Why is Digimon so unpopular compared to Pokemon? You'd think

>>377077751

Pokemon is a game series
Digimon is an anime

You do the math.

Crap, uninspired designs. It took multiple games for Pokemon to start scraping the bottom of the barrel, whereas Digimon started there.

damn that's a big condom

Digimon designs are objectively better then Pokemon designs though

pokemon came first. Being first in anything nets you a massive advantage.

Also Digimon is really an entirely different beast and it failed to capture the imagination of an entire generation like pokemon did

Pokemon. The answer is always pokemon, You can argue that Pokemon once you get down to brass tacts are too fundamentally different to considered the same, and you'll be pretty right, it doesn't change the fact people thought of it as a competitor of pokemon, and like all competitors of pokemon, it failed. Just be happy it managed to claw enough of a niche to all it to exist in relative comfort unlike the others.

>>377077751
Digimon was better as anime than games until literally this gen. And the anime are intended for older kids rather than younger kids so they don't pull all the marketing tropes needed for anime airing on tv in japan to get sponsored and stay on the air forever. Also the only ones on nintendo handhelds were pretty bad. If cyber sluts 2 comes out on switch and has good online it might do really well. As it stands I wouldn't expect it do much better than the first. The Tri movies are picking up at least.

Digimon started off as Tamagotchi, it's a video game series, but you're right in that the anime series are bigger than the games.

>>377077751
Pokemon has some pretty iffy designs at worst, sometimes the colouring is off or the shape doesn't work. Digimon designs are absolutely fucking awful though, there's nothing endearing about a good majority of them

Why aren't Pokemon as cute as Digimon?

>>377077751
Pokemon has remained consistent over most of its lifetime, only experiencing a hiccup between Gen 2 and Gen 3 and even then, still keeping things like evolution lines the same. Digimon has been a completely new series, with new rules and new relations between digimon with every anime season and nearly every game. The result is that, if you were ever familiar with Pokemon, then you will mostly be familiar with what is currently happening in Pokemon, and could still talk with people about it. If you were ever familiar with Digimon, then chances are anything you know will be completely irrelevant with whatever is the current anime or game.

It's like Sonic and Mario. The Sonic fandom tears itself apart because there are some 15 different Sonic settings and they don't generally get along. On the other hand, there is really just one Mario with just one set of Mario characters, and so everyone familiar with Mario knows who Peach and even Wario are.

>Why is Digimon so unpopular compared to Pokemon?

When pokemon was first brought over it was brought over by Warner bros. Who used their vast amounts of shit especially music librays to fug with localization, especially with the movies, so that it would better resonate withe American and western audiences.


also pokemon is more whimsical taking place in an entirely fantasy and whimsical world compared to digimon taking place in the real world meant that Pokemon was more attractive to fags wanting shit that let them escape from their shitty or boring lives more easily.

That's a very easy question to answer shit gameplay and got too up it's own ass with evolutions and what not. Pokemon stuck to simple gameplay and simple evolutions meaning everyone could get into it and from there on they built more complex shit on top.

But it makes complete sense for Digimon to be what they are. Data is can configure itself into any shape, why the fuck would it be restricted to animals? Pokemon are living, organic beings. This also explains why Digimon evolve into machines and humanoids, which are the most successful things in our world, rather than bigger lizards and bigger mammals. Digimon is a lot more logically sound than Pokemon, it's entirely feasible for them to exist, aside from the dimensional crossover into the real world shit.

That's the problem. If Digimon focused more on improving the first game rather than just try whatever genre is hip now, it could be an actual rival to Pokemon.
DW1 would be much fun with actual rpg mechanics and better balance.
Also, Digimon has too many digis (specially recolors) and evolution trees that makes people scared or confused when playing.

I actually said nothing about the design of the digimon themselves, although the cobbled together mechanical design, which looks like some sort of really shitty cyberpunk, probably doesn't help anything.

Rather, the problem is a complete lack of consistency between series and games. Omnimon could be anything from a fusion of the main protagonists, to a high powered knight working for the antagonists, to some random high level mook you run into for filling out your Digidex. Hell, he's named Omegamon in half the material.

