When people think of the Digimon anime, they think about the starring characters, such as Tai, Matt, Agumon, and those other familiar faces. When they return to it, they expect some familiar concepts and/or characters to have remained in place. Sometimes, a person who watches will take a break from it. So why? Why does the Pokemon anime consistently get better ratings?
After a while, Ash does collect all the gym badges in a region, then participates in some competition before moving on to another region where he collects another set of gym badges. On the other hand, Pokemon is about Ash and Pikachu, and how they travel from town to town collecting gym badges. While Pokemon does something similar, Digimon is different in that it tells one or two season long story arcs centered around a cast of characters who are out to defeat some foe that threatens the well being of a world or two. Digimon focuses on telling epic stories of adventure and character development. One thing that Digimon fans point out is that Digimon offers the better anime.Īnd in a sense, this is true.
This article explores the reasons why, even though Digimon superficially offers a more interesting experience, Pokemon has won the hearts of many millions more. Pokemon turned out to be far more popular, even if people don’t know how that came to be. However, people don’t like things without reason. But if you ask any of them why they like Pokemon more, you’ll see many of them throw their hands up and say “we just do.” It would seem as though few people truly understand why Pokemon is more popular, as though Digimon were somehow a superior product in every sense, but people have come to a consensus to like Pokemon instead, just because. No surprise there, Pokemon is much more popular. When you mention Pokemon and Digimon in the same breath among gamers, you’ll see many of them take sides. How many people out there remember Monster Rancher? Or Magi-Nation? Or Fighting Foodons? Out of the many Pokemon me-toos, the most popular was Digimon. Something that popular is bound to see different takes on it, and in Pokemon’s case, there were many.
Even at its lowest point, Pokemon had a fan base tens of millions strong. Even today, two decades after its debut, Pokemon continues to be a phenomenon.
