers*
1) You don’t have to FORCE your Digimon to like you
they already have formed a bond with you and will protect you to the end. Hell you can have full conversations with your Digimon. Besides your starters you get Pokemon by BEATING, DAMAGING, AND INJURING THEM to the point they cannot fight back
and then you catch them and force them to be yours so you can make them fight like Michael Vick.
2) Digimon dont stay transformed: When a pokemon evolves unless its a Mega Evolution they are stuck like that. What if I prefer Charmander over Charmeleon huh lol But when Digimon Digivolve they can go to whatever form and stay in it for as long as they have energy.
and
3) You can fuse with your Digimon and get in on the Action: For pokemon you are telling them to attack, for digimon they do it on their own and when its tough you could be like. Hey lemme get in on the action.
and Kickass as True Partners.
I’m gonna add to this list.
4) Digimon can have more than one digivolution tree, and thus allows for much more customization than pokemon. Where as Bulbasaur will always evolve into Ivysaur (or you could stop him) Greymon can evolve into Skullgreymon, Metalgreymon (virus) or Metalgreymon (vaccine) all of which are more or less different digimon (less so between the mteal greymons).
Furthermore, digimon can DNA digivolve with each other. So you can have Exveemon DNA digivolve into Dinobeemon or Palindramon both of which have (also) separate digivolution trees.
5) Digimon can talk. I’m sorry but something I really dislike about pokemon is that they can only say their own names. It’s nothing against the series or the games but I really like that digimon can convey their own feelings and thoughts and ideas.
6) Digimon, when killed, revert to an egg form to be reborn. Pokemon either faint or die (the pokemon tower in Lavender Town) and when it happens in Digimon it’s a huge big deal so it makes Tamers take care of their Digimon instead of mindlessly fighting.
7) The plot of most of the Digimon series is to save the digital world, and because of that the fighting is justified. In pokemon, the fighting and arguably torture of pokemon is only to amuse people (literally to get badges for the trainer or money or contests). One problem I really have with pokemon is that I feel they’re more or less enslaved rather than partnered up.
I like those so I’m rebloggin 🙂
I might give Digimon another shot, actually. Haven’t watched it since the first season way back when I was little.