By contrast, Mewtwo is pretty much Mewtwo in every appearance he makes. Sure, he may not be exactly the same Mewtwo as seen it the movie that petrified Ash and so on, but in general he's still a genetic experiment based off Mew with great psychic powers and which broke out of its lab and runs around free. You don't run into Mewtwo the Heavenly Knight of Twelve appearing in a season or game.

I like Gotsumon. Good to see him showing up.

>>377079731
>isn't YW dying/dead?

Not even slightly. You actually listen to what the Poke-autists tell you?

Pokemon has been on television nonstop since the 90s. It has also had consistent game releases and appearances in major games like Smash.

Digimon started off as a tamagotchi which died off in the 90s. Animes come out every couple of years, when brought to the west they become more and more obscure and in worse timeslots. People had to bitch and beg at Bandai to restart translating Digimon games again.

Golly gee why is Pokemon more popular.

Real answer: the branding was messy and inconsistent.

You can bitch and moan about Pokemon designs each gen, but that branding was always on point.

Digimon tried to be like 3-4 different things at once, and the only thing it did remotely well and consistently was the anime serieses.
You had the proto-tamogatchis, you had the card games, you had the actual video games that changed with every iteration, you had the changes in localization which is pretty harmless but still likely confused kids when there were already pallete swaps but then you had to deal with familiar digimon having their names changed from reasonably localized names to literal translations of the japanese names.

Also, that artstyle is a fucking mess. I mean, it looks cool depending on the digimon, but there is very little in common to base "what is, and what isn't, a Digimon".

>what makes pokemon so untouchable?
They planned on it being multimedia and being interconnected, and with keeping it all consistent. This meant that nearly everybody knows what Pokemon is. If they sit down and want to play a game about collecting monsters, or watch a cartoon, they're more likely to turn on Pokemon than they are any of the others.

Monster Rancher wasn't really comparable. Monster Rancher was monster raising, Pokemon was monster collecting. Monster Rancher focused on building up a connection with one monster, Pokemon focused on leveling up a team and filling out an index. I think that Monster Rancher trying to compete directly with Pokemon was a large problem, because it was just never going to succeed. Although the series failed due to its own faults, not because Pokemon killed it.

Dinosaur King was a strange one, since it was based on effectively a japanese gacha arcade game. It then attempted to move into anime and video games, and didn't quite succeed. The video game was apparently shit, just basic RPS, and so didn't hook anyone there. The anime was amusing, but not really different from Pokemon outside the dinosaurs being dinosaurs (sort of) and the better cast. And they still had the silly card thing going on, past it still making sense.

Fossil Fighters was, I feel, an attempt as a more consistent/a reboot of Pokemon. It was probably designed for people who felt that collecting 700+ pokefuckers was just too much, and wanted everything in one game. It was great, too, but the collectathon people still preferred the larger set of monsters, and/or were still too heavily invested in Pokemon.

>>377080190
>implying every battle is 1v1

The vast majority are. 1v1 RPG battles are literally the most worthless things to ever be invented. It cannot be considered gameplay due to how braindead it inevitably is.

I always loved the Digimon card designs. I even liked the 3D ones where they interchange the 02 Digimon with the Digieggs. Admittedly, some of them are pretty average looking, but I still find it neat.

Digimon did not have a gameboy game.
Digimon had a line of tamagotchi.

Even if it did have a gameboy game it would only be as well loved as DemiKids.
Digimon eventually got a fighting game and racing game on the GBA.
Things that could be construed as actual games showed up on the DS by 2006.
Pokemon is by and large a handheld game series.

Digimon eventually became watered down megaman exe in a lot of ways.
It has substantial console games that few people played.
Didn't appeal to a casual audience the way pokemon did.
There is not a lot of room for alternatives in the monster trainer genre.
I'm surprised Yokai Watch became as well known as it became.
Digimon Cybersleuth is on the Vita and that statement speaks volumes as to why Digimon is not more popular.

>>377079469
>>377079731
I've heard that Yo-kai Watch was getting less popular. Kids were just not buying the Yo-kai spinners and whatever other toys they were attempting to sell. That said, I'm not really sure how well the games or anime are doing, and if the toys are making up for it or not.

