Starting as a way to capitalize on the other massive trend of virtual pets, Digimon didn’t take long before it became what is probably one of the biggest Pokémon rip-offs in existence. Digimon is about digital monsters (get it?) that come in contact with kids who then help them defend their world from evil forces. These Digimon have the ability to evolve into bigger, badder creatures to help them fight. Sound familiar?
It’s almost as if Digimon wears its Pokémon plagiarism on its sleeve. Look at the name! They’re pretty much saying if you like Pokémon, come check us out! Then throw in a ton of adorable monsters that evolve into other forms and are cared for by a group of kids, and you get a recipe for a cash cow built on a pile of unoriginal ideas.

most iphone apps are digimorphic. (i.e. angry birds, four square, unblockme) . They would have been much less interesting as a board game had they not become digimorphic.

Get the digimmersed mug.An incredibly high class anime television series. This show is the eighth series of Digimon, and is a reboot of the original series, which premiered in 1999. It has shown a lot of promise so far, along with multiple elements that have received criticism from fans. For example- the appearance of Digimon of high evolution stages in some of the first episodes, such as Omnimon's early entrance to the series. There have also been numerous back to back episodes that were mainly fight scenes, which some fans disliked.
Due to the fact that it is a reboot of the 1999 series, the original digidestined are the current main characters! This series is not exactly a remake of the original, however. Some elements have been changed- whether this was for the better or not is up to each viewer's interpretation.
Overall, the series has been a fun watch. Consider checking it out. :)
Then watch every other season of Digimon.
