Pokemon has been around since most of us here were kids; long time, so I'm curious if you ever got into heated debates over Pokemon themselves, cards, other franchises, etc.

Pokemon, both the anime and games, started airing in the States when I was in mid-middle school and it was all the rage. We loved the cards, the games, and would rush home immediately after school to watch the latest episodes. I dragged my mom to get cards (the worst ones possible too) for me to play with everyone else, etc.

But at the time, given my personality type, there was a little show called Digimon that I literally hated more than life itself because in my mind it was the "ripoff Pokemon". Despite the fact I never watched it. Oh, I hated it. I couldn't say enough bad things about it.

And one day after school, after Pokemon was over, I turned it to Fox for Digimon just to laugh at how stupid the characters looked, etc, and that damn theme song got right in my head, where I was listening to it again and again.... while still parading around the Anti-Digimon mentality persona I had at school.

And then I started watching it, from the beginning, and man, it was good. I wanted to keep watching it. I grew obsessed and I realized this actually even had a plot and characters, unlike Pokemon.

And when I grew out of Pokemon (the anime at least), I still had a soft spot for Digimon, and still it invaded my line of thinking quite a lot. I became a bit obsessed.

The dub of Digimon now is one of the worst things ever, but I can imagine if I gave it a chance in Japanese, I'd still find it pretty enjoyable.

Just hilarious that I was so adamant against it as a ripoff without ever giving it a chance, and yet I wound up liking it more.