>>377080329

>>377079013

This actually is the last Vita digimon title to be made. In an interview, the devs stated they felt it would be insulting to create Hacker Memories for PS4 only and thus created the Vita version for fans, as the Vita versions of games almost always outsold the PS4 counterparts.
What this means is you can transfer your save from Cyber Sleuth and play from there, assuming anybody saved their files for that long.

>>377080805
It's a very ornate sword

>>377080364
there is a pretty good justification, since these we based on the tamagotchi game, is obvious most digimon started being living balls with face until they later evolve a bit more developed or big rounded with faces

>I never heard about the dinosaur ones
To be fair, I didn't hear about Dinosaur King until after the fact. The anime was amusing (at least the first season) but not really noteworthy. The DS game was apparently quite disappointing. It did have a card game which, while not too complex, was actually rather fun... but that died after the second set.

I think the biggest problem is that the Dinosaur King anime tried to replicate the whole playing cards, and so you had the kids scanning cards for special attacks and scanning cards to summon extra dinosaurs. (kind of like Digimon Tamers) So it really would only appeal to people interested in Dinosaurs and card games together. Pokemon, by contrast, set itself up in its own world and so it appealed to people interested in being a kid and going on an adventure, and so would appeal to a lot more people, even ones who weren't interested in the video game.

Digimon is too elaborate for kids. Pokemon is villian of the week so you can hop into it at any time, remember nothing, and still get what's going on.
It's a shame, digimon was objectively better. If they solidified how their evolutions worked it could have been great.

>>377077751
A few reasons.

1. Pokemon had Nintendo backing it.
This means a series of games, advertisement, a show adaption that just goes and goes with a catchy theme, and was just generally well known. It was in your face one way or another.

2. Digimon was butchered in many ways in the US.
Most common Digimon for most in the west is the movie, which is smashed together from parts of other things like some horrid corpse that makes no sense. Welcome to Digimon.

3. Introduction to the game.
Every fucker had a GameBoy and Pokemon was the last big game before the GameBoy Color so it was well known and played with friends and full of bugs and secrets to talk about. Digimon was an early morning time slot show with some random game releases.

TL;DR Advertisement and Nintendo. Also I want a remaster of Monster Rancher 1 or a game like it myself.

Yea I caught some of the show it wasn't bad, but a lot of people got their intro to Digimon from the movie. And that was a confusing fucking mess of a movie.

You could pick up the Pokemon movie and kinda get it. but the Digimon movie was a clusterfuck on so many levels.

Adding to what has been said previously, Pokemon's gameplay always stayed consistent and simple, among the many main title releases.

Digimon games on the other hand tend to vary widely in genre, and even ones of the same genre end up having a significant amount of quirks and obscure mechanics.

In Pokemon you just level them up 80% of the time, while something like Cybersleuth requires you to actively de-digivolve, give them food to raise CAM and do the equivalent of EV training in order to get a certain stat into a high enough point, in addition to being far more challenging battles. A kid is going to have far more fun in Pokemon Sun than he would in Cybersleuth.

It's different demographics and poor marketing that hurts Digimon. Pokemon is designed for kids but has enough complexity for adults to enjoy, Digimon is designed for teenage boys which limits its appeal. There are so many things Digimon related that don't make it to the west and the things that do don't seem that appealing. Pokemon was bankrolled heavily by big companies. Digimon is treated so badly and seen only as a way to maximize profits. There is no worthwhile investment made in it.

Personally I play pokemon and enjoy it but every time I see something Digimon related it feels like the biggest waste of potential. The concept of Digimon is so enticing that it really puts pokemon to shame. Pokemon is bland by comparison. All you have to do is build the simplest world around the Pokemon creatures. Pokemon's level of polish is unmatched. Not liking pokemon doesn't mean it's unpolished.

There is no Digimon product that entices me. Which is a real shame considering I love digimon and I don't see why it's so hard for them to make a good product with such a great license. They need to let either other people work on Digimon or let someone competent lead the franchise.

Oh, sure. It's the toys and the merchandise which makes the bulk of the profit; the games and anime are mostly advertising vectors.

