Title: Digimon vs Pokemon
Post by: Drace on July 13, 2005, 03:51:54 PM

Which do you like better and why?
Personally, I like Digimon better because it has a better plot and not the 'bad guys get blown away' part.

Digimon had a good first season and the rest were okay Pokemon after the first season thing got really stupid

Digimon actually kill eachother and become really tough and vicous, Pokemon only make eachother faint and are all cute n' cuddly, it sickens me!

Go Digimon!!!

Digimon dosn't have a better plot. for the simpal fact that pokemon hasn;'t had a plot ever. No story, no story line, no background story, guess waht, if you liked pokemon in the 90s,i got sad news for you: times have changed.

Watch your mouth!  God is watching you.  Digimon World 2 is the most retardedly built and shoddily programmed game I've ever seen.  A horrible attempt at an RPG-style Digimon game.

As for what Smo said when we were little kids, yes, that was effin hilarious.  I remember when I kept saying "So which Pokemon would you have sex with?" and you were like "David, shut up you sick boy."

Good times.

Post by: Grandy on July 14, 2005, 03:36:42 PM

Pokemon - Good beggining, getting worse, worse, worse, a little better, worse, better, worse, better, then now that Misty is gone is good again (not that I didn't like Misty, but it needed some changes) I like the new idea of Pokemons with PERSONALITIES, beetwen the 2nd and this season that I already lost hte count, it wasn't "Pokemon", it was a bunch of epsodes were Ash screan "Pikachu! ThunderShok!" and the world is in peace again. In the new epsodes, at least the Pokemon(s) par ticipate a little more.

 Digimon -
1st - Great
2nd - Good
3th - So-So
4th - Meh

 "Humans can turn in digimons" is a BAD idea.

 Yu-Gi-Oh - In the words of someone:
 Theres a problem in changing from Manga to a Anime, because the fight scenes will be too few, the solution is to make they talk more, because, when they do, they won't fight. Noticing that, they made a test with an Anime where they talk about what they'll do in the whole epsiode, in the next one they do, and it worked, they proved people are willing(spelt?) to sit down and hear to someone talking. The nest step will be a program with the stand picture of someone, and a voice in the background reading a Dictionary.

 Okay, those aren't the REAL words, but he said something like that. I agree.

Yugi -Kaiba, I'll use now my Celtic Guardian!
Kaiba -Are you sure, Yugi?
Yugi -What you mean 'Are you sure?'
Kaiba -I'm aking you if you're really sure you want to do that move.
Joe Willer (who isn't even playing, but thinks he has the right to talk as well) -He's lying Yugi, theres nothing he can do!
Kaiba -Shut up, Willer.
Yugi -I must trust in my friends and in my un-animated deck in what I believe has a soul or something and can shift cards ,to make me choose the right one, I play my Celtic Guardian!
Kaiba -I use my trap card The Horrorific Horror of the Horroric Subworld of Horror! Say goodbye to your card!
Yugi -Noooo!
Tea -Noooo! Yugi!
Willer -Arrh!
Tristan (doesn't even know whats happening)- Noo!
Grandpa -Yugi, use the card I gave you!
Yugi -Which one? You gave me the entire deck!
Grandpa -You know, the Card!
Kaiba -My turn, then, I summon my Ghost Clown of Charas! Since he has many powers, that I will tell you so you can think in a way to counter-attack, I can strike first!
Yugi -Ahh!
(Points - 200)
Kaiba - Your turn.
*Yugi starts to think with himself and his otherself for 15 minutes of "how I'll beat him", and notices that theres only one card that can save him in the whole world, and luckly, he has one, and, luckly, its the one he gets*
Yugi -Kaiba, you really thought you won? I use the power of the Cristal Necklace of 1337 Ressurection to bring back my celtic guardian, then I kill him again (Celtic Guardian: Uh?) and summon my almighty-mighty-mighty monster! The Mage of West Bilgu-Bilgu!
Willer -Yeah, Go Yugi!
Yugi -Shut up, Willer!
Kaiba -Oh, no!
Yugi -Mage of West Bilgu-Bilgu, use your special ability to bring back Celtiv Guardian, then I sacrifice him again (Celtic G - WTF?!) and use my other magic card to make the Mage of West B-B even stronger! Attack, Mage of West Bilgu-Bilgu!
tMoWB-B - *uses something that looks like a big Hadouken*
--End of the episode--

 See what I mean?

