Digimon would require a massive nerfing to be on the same playing field, and are far more intelligent. It's likely that either the Digimon would completely overwhelm the pokemon side of the equation, to the point where Digimon started becoming trainers themselves, or else the nerf-bat would utterly break apart the Digimon universe.
Thematically, Digimon would cross with SMT far, far better than Pokemon.
SMT is a very flexible franchise, so could also probably handle a Pokemon crossover, but it would be far less equal than SMT/Digimon.
