Wow, you are ignorant and immature. Wow, I just noticed that you are 10. That explains a lot.
What you can't seem to get through your head is that DIGIMON CAME BEFORE POKEMON! Therefore, according to your logic, Pokemon is a rip off of Digimon, no?

They are both completely different, I don't care what you say, they are different. Neither is a rip off of either, so don't continue to say so, even though I can almost bet money that your next post is going to be saying something about how Digimon is a rip off of Pokemon, but hey, I tried...
 
Not an idea.Digimon did come out first in Japan.Pokemon came out later in Japan and
was still more successful.Because of this,America requested Pokemon,and that is how
it got in America first.Digimon came out later in America.
 
I don't believe Digimon is a rip off of Pokemon at all. Talking show wise, Season 1 and 2 were more of 'kids have pet digimon...digimon evolve and kick bad buy butt' I suppose you could sort of relate this to pokemon, but the big difference is that Digimon actually interact with things a lot more than Pokemon, and they're not caught and stuffed into little balls.

But when you get to Season 3, Digimon Frontier, you see a big change. No longer do the kids get Digimon friends to help save the DigiWorld, they find the Legendary Digi Spirits and evolve with them, to form human/digimon forms, etc. As for Season 4, Digimon Tamers, it sort of goes back to what 1 and 2 was, the 'Tamers' have Digimon companions, that use their Digivices to use attacks. I dont know anything of the new Digimon season, so I can't really comment on that.

Just to say that Digimon is a rip off of Pokemon is kind of harsh, you should really look into the series before planting a bold statement like that across it. From a far look, you might think that it's the same old Pokemon ploy, catch a monster, use them to fight..but really they befriend Digital monsters, and use them to fight (and Digimon do say more than just their names) In the end, both series are really entertaining, it's just that Pokemon survived better over here and the games are more successful, I even dont enjoy Digimon games, just the show itself.
 
Pocket Monsters and Digimon = Two different things.

Digimon came first as a digital pet.
Pocket Monsters came as an RPG video game.

Digimon and Pok?mon are BOTH shortened names of their original names (Digital Monsters and Pocket Monsters). Both types of monsters are completely different and have different methods of battling.

The plots for the anime and games are COMPLETELY different.

The entire concepts are DIFFERENT.

Christ. Just because it has the word "mon" in it doesn't make it a rip off. By that logic, I suppose Pocket Monsters is a rip off of Monsters in my Pocket because of the words "Pocket" and "Monsters."

You fail.
 
I hate threads likethese --

Anyways, Digimon like ETR said came before Pokemon. But from what I know they were both derived from the Digital Pet idea of some third company that didn't quite make it. Or it could be that the people behind Digimon were the same behind the Tamas, but I don't remember really.

Both are two different show and neither is a rip off of eatch other, they just both happened to become TV shows later on..
 
Digimon Tamers was season 3.
 
Tamas= Tamagochi, just short way of saying it. Which is technically what both came from, the idea of raising a monster for various reasons...Which is basically the root idea of both Pokemon and Digimon
 
Just because you don't like the show,no need to start flaming and make others feel bad. Plus,everyone has their own opinion.

My opinion,I like Digimon. I use to not like it because I was stupid to listen to everyone else say it's just a 'copy' of Pokemon and stuff,but once I watched it,its actually an interesting show.

All you idiots saying Digimon is a ripoff Pok?mon. IT'S NOT! Digimon never copied. Their 2 different concepts, it's like Superman V Power Rangers, Their both technically superheros, but it's a different concept, Digimon and Pok?mon are both monsters BUT THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Sure, they do have lots of things in Common, like a Digivice With pok?dex, Digimon with Pok?mon, Tai with Ash, and that stuff.

BUt look, Digimon is some bunch of Kids saving the world, Pok?mon is a road guided by Gym Leaders and stuff. How on Earth is it a Ripoff?
 
hai hai so basically Digimon came first...Case Closed...turning out to be more of a Digimon vs. Pokemon thing IMEyes...and moved here while i was taking an early sleeping day...evil XD...
anywho, enough restating
1. digimon came first
2. whatever is a rip-off of whatever
3. they're different ideas
...digi apologizes for wasting your time XD
