That could be refering to the site though =/Dragonfree said:Digimon.com's copyright notice says 1997-2005.
Pok?mon.com's copyright notice says 1995-2005.
That's where I looked to see it, but then I've also heard that Tamagotchi existed before that and were basically the predecessors of Digimon. Were they really as similar to Pok?mon, though?
Well, either way, I don't know a lot about Digimon. I've just done some research on the monsters, and found that aside from a small group of Digimon which are basically the most Pok?mon-like ones, I prefer the Pok?mon monster designs by far. :/ Even in the case of comparisons like Agumon and Charmander, I prefer Charmander because I like the simplistic style.

so that means, Digimon is the incoherant work of Satan

Thank you, that explains a lot. So it did come first as a Tamagotchi off-shoot, but didn't become Pok?mon wannabes until Pok?mon came out... Yay! I was right! It is a rip-off! *personal opinion* :paranoid:Jarman said:Digimon was a type of Tamagochi before the Pokemon games were first made, but they didn't make Digimon into normal games, a TV show and a TCG until Pokemon became popular.
How about Digimon as Digital Monsters?Digital Mage said:It's just the mon in the name where people try & find a similarity. & originaly pokemon was pocket monsters which sounds nothing like digimon.
Light_Azumarill said:I don't consider either of them a "rip-off" of the other, simply because they're totally different. Sure Digimon can "evolve" into a higher form with more power like Pokemon, but that's about all they have in common. And a main hero (in 1st season Digimon) that has fluffy spiky hair. That's it. Digimon come from a parallel world, Pokemon from the same world. Pokemon stay evolved, Digimon don't (though it may take them a while to go back like in Tamers). They're plenty different. They just look the same to the untrained eye.
