A blog post on the Digimon website, presumably written by an automated translator, unintentionally mentioned the franchise’s main rival. This incident underscores the importance of human intervention, as it demonstrates that while technology can be helpful, there’s still value in a more personal touch.
It’s often argued that Digimon resembles Pokemon too closely, but despite their similarities, the two franchises have evolved distinctively over time. Pokemon has continued to polish its established gameplay mechanics while preserving its family-friendly vibe, whereas Digimon has taken a more innovative approach, appealing to an older demographic.
On the authentic Digimon site, there’s a recent promotion that unexpectedly acknowledges a competitor, by casually referring to “Pokémon” within a post about a new virtual pet gadget from the Digimon Pendulum Color series, upon selecting the English language option.
Digimon References Pokemon On The Official Website
The reference to Pikachu in this translation seems to be an invention, since the original Japanese text does not contain any information about the well-known Pokémon franchise associated with it. It looks like the machine translation software employed by the website made a mistake by placing Pikachu in context where it doesn’t belong.
The main audience for the official Digimon site is Japanese fans, so not every post requires a literal translation. Many items they advertise do get an international release, like the Digimon Pendulum Color toys which are sold in the U.S.A. This is more about providing auto-translate options on the site in various languages, even though they might not be perfect.
2025 promises to be an exciting year for both Digimon and Pokemon franchises. The upcoming game Digimon Store: Time Stranger looks fantastic, while Digimon Alysion will bring their Trading Card Game (TCG) to mobile devices. On the other hand, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is a cross-generation title expected to make a big impact. However, it seems that Pokemon might have an edge due to endorsements from official Digimon websites.
