Digimon executed the "making friends with mons" far better than Pokemon

Pokemon is blatantly biased towards only shillmons and they constantly imply that only Pikachu, Eevee, Charizard and Lucario matter while the rest are just filler creatures with no importance to any lore ore story but Digimon gave the creatures more importance and the fact that the main characters aren't obsessed with 1 creature make them better written and developed.

the world-building is also better executed. You see all Digimons having some kind of role or utility, while Pokemon just poop new random pokemon to fill a real-life animal place for anime scenes.

It's sad that Pokemon actually attempted this in early seasons but all modern anime and games lost their identity while seeking to mimic Yo Kai Watch and even in the games like SWSH, most NPCs just talk about Charizard and nobody else. the world-building is non-existent, it's just centralized around what's selling to TPC and this is exactly why Pokemon lost its soul and identity and stopped being an actual Pokemon show, but just a Yo-Kai wannabe to appeal to the quirky zoomers.