Grandy, that was about the most hilarious thing ever.  The sad thing is, that's almost exactly like one of the episodes.  Where Yugi fights that creepy ghost Kaiba.

 I was almost writing 3 apisodes, but then I thought it was too much ^_^
 Just change the monsters and you have a new episode, they do the same thing all the time.

 EDIT: Its late, I have nothing to do, and I'm not sleepy. That means I'll actually write a little more of You-Guy-Ouch!.

 --In the next Epsiode--
 tMoWB-B: *still attacks*
 *The cave where they are (Yes, they are in a cave, don't ask me why, but they aways do, or in a high place) starts to shake*
 Kaiba: *blinks* (he does nothing, only blink or talk as how he will finish you in the next time)
 Joe: How's that possible?
 Kaiba & Yugi: Shut up, Willer!
 Joe: No, really, I mean, its just an hologram, how can a hologram make things shake?
 *No one pays attention*
 Yugi: Kaiba, you only have now 100 points, give up!
 Kaiba: Oh, but I use my special card: Curaga! And when I use this card togeter with the power of my White Mage, my points will go really up!
 Yugi: Its 300 points now...
 Kaiba: More than you.
 Yugi: Point. But I still have my Mage of West Bilgu-Bilgu!
 Kaiba: Not anymore, Yugi, for I use the power of my card, the Destroyer of Mages of West Bilgu-Bilgu! Say goodbye to your Mage of West Bilgu-Bilgu, Yugi!
(Everyone else: Nooo!)
 Yugi: Not so fast! *points finger to Kaiba while talks* I activate my trap, the Destroyer of Destroyers of Mages of West Bilgu-Bilgu!
(Everyone else: Yay!)
 Kaiba: Fufufu (is like THIS how they laught in there? Strange country), Yugi, you make me laugh, I use my other card, the Destroyer of Counter-Magic Anti-Destroyer of Mages of West Bilgu-Bilgu!
(Everyone else: Nooo!)
 Yugi: But I use my other card, the Compass of No-Where! It turns my Mage of West Bilgu-Bilgu in a Mage of NORTH-WEST Bilgu-Bilgu!
(Everyone else: Yay!)
 Kaiba: Well, I use my other card, the Kill-All-Enemy-Monters! It kill all your monsters!
 Joe: Why he didn't used that in first place?
 Everyone else: Shut up, Willer!
 Yugi: Now that my Mage of North-West Bilgu-Bilgu is dead, I can bring back my Celtic Guardian! Now, I sacrifice my Celtic Guardian! (CG: *sweat drop*) to allow me to bring back the Celtic Guardian! (WTH?! What was I smoking when I wrote this? Seriously, this got me as well.) Attack, Celtic Guardian!
 Kaiba: My monster is stronger....
 *Celtic Guardian dies*
 Yugi: I know I just didn't like that guy.

Hahaha. The first season of Digimon was great. I just wish the last battle was more epic. Killing the last enemy in one episode was really a turn off. BUt I liked it anyway.

Pokemon... meh, the games are emotionless and just play drab, there is no real raising, it's just catch, blah and blah... not even worth the RPG title, and it hasn't changed. Still the same old crap with the boring diologues and the same fighting gym masters... COME ON, how meaningless can a kid's life be? Where's the struggle!? Where's the emotion!? Why am I yelling these questions!?

