>>36850466> but the permanent evolution (reflecting growing up like irl) is what has made Pokemon so popular while Digimon is literally irrelevant and convolutedYes it's Evolution not marketing or making the designs of the monsters dumbed down on purpose to sell better or hell, Selling Two games with the effort of 1 and the obligatory updated version a year or two or later, or the fact that Pokemon are designed to be collectable, and prior to GTS you needed someone else or another GameBoy and game or a friend to agree on trading terms to complete the Dex, making impressional kids to make their parents buy both titles, it's clearly Evolution, It's not bias at all because SMT/Persona is a fusion clusterfuck and who's even heard of Persona amirite?
