- Digimon lives in Pokémon's shadows but I really think the Digimon anime is way better than anything Pokémon has put out in the last 2 decades.. please don't hurt me for saying that...

What's your fav Digimon game?!
PalWorld
The TCG
Survive.
2003...Played the living shit out of it and 100%ted that fucker as a kid! I even farmed every legendary weapon for the epilogue fight...
The OG Digimon World for the PS1, one of the best monster taming games I've ever played.
Compared to almost all other tcgs digimon card game is one of if not the easiest to get into
Gonna give it a real try this week!
I think it is way easier than you think. I find it really easy to get into it. But well I played YGO awhile, so everything is easier 😂
@JerryMeehanJr I'm not biggest fan of Digimon, but I LOVE the TCG. I've never been as invested in a TCG until Digimon and I've been playing TCGs since the 90s. Its simplicity is actually what got me into the game. It has advanced quite a bit since I learned, but it's nowhere NEAR as annoying as trying to get back into YGO after being away for years.
@SB0083 oh wow that’s wild to hear I’m gonna give it a try
Digimon is by far my favorite TCG, but it’s a good bit more difficult than the Pokemon TCG. It’s comparable to Edison YuGiOh
Dont forget that Tai and Kari suffer from parental neglect that caused their mom to quit her job and love bomb them while their dad doubles down and works overtime.
not to mention Kari almost died because Tai asked her to play soccer on hot days when she had a fever. The mom got so angry and slapped Tai so hard.
bandai just doesnt give justice to this amazing IP
I remember running into The Digimon Movie by accident when I was little. There was a big T-Rex and giant parrot fighting each other and some kids blowing into a whistle to help Greymon. I had no idea what I just walked into I just thought the animation looked awesome. Hahaha!
That movie was so sick the soundtrack was crazy too
It truly was! I had a few songs (including the theme song) on my old iPod.
@Bluus_Sky that’s awesome
The fact that Toei Animation, the company that makes Digimon, "kinda forget" that the franchise exist doesn't help.
They only started to remember after the first Digimon hit the 20th anniversary and goes "Oh yeah, We do have this franchise".
Yup! I started the 2020 “reboot” and it’s hard to watch knowing the og exists. But hey at least we are getting “new” stuff
Actually, the company that owns the Digimon Franchise is Bandai Namco, who seem to be stumbling trying to figure out what to do with digimon but at the same time just not giving the franchise any money or marketing. its ridiculous
@@fakesru1234 completely agree but on the other hand, I do also appreciate bandai still occasionally focusing on the fans that grew up with the series instead of exclusively trying to bring in new fans. There's gotta be a healthy balance of the two
Digimon is amazing, but man is the franchise IP mishandled. Bandai Namco just refuses to give proper funding or do better promotion/marketing
Yea it’s really sad
I’ll probably get shot in the foot for this, but I love both Pokémon and Digimon I grew up with both 😏🧐
I love both too.!!
Same tbh
Same but in my older age PKMN isn't as good and is a copy paste game
You are in good company
Same
That watch Yu Yu Hakusho comment at the end. XD
👉💥
i feel that
literally any store walk in You find minimum 10 things of pokemon
but i can only name 1 digimon item and that's the tcg they have snd not very many packs
The tcg is really great though.
Non obnoxious animation storytelling/rant channel? Legendary small channel pull, subbed.
Hellll yea brother thanks for subbin 🤝
I grew up with both pokemon and digimon and I love them both equally to this day
Got to support my fellow digidestined
Hahaha yes thank you 🤙
The card game is actually pretty easy. I’m the stupidest guy I know and I play it. It’s also pretty cheap, it’s starting to get expensive but for now it’s pretty cheap
I like the digimon tcg more than pokemon tcg
Gonna have to give it another try
@@JerryMeehanJrthere is an app called digimon card game tutorial app for iphone and Android that helped me and I hope it helps you too.

By second try do you mean the one that came out in the early 2000s or the one that came out recently in 2020? Because they're basically completely different games.
@@fakesru1234There was another one?
Omg I completely forgot about that Sora backstory like WHAT-
Wait, was that actually true or did he just make that one up?
