>>53437332When it's being serious, Digimon takes itself way more seriously than Pokemon. When it's being edgy, Digimon gets way edgier than Pokemon. When it's engaging in self-parody, Digimon is way sillier than Pokemon. When it sets out to develop a cast of characters, Digimon is way better at character building than Pokemon. When it bothers with worldbuilding, Digimon is way better at worldbuilding that Pokemon. Basically Digimon is Pokemon with all the dials turned way up. That's why, for example, the standard evolution chain has five rungs in it (not counting newborn babies) for Digimon while Pokemon has never strayed farther than three. Or why Digimon has played the "monster so powerful that it threatens to destroy the universe/multiverse erely by existing" card like five times, whereas Pokemon has done that like twice.
