Could you please explain this? I don't understand why someone would think that, of two similar animes, the one without a plot is better.
This could go into full debate and all just a matter of opinion but what Pokemon did right better then Digimon in my opinion was that it just a great show to watch when you were down and easier to get into compared to Digimon. Every episode of Pokemon had it's own story. There was a plot to follow but you could sometimes treat it like it was an illusion. You never had to worry about missing an episode and getting lost in the story line.
Digimon's story while better, while growing up it never really threw me into an emotional state at times that Pokemon did for me. I could never erase a moment like Pikachu almost leaving Ash, Ash releasing Butterfree, That episode where the Pokemon were given hilarious subtitles to read, etc. out of my heart and sure it may have been to the fact that Pokemon came out a little over a year or so earlier then Digimon did but I can't take away anything like that from Pokemon since that WAS considered amazing for any six year old growing up like me and apart from my generation.
Digimon's story arguably became nothing (by the time I was old enough to understand what was truly going on in it) particularly in Season 2 when everything because nonsensical like how there were DigiDestined located all around the world yet they couldn't do anything about the fight with Apocalymon back in Season 1. Why?
I don't want to turn this into a debate here but I can't give Pokemon all the credit here with it's story. Pokemon became extremely repetitious and boring to watch even getting mildly interested into the story that was going after Master Quest because Team Rocket developed into a joke and filler episodes were sprouted out of the ground following each other like a mosquito infestation.
If you want to go into more detail about it you can if you like but I prefer it if everything here and everyone is to just relax and watch the whole program playthrough I'm giving to Season 1 of Digimon. Any type of discussion is allowed and I'll politely go through it with anybody for anyone that has problems of opinion and questions I'm giving here to Digimon.