@@laneyl2784 the rest were true so I assume so
@@ninjajack6457 the rest were true, but this one isn't. It's definitely not true in the original, and I'm pretty sure it's not implied in the dub. Her dad is just never around because he's always teaching, and so she's raised by her mother, who she felt cared more about their family's heritage than herself.
@andrewsheiman8574 I made it up lol
Ok, i agree with most things said here. I feel like pokemon is more of a product nowadays with the people behind it more concerned about making money before anything else. Digimon on the other hand as always been able to tell interesting stories through it's anime and has produced games of somewhat consistent quality! Also , i wasn't expecting you to mention yu yu hakusho, one of my favorite manga, holy smokes!! You just earned a subscriber
Yup it definitely feels like that specially when you see some Pokemon collabs they make brands use the regular pictures there’s no artistic freedoms but Digimon I see the craziest art. Yu yu hakusho was one of my fav anime’s growing up!! Thank you for watching and subbing!!
I love digimon. It's a shame it doesn't get all the love it deserves, but it has it's niche.
Lmao I was really trying to figure out where this was going and then dropping Yu Yu Hakusho at the end was hilarious
I’m glad someone enjoyed that lol
Yay somone loves Digimon
Hellll yea brother 💜
Digimon has always been better than Pokemon. But Pokemon is global, and Bandai holds Digimon by a leash that's way too damn tight.
Digimon was so cool!!
I always wondered about that one episode with those tadpole people and Kari... did they just skip going into that storyline.. ir was it edited iyt of the English version??
But omg xD Yu Yu Hakusho got me!!!
Legit share your taste in anime lol
Omg remember that episode I have to look into that! Also you’re the only one to mention yyh hahaha thank you for watching till the end!
Digimon is ace ❤
I grew up with both digimon and Pokémon as a kid and over the years I grew to like digimon way more than Pokémon especially when at least digimon changes it up from season to season and gives you different protagonists from the get-go..... Pokémon meanwhile we're stuck with ash for 27 years he gets a bunch of easy victories when we get to the easiest league in the franchise and the easiest battles he's ever had in his final tenure and now we finally get new characters but I don't care for any of these new characters now. Plus digimon has a monster that's literally nothing but guns and it looks cool and it has sexy waifus in it, including Angewomon lol.
Lmao yes all of this
Oh boy you’re almost at 2000subs ! Jerry Jerry Jerry ! #wulffdendad
Almost!
And remember boy, the season 4 of Digimon they basically face to face with LUCIFER lol
Omg what
And in season 5 you got a guy running around punching digimon in the face to make his Agumon digivolve.
Digimon is my favorite franchise
i 100% agree the games and animes have been vastly seperier to pokemon with more depth and more risk with more verity to each of its season less rince and repeat as pokemon dose
NO MORE DEX CUT IN ALL THE FUTURE POKEMON GAMES!
Savers es bueno hasta el último arco v:
Never Poke a Digimon #wulffdendad
Issue with digimon is the one offs, milking nostalgia, forgotten or wrong turn story plot
And bandai not properly treat it at all sadly
Yup 👆
It’s because digimon fell off like I said after season 3 they don’t have real faith in the franchise like they should. The tcg sells out all the time at targets by me so obviously people want more Digimon content. The reboot remake thing wasn’t the best. I wish they would’ve just kept the og series going
@@JerryMeehanJr I disagree I think that Digimon at it's best should explore a wide variety of themes, stories & characters. I feel like pigeonholing the franchise to just the Adventure continuity would'vd led to the same issue you had with the Pokemon anime with Ash and how the story just never ends. There something I really apperciate about how the shows were just allowed to end.
And also like the original series has gotten tons of love. (Some would say to much love even.) Like there been multiple continuations of the original in the last 10 or so years. (Tri, Last Evo Kizuna, 02 The Beginning.) That way more than anything else in the franchise.
What makes you think you need to defend it? it's dope. And doing excellent imo.
Rambles about how Digimon is a better show than Pokemon
Ends the video telling you to go watch Yu Yu Hakusho
Based my guy
Whoa whoa whoa the Digimon Card Game 2020 is really easy to play, cheap to get started, and one of the best designed games because of the memory tracker. Ill teach you how to play. Its not that hard. Its AMAZING
Gonna give it a try!
