Why didn't Digimon become a classic like Pokémon?
Digimon and Pokémon were both Japanese animated works that were widely welcomed when they were released. However, Digimon did not become a classic like Pokémon for the following reasons: 1. Poor animation production quality: The quality of the animation produced by Digimon is relatively low. Some scenes and characters are even a little rough. This made its animation inferior to Pokémon in terms of visual effects and overall quality. 2. The theme is not deep enough: The theme of Digimon is relatively easy to understand. It mainly focuses on the relationship between Digimon and humans. Although these topics could attract the audience, it was difficult to become classics without in-depth discussion and thinking. 3. Slow story pace: The slow story pace of Digimon often requires the audience to spend a long time to understand the plot. This kind of rhythm might make some viewers feel bored and lose interest. 4. Character development is not sufficient: Digimon's character development is relatively simple, mainly around the protagonist. Although other characters were also created to a certain extent, compared to the richness of Pokémon's characters, their role in the story was relatively small. In summary, although Digimon did not become a classic like Pokémon, its excellent animation quality and unique theme style still made it a classic that could not be ignored.
