True, they weren't remedial and didn't know how to fucking talk. Digimon also fucked all over Pokemon's evolutions. I mean fucking they could go back to being normal or stay like a fucking pimp.

Digimon clearly wasn't as popular hence it's not really around anymore. And the mass marketing of its products was absolute bull shit, i mean seriously, if i order the digimon move from ASDA, and athey dont have it three weeks in a row... wtf! Pokemanz were cute aswell, why i never wanted to let my pikachu and charizard toys out of my site for fear they'd come to harm. The digimon toys were over complicate dand i could never get the hand of swapping them from one form to an evolved form.
BUT, from the entertainment side i did enjoy digimon quite alot, it was more intense and had me on the edge of my seat, although not quite as comic as team rocket. Sure digimon was better... but think about it... overall, it clearly sucked compared to pokemon. Pokemon stood the test of time, all be it it's gotten out of hand with the amount of mutant animals but still, digimon faded away...

I used to think that Digimon had more interesting monsters because they could talk. But considering Pokemon was able to add character without any dialog showed more ingenuity and creativity.

THE BAD GUYS ON DIGIMON DON'T WANT TO JUST "STEAL" SOME DIGIMON, or "BEAT THEM IN A LITTLE BATTLE"
THE BAD GUYS ON DIGIMON WANT TO BRUTALLY BEAT DOWN AND TURN THE DIGIMON INTO VAPOR AND THEN MURDER THEIR HUMAN PARTNERS. NOT DEFEAT, BUT MURDER!!!!!
You say a pokemon can win a battle? Yeah he'll headbutt somebody, or maybe do a little vine whip. HOW DOES WARGREYMON BEAT SOMEBODY? HE FLIES THROUGH THEIR BEAM, INTO THEIR MOUTH, and THEN OUT THEIR BACK, ASSUMABLY TEARING APART THEIR THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, AND ANY INNARDS THAT GOT IN HIS WAY!!! THAT IS HOW YOU BEAT SOMEBODY IN A BATTLE!
Not to mention, Digimon teaches kids valuable lessons! SUCH AS SATAN! I knew absolutely nothing about 666 until Digimon taught me when I was like 8! Do kids who watch pokemon know anything about 666? PROBABLY NOT!

You're just and S&M freak from what i read there <.<
Besides, Pokemon has ratings, videos games, conventions, pokedex's, books, clothes, toys... you name it they got it. Theyre clearly better at this stuff. You just watch digimon in your basement while you're mum tries to coax you out with offers of food and day light, you're pailer than Sheamus.

I loved both in different ways.
Digimon, as Freeman has pointed out, was a tad more "grown up". The stories were darker (at least when you compare the English versions), characters were cooler and stories tended to be better developed.
Pokemon once made me cry though. Granted, I was about 13 but still. It could pull at the emotions when it wanted to and because it was often more lighthearted, it was a bit more fun.

Aw cmon Dave, Wizardmon's death was sad too Dammit, dont bring up sad memories. I think though that I was more prepared for deaths and that in Digimon. It's was darker so it didn't surprise me when they did darker things. With pokemon though, because it wasn't overly emotional, when they did do stuff, it was more effective. |

Digimon sucked because the characters were uninteresting. They were flat, had no real development other than "WE'RE SO MATURE NOW, LOL," and the character relationships weren't robust enough to give a sense that they were actual friends.
EDIT: However, that's not to say Pokemon was better. In Pokemon, the detriment was that each character had two personality traits.
Ash: Wanted to be the very best; attached to his Pokemon.
Brock: Wanted to get summa dat tittay; attached to his Pokemon.
Misty: Bitch; attached to her Pokemon.
The side characters served only as confidants and comic foils, never really standing out unless the power of love was threatened. They both sucked, end of discussion. Sorry to piss on everyone's childhood memories, but it's true.
(Though I did love the Pokemon games and cards.)
