Posted by on 03.27.2011, 07:31 PM: Pokemon VS Digimon I did a search for Pokemon and Digimon and nothing came up. This surprises me. Nowadays I dislike them both, but I grew up on them both as well. The question is: Which one do you like more?

Posted by arren18 on 03.27.2011, 09:04 PM: Of the anime series, I very much enjoyed both, but I'd say Digimon was better, as it had stronger, firmer plots and serious antagonists. I feel nostalgic about both though.

Posted by Mush on 04.01.2011, 12:59 AM: I remember the early Pokemon episodes, like the first season, back when there were only 150 of them and there was something of a continuous story arc. They weren't so bad.

Posted by husky51 on 04.04.2011, 01:38 AM: I have to bow out of this discussion as I never remember seeing much of either of them..

Posted by Roarkiller on 04.14.2011, 02:53 AM: Pokemon. Because I am still very much involved with the tcg, and because I still believe that Pokemon 2000 is a very fine movie, or at least much better than the digimon movie, relatively.

Posted by Mush on 04.14.2011, 03:11 AM: I remember 2000! That was not half bad, nor was the first movie. But in my opinion, most of everything subsquently has been, well, trash...
|
Posted by arren18 on 04.14.2011, 05:29 AM: I should add that if I were considering the entire franchises, Pokemon would easily come out on top.

Posted by Theowne on 04.14.2011, 01:50 PM: I'm afraid that Pokemon is just too tightly wound up with my childhood for me to ever consider picking another. |
Posted by Saddletank on 04.14.2011, 02:31 PM: I have hazy memories of catching the odd few minutes here and there of some Pokemon in my youth and thinking, "Wow are these Japanese cartoons? Why is everyone just sliding stationary across the screen instead of being drawn moving?"
|
Posted by Mush on 04.14.2011, 04:01 PM: You're just picky, Saddles.

Posted by fenkashi on 04.15.2011, 12:34 AM: Pokemon 2000. I have fond memories of that (what kid that grew up around that time doesn't?) and I refuse to ruin them by watching it again.

Posted by Calforsale on 04.16.2011, 06:21 AM: Pokemon hands down
|
Posted by Animenewbie on 04.20.2011, 04:11 PM: I would go with digimon..BUT it was dubbed so, so, sooo terribly that it kind of ruined it. Also I found the beginning of digimon alot more interesting compared to pokemons beginning

Posted by mewgirl on 06.26.2011, 02:51 AM: To me i like both because they were both part of my childhood.i started to like it at a young age and i treasure the memories watching them. |
Posted by Farren on 07.12.2011, 05:35 AM: pokemon!!!

Posted by Nausicaa_Cat on 07.12.2011, 05:59 PM: I don't even feel that there is a doubt in my mind that Pokemon comes out on top. Having grown up adoring the show, collecting the cards, playing the games, I would say that it more than slightly formed a large portion of my interests as a child. I also actually think, opposed to Saddles, that it gave me a positive appreciation for Japanese animation. Though I didn't really understand at the time about anime and so on, shows like Pokemon and Cardcaptors gave me a love for that style of animation that has carried on until now! If Studio Ghibli was my gateway to other animes than Pokemon set me up for Studio Ghibli.

Posted by Mush on 07.16.2011, 10:22 PM: Oh yeah! Cardcaptors! I watched that show religiously whenever it was on. I don't think all the episodes ever made it across the Pacific though, because there were really wide gaps. I wanted a friend named Madison and I still pretend to be Sakura when I put on rollerblades, for some reason. But I think I saw Kiki's Delivery Service might have even predated that, although my memory is too fuzzy to know exactly for sure.

Posted by Roarkiller on 07.20.2011, 07:49 AM: I'm pretty sure all the CCS eps were released in english, just not in order. But they were edited so heavily that fans didn't call it the dub version; they called it the "bastardized" version.
|
Posted by Mush on 07.21.2011, 01:21 AM: Doesn't really bother me. I wonder where I could find the original ones then...
|
Posted by Miyako on 05.08.2013, 06:34 AM: I never watched Digimon. |