Yeah a lot of this is common knowledge in the Digimon fanbase. Digimon is the better story while Pokemon is more marketable and easier to get into. A lot of the flaws with Digimon lie with it's lack of a combat system like Pokemon. This is why the Pokemon card game and the video games took off. The rpg like structure of the combat allowed for kids to play along and engage with the show as well as their friends. Digimon didn't have that. Whatever they had didn't make sense in the games or card game and it didn't carry over into the show. Zatch Bell actually solved this problem funnily enough but I don't think the owners of the franchise cared about it enough to improve things.
The digimon tcg is easy to learn I can teach you if youd like
It's even easier to get into if you played Duel Masters because they are pretty much same
The new digimon tcg is really good.
Hey!! Digimon frontier is good too, there is a kid who died in the real world and in the digital world is an enemy, duskmon or something, the Sentai power rangers style is very underated :)
Great video, more weeb content haha 😂
I haven’t watched frontiers but that sounds crazy lmao and thank you more weeeb content coming soon!
Man you remind me of Jaiden! Heck this video is better than unlucky Jaiden's!
Cold sides of pillows and luck for both of yas!
Also nice short and simple! It's like eating a nice quick snack!
Love to hear that and love cold sides of pillows hahaha thank you 🙏
Me with medabot
Me too
YU YU HAKSHU 👍🏼
Jaden Animations needs to watch this video
That would be the day 😁
DIGIMON MY GOAT
🐐🤝🐐
Eh. The Digimon card game ain't that hard to play. I mean, sure, it's gotten really complex over the years, but the core basics are very easy to understand. There are a few videos that are extremely helpful in showing the more complex parts, but it's no Yu-Gi-Oh. I know a lot of people are scared of it eventually reaching Yu-Gi-Oh levels of convoluted, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. The Digimon TCG has basically already implemented every possible weird gimmick from the series, so the feature creep is probably gonna slow down significantly now. The only remaining thing I can think of that's missing in the card game is Appmon, which will probably work similar to DNA digivolution and digixross.
But yeah, digimon is great. Adventure, tamers and data squad are peak fiction
Also digimon original ost is digi-masterpiece.
to be honest digimon was my second anime after dragon ball and later pokemon and i agreed digimons characters have a more deeper history than pokemon i mean pokemon is not bad but.... seeing the same kid for over dont know how many season and still being 10 years old i mean seriusly?? if he was a least 16 when is was over i would accept it but well about the digimons games i almsot played all of them (except decode and survive i kinda scared of that one ) and i like the desing of the digimon they unique plus they an revert to a small form when you want to carry arround you cant carry a charizard in your arms unless you superman well each side have their good points
Hell IV said for a while now with Pokemon lacking in innovation or polish as the last few felt like cashgrabs like Scarlet and Violet were severely rushed out and sword and shield were way to short games like pal world I called would be big compition as well as that doli v game coming out
Yup those games felt empty to me very sad even d&p remakes were bad
@@JerryMeehanJr don't think they were terable but it was the first time we lacked features from the 3rd version of the game being plannium
Now I want a 5ft Agumon Squishmallow and I know we will never get it. Thanks! 😢
Also AGREE!
🥺
I mean a botamon would be better
Great video🌻
even with the "weakest" show of the bunch like anything after Savers(Data Squad for english localization). still leagues and miles above pokemon tbh.
I agree. Digimon was never afraid to try new things to varying success.
Pokémon anime has quantity and consistency while Digimon animes strives for quality and inovation.
the cardgame is one of the easiest cardgames top learn how to play, give it a shot its rly fun
Every time I go to target in hopes of getting packs they’re sold out
@@JerryMeehanJr To buy packs try finding a local games store / local tcg store. They usualy sell packs for cheaper than major retailers and host events frequently, there are some events called tamer parties aimed to play casualy and help new people learn the game. Theres also 2 online simulators now, project drasil and DCGO
@@JerryMeehanJr idk if my other comment got deleted so il just type it again youtube woes
To buy packs or decks i recomend finding a local games store or local cardgame shop, they usualy have things at lower prices than big retailers. They also have communities for the game and host events like tamer parties wich aim to help newcomers into the game and to play more casualy. Aditionally there are also online simmulators for you to be able to learn how to play the game without needing physical cards
@@JerryMeehanJr sadly Bandai is like this (I hate them)
It seems like there’s a great tcg community for Digimon! I actually live in nyc there’s a few trading card stores near by that host events so I’m gonna try the simulator and build a deck and try it out!
jerry.. this is a kids show..
