Talk:Dialga vs NEO (Digimon Next)/@comment-26194911-20160619164021/@comment-24881970-20160712152727

Well, Pokemon have been similar to some shows, but nobody noticed because it started off as a video game and not many people knew about those other shows.

When Digimon popped up, everybody thought that because of the similar title and somewhat similar premise,(Children with animal like creatures go on an adventure), that Digimon had copied Pokemon.

And in someways, yes. They were similar.

The names, for one thing.

Pocket Monster, Digital Monsters.

Pokemon, Digimon.

Amazing creatures that can evolve.

Similar main characters, similar main rivals, and similar main females.

But other then that, they were NOT alike whatsoever.

Still, people continued to bash on Digimon because it was seen as a "Ripoff". I don't think Pokemon really thought so, because no arguements between the two franchises were ever made.

Of course, a LOT of Digimon ARE similar to Pokemon.

And same with Pokemon.

Mega Evolution? Really?

Hey, that Agumon guy looks ALOT like Charmander.

Hmmm.... Victini. A monster centered around the letter "V" and can use fire and electricity to fight when fully powered. I think I've seen that somewhere before...

A flower like monster that evolves from a tinier, flower that always is smiling?

Hmmm.....

So as you can see, there are TONS of similarities.

But there are also tons of differences.

Digimon decided to end their character's story arc and present us with an entirely new generation of characters. Pokemon does the same with their games, but not with their anime for some reason.

Pokemon is iconic for having some of the most stunning or most fun games in their generation, while Digimon was known for having one amazing season with Adventures, while everything else was shit.

Because of that, Digimon was long forgotten, until this year when the beautiful and fantastic Digimon Tri. came out, but so did the incredible action packed XYZ.

So now the rivalry is back, and people are fighting.

There have been several Digimon vs Pokemon fights. Some have been biased, some haven't. Here's some fights that are completely and utterly biased:

Gary Oak vs Yamato Ishida, Cacturne vs Togemon, BWG vs Mewtwo...

But there also some fights that are right.

Victini vs Veemon, Arceus for Zeedsomethingmon(I can't remember the name for the life of meXD), Renamon vs Lucario...

So, let's stop arguing.

Let's just admit that though Pokemon is much more popular and iconic, that Digimon is an amazing show too. So let people have their OPINIONS.

And never be biased again.
