>>48503101I don't know, in the end it's not really fair comparing either one.
>>48503053I don't know much about digimon past "they're like Pokemon but instead they're individual programs" so that's news to me.
>>48503030Poor wording, my bad. I meant that they are separate programs that, while they can interact with eachother on a basic level, they can't do much else to eachother. They also can't leave the machine they're on, last I checked.
Porygon, on the other hand, not only can leave the machine it's "infected", but also counts as code itself, meaning it can maliciously self insert itself into other running programs.
This analogy makes slightly more sense if you consider this to be something like multi-tasking DOS in the 90s. Bad security systems everywhere, programs can easily override eachother, and the main difference is that digimon are designed to interact with eachother with limitations in a final large program, Porygon is a program designed to do whatever the hell it pleases.