A DAMN good kid's show
Second!!!
Digimon World (1) is the best worst game I've ever played. I'll NEVER SELL IT
lmao thats what I've seen online about it and why I went with DW3
Absolutely hard disagree on the card game. Easiest tcg I've picked up. The tutorial app is actually good
Yes gonna try to relearn it!
Digimon lost to Pokemon purely because its lows are catastrophic, and said lows happened at 2002 rather than 2013 (or 2019 if you like the 3DS era of Pokemon).
Frontier still damned Digimon for all eternity. Savers/Data Squad was competent but at the end of the day was very basic shonen from the mid 00s with the Digimon name, Xros Wars did whatever it wanted to its own detriment, Hunters was the timeslot filler add-on to Xros Wars, Appmon has one of the worst starts in Digimon history, only rivaled by a dubious Adventure reboot, and the less said about modern Adventure as a whole the better, and finally Ghost Game has the Savers/Data Squad problem of being "good but not good enough", but instead of being too basic being its death sentence, it has no plot - only body horror.
Digimon Tamers: PEAK
Digimon Adventure (1999): Classic
Yeah don't watch Digimon Adventure 02... It's not good compared to the original or Tamers.
Both series deal with heavy emotional stuff and darker stuff.
I didn't know that Digimon gods have NewYork accent.
..
Lame jokes aside, as a stupid 30 yr old guy who loves pokemon... i think digimon is the the better franchise.
Digimon cyber sleuth is the pinnacle of turn-based/ creature collection games.. and all pkmn games can suck it.
..
Best wishes
Aayyy I’m digivolvin here!!
Cybers sleuth was awesome!!
armor digivolution😂
Digimon is a GREAT franchise owned by a BAD SHIT company, like seriously bandai can we actually get new digimon anime stuff and anything that is not tcg and p bandai?!
@@kira516 truueee
I wish I could say I like Digimon more. But, the digimon being sentient always felt awkward to me.
Pokemon being my little pet and adventuring with him. Yeah, that's alright.
Grown ass woman with wings needs a 10 years old boy to tell her when to shit and go to sleep... yeah, not my fetish.
That, an I feel Ash's pokemon have much more personality than any pre-Shoutmon digimon partner. Which is weird considering their are, again, sentient.
I still love digimon and I Will grind the hell out of every game just so I can thrust my face against leomon's pecs.
Next order is my favorite. It's a horrible grinding game with horrendous story but raising the digimon is fun... and I need to clean less shit.
Next would be digimon dusk, again, lots of digimon, a lot of grind, blah blah.
I wish we could have a Stardew Valley kind of digimon game, or monster rancher. Just me raising my digimon and improving the town/city.
Really, if you think team Aqua and Magma are ridiculous, you certainly haven't read any single digimon story.
Grinding face against leomons pecs hahaha
No matter how you spin it, Pokemon and Digimon can both be used for gross things. Digimon however are not “real” like a Pokemon is. A Digimon is technically just data even tho it seems like an animal or something like Pokemon. That’s what I remember them being idk if that’s changed but it’s basically a virtual thing. Again I really think just those first 3 seasons do the best job out of all their anime’s.
@JerryMeehanJr ohhh you didn't play the games, right. Uhhh... in digimon world and digimon world next order, you actually have to take your digimon to do their "necessities". So, yeah, you clean their shit. Those are the games. And in the games, the villains seem to be rather silly despite the terrible stuff they do.
And I do think the digimon anime quality varies a lot depending of the aspect and the generation. 1 to 3 are good, but I do think people miss how well worked digimon characters are in frontier, saver has a nice drama, and Xcross wars and it's sequel gave us the best digimon partners.
Like I said, my main issue is partner digimon being such accessory to the protagonists when they are supposed to be sentient beings, their own character, but most of them fall flatter than many pokemon.
Also, even tho digimon are made of Data... they still interact with humans as if they have purely physical bodies. I mean, they destroy buildings and such... ans they also did their necessities in the first digimon anime.