The advantage Digimon has over Pokemon is visual effects and somewhat better character design, they are struggling for their life and the Digimon, against the Pokemon, have more personality and actually talk instead of repeating their name like an idiot. The other advantage that Digimon has is that things have a certain mortality, they can die instead of being beaten and pass out. And as mentioned, the characters' lives are at stake, not just some retarded tournament. And as a bonus in Digimon you can digivolve but they can change back easily instead of just staying stuck in one form, and each form has it's own uniqueness. Plus names in Digimon have more complexity. In digimon the names tend to be more kiddy, simplistic, and overall lack creativity.

Now the rarely mentioned third title, Demikids. The reason this game is a turn off for some is for religous reasons... but it's a rather grat game, instead of stupidly named monsters you have more familiar creatures, like Cockatrice and Anubis, and even the angel Michael! In Demikids you speak with demons to get them to join you, you have a Demonary (Data on demons who join and who you've fought) as well as storage for demons when you get too many.

The ways of making demons stronger is a tad complicated and pricey if you want to use the time trainers, who are most reliable. Btw, Demon in the Megaten series is anything that isn't from the human realm and isn't exactly human. This even includes dragons and other such beasties.

As for the story, it revolves around time and rips in time space, and ultimately there is a final boss and I thing alternate endings. The struggle is to stop the rips and stay alive. Also you at a point lose touch with your friends and they eventually end up in the clutches of the Empire (bad guys).

Enough yap though. Out of the three, I'd definetly say Demikids (Digital Devil Children in Japan) is quite better. And for those more adult gamers there's the Shin Megami Tensei series, where people and demons get slaughtered, and blood gets shed. Thet are all Megaten btw and are all by Atlus.

 I don't think the name is complex in both cases. In Digimon, if youre a rock, you're the Rockmon or Stonemon, in Pokemon, if you're a rock, you won't have a name until you yell it out loud to everyone next to you. Its the pokemone who repeat theyr names or theyr names was give by the way they repeat?

Digimon VS Pokemon eh? I dislike both, but I'd say Digimon. Pokemon was a good game, the first one. Then they screwed up and made so many friggen versions with no change in the plot....I don't even think they have a plot for it. What the heck is up with that crap? Digimon has changed plots to it's games I believe. so yea.....there.

DF, I give you an A+ on that report!  Now just tell me what platform Demi Kids is for...unless this is a show...and if so, what channels does it come on and when?  This sounds awesome.

I think you hold many points there and I agree.  

"In digimon the names tend to be more kiddy, simplistic, and overall lack creativity."

I think you meant "In Pokemon..."  Iunno, it would just seem odd that you say Digimon names are complex, then say they are a lack of creativity.

I had actually forgotten how much I liked Digimon.  I really only liked Season 1, but 02 was okay.  They should have just stopped there so we could keep the good Show like it was.

the pokemon games are like The Bouncer.  No matter how many glitches, annoyances, plotholes, or things left out, or reasons to complain, you can't help but be addicted.  Like cocaine :)

I'd have to say Digimon, for the same reasons as have been said before. Besides, I was hooked for a long time on Digimon World (The first one).

And Grandy, you seriously have to carry that on.

Still digimon was alot a better than pokemon will ever be

Yeah, I did mean to say Pokemon, as for Demikids, it was released on GBA in the US. Though Devil Children Black book and Red Book for GBC werenot released outside Japan.

But yes, it is GBA, and has quite a bunch of interesting mythical beasties, only not as big and ugly as they appear in the more mature level counterpart.

I prefer Digimon (specially the first one) than pokemon. Pokemon is a really false program. I have a list of 150 reasons of why pokemon is trash(not that i hate it, but it's true). At least in digimon they have regular schools, and in pokemon the only schools they have teach attacks and that stuff. How can they have books and all that stuff if they don't even learn to write and read?
The pokemon centers cure the pokemons, but is there any hospital for humans?
In the game, there was a graveyard tower for pokemons, but what happened to the humans?
If the team rocket want to steal Pikachu, why don't they get a pistol and kill him?
Who would ride a burning horse?
Since when the fish transform in octopuses when they grow?
didn't the evolution happen in thousand of years, as Darwin said?
Haven't you noticed that, in some episodes, Broock have a lot of big kitchen utensils, but his bag is smaller than them?
the names are becoming more stupid as more pokemon appear. Compare Pikachu(original) with Meditite(stupid)
Why would elephants, rocks, cats and dogs come from eggs?
They are mutants when they evold. Machoke get 2 more arms, a fish evolves to an octopus, Doduo gets another head, etc.
No one makes stronger and bigger by eating candies or being touched with a rock.