But when you are putting out that many mainline games - and putting them all out at roughly the same time - then people will end up just fatigued. The biggest fans will just give up on the series, and just stop buying all the merchandise. Bandai Namco is making the same mistake that Activision did with Guitar Hero: they're assuming they can just double production in order to double profits, not realizing that they are killing off their brand due to people simply deciding that they've had enough of the franchise already.

I'd say it's amazing that another company could make the same mistake, but then I remembered that Japanese companies tend to ignore most of what western companies do - including their failures. Bandai Namco is also used to how Precure/Kamen Rider works, and so probably thinks that a successful series should be putting out material yearly and in a constant stream. That's just not how video games work.

I'm going to disagree. If it was a gen1 design, the wings on the toucan would be on fire, or being giant, or it's have spiky beak, somethign to that effect. Toucannon is literally just a toucan. Fuck, even from the name You'd think it'd have a loudran style cannon for a beak, or some sort of rail riffle theme.

I probably would have dropped it if I wasn't conditioned by years of playing MMOs to ignore all the tedious parts.

Digimon was so fucking confusing for me as a kid. Maybe it was me being used to the simple Pokemon plot first, but Digievolutions didn't make any goddamn sense to me. Digimons looked like they just evolve and unevolve whenver they felt like it. I still don't get it.

I mean de-digivolve in order to raise Abi, which is needed to evolve most Megas in the game, my bad.

I admit i didn't play Cybersleuth on Normal though, so you are right in that it might be possible to stomp through it with a team of 3 level 99 Champion/Ultimates. Getting to that point should be substantially harder than it would be in Pokemon though, assuming Cybersleuth's Normal is at least comparable to something like Digimon World.

And the anime was better than Pokemon. But to answer OP, the Pokemon (the game) came out first and was the biggest fad/phenomenon of it's time back then.

I wonder what will it be like living in the timeline were Digimon became the popular franchise and not pokemon.
Do you think the card game will still be selling here now with it's original back design.
Do you think they'll have that game where you can card slash real TCG like that one episode about Henry in his room before getting terriermon?
I sometimes wonder how would they made the digimon tamagotchi work online if it was really succesful

To be fair, it kind of assumed that you were familiar with Sailor Moon and that whole list of phantom thief shows to be familiar with the trope. If you weren't, then Henry would've been pretty obvious (or being set up to be obvious) but you would not have known that it was a trope being mocked.

The digimon TCG made no sense to me, and I think I was the only person out of everyone I knew who bought it

>>377083502

Ah, fair enough. Gotta agree with you on that point, some of the bosses with longer dialogues (All of Jimiken's fights for example) were a pain in the ass to lose. I am pretty glad i was able to beat Barbamon on my first attempt, that dialogue went on forever, especially if Rina's cut-scene is unskippable as i am assuming.

Jimiken definetly got old after a while, it was funny at first, but that gimmick really overstayed it's welcome.

>Do you think the card game will still be selling here now with it's original back design.
Which card game? There was more than one physical card game, plus the PS1 card game and the mini-game from DW3. They all had different rules and completely different mechanics. There were probably others, too, that I never noticed.

>Do you think they'll have that game where you can card slash real TCG
No, that would require too much equipment.

Well, to be accurate, they could do that. Take a look at the Dinosaur King arcade game (and Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road) to see how it would work. However, outside arcades and outside Japan, it just wouldn't be practical. You aren't going to see them trying to release a GBA Reader for just that function.


Most likely, you'd just see the original Digimon chain toys a hell of a lot more popular. You'd probably also see Digimon as a yearly series, like how Precure works in Japan. The video games would probably be put out to capitalize on whatever the recent anime was about, so expect them to be far less impressive than what we've managed to get so far. Stuff more like Digimon World 4 or the Rumble Arena games.

It depends on which material you read/play/watch but in many it's strongly implied. This is furthered by the fact that there's been times when digimon have expressed open sexual interest in the protagonists.

>>377083893
There is an amusing bit in the DiC localization, where Darien says that he doesn't recognize the name "Darien", despite being called Prince Darien by everyone. That was due to him having different civilian/prince names but them being localized as the same, without considering what happened later in the series.

As for his face-turn, Serena and Darien were basically engaged and lovers in a past life and they'd regained their memories. Although Darien is still sort of a dick... he's just a dick in not confiding his problems, as opposed to being an insulting ass.
