Although there are general differences between the animes the first time I watched Digimon on TV I thought immediately hey - those two animes are almost the same - the names of both of them are called after the creatures and those creatures are manually receiving orders from a human to defeat another pokemon\digimon creature and in order to beat a powerful creature the digimon\pokemon has to develop skills or evolve to another shape their form in order to win, and both of them (especially the adventure series) is an adventure in the world of the creatures to make some kind of goal, and that

The main characters both have small monsters as partners, who can evolve into bigger, more powerful monsters. In both series, these monsters are used to battle each other and serve as bodyguards for their "owners." Pokemon was always the most popular of the 2 series, but Digimon is definitely not to be underestimated and by many even rated better than Pokemon.
A good deal of people recomend these two together because they are simular. That is where it ends, they are simular, but one should expect some majorly different senarios between the two. But the simularities... training monsters, traveling, growing up... are the things that might mean if one likes one, they might like the other.

You'll probably also like Digimon if you like Pokemon and the other way around, 'cause it's about monsters and people. Digimon has a better storyline though.

We have kids wandering around having fights with their cute monsters while exploring and forming bonds with their monster partners and others around them. Of course, with Pokemon it's more slice of life in a world strange to us, while in Digimon it's more adventure mostly in a world strange to the protaganists. There are elements of everyday life/adventure in each though. Despite being quite different in some aspects, both series have a similar late 90s feel and are really fun, doing a great job at breaking ground for what were fresh franchises at the time.

They both use monsters to fight other monsters and humans take care of them. Both are kids' shows filled with drama, action and more. Those monsters become stronger, and, as they become stronger, they can turn into more powerful beasts. There's a lot of monsters in the world, but the main characters only choose a few monsters to capture.
Both have monsters that battle
though digimon has a superior story to pokemon in every way possible
They are similar because they both have monsters, and they are controlled by their tamers, both live in a world where it has countless monsters.

They are both about kids who get "monsters". And they fight against other "monsters". And the "monsters" have different levels, so they get bigger as they get better. They are mostly for kids. But both are very nice anime.

Digimon and Pokémon.. two really famous anime series all over the world. It's quite obvious really. They both contain kids with monsters, who are battling the whole day long. I'd prefer Digimon though. The storyline is better and Pokémon can get a little bit boring sometimes.
Both have fights with different creatures. Both are similarly animated with similar character designs. There is a strong sense of friendship between the monster and their owner.
Both anime have monsters battling one another and evolving to get stronger. Plus, both have an emphasis on friendship. Each monster has an owner that they have a relationship with.

Pokemon Advanced and Digimon are both about the symbiotic bond between humans and their intelligent "monsters" and the trials and tribulations that they go through. Neither of these series is extremely plot-oriented, but prefer to show the characters' daily lives through repetitious battles. Both strongly point out the importance of friendship and team-work, but sometimes border on being too moralistic. It's almost a given that you'll love one series, if you were a fan of the other.

Both of these anime have Male leads and monsters as friends who battle at their side, while Pokemon is more catch em all of monsters and has no deaths and Digimon has only one partner and showcases "deaths" but on a none traumatic way of showing it, both of these animes have Monsters, Battles, friendship and finding your destiny!!!

Although these two series often had a playground rivalry and many claimed the other a simple "rip off"; these two predictably have a lot of the same strengths and appeal. If you were smart and didn't buy into any of that nonsense, it was very possible to be an avid fan both without tearing down the other. If you have always been a fan of one yet never tried to other out of some odd sense of franchise loyalty, I implore to at least give other classic "Monster Raising" anime a shot!

Both anime have monsters that are like pets. Both Pokemon and Digimon have their "master".
Pokémon and Digimon are similar in fighting alongside monster buddies. The humans are the trainers. The monsters are the pets.
A world with monsters, using your own monsters to fight with anothers monsters, really addictive
Both are shows from the late ninety's. They have a group of kids with creatures who accompany them on their adventure. They do battle with said creatures.