Well, I have more reasons than that ones, but I'm not posting them. they are 150, but in spanish.

In other words, I prefer digimon.

hehe thats a long list you have there dash...

Digimon is since long GONE still they sell the spoils of the Digimon fan season.. IT only took like 1 year for it to die in sweden... mainly cuz it s***ed and it was a 100% copy of Pokemon...
the reason that they don't go in a "normal" school is cuz they are not on the planet E-A-R-T-H... they are on the isle Kanto (can't belive I remembered that)
Pokemons comes from eggs cuz they are pokemons, not animals...
About Brocks bag... It's a manga.. Anything is possible...
Pokemon Graveyard(house) :p that was indeed a strange Idea.. Humans was
They "evolve" they are not suposed to look the same after that, so what is Machamp have 2 arms to many...
pobably burried in a "Graveyard"
And so on...

Personaly I liked Pokemon better... but only the first season... the new ones are teh s*ckiest (there are over 400 pokemons I think... chuks!)

I have problems about the pokemon too. The first 150 were no problem, the others 100 were not much, but when other 100 appeares I wanted to kill the creator! In order to get all pokemons you need to buy ALL the games of GB/C/A. Isn't that annoying? Btw, my brother read on a magazine(don't know if it's true) that digimon released something, can't remember what) and that pokemon appeared after that. And about the reason of being a manga, I already said that pokemon had many weird things, so I made the list. I know that in mangas everything is posible, I'm just comparing it with real life. Like this: Who would take a wild animal without knowing if it is sick?
Isn't it illegal transport of animals if you capture one in a place and go to another one without it? Or exchanging a Mewtwo to a newer game?
And who would name his son Ash? Is that what her mother want him to end?
What happened to his father?
What do the parents of the trainers let them leave their house when they have 10 years while in real life some won't leave until they have more than 25 years?
Why would Ash go with the first person he met (Broock, Misty, the photographer, the new ones, Tracy or however he is called(i call him crazy)) without knowing if he is a drug seller or a criminal?
Are they blind? the team rocket, let's say, James. He puts only a mustache(for example) and Ash don't know who he is. Or Jessie, or however it is spelled. She puts a costume and they don't know who is her, even if she doen's hide her face or the exagerated hair?

Remember, just comparing with real life, and my list is much longer than this.

i got more enjoyment from playing the pokemon games (whats with the digimon game where everything craps all over the place, then there is one that eats it :(  ) however the collecting pokemon got VERY tedious. as for the anime/manga its digimon all the way, better story, and all of the 50 other things that have been mentioned before.

Digimon>Pokemon

I hate to say this...but the answer to this question is as follows: Both suck badly because the dubbers did a bad job on dubbing! Has anyone seen Episode 13 of Digimon Season 2? I saw it in both English and Japanese (with subtitles). Let me tell you, Saban took out every line of the show and replaced it with their own lines. Not a SINGLE LINE was the same.

Also, has anyone seen a Japanese episode of anything that 4KIDS has done? I hear they cut up Pokémon horribly. I saw a new anime that 4KIDS has released, which is called Mew Mew Power. I LOVED the show, but I'll never watch it again, not after seeing the Japanese Tokyo Mew Mew. The names are different, the plots are different, and ALL the lines are different.

Needless to say, I would take a Japanese sub of a show anyday, rather then watch an English dub. Too bad Full Metal Alchemist got dubbed by Funimation, and none of the others did. Seriously, has anyone seen how well Funimation does on their anime? I LOVED the Funimation episodes of FMA! They are ALMOST EXACTLY the way they are in Japanese. They even got the voices almost the same!

