Digimon has the better anime, Pokemon has the better games.
I thought this was common knowledge.

I liked Digimon Rumble Arena 2. Felt like pokemon could have done something similar in terms of a fighting game.

Pokemon is better on average but Digimon has higher peaks for me. Cyber Sleuth is just too good.

i'm not sure how it happened, but i think i made it through childhood without buying digimon games. I don't think any of my friends did either.
This is the best comparison on earth

..... No love for Monster Rancher? Anyone?
In terms of monster management, Pokemon and Digimon got nothing in front of Monster Rancher. Nothing.

Though I really loved Digimon World 2003. So I think this is the best game among all Pokemon & Digimon games. But if you talk about GAMES, it's Pokemon.

Pokemon.
Every single Pokemon game that follow the monster raising jrpg formula is good, at least. Digimon has only a couple good games and only one great game (Cyber Sleuth), in my opinion. However, if they keep improving on what they showed with CS, they might catch up after 3 new releases or so.

I replayed Digimon World this past month and I gotta say... it doesn't hold up. My 10 year old self is disappointed. I liked the level of interaction you have with your digimon, but everything else is just frustrating.
Only other game in the franchise I like is Cyber Sleuth. Can't say I have enjoyed anything else in it.
Pokémon on the other hand has consistently​ kept me interested. Even around the time I had absolutely no motivation to get into a mainline entry, which is Gen IV, I still kept up with it because of spin offs like Conquest and Mystery Dungeon.
So yeah, Pokémon wins.

huh. I didn't expect this thread to get attention again.
Pokemon Go pretty much took over the world last summer.

This post was made before XY. Pokemon anime now shits on Digimon too.
I agree with this. The XY anime is a huge step up for the series.

I don't know how you can say that. XY is ridiculously overrated and doesn't come close to the quality of Digimon Tamers, Adventure, and (I'm going to get shit for this but I think it's overlooked) Frontiers.
Yokai is the better game series and animated series.

When there's a Digimon Typing Adventure, we can have this conversation again.

Well, at least this makes more sense than that time OP made a Digimon/Mass Effect crossover:

Digimon Cyber Sleuth is what Pokemon should have become after so many iteration, and it's an incredible good game.
That said, Pk has so many games, and most of the fun to play, that I have to say is the winner here...
But D:CS is really what I'm waiting pokemon to become... a more focused story jrpg, more mature, a change in graphic design of the world... but with the freedom of the pk series.
Sooner or later...

I love people keep saying Digimon anime is the best when, we just got one of the worst anime ever made called Digimon Xros Wars: The Boy Hunters lol.
Even in the worst moment of Pokemon anime,(Black and White) It is not that bad as that season lol.
Also, Digimon had always been a very unstable franchise. Digimon 2 model was forgotten even though it is great and they give us bad Digimon 3 game which is bad. and Digimon 4 which become Gauntlet clone.
At least, Pokemon games more or less all is top quality.

Yeh, while the Pokemon anime finally has great visuals, especially with Sun/Moon, I still called it quits after a few episodes because Ash is still a terrible protagonist and the Pokemon lore and most of its storytelling is trash and will likely remain so forever.

Pokemon both in the videogame and anime realm.
All the others (Digimon, Yu-gi-oh, etc) just felt like a "me too" project.

Pokemon games are usually better and have a consistent quality, although it seems like Digimon has been steeping up their game in the last few years.
I think there is bigger potential in Digimon as a franchise, especially when it comes to storytelling. Its whole "digital" aspect is quite flexible and can push a lot of cool plots and themes.
Plus, there isn't anything like the World games. It's like the videogame version of a tamagochi.
If they manage to keep delivering a nice mix of the Story (JRPG) and World (tamagochiRPG?) series they'll win me over (more than they've already done). Latest game seem to cater to a older demographic than Pokemon, which means the game are closer to my personal tasted that Pokemon, whose dialog seems to have always suffered from thinking kids are dumber than they actually are.
PS: I need a PS4 so I can get Next Order
Let's keep the discussion focused on the games, please, since that's what the OP asked.

While Ash is still baka, i can't said i agree that Digimon is any better in any way lol.
The last season of X-ros is soo bad that it is not funny. Digimon Frontier is Kamen Rider wannabe, Digimon Adventure Tri is a blasphemy as it ruined many character for me and the art and battle ruined my brain.
A Gomamon attack able to flinch Mugendramon!!! Really now Bandai? Really?
When in Digi Adv 1 where Mugendramon single slash can kill thousand Numemon? His Single Shot can take down many ultimate level Digimon? They are killing me here.T_T
Have to go with Pokémon on this, generally more content.
Having said that, I'm playing Cyber Sleuth right now and it's so much more fun then when I played Pokémon Sun. Also, at least Digimon games are playable on a console. The handheld has really been holding back the Pokémon games, not just graphically but performance wise as well.

To be fair that was one tough Gomamon

That's some crazy thought process right there. And then I saw this comment.
And then I was like....DO IT BIOWARE. KH is a fun cluster fuck, why not a ME/Digimon crossover.....
can't be any worse than Andromeda
P.S just realized I was made into a member finally
)))Yeah. Or the story writer forget everything about Digimon 1 lol.^^
Wut? X and Y is great and now Sun and Moon anime is also top notch lol.
Digimon on the other hand just got, X-ros S3(Trash) Adventure Tri(Nostaligia shit that ruined the original even more) and Appmon lol.
I can't see how u said Pokemon is getting worst when Digimon is even worst right now,

Both Pokemon and Digimon games have amazing potential to have great stories.
Digimon attached itself to the ever changing, ever advancing cyberspace technology. The world of computers and devices and network today is so much more different than when the series first started in the 90s. There is SO MUCH you can address about social or political commentary. What I'm saying is, there's an amazing Persona game waiting to be developed here.
Pokemon for the most part sticks to relatively 'harmless' and 'edgeless' stories to appeal to a wide audience and clearly this has worked out well for them. But goddamnit I still wish they have one game, just one game where they follow the mature tone and story of the "Pokemon Adventures" manga >_< !

i posted way last year in here but i'm gonna stick with pokemon. i bought Next Order and just didn't enjoy it at all. felt like it was a waste of £40. there was some nostalgia from playing the original on PS1 but i just couldn't get into it all. i give up on digimon games.
that said, i just can't enjoy pokemon anymore. i have Sun but feel no desire to play it. hopefully they put a game out on switch and shake things up a bit.

From what I've played(uh, one), definitely Digimon, but I'm not a huge fan of either. I like Digimon's style and atmosphere way more though.

Digimon World 1 is a more a interesting game than any Pokemon game even if it's pretty janky.
I looked at one of the scenes people hyped and it looked bad, like digimon Xwars hunters bad.
Son and Moon anime looks way better.
As for games I consider Digimon World on the same level as Red/Blue.
