While Pokémon may be the more well-known animal-companion-battling franchise, it is certainly not the only one. People who grew up in the 1990s likely remember another contender for their attention alongside Pokémon, a series called Digimon. While Digimon certainly never replaced Pokémon, it did develop its own following of people who praised its differences from the other series, and still has fans around the world today.
