The games are monster taming. The show, yeah, I’d agree with that. You aren’t exactly going out hunting for more digimon in the show. That’s why it was better to me. The premise was actually more complex than, gotta catch em all.

Digimon is so much better than pokemon. Besides, they were developed around the same time anyway, so it’s not possible for it to be a knock off. The ideas of monster hunting and taming isn’t exactly novel, wasn’t even original back then.
