To the untrained eye they are both basically the same thing, a character has to interract with lots of different creatures which all have different attack powers, special attacks and so on.
To my 7 year old nephew who used to be a great Pokemon fan, Digimon is the bee's knees and absolutely rocks his world, his Pokemon Red now gathers dust.
Can someone enlighten me as to the essential differences in the two, and why one should be better than the other, and what Digimon stuff I can get him for Christmas?
Thanks.

Seeing as you're looking for a sensible answer, Pokemon is an RPG and Digimon is a Fighting Tamagotchi pet.
Both are over franchised and have had various cash in's such as TV series, movies, battle cards and dodgy 3D games for homeconsole platforms.
Basically, they're different styles of game.
What you should get him for Christmas?
Is he into the games only or has he fallen for the franchise?
If it seems to be games only then don't get anything Digimon related.
It it's the franchise then anything Digimon related he hasn't already got will do.
To find out, see if he'll swap his Pokemon red game for some Digimon cards.
If he accepts then not only will you easily find him a Christmas present, you'll also have a lovely RPG to play! :-)

digimon is a basic copy of pokemon. pokemons IS better, because it has games, but all digimon has is a digivice thing that is crap.
you could of course get him a d3 digivice thingy of this other thing that is like a pokedex but different, or mabee an action figure?
hope this helped.
on anther note, little people have no taste. both tv programs are bad. next people will have card capters stuff. god i hate kid programs.

About three years, I thought. Isn't Digimon what kids get into once they grow out of Pokemon?
Digimon digi-volve, Pokemon just evolve.
I don't know what stuff you can get for either, but isn't there a Digimon PSX game?

The difference is about £6 I think.
Pokemon/Digimon/Bigconimon...same thing.
