>>33761256Digimon was cool imo, but despite the lyrics of the song "hey digimon", it mostly appealed to boys more than girls.
Pokemon has just enough charm for both boys and girls.
Digimon designs can get a little over the top.
Missiles n' shit are cool, but it's weird when it comes out of kneecaps, toes, forehead, etc.
Digimon had sexy waifus, but pokemon eventually caught onto that niche
Pokemon games are less convoluted.
Stat builds/breeding is longwinded and annoying at times, but it's optional to get into.
There are more color palette swaps of digimon than pokemon so it feels less redundant.
Digimon anime was funnier than pokemon, but games make more money than animation.
