I always thought Digimon was a cheap and fast me-too cash-in on the whole Pokémans hype.

ya, tahts what everyone thought only because of the "mon" in the name. the two series were nothing alike. there was no catching digimon, no gyms, no trainers, or anything like that. though based towards kids to teens, the series was more serious, and had an actual plot other than going to battle other trainers and get gym badges.

But it had kids battling with monsters right? And those were tiny and cuddly, but could transform into fiercer, bigger beasts. Right? I dunno, that's what I gathered from the glimpses I glimpsed of the cartoons. I always thought the Digimon series looked horrible too. :p But that's just my humble opinion.

 

it was a little different... the digimon had been assigned to them, and only those 8 kids could have them. there were no other humans in the digimon world (well there was one other,) and when the digimon faught, the kids werent like "okay use water gun" or anything like that.

i do understand why at first it looks really similar tho lol :P

Ah.. oh so those Digimon were from a different world then? The plot thickens! :p Didn't even know that. Well I never really watched it, but still. I was really into Pokémon back when the first games came out and followed the tv series quite a lot. Always figured Digimon was some sort of Pokémon-clone franchise. Ah well.

Also, TV networks should be sued for breaking off a hideously popular series and then starting anew again at some random point earlier in the series! D:< Can't even begin to remember how many times they did that with Pokémon and Dragonball Z and the likes. Come on, after like 250 episodes, near some climax in the storyline you don't just go like 'oh you know what? Let's just go back to episode 17 and take it from there'. It's just wrong.
