When I was little I loved digimon and even created paper dolls of the characters. I also did some for Kids Next Door and Harry Potter. That was one epic crossover.
Am back for now:P

That didn't stop people from comparing it to Pokemon in the day.

And Tamagotchi was the sh-t back in the day, yo.

I think the names alone made people compare them both.

I always thought that viewers simply comparing it to Pokemon naturally killed off.
Thinking it was too much of a cheap rip-off.

Then again they originally said that about Yu-Gi-Oh and that kept going so I'm probably wrong.

Yu-Gi-Oh is nowhere near the popularity it was back then.