Anyway...that's beside the point...to say it plain and clear...ENGLISH DUBS STINK!!! But...if I HAD to pick one of these shows done by English Dub, the answer would DEFINETELY be Digimon. -notes that 4KIDS chopped up all the Pokémon movies as well-

EDIT: I forgot to say one thing. Out of all the Digimon Seasons, I liked Frontier the best. All you English Dub watchers would only know it as "Digimon Season 4"...unless someone told you its real name o.o

I LOVED the turning humans into Digimon thing. Ever since I started watching Digimon, I had ALWAYS hoped they would do something like that, because I liked that idea. When I saw Frontier, I fell head over heels. I LOVED that season the best. However...I don't want to see Digimon Colliseum (sp?) AKA Season 5. The X Digimont hing was cool in the Digimon X-Evolution movie...but it's stupid in the series v.v

Yeah, right, man, I agree! I thought 150 was cool, but then there was 250...now there's freakin' 386! They added WAY too many! I was talking with my buddy just the other day, in fact! It was funny! Here's our conversation:

Me: You know...what are they going to do now? They have 386 Pokémon. What's next? A Pokémon game with 500 Pokémon where you have to catch 'em all?
Buddy: If they make a game like that, I'm not going to be happy. I mean, you have to catch 500 Pokémon? That would stink!
Me: I agree...I hope Pokémon dies during it's Advanced Challenge season.

Also, THEY GOT RID OF MISTY!!! I liked Misty...bringing in the dimwad squad (May and Max) was stupid >< THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT MISTY!!!

EDIT: Note: I edited the typo in Asakura's post ^^"

I never played any of the Digimon games, but I used to watch the show when I was younger. I also watched Poke'mon at about the same time. I can't say I liked either over the other, but I think Digimon had cooler monsters (blackwargreymon was my favorite, even if he was terribly cliche'), while Poke'mon was more... how do I put it, kid-friendly. I'd say they're about the same, it depends on your likes and dislikes.

Liking a Japanese verson is one thing, but too many people start disrespecting people who like the dub once they've seen it.  I do not tolerate that garbage.  In fact on most message boards of these two animes, it is almost ENCOURAGED, to flame and disrespect members who like the dub.  I say, so the hell what?  It's not Saban's fault that it was changed because of our stupid American censors.  And no, Saban did not change much in Digimon.  Anything you hear about what is changed in animes is 98% bullshit.  And yes, I used a percentage.  They cut small, 5 minutes out of every show just to fit it to the American show schedule.  So if anything that has to be cut out by censors anyway gets cut, it's because they're being efficient.

And people act like what gets cut is so HORRIBLE and a disgrace to the anime.  What's a disgrace is flamers who believe this so blindly that they make other people feel inferior so that they can keep loving their little "show".  Let me tell you, I've seen some animes subtitled (like Dragonball Z movies) and they suck.  S.U.C.K. suck.  that's my opinion, but unlike these people on those message boards, I don't go saying that to everyone and flaming them if they like the Japanese version.

I already posted 2 times, but my ideas are still in my head. Pokemon is much predictable, if you ask me.

1.-The team rocket appear to cause trouble
2.-Pikachu send them flying with a thunder attack that, when strikes any other pokemon, there is no explosion.
3.-The TR send a pokemon that always attack it's owner
4.-Ash lose in the really known leagues(he lost the first one and will lose the new one, my brother found images of that) by a person who have never appeared before on the program.
5.-They lose their way for every single thing that happens on the way(dugtrio and diglet, ancient pokemons, togepi, team rocket, a tower with a giant Dragonite, Team rocket again, a place with afraid pidgeys and pidgeottos, TR again, etc...Tr again)

And the game is almost the same:
1.-you will be attacked by the first person who see you, just like in GTA SA.
2.-Why would anyone want to have a rock or magnet like a pet?

Heh. While we're having a go at pokemon, what's with Ash doing well in major tournaments, defeating evil crime syndicates, and then having trouble against the puniest of wild monsters as soon as he goes to another continent?!?
