S was like bringing Kool Aid to a wine-tasting party. Digimon was the most blatant attempt to do this. While it is true that Digimon originated as Tamagotchi pets, Tamagotchi pets are distinct from Digimon.
Tamagotchi largely served as the platform on which Digimon made its debut. The first Tamagotchi was released on November 23, , nearly 9 months after the release of Pokemon Red and Green.
One of the most noticeable differences between seasons is in the cast of characters. But Digimon wins in the anime department. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a honest price?
Thank you, I appreciate it! Pingback: Pokemon vs. Digimon: Why Pokemon wins Magnetricity. Digimon: more proof that Pokemon came first Magnetricity. Edit: Removed the part saying that Shin Megami Tensei came in While this is technically true, the series that it originated from made its debut in I stand corrected.
Still, I welcome Digimon fans to present evidence that Digimon was in development prior to , if such evidence is available. Buddy give up we all know Digimon ripped off Pokemon anyways sorry for insulting about going to fuck pikachu I really am. To answer your first question, no. I do know that there are those who disagree with its outcome. I doubt that it was meant to be taken seriously.
Everything in Death Battle is supposed to be fun not something you have to take too seriously. I accept that pokemon came first, but Digimon never faded. Really I tried watching the first episode and I practically fell asleep. How they did the human digimon, the x-fusions, and human x-fusions, that was pretty cool. Not only did they do all this, but had the courage, friendship, knowledge, serenity, love, reliability, hope and light for Digimon adventure and Digimon You mentioned the importance of examining the franchises on international levels and Digimon has always been quite popular in Asia, namely Japan.
There have been several television series and movies as well as cards and a bunch of video games. Digimon started out as a virtual pet; something cute. Pokemon has always been about fighting. Shit got really heated here, BTW neither copied each other, they just using shit thats commonly found within its own genre and culture in Japan.
Well to be frank no one ripped anyone. Both are original concepts where one happen in real world while other in a digital world. Well both have different genres one being supernatural other being sci-fi. So lets respect both the anime. Is it really so hard to believe that two very similar ideas showed up within a couple years of each other, in the same part of the world, are aesthetically almost identical, and target the same demographic?
Apparently, it is. What grinds my gears is when someone not only denies that they took inspiration, but claims that the original stole from them. In the case of Digimon, this is more a problem with the fans than it is with the IP itself. That is why I wanted to write this article. This could not have been accomplished by attributing coincidental similarity. Such an explanation would not even be satisfactory, and it would not stand in a world where there are people willing to dig deep to find the truth of matters.
You need to do more research and if you really want to know which came first, why not talk to the original creators. That is the only way to really figure out which came first. This is not a troll and you should reread it to understand the statement. If you really want to find a closing to this argument the only way would be to actually talk to the original creators. If you are not able to understand this small concept then that is your problem and not mine.
You made the fallacy of your argument too obvious. It was meant to be too obvious. I am not trying to hide a valid point to my argument that make it useless and unvalid. But it seems like you enjoy to argue with other people, which is fine. People like to win that is nature, but like I said if you are not able to understand that concept that is your problem, not mine.
Oh by the way good try on trying to avoid the statement I made. Talk to the original creators to close this argument. If you really wanted to answer this post it is best to remain unbiased and to truly remain unbiased towards your forum topic you must not know either before creating an article that is not only comparing both but also is controversial among the fans.
Just by going to your page there are plenty of Pokemon articles you have created which in turn is one is one way to see your bias on this topic. I personally would believe a person that is unbiased than a person that is biased from the start. Also the evidence you claim to have is all easily obtainable from wikipedia that anyone can find and is no where near facts you would need to determine the answer to your topic.
Anyone can look up these facts for themselves but you have to also realize that when a game is released to the public is not the start of that game.
Games have many stages of development and for both Pokemon and Digimon they both had to start off as an idea. The idea that eventually was turned into paper and also sketches which would later go on to become a game and much more than that. Now if said evidence does come to light of early ideas on paper and early sketches that date when the Pokemon and Digimon were started that would then determine the true answer to this long argument.
I do say you did a good job of providing facts for this forum on both subjects, just try not to be biased about it and also it would better to say that the true answer cannot be determined at this time till all the evidence comes forward in the future.
OK so what you are implying is that his argument was too obvious but for what other consideration? They just feel like saying pokemon came first actual proves something, and when you tell them it doesnt.
Guys, its okay. Just look at the sonic series for example. The series creator Yuji Naka admitted that he loves mario and that he drew inspiration from the games to create sonic. He would always try to make it to the end of the levels as fast as he could. Now Sonic is a character and icon known throughout the world and has two games coming out very soon Sonic Mania and Sonic forces.
Granted even you guys have to admit that even Sonic seems more culturally significant today than Digimon. Because i didnt, literally any similarities between the two can be found it others of the same genre, there is no inspiration, you can say it all you but its not there, even in digimon modern prodecy, despite it culturally significant or popularity, is still doing what digimon has always done, just to a dark tone. Also why does it matter to people so much who came first.
I think the evidence is strong enough to suggest that the idea of pokemon originally called capsule monsters with concept art as early as note this is 7 years before anything Digimon or Digimon related was in existence came first.
Now, creatures coming from mysterious eggs is a pretty common idea in fantasy-like settings, but as the two franchises were so similar to begin with, this particular similarity is still worth pointing out. They were, however, present in the second generation of the series, which came out after the original Tamagotchi-like Digimon toys were released, which gave kids digital eggs to hatch into monsters to battle with.
This concept itself was taken from Tamagotchi, but in the case of which "Mon" series did it first, this one goes to Digimon. What does this have to do with Digimon? Not exactly the same concept, but we say it's a little too close to be a coincidence, especially since the the cover art for Digimon World featured a sun and a moon in the designs. Now, this one could very well be a coincidence, but then again, basing a creature off of a dog would be okay, but basing them off of specific breeds? That's a bit suspicious.
This very different to how Digimon are seen, as partners, with each Digi-destined only having one Digimon save for a few instances to call their own. So, there you have it. They were created and are owned by two completely different companies.
On the other hand, Digimon is a franchise that is owned by three different companies. The first owner is Akiyoshi Hongo, the pseudonym of an unknown number of individuals that actually founded the whole franchise. Toei Animation owns the animation segment of the franchise, while Bandai owns the games and merchandise department.
As you can see, there is absolutely no connection between these two franchises when ownership is concerned. But is there really enough to substantiate that claim? Well, mostly because of the name, but also because the shows started at about the same time and were a competition of sorts at the time.
This also answers the second question.
