At least half of these are essentially the same reason, two of them are literally the same reason:
Quote
Digimon Actually Showed That Actions Have Consequences

Most Pokémon episodes are stand alone entries. The series doesn't really have many long-running plot arcs. When Ash and company disrupt the inner workings of the Pokémon Academy, it’s never mentioned again.

Digimon never let you forget its plots. When Gotsumon and Pumpkinmon die in order to help Matt and TK, their sacrifice is remembered. Even a season later, the events reverberate throughout the show and inform the motives of the DigiDestined.
Quote
Digimon Had Shockingly Well Done Continuity

Pokémon doesn’t seem to remember huge events, especially when Legendary Pokémon threaten the planet, but Digimon actually keeps its internal continuity straight. Even with multiple separate universes, Digmon managed to tie several of these seasons together. In Season 2, Ryo shows up in a cameo that not only united the first two season’s universes, but also the Digimon video games.

In Season 3, Ryo becomes a main character, able to jump between realities. In Data Squad, it’s even implied Izzy (a character from Season 1) might have created the Data Squad universe. If Digmon can have this level of interconnectivity between seasons set in different universes, what’s Pokémon’s excuse?

JustinRPG is a musical genius. He manages to convey the struggles of the lower-middle class, not only through the lyrics, but through his beautiful autistic wails.

Used to be a roadie for this guy, would set up lights before shows and all that. Dude was usually coked out of his mind or completely smashed before he played live.

Dark Magician Girl :rejoice

I love how in the ten-years-later sequel, both Dark Magician and Blue Eyes have fairly radical redesigns with different color schemes... But Dark Magician Girl remained totally unchanged. :lol Not even a color tweak so she better matched the new Dark Magician.

Guess Takahashi considers her a perfect design, can't blame him. :obama

But no seriously: The Pokemon TCG Online client is probably one of the better ones to use. I don't see Digimon (or any other IP) allowing you to redeem Paper Boosters for digital boosters and having a relatively solid client.

From my time in lockup retail, Yu-Gi-Oh fans are way more cringe than Pokeman fans.  Still have nightmares about the crazy fuckers who would come into the store and stand there for 2-3 hours looking at single cards.   No idea about Digimon though.

Monster Rancher accepted the name "Cum Bubble" for a monster when we tried it.  Therefore, Monster Rancher is the best.

I dunno if your retail is FLGS or not, but they're notorious for stealing shit. It's why a lot of card stores no longer carry Yu-gi-oh or let them play in store.

I've never watched either of these and never got to the point in the first game to catch a Pokemans. Everything I know about these come from internet people who want to have sex with and/or be eaten by them.

Can't find the old GAF post, but searching for stuff made me remember that there once was a guy who came into the old store and stayed there for 3-4 hours, then went to the other location and stayed there for another 3-4 hours looking at loose Yu-Gi-Oh cards.  He stunk up the toilet really bad, too.

Oh man, the nightmares memories of this shit- one of the store locations used to run Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments every Saturday.  It was awful- kids running around and being stupid, along with the occasional creepo older dude, all stuff into this little store.  The place shut down in 2005 after I left the country.  Either when I came back for a visit the following year or when I moved back at the end of 2008, I remember driving by the old location and seeing a couple of the same kids and one of the adults STILL there, sitting on the sidewalk outside of where the store used to be, playing that fucking game.  That's some dedication.
