Do you think Digimon is... A)Gay, B)Okay, C)Cool, D)Awesome, or E)don't know?

I think it's C) Cool. It is one of the VERY few TV shows I actually kick myself awake to watch, which says alot for the entertaining value of the production. However, if I were stuck in the "Digiworld" with "Digimon," I wouldn't be too eager to get home again, I'd want to stay and make friends with all the creatures I could find!!!

Incidentally, Megan, please change "Gay" to something else. I happen to be friends with a gay man and nothing pisses my circle of friends off more than to hear some immature little twit say something like "Oh, that is so gay!" Sorry to get nit-picky here, but it is one of those things that really gets under my skin. Please, please change it. Thank you.

I feel its C)Cool Finally. someone else that's likes Digimon. I'm assuming you do, Megan right? I'll admit that at first, I thought it was just a Pokemon ripoff (I hadn't even heard of the Tomagotchi game), but then the characters and highly interwoven stories drew me in and soon I just had to find out what was going to happen next. I like the colorful and crisp animation and tone of the series, although it has gotten quite depressing lately, ever since the Dark Masters story arc. It seems that a new friendly Digimon "dies" each week. its definitely more serious than Pokemon. And I for one think that you can like both and don't/shouldn't have to get into a "which is better" contest, don't you think so too?

I understand, Justice. I just here a lot of people say that it is gay so I'm sorry. Okay.. A)Bad, yadda yadda.

Wolvie- I do like it. In fact, my vote would be D)Awesome. And I agree about that Dark Masters thing... *Sniff* Pixiemon...

I kinda miss whamon myself. say, if you wanna get spoilers for futures episodes, here's a good digimon site: warning SPOILERS possible. http://www.geocities.om/TimesSquare/Battlefield/8650/seriese.htm I gotta, say I don't like what they've done with season 2 in japan

B)okay

-- Anonymous, April 21, 2000

I'd say B)okay,I also at first thought it was a pokemon rip-off but it is different(except for the sound alike name)I first saw the show cause I used to go to pokemon tournements and It was on so I thought I'd see what the rip-off was like.I kinda like it now and no I don't kick myself up to see it cuz I usually wake up around 9:oo or 8:30 and it comes on here for me around 9:30 the new ones at least.P.S does anyone know when the new MR series episodes are coming cuz I liked the show but I really don't watch it anymore cuz they stopped showing the new ones(last one was that Melcarba episode)and then they stopped showing them and I stopped watching it.

A)Gay. ..the current season of Digimon is soo frekin' gay. It's like Season one all over again. The first three seasons were great but Season 4 in my opinion totally killed it.And plus Digimon is a rip off of Pokemon but the storyline for Digimon is better. Not the same thing happens in every freakin' episode..team rocket is blasting off againnnn......yeah whatever..my ass..

-- Anonymous, August 05, 2003

I think that Digimon is A) Shitty or whatever. And yes, it IS a ripoff of Pokemon. I've seen both shows, and Digimon seriously rips it off, in fact I complained about it for over a FUCKING YEAR, DAMNIT!

Yeah, Digimons is a ripoff of Pokemon. Recently, Pokemon made a tv appearance on Good Day New York (I got it from the web site, I don't live in USA) but Bandai's web site NO LONGER contain Digimon pages! Digimons suck 100%!

-- Anonymous, October 01, 2003

So what if its a rip-off? I'm sick of hearing it. What would you rather watch? A pokemon episode that ALWAYS ends with team rocket blasting off again with a ping or a digimon episode thats different every time and actually has a better plot.

-- Anonymous, October 02, 2003

A Pokemon episode.

-- Anonymous, October 02, 2003

o god. digimon rules all. if there was a all out war with digimon vs pokemon. . you would know that digimon would blow pokemon off the face of the earth in a flash. DIGIMON RULE and shall always rule.also basically all u need to destroy all pokemon is like say 20 mega digimon or less. Blackwargreymon and Wargreymon would kill all pokemon by themselfs,SO POKEMON BLOW CHUNKS. and it is not a ripoff cuz digimon can ACUTALLY TALK, unlike pokemon

-- Anonymous, October 09, 2003

OK, your now talking to one the biggest Digimon buffs on the east coast. Heres the deal. Season 4 was the worst because Saban sold the show to Disney. But a true fan (like myself) looks beyond the show. Stop watching the show, go on ebay, buy one of the original tamogotchis, and get back to me on it's coolness. For example, did any you people know that Monzeamon was originally named Teddymon? Or that Pheonixmon was an Ultimate before Saban invented Megas? Same with HerculeseKabuterimon. What am I saying?! You people probably don't even know who they are! I mean c'mon, sooooo many of you are just show watching-wannabes. And all you girls stop saying how cool Rika is! If your looking for a cool girl character, go with season 1 Sora. She got all lame in season two. As a formality, E)Awsome. (Couldn't you guess?) By the way, does anyone know if ther'll be a season five?^_^

Ok, Orlando, you need to give much more evidence than that if you want to prove your point. I mean Digimon is a ripoff of Pokemon. I'll give you a few of my reasons, but there's much more.

