>>31985527Let me clear something up super quick.
If you want to compare the two franchises and pick which one you like better, that's fine. That makes sense. If you want to compare the things they do and evaluate what you think each one does better than the other, or why you like one more, that's fine.
To compare them and say one is objectively better than the other is bullshit. To say there's some grand competition going on and one franchise can be declared the "winner" is bullshit.
The free market is not a competition. It's an environment where you fight for survival. And in that sense, Digimon and Pokemon are both "winning" because they haven't died yet, whereas something like Monster Rancher is dead because it hasn't had a game in six years and there's not enough interest, nostalgic or otherwise, to bring it back.
