Which do you prefer? Pokemon or Digimon? What's your favorite game of the franchise? Let us know!

[@platinumraven118]

Sorry if you managed to read the outrage I left here. I think it is beyond disrespectful to say a blanket statement like "The Newer Pokémon gens have such uninspired designs." Klefki has more thought put into its design than Muk the actual pile of non descript 'toxic sludge'(And muk is still a fun in design in my opinion) No, Pokémon didn't "go downhill", Corviknight, Purrzerker, Alcreme, Gigantamax Forms, A lot of the Alolan/Hisuian/Galarian Forms. All were immensely creative, and you really fucking disregarded them in a way that makes me angry and sick to my stomach. ALSO, Smolive and Fidough are fucking treasures with cute designs that can be expanded upon in cool ways through evolution, so I can't gel with "Scarlett Violett drops, Really?". I really just disagree with the whole sentiment.

[@platinumraven118]

Sorry, I did use harsh language and came back to compose myself and phrase my words in a way that was less of an attack on what you said. I overreacted and was overly angry with my words. Now, what I responded with still has some of that venom and anger in it so please take it with a grain of salt as it reflects only my thoughts on your last comments of the video and not you as a person

[@platinumraven118]

In the end my anger isn't you not liking Pokémon designs, it is that you were referring to ALL designs as though there aren't hundreds of great Pokémon designs, multiple from the generations. Yes, it is a matter of opinion, but it comes down to me feeling like the statement is meaningless because you literally disregarded every Pokémon from Gen 6 onward, and many people push that to be from gen 5 onward. But the fact of the matter is that Pokémon has really cool designs basically every generation.

[@animefan6662]

I'm more of a Pokemon fan and I'd have to say my favorite depends on the antagonist, since every hero needs a great villain. Team Rocket is just the mafia, driven purely by money and power. What they lack in originality, they more than make up for in cruelty, going so far as to create the most powerful Pokemon ever by splicing human and Pokemon DNA (the games are milk by comparison with the manga) Team Aqua and Magma are just eco-terrorists. Team Galactic wants to make a new universe in their image, which means destroying the current one (go big or go home, right?) Team Plasma is just an animal rights activist group, but they get bonus points for being the only group that tries to kill the player. Team Flare is the most bland, generic organization to date. They're basically a caricature of a bond villain. Team Skull is probably the most relatable group since they're literally just a gang full of people that fell in with the wrong crowd. Team Yell is a joke. Just aggressive cheerleaders for one person. Team Cipher literally abuses Pokemon until they become evil rage bundles. Team Snagem is the milquetoast, half baked version of Team Rocket. Based on that, I'd have to go with Gale of Darkness. To this day, it remains the most unique with the concept of Shadow Pokemon and somehow manages to top Team Rocket in cruelty. Team Plasma has awesome theme music, though. I'm a sucker for electric guitar.

[@darkdragon6969]

i played both but my first game was digimon world 1 then pokemon red and blue overall enjoyed digimon better

[@JJsuperJJ]

Honestly, I never played Digimon games much, but I LOVED the show. I think it thrives there more than in the video game realm.

[@venomflame2358]

Yup, the games honestly well their not good; the anime is where it's at for the most part haven't watched Ghost Game though

[@noahmc820]

Love the content, but she should had played cyber sleuth.

[@lilypanda4193]

That was my first Digimon game! It was quite fun :)

[@shelliblossom8953]

I love watching people who play the games before react to people playing them for the first time I watched a few digi fans watch her and each person says something different the first one he loved the playstation one I think he meant the world for playstation then there was another guy who said she sould of played world ds because it's a better one to introduce a new person to what digimon is then the last one said cyber sleuth is the best one to play

[@carlosortiz8432]

Agreed. Personally Cyber Sleuth is my favorite Digimon game.

[@AlexThat200]

Here’s the thing about the game she started with to get into Digimon. Digimon World Dawn and Dusk are sequel games to Digimon World DS (with 2 more sequels that never released outside of Japan). The sequels assume you’ve played the previous game and don’t ease you into it like the first one does. Granted that doesn’t help the problems she herself had, but the reason it was acclaimed as an okay game is because the games were played by prior fans mostly. Also the games were mostly meant to be played in segments, like when kids would come back from school. So not a good streaming game. And I guess Japanese kids are apparently built different when it comes to patience. She’s definitely taking the right step going for Cyber Sleuth next, as that game is more accessible and fun. Especially if you like gameplay from Pokémon and/or Persona/SMT. That being said, the games are more like supplements to the anime and trading card game which a a big majority of the fandom agrees blows the Pokémon counterparts out of the water. And you two seem to be a bit familiar with the franchise, what with your experience with “Rumble Arena”. Which I am very familiar with alongside its sequel. Digimon is worth getting into if not for the monsters, then maybe for the narratives across the mediums.

[@runeanonymous9760]

I started with Dusk and didn't run into the problems she had. I say "started" but I'd played some of the console games, and Dusk was the first Digimon game I enjoyed

[@AlexThat200]

@@runeanonymous9760 Just a matter of what mechanics certain people can tolerate/enjoy. I don't know if she was going into it thinking it was going to be like Pokemon, but it just wasn't for her as a beginner.