Really I thought that outside of Pikachu and Meowth that most of the Pokémon were pretty bland. Also the fact you have god like creatures like MewTwo getting caught by 10 year olds is lame especially since you have to order them around and for the most part are kept in pokeballs.
@melissamurray8307 lmao this is true catching god like Pokemon at 10 is a little nuts
126th
I think Tai and Kari have A LOT more issues than you mentioned. Tai, please save yourself from your crazy sister.
What?
Digimon is the best monster battle series ever, Also, Renamon FTW!
HEY! Listen the tcg is easier than Yugioh that's for sure haha
Gonna definitely learn it lol
@@JerryMeehanJr
The app does a great job teaching it! I;ve been playing for 2 years and I really love it.
@bauer0788 that’s awesome to hear I’ll download the app and try it out. I’ve been playing ptcg for maybe 6 years now off and on which I love but have always wanted to try Digimon tcg I buy packs and am like wtf is this haha
@@JerryMeehanJr
Sweet! Best of luck to ya!
First
This is irrelevant in Asia, the difference in art style is clear and the themes is obviously separate. Fans jump the gun because it is marketed as Pokemon in the west.
Evolution localized into "Digi-volve", "Child" and "Adult" level into "Rookie" and "Champion", the god-awful Digi-Rap, the god awful new ost, the god-awful censors...etc
OK, but you don’t like Pokémon
I love Pokemon. I have a gengar collection lol
@corinnepace3683 people can love both pokemon and digimon,so WTF,I don't think you understood the video very well,I don't remember him every saying he hated pokemon
@eeveefennecfox thanks I love Pokemon actually haha I have a huge collection of gengar cards and other stuff. Appreciate you watching!
@@JerryMeehanJr that's so cool ^o^ will you show off your gengar cards sometime? I'd love to see that
@eeveefennecfox eventually!
I feel like Digimon could have been so much bettet if it tried to keep everything connected. In Pokémon, everything feels cohesive. Its one world and no game or anime does something that feels like it contradics what you know from other games/shows.
Digimon however goes full on Multiverse and each game/anime rewrites the fundamentals of the universe itself. Even the recent movies, which are a continuation of the adventure anime, are full of inconcistencies and retcons.
Also there is no mainline series with the games. Digimon World 1-4 are completely different genres. There are multiple games like World 1 or the Story games, but nothing is really established.
Also the new TCG is a blast. What are you struggling with? If you have questions, I would be happy to answer.
Exactly it’s very convoluted and would do well from a main line series that keeps everything connected and considered canon. I watched the “reboot” show for 4 episodes and shut it off. There’s just too much going on that doesn’t make sense.
The tcg I gave a chance with buying cards but I read them and am like wtf is this haha I’ve played the tutorial but that was it. Going to give it another go since everyone is saying it’s super easy
I like it has many multiverses. If you don’t like one like say Frontier, you may like Tamers.
@@melissamurray8307 While I won't deny the upsides, Digimon just goes too far.
They change the fundamental rules of the world. In Adventure, the digital world was a manifestation of the human made network, a byproduct nobody knew about. In Tamers, it's was created on purpose by a few scientists. Later its a parallel world that just happens to overlap with human technology, allowing Digimon to cross over, in Survive its literally a Yokai Realm.
In Cyber Sleuth, Digimon couldn't just travel between worlds, they needed a specific time-space-anomaly or otherwise they couldn't exist in a non-digital environment. A problem that was never present before.
Also they never build on top what they have.
We will never learn more about the dark ocean, about the ancient digimon and the digimentals. What the "-mon" in every name even means. Yggdrasil and Homeostasis. The role of Gennai, the four Sovereigns, the angels and the god they serve or the Anubismon and the cycle of rebirth(another fundamental rule of the universe that just changes how the plot needs it).
It feels more like they use it as an excuse to make up stuff and ignore the lore they already have. They just create another universe with another Yggdrasil and another Royal Knights for fanservice and it has nothing to do with anything you knew before and can(or rather WILL) contradict it.
Sorry for the long rant, but it just annoys me.
For me its lazy writing and ignorant towards the established fans. We are already a small fan base, why divide it even more?
Hard disagree with this entire video
In what way?
Thanks for the hard view tho 🤝
I was a fan of digimon tcg intel I saw hydramon card 🥲
