Actually. They both started around the same in 1995 so there was no way either could have been copied off each other, at least at the start.

isnt Digimon started around 1999 or 1998? And pokemon started around 1995

The car is kinda creepy o___o I think pikachu is really cute, but the car...


Never played Megaman, only watch my brother play the games. o-o Never got into it.

As for Pokemon VS Digmon:

Wiki says they both started in 1995, but not sure how accurate that is. Other says Pokemon came out in 1996 and Digimon in 1997 or 1996.

Digimon started off as those pets like Tamagotchi's and Pokemon started off as Gameboy games.

Digimon the anime started in 1999 apparently, and Pokemon the anime started in 1997.

I personally don't consider them copies of each other regardless of what came first. I liked them both when they were both airing (in the case of Digimon, when it first aired in the US). *shrugs* Though, preferred season 1 and 2 of Digimon anime, but Pokemon games (card game and video game) were better overall for me. Have to say though, don't like either of the newer seasons and don't play games of either now, but occasionally, I get an urge to play a Pokemon game.

I saw digimon before I saw pokemon so maybe that's why but the new digimons are really crappy. I never liked the pokemon shows that much after the original series. Didn't like the orange island ones. I play pokemon games because they are really fun RPGs to play :D

I saw Pokemon first, I ended up preferring Digimon eventually (I had watched both though back then), haha.

And yeah, Digimon just went weirder and weirder with each season o___O And Pokemon pretty much stayed the same, with each season, just different girls and different pokemon. @_@ I haven't watched either of the new ones, but from just the things I've read and stumbled upon while browsing the Internet, that's what I've noticed.

Silver was the first and last Pokemon game I really got into. Not sure why, maybe because I did it once already, and it was fun, but I'm not willing to do it again. With other games, I more willing to do that, but I couldn't do that with Pokemon. Maybe it's because I don't own my own DS. *shrugs*

I like Silver the most because the later ones I don't like as much especially Pearl and Diamond (no offense but the Pokemon there aren't as original I mean Bidoof seriously) Plus you got to fight 16 gyms in Silver and Lugia was awesome :D Red was easy but the Elite Four was too easy for my tastes even if it was only a half way mark for the game.

I love Season 1 of Digimon. I love Season 2 too! I dunno. Just... something about those kids and... idk... ._. Season 3 wasn't bad. In terms of balance, Season 3 of Digimon was probably the best. I didn't like Season 2 because Ken and Davis got like... a bajillion and a half digivolutions and the other people only got like.... 5. >_> Overpowered and BORING much? -.-

I hated Season 4 digimon. Season 5 isn't much better. Only up to episode 7 or something.


Same. The human-digimon connection was just a lot more interesting than Ash and Pikachu. :sigh:[/QUOTE]

QFT.

I think it's stupid that Ash gets a new team every time he goes to a new place. Except for Pikachu. And... I... don't like Pikachu. >_> Overpowered little rat. My favorite episode is still the Bulbasaur one where Bulbasaur refuses to evolve into Ivysaur and then he saves the day.

I haven't played any of the DS ones because the Pokemon are getting seriously unoriginal. :sigh: But I have to say, Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire were really fun. Especially Emerald.

I played those on my computer too so I could trade with myself and get a completed Pokedex (more or less). Haha. Battle Island was really fun. o-o

Yeah, didn't like how the leader guy and his rival always got so many evolutions either. @_@ I agree, Season 3 wasn't bad, didn't like Season 4 (the whole becoming digimon thing, I just didn't like) and Season 5 is just... I don't know, but I saw a giant Agumon with gloves and I just knew before I read the plot summary that I wouldn't like it. D:

That episode (the Bulbasaur one) made me cry I think, xD Or was that a different episode... I don't know, I cried easily back then D:

I started a Sapphire file, and then I left it alone. xD I played all mine on the computer too... But there were times,while waiting idly on my campus or something, I wish I had a DS to occupied my mind.

Is it this one? This is the one I'm talking about... I couldn't find an episode online. Dx

I.... kind of don't like Season 5... >_>

One of the Digimon Trainers seems really... incompetent. I don't think she's won a battle yet. And the main one is... kind of annoying... >_>

And the Agumon doesn't wear gloves but the dog thingy does...

Oh, I might be thinking of the Aguman in the first comic then... Well, in any case, I saw Aguman giant, and I didn't like it. D: He's suppose to be small and cute~ <3

As for the rest of Season 5, I don't know anything about it. I read the plot summary once and saw maybe 10 minutes of Ep. 1.

As for the Pokemon episode, I know which one you are talking about. I just don't remember if that was an episode I shed some tears too. Might have been an older one... With a different pokemon.