[@scarletrose8766]

@@AlexThat200 i think jaiden has issues with grinding since she hates grinding so i dunno why she picked dawn to play like she avoided digimon world 2 for the reason it being grindy yet picked a game thats equally grindy cause she never check the game even further and just found a good game ..... I have 180Hrs. In Dusk mostly me grinding for max stats cause i have nothing better to do i finished the main quest up to legendary tamer quest and im too lazy to do the farm sidequest. But jaiden picked the wrong game to start off with she probably should have asked more but it happens she picked the wrong game. Very least if shes gonna do cyber sleuth she might have more fun.

[@kyuokuo]

Yo, digimon anime is fire! The games are hit or miss though... Edit: CyberSleuth is pretty dang fun, though!

[@keandredewayneavery8132]

"Iknow absolutely nothing about Digimon. Pokemon is my entire life so why would I need to branch out?" Is exactly how i feel about Digimon 😂 i have friends who loves digimon but i could never get into it. Probably because I couldn't watch it as a kid because I didn't know it existed for the longest time and so my child mindd has been soaking up Pokemon

[@bloodworkdc2106]

Thats a stupid way of thinking.

[@JMJTOS]

Dude Digimon Rumble Arena was the best. I loved playing as BlackWarGreymon

[@scarletrose8766]

My main was renamon cause of how cheap you can get with renamon you really dont need to go mega cause i found that renamons diamond storm hit a lot harder the bigger the opponent cause the more diamond storm hits the more it does damage so facing someone like a omninom would eat a lot of the diamond storm and do more damage and kohenkyo the ability to switch places with the opponent is very cheeky cause you can trigger a trap and get squashed by a boulder but you have enough time to switch places with the opponent and they get hit instead its like one of the things that made renamon broken to a point they had to remove renamon in rumble arena 2

[@ultimateninjaboi]

Whoever suggested to Jaiden that she starts with a sequel... jail. Tar and feathers. HANGED FROM THE NECK UNTIL DEAD (in minecraft)

[@Ryu.86]

Pokemon designs grow on me even if I don't like them initially. My favorite pokemon of all time, greninja, came from gen 6 even when people didn't really enjoy the gen, the anime was straight up fire tho. People always say that pokemon designs are not as good as they used to but to me they all look like pokemon, meaning they look like they are all from one series. People complain if the new designs are bland or over designed and they always have this complain every new gen.

[@grimrobin696]

Digimon rumble arena was awesome, I only played it in an arcade back in the day, but I would spend a long time playing it, I loved playing as angemon and unless I'm forgetting was actually my first introduction to Digimon

[@grimrobin696]

Actually adding to this, I never played a pokemon game until platinum and that was just because I found a copy on the ground one day during school and gave it a shot

[@shelliblossom8953]

I tried to get into the digimon anime when I was younger (like preteen at oldest)thinking cool so they are like talking pokemon but I never could get over the weird ways they evolved they go from animals to full on humans and my brain like shut off and my adhd kicks on and I turn it off

[@LiMe251]

Fun fact: Canonically any Digimon can become any Digimon (Also their bodies are data so the appearances aren't concrete between stages).

[@shelliblossom8953]

@jackedhughman4981 yea I learn that after still couldn't get into it and I know it's a me thing not saying it's bad or anything

[@LiMe251]

@@shelliblossom8953 Fair, people can have opinions.

[@krystaloftheshores]

Digimon Rumble Arena was the game I grew up with, too!! It was dope!!! I wish they brought it to the Switch so could waste hours on the same repetitive, story-less battle system with my favorite mons like I did as a kid. ☺️☺️😊😊

[@cryingtomatohead8626]

To be fair, Literally most of gen 1 was just eccentric animals. They were ALWAYS grasping for pokemon designs

[@greyscaleadaven]

I would def reccomend Pokken! It's very underrated, but has a small but great and dedicated community as far as I know at least. I'm just a pokemon enjoyer that likes pokken though so I don't have like a definitive take on the scene or anything. Pokken DX is apparently on the switch, I just have the Wii U version and they did a really good job with the battle system IMO. For pokemon, IMO Gen 7 had the best designs, taking very heavy inspiration from the hawaiian theme and doing it well. But yeah, most pokemon designs aren't amazing, even from gen 1 when they had a ball of slime and just a ball. There are a few gems from the ever increasing pile I really like though, like Xatu, Golurk, Aegislash, Galvantula, and Archeops. IMO pokemon have a lot more intrigue individually from a lore perspective. Like you kinda have to know what mushroom is described in Parasect's dex entry to recognise the genius of it's evolution line as the zombified crab is slowly but surely entirely taken over by the mushroom's influence. But for digimon, I have fond memories of watching the original anime as a kid, though I never could understand how digivolution or whatever it's called worked it was really good!

[@ryuujisan1768]

yo Don u good? sound like u lost your voice..hope yall have a good day & love the content

[@sonolife4650]

I prefer digimon anime and Pokemon games 😂 I like both, just they each have their strong suits.

