DigiPost: Why Digimon is Better Than Pokémon

I'm not going to explain. This one is fairly straightforward.

1. The theme song.



Enough said. (Pokémon's theme is good too, but hey. This is better.)



2. The monsters can actually talk.

The only one of our fine pocketed monsters that can speak human (aside from Legendaries) is Meowth. ALL DIGIMON CAN TALK. BEAT THAT. 

3. Digimon don't have trainers, they have friends.

And as such, they don't attack everything they're told to. They attack for their own saftey, not for amusement.

4. Not everyone has a Digimon.

Anyone can be a Pokémon trainer, but not everyone is a DigiDestined. Your move, Ash Ketchum.

5. The names all end in "mon." And they acknowledge the fact the series takes place in Japan.

They even didn't really Americanize the names, either.

And finally, 6. They aren't stuffed into tiny balls and abused.

No forced evolutions! No Pokéballs! No Team Rocket!

I rest my case: Digimon: 6, Pokémon: 0. Game set and match.

P.S. Oh, and this picture.

Puzzle Master and Potter Disaster

First off, I'm ashamed.

No comments. No followers. I still want to be on strike, but a promise is a promise. Besides, I missed posting.

NOW ON TO THE IMPORTANT (and brief) STUFF!

First off, the movie Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva is coming to North America at long last.  The other two Layton games are coming here as well, and one can only hope that Phoenix Wright Vs. Professor Layton will also reach our shores eventually. (This may not happen at all, as Capcom has discontinued the Ace Attorney series in the USA.) That's the "puzzle master" part.

As for "Potter disaster," I write this with great pain in my heart: THE FINAL HARRY POTTER MOVIE SUCKS EGGS. I mean, they butchered the book. As usual. And they cut out Colin Creevey, but then they killed Nigel, his little brother.

R.I.P Colin Creevey, the magical paparazzi.
Yeah. So I'm p***ed off. (Hey, I censored it.) At least Neville was awesome. As usual.
There's something about a guy covered in blood with a sword that just turns me on...
