In Digimon only selected few (digidestined) can get a Digimon and mainly only form partnerships. Pokemon's philosophy can work well in any form of media while Digimon can't. Which is why the Digimon games often are at odds with the show. Team building gameplay is more interesting gameplay loop than partnership.
>>50206998Digimon has only recieved one universally agreed upon attractive girl and that's pic related. Every other girl in the series is acquired taste. Primarily because more emphasis is placed on them being characters rather than women actively pine for.
And this is me saying this as someone who prefers Rika and Yolei.