[@derpaderp8984]

I’m probably 50-50 Pokémon and divining love. Pokémon is so much easier to gush over because the games are great. Digimon has probably some of the best stories I have ever heard, compared to Pokémon, and the monsters are amazing. But yes i have to agree that digimon has been screwed over because of the games Edit: world 3 has to give up because I couldn’t find a card and I had the inability to access the internet to help me. Cyber sleuth and the second one I did finish, the story, after the story is a bunch of side quests that needed you to get the best digimon to have a chance of fighting them which then ran into a very steep wall of grinding levels, digivolutions and devolutions to get to the right mega form

[@axels3188]

This was a good reaction also I have played both Digimon World and Digimon World 3 but have never completed them and I have Played Digimon Rumble arena which I liked the most as it was easier to play.

[@cloudkitsune17]

I love Pokemon, Digimon, Monster Rancher, Yo-Kai Watch... They're all great in their own way, in my opinion. Each has their pros and cons, including the Pokemon series even from Gen1. (I also love the Key, Ice Cream, and Garbage Pokemon, fyi) I did play Pokemon Dusk, which is the Red/Blue version of Dawn. I enjoyed it a lot and loved the grinding aspect to get my favorite digimon evolutions. It felt VERY rewarding. But~ I can understand not everyone would like that, nor a first time player who doesn't know what they're aiming for. XD That being said, the most "Pokemon" Digimon game out there, is actually Digimon World 3. But, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth (Hacker's Memory) are the more mainstream games out there that are both really fun and easy to start with as a newcomer.

[@axels3188]

Well when I was growing up I way more into Digimon then later on I got more a liking for Pokemon so now I like both.

[@octopiedinoraptor327]

Digimon anime slaps, Pokemon could never but the games are uh, all over the place XD They aren't very beginner friendly if you don't know specifically which game to play, and seem to rely heavily on having anime knowledge. Pokemon games are repetitive, the stories are trash, but you can pick up any game and know how to play/what the story is and I love them for exactly that. They are mindless pet brawling games that kill time. My favorite is probably USUM specifically because Mimikyu is my favorite critter ever. Don't have a favorite Digimon game but after Jaidens video I want to try Cybersleuth!

[@LD33004]

Cyber Sleuth is a good beginners game. If you want to go for a retro game that is also friendly to beginners, you could try Digimon Adventure for the PSP, then you could follow it with Digimon Anode/Cathode Tamer V-dramon Version for the WonderSwan Color (there are 3 more games following Ryo's Saga but those might get too confusing to play). If you want something not related to the Anime, you could try Digimon Re:Digitize Decode for the 3DS that is somewhat easier than other Digimon Worlds out there.

[@morrison5106]

Digimon Survive was my favorite digimon game it was dark visual novel

[@krystaloftheshores]

Judging from what Digimon veterans who reacted to her video said, most if not all of the Digimon games were…well, *points to video*. But Digimon Rumble Arena is so good in its simplicity.

[@True105]

Yes! Digimon Rumble Arena! Thank you for reminding me of thaat game, your right that game was amazing

Hm, i recommend checking out Karn EX, he is a pretty knowledgeable DigiTuber, if you’re interested.

[@risuwolf]

I've seen someone mention before that Pokémon is better at making games and Digimon is better at making anime, and I tend to agree with that. I was a big fan of the digimon anime when I was little and I've just heard through hear-say, even before this video, that there were no good Digimon games, so I think Jaiden just went after the wrong type of media for this franchise

[@scarletrose8766]

I mean to be fair cyber sleuth is the best digimon had came up since it went underground goes to show that they vanish and work thier way back up then they made Redigitize better with decode too they made next order which is good but cyber sleuth takes the cake for thier current games. Survive cant really say much about it except they made it into a horror game.

[@LD33004]

The thing is that Pokemon is a game franchise that branched-out into other media. However Digimon is essentially a Tamagotchi franchise that branched-out into Anime and Games, so it does tend to have games with varying formulas or radically different genres like other non-game focused franchises tend to do. Though, ever since 2006 Digimon has tried to keep a consistency between the different releases of their games. For example the 'Worlds' are RPG games with monster raising/Tamagotchi elements in it, the 'Stories' are RPG with Dungeon Crawler elements in it (btw even tho the game Jaiden was playing is called Digimon World in the west, it's actually a Digimon Story game in Japan).

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, say, have you watched the Digimon vs Pokémon DEATH BATTLE? I recommend it.

[@drguineapig8755]

I played it. I couldn’t 100% it though. The grind got too real. My advice to anyone who wants to play it: make sure you dedigivolve and redigivolve your Digimon. It may be annoying but the alternative is playing on super hell difficulty. Trust me, I played like that on my first run and it was like beating my head against a wall repeatedly.

Also she avoided digimon world 2 for being grindy yet she picked a game thats grind heavy. She could have tried the digimon adventure on psp if she was emulating ..........

I know them all and yes there are ugly critters in there but also ones that are really cool and I‘ll use for sure.

It's more of style preference in the designs. We've talked about it before, we just enjoy more of the sharper lines more realistic approach that OG pokemon had versus the newer stuff!
