Summary: Pshaw.
Comment: Pokemon and Digimon are a close match, but I've always liked Digimon better. Digimon's characters are just more interesting: Ash and Tai are both stupid, but Tai is less so. Misty and Sora are both the 'group big sister,' but Misty whines more. The monsters are better, too- and they can talk, instead of repeat their own name like idiots. All in all, Digimon may have been less popular, but is, in my opinion, better by far.

Summary: Not a Pokemon copy
Comment: I'd like to say that Digimon came before Pokemon in Japan, but Pokemon was brought across the sea first, so everyone seems to think Pokemon is the original on this side of the planet and in Japan, because nobody cared about Digimon much there either. I think that this is much better than Pokemon. The characters, all seven of them, are better thought out, the plot is better (not a continuous, never-ending journey, but a real save the world plot) and the Digimon can go to Champion and back and can actually TALK not that "Pika Pika" stuff. I respect (sorta) all your opinions, whether we agree or not.

Summary: The Digimon Adventure Continues
Comment: This installment is the third in the Digimon series, and picks up right where the second video left off.
At this point the background and setting has been set, and the characters have had time to establish themselves, so the plot gets a chance to become more complex. The pace picks up, there's more room for adventure, and you really get sucked into the Digital World. The dialogue is improving and the characters become more natural.
Digimon will someday be hailed as a classic, as it has all of the elements that make for a lasting show. It's a lot of fun, and stays interesting, so kids and parents can have a great time watching it together.

Summary: Oh...wow...another pokemon clone....
Comment: pokemon is so uch better than this trash and I'm not even a fan. When this first came out I knew that it was gonna suck and wolla it did. I like charizard, he'd kick greymon's sorry behind. Pkemon kicks butt. Scooter the happy pony could beat wargrwymon.

This third installment of Digimon finds the seven lost campers and their Digimon on an unfamiliar island. In "Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo," Joe climbs Infinity Mountain to get a better look at the group's surroundings, and encounters flying black gears that turn normally friendly digital monsters into combative foes. Luckily, the group follows him, and Gomamon digivolves into Ikkakumon to save the day with his harpoon torpedo. In "Evil Shows His Face," the kids discover that they are "the digidestined": the ones chosen to preserve the existence of the digital world. An encounter with Devimon, the evil ruler of the underworld, and his subjugates Ogremon and Leomon, teaches the group the value of teamwork, and lends insight into the mystery of the flying black gears. Thanks to a little help from a digivice and a host of digivolved Digimon, the kids survive the attack, but find themselves scattered among several different islands. In "Sub Zero Ice Punch," Tai and Agumon land on an icy island, where they encounter a gear-influenced Frigimon. Agumon dissolves the gear and Frigimon returns to his friendly self, helping the pair find Matt and Gabumon on a nearby island. Initially the two boys disagree about how to proceed: Matt wants to search for their missing friends and Tai argues that the key to everyone's survival is to first defeat Devimon. Only the next episode will tell if their agreed-upon path will be successful. Digimon is incredibly similar to Pokémon: Both are good-looking animated series starring powerful children accompanied by monsters that evolve into more powerful creatures. Digimon differs from Pokémon in that it focuses more on the concept of teamwork as a powerful defense against a specific enemy rather than on one kid's quest to become a trainer of monsters. If you're looking for true adventure, a great story line, and dandy animation, Digimon is for you. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
