Just found this

It's only one pic and I'm pretty sure I've just wasted a topic on it, but I couldn't find a better place for it ^^;

Wouldn´t that fall into the "What if Poekmon was like Digimon" Topic we had in the old DATS board ?

Going by the usual "Digimon is a Ripoff of Pokemon " Claims Garurumon would be Arcanine, Ikakkumon would be Dewgong and Patamon would either be Pikachu or Jigglypuff. And Kabuterimon would be Scyther ( yes, they indeed claimed that )

I wonder how much you have to drug a Meowth to get it´s pupils to widen like that.

You found it? ... I have a feeling that it's insulting Digimon... >_> Where did that come from?

*laughs* Meowth's pupils!!

Well, I found it in a collection of Pokemon-related art. It's a part of a set of 2-3 pics that make crossovers of Pokemon and that movie's poster.

I found that somewhat humorous, actually. I don't find anything insulting in it. But that may be just me ^^;

I find it very pretty xD It's well drawn at least.
But we really don't know if it's Pokemon being ripped off by Digimon or Digimon being ripped off by Pokemon, now do we?

 

[Stunt]

Funny, I seen it before I just don't remember were. Don't like it much though, it kind of ruins the Digimon name.

Oh, honestly. Pokémon was first created in 1995, I know that. When was digimon made, 1996/7/8 (not sure, somebody tell me please) so pokémon came first. Digimon was just called a ripoff of Pokémon because pokémon aired first in US and because the both end in -mon. They are almost nothing alike really, except for people with monsters who wish to get stronger. In pokémon, you collect them and try to be a master and the pokémon can't talk human (except for a few exceptions, including Meowth, Mewtwo and Lapras) while in digimon they team up with one digimon (or in Willis' case 2) and together you keep peace in each others worlds. They are really nothing alike.

Rant over.

Johnzaloog, it was actually Digimon that came first in the form of V-Pets (was it v-pets or called something else, correct me?). Digimon was just called a rip-off because Pokemon had more advertising and a bigger "fanbase".
I don't think anyone copied anyone to be honest, you can say a lot of things copied each-other just because of some similarities and coincidences.

Digimon was in the making in 1995, therefore the Mini celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Project.

Anways both Franchises belong to the Monster Genre, but are way different.

 

[gerjomarty]

Yeah, it is indeed a well done poster, seen it about a year ago now.

You could argue that both franchises were being developed at the same time, therefore at that stage one didn't have an effect over the other.

Yeah, if only the media, and all non-fans that talk about Digimon seen things the correct way.

The fact that Harley is dressed as Mimi made me laugh. That's a pretty funny picture. Who the heck is dressed as Joe though?

Doraemon? Just kidding.

Well, MugenSeiRyuu's right. Digimon started as V-Pets.

But we really don't know if it's Pokemon being ripped off by Digimon or Digimon being ripped off by Pokemon, now do we?

Since we're talking about this picture, Pokemon Adventure is a rip-off of Digimon Adventure! *laughs* Well, that's based on the logo.

Doesn't anyone think the "Pokemon" look awfully weird? Especially the Greymon-cum-Charizard. Haha! But overall, it does look good.

 

[Hagaren Gao]

The Grey-izard certaintly looks odd, and somehow Moltres just looks off. I won't even comment about meowth XD

I think Ash-Tai would have looked better without his hat as well.

 

[MugenSeiRyuu]

LOL ! I somehow think of that giant Togemon Wannabe molesting James !

Yeah, if only the media, and all non-fans that talk about Digimon seen things the correct way.

That´s really a big problem. Even good reviews of Digimon call it a Pokemon Ripoff.

 

[celestial_sacred]

I think Ash-Tai would have looked better without his hat as well.

I just realised this! When I first saw the picture, I didn't even notice Ash was drawn as Taichi... >_>

 

[jadenik]

Thats a really funny fanart.

 

[Hagaren Gao]

Actually, he doesn't horribly different...

 

[MugenSeiRyuu]

I would more say that he is dessed up as Taichi.

 

[celestial_sacred]

Um.. Well, yeah. I actually meant that. I just..didn't notice it earlier..