1. The name was ripped from Pokemon. 2. They're monsters. 3. They come in wide varieties of sizes. 4. They fight. 5. They have powers. 6. They each have their own form of evolution. 7. There's an evil source. 8. They have human parteners. 9. How could I forget to state this reason? Pokemon came first!

Anyway, you get the point. There are many more reasons, but I don't have the time to explain everything to people who won't listen.

Ok, I've had of you, you pokemon loving loser. For your information, Digimon came first. Check the copyright dates. Digimon: circa 1992;Japan, 1997;America. Pokemon: circa 1995;Japan, 1998;America. And Digimon's growth is not set. Depending on their abilities, they can become one of 4 to 7 different digimon when they Digi-volve. And digimon actually have partners, wheras Pokemon have owners. Not only that, but it takes skill to win a Digimon battle, (at least in the video games) not a "woah, my Charizard is level 57 and your Loudred is only 38. I win" type thing. On top of all that, if you're even insinuating that theres an evil source in pokemon, I will never respect what you say as long as you live. The so called evil in pokemon is Team Rocket?! Woah, it take such amazing power to defeat to morons and their talking cat! Honestly, what's your name, Alex, if you have nothing to do except put down Digimon in a DIGIMON forum with false facts, I might add, then you have some serious bordom issues.

In short, POKEMON is the ripoff, and you are a stupid idiot. SO SUCK MY FRICKIN DIGIMON LOVIN' BALLS, YOU JACKASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I've had it up to HERE with you Digimon fanatics. I just said that Digimon was a ripoff of Pokemon, and here you are pouncing on me - ahem - attempting to pounce on me because of my fucking opinion! And you think I'm providing you with false information? LMAO, dumbasses! Team Rocket is evil, and the "owners" in Pokemon are similar to parteners! And whether it takes skill or not to win a battle is just an opinion! Furthermore, I also checked the copyright dates, and Omegapopka, you're wrong. Fucking WRONG, I tell you! Anyway, fuck off, and may you take the path to hell, where you'll bleed, suffer, and be tortured!!!

-- Anonymous, October 12, 2003

personally, my answer would probably be E)and i don't really care. But I don't think that digimon is a ripoff of pokemon. Reason, if the makers didn't call digimon digimon, nobody would bother to say, "I think digimon is a ripoff of pokemon" or any crap like that they would just watch the freakin show and shut up and be too lazy to bother with copyright laws about tv shows.

PS:don't bother to email me: alex omega-whatever (no offense) because i already have 2,000 (literally) junk email

-- Anonymous, October 12, 2003


Even though i don't agree with alex, he's right he is entitled to his own opinion. If he thinks pokemons better than digimon let him think so -_-"

Even if digimon is a ripoff, its a dang good ripoff.

Jesse and James are amusing. But they say the stupid same thing whenever they pop up and then they go off the episode the same way. And its every episode...and every new season seems to be the same except with different looking pokemon. And a slight alteration of the opening theme song.

Digimon Season One Storyline - 7 kids from summer camp are sent to a digital portal where they meet their digimon "partners". They pocess powers to use against evil digimon. The series goes on and it twists and turns

Pokemon Season 1 - Ash ketchem becomes old enough to become a pokemon trainer and gets his first pokemon named Pikachu. They set off and meet and catch some pokemon being contantly followed by team rocket that won't stop trying to catch pikachu

Digimon Season 2: New kids, new digimon, new enemies..kind of the same thing as season 1

Pokemon Season 2: Same Ash, Same Misty, Same Brock ..they go off to earn badges and such and have different enconters with new pokemon

Digimon Season 3: Digimon is now just a tv show in real life there and everyone plays the card games. Three kids some how create their own digimon and find out that there really is a digital world. Created by humans themselves until it become a childrens thing. This season has leomon die saying that its different the other seasons because he doesn't come back

Pokemon Season 3: Yep ash is still there and pikachus still there and omg team rockets still there. Still trying to get some badger or another..new pokemon..bla bla Same old thing

I'm not aiming this at anyone..

I pick C: Cool. A first I thought Digimon was going to be a rip off but then I saw it and realized a rip off at all. And in my opinion Digimon is 100x better than Pokemon. Not only is Pokemon repetitive and boring but I also don't like the idea behind the storyline. I mean Pokemon fight and get themselves hurt so there trainer can win a competition. If pokemon were actually real than that would be animal abuse. For example, Would it make sense for you to take your cute lil doggy to dog fight and make him fight another dog even though he'd probable get hurt just to win yourself a babge?

-- Anonymous, October 13, 2003

Actually, the Pokemon seem to want to fight. Anyway, I guess season two (or whichever one Davis is in) is less of a ripoff. I mean, in my opinion, Davis is less like Ash than Tai. Well, thanks for letting me keep my opinion.

-- Anonymous, October 13, 2003

Sorry not letting this die, but alex checked the wrong dates. The original Digimon are considered a completly different product than the show-based toys. Sorry not to mention it, but the only way you could have known the truth is if you had one of the tamagotchis or a Japanese peice of merchandise. Don't worry alex, you couldn't have known, so I'm not holding a grudge. No one should be persecuted because they're ill informed. AND FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, TEAM ROCKET IS THE WORST VILLIAN GROUP SINCE GIGANTOR! (Dr. Diabolic???) But, thats only my opinion. But for good measure, I still don't like you.
