One thing Digimon got right is not shitting up the dex.
What's the point of having 126-156 Pokémon a gen if only 6-20 are worth damn?
Any of you play play stadium? The battles near the end were intense.


>INB4 MERCH
only a couple of pokemon were released as those shitty minifigures/plushes/bouncy balls during the first gens.

>INB4 it makes it feel like a lived in world
shut the fuck up, they just health bars until they started appearing on screen until recently. Route one shit rats and bugs are waste of space, at least in digimon everything can become something worthwhile eventually.
We rarely saw anything outside of battle until fifth gen.

Also making them a replacement for animals was a stupid move too, they should have just been monsters as it was intended in the first gen. Seeing as though they are portrayed as though they can understand human speech. It doesn't feel right for them to eat one another or things of that nature.


>INB4 digifag robots and cosplay
It's called evolution dumbfucks; if something remained an animal for 5-6 stages that's just shit getting larger. Also both series are heavily influenced by tokusatsu, stop acting white and uneducated.

The way digimon did it was they just kept adding more top tier monsters at the end of the evolution chain instead of making new baby/child monsters with entirely new lines. Because of this we had animated sprites and follow animations 5 years before pokemon did as well as new models ever console cycle instead of the same crusty shit from N64 till the wii.

Also this chart isn't even complete more things have been added to it.

Not everybody plays the same way you do. Pokemon is for 5-12 year olds some kids just like cute shit, some kids like battling and building good teams, some kids want to catch all of them.

I am not factoring in nuzlockes because those are for poor kids who can't afford other games. I've seen what's out there, and pokemon could have been better sooner.

> some kids like battling and building good teams, some kids want to catch all of them.
With a smaller roster we could have had animated sprites and many quality of life changes earlier.

Digimon as a franchise IS "shitting up the dex"

Have you actually LOOKED? There is maybe a collection of mons you might see in just one animated series, which is optimal. But then you look at ALL digimon in existence and you have half a dozen variations of Wargreymon, dozens upon dozens of niche digimon you have ever seen in your life, and for every digimon you remember off the top of your head they have three or MORE very specific cosmetic variants with unique names.

On top of that, I'm old enough to notice that at some point Bandai completely re-localized a lot of digimon which was very confusing when I first saw. Who the fuck is Shoutmon? I remember Growlmon.


Pokemon's dex is far, far more concise.

Diamond and Pearl

At this point Pokemon in my eyes is just "Fursona Species Generator: The Video Game"
>>
>>58200305
eh, many of those things aren't available in game. Either NPC or enemy. As opposed to level one shit rats and useless dex filler.
>>
>>58199644
This is actually what I hate most about Digimon. The branches have become too big. You can Digivolve something into so many things that all the moves sets bleed into eachother, completely negating any sense diversity. Imagine playing Pokemon and depending on which starter you choose, you've already got a third of the Dex, if not more... What's the point of going out and exploring if all you have to do is sit and grind out an legendary?

>Incoherent, inconsistent evolutions
Do digifags really? Also why does Agumon digivolve into a turd? What's the theme behind that?
>>
>>58201581
The rationale is that Digimon shat its own dex from its conception. Telefang is the better oldschool Pokeclone anyways.

>>58199644

That's also because Pokemon is almost an yearly release while Digimon games get time to breathe (unless they are DS games)

yes

Well so is pokemon but you don't see eevee evolving into diarrheon if it's leveled up with low friendship
>>
>>58201601
To add to this, Pokemon is almost solely developed by Game Freak, while Digimon games have different studios, off the top of my head, the studios from Wild Arms and Tales of also develop Digimon games.

You are zooming right now, if you raised something incorrectly you suffer the consequences. If you aren't old enough to remember the digital pet era then shut the fuck up.

>>58201019
Less wasted space by route one rodents, midgame pokemon that do nothing, and overall useless crap.

Another thing is that in many games you don't catch them, you have one or two that stick with you and everything else is an NPC or enemy. The catching ones weren't that fun.


>>58201662
Finally someone with some sense, they need to be called out for their incompetence. Look what has happened when it's handed off to different developers!
>Mystery Dungeon
Everything is animated quite well for the platform and there is a more complex battle system in place
>Conquest
Over all more complicated tactics title with a much better artstyle.

They honestly need to have that shit taken from them.

>>58201838
You want shitty dub acting?! You know for fact that they aren't going to release the subbed version outside of Japan due to their localization hard on.

Black and White.

>Also why does Agumon digivolve into a turd?
any digimon poorly raised does that, becasuse unlike pokemon, you actually had to take care and train your digimon.

Scarlet and Violet, which are currently the second best selling games in the entire franchise.

They are counting regional variants/megas/modes as separate mons in the site dex stop acting like a diaper girl.
