I remember posters from anime magazines from the late 90s and early 2000s showing Pokemon squaring of against Digimon. At one I thought Digimon would totally kick the a- of Pokemon. But in the end, Pokemon has more presence worldwide than Digimon would ever have. But, I have respect for both franchises.
 
Anyone know of such poster, I’ve mentioned? Or something like that?

Well Pokemon’s long rival. Is Digimon in a way both could never prosper without the other. But Pokemon has been lasting a long time and it keeps going. Digimon I don’t know if it’s still around or what.

Curious to know the secrets of Pokemon’s success over most other “monster” franchises are. Probably many factors.  
Pokemon did have numerous other rivals in the past and even now. Monster Ranchers, YuGiOh, Duel Masters, etc.
 
While were at. What do you think the IP that EA was rambling about, being a “rival to be” franchise that they’re going pit against Pokemon? Whatever it is, I think its foolish for them, a FPS/Sports game company, to compete against GameFreaks on that field.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Somehow I find it a little doubtful. Contests are… I dunno. A bit too complex, I guess.
 
The two big complaints about Contests are these:  
  • that they’re often more about the luck of the RNG instead of strategy  
  • that they require raising Pokemon almost exclusively for Contests only
     
    The former I never encountered much (since I never tried Contests too much) but the latter is big, big, big-big. If you ever went into a Contest and your Pokemon had a typical moveset for battling or something, it was doubtful you were going to do well. So you had to either take a hackwrench to your Pokemon’s moveset, thus making it less useful for traveling, or you had to train new Pokemon specifically for Contests and Contests only.
     
    To be fair I only ever tried Contests in RSE (I never bothered with Super Contests), but I think the problems are generally the same.

Contests were great fun in gen 3 and offered a strong new element to the game, allows you to train different Pokemon in different ways.  
In gen 4 they screwed it up by adding a pointless dancing part for the sake of there 3 parts to it.

If Gen 1-4 = Japan, Gen 5 = Murica, and Gen 6 = Europe.
 
Then Gen 7 = Africa, Gen 8 = China/South East Asia, gen 9 = Canada, Gen 10 = South America, Gen 11 = Down Under, Gen 12 = USSR, gen 13 = India, Gen 14 = Antarctica.

Which reminds me, why haven’t we started exchanging codes?
 
I have only a small number of pokemon I would want, but I’ve been slowly helping my roommate fill out his pokedex by getting him dream-world only pokemon here in gen V.
