Is Digimon just a Pokémon clone? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post. Now, I know that Digimon and Pokémon do have some similarities, but they're also quite different. Although Pokémon did come out first, Digimon initially started out as a Tamagotchi-style virtual pet instead of as a Gameboy game. Along with this, the Digivolution process in Digimon is usually temporary, where as evolution is a permanent process in Pokémon. They also have different storylines, and obviously they have different characters. Digimon are companions too, like Pokémon are. However, Pokémon are usually caught and collected, whereas in Digimon the characters usually only have one digital monster. Digimon stay out with their companions as well, which is obviously another difference from Pokémon, who are normally caught in Pokeballs. Unlike Pokémon, Digimon are also only in the digital world. But, these are just a few differences between the two that I noticed. So even though they are similar to each other, Pokémon and Digimon are very different as well. It's honestly a bit annoying when people say Digimon is just a Pokémon rip-off when they haven't even watched it. Nevertheless, I hope this post helps you guys out some! I would also like to mention that some of this is just my opinion, so don't take it too personally!
