CAUTION: RANTING.
Are any of the rest of you tired of people comparing Digimon to Pokemon or making them out like rivals? Any sensible person who has FULLY watched both series would know that the two are so different that they're not even worth calling competitors. Then there are those nose-picking idiots who say that Digimon copied Pokemon, yet are usually the same people who collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Connect the dots.
I theorize (and will probably have a literal experiment) that the one and only reason people are even putting those two series together is because of their titles. My theory is that if Digimon was called "Guardians" or something, people would be comparing Pokemon more to its TRUE competitor; Yu-Gi-Oh. Sure both series have to do with cute little monsters. I get that. But again they're stories and premises are so different its laughable.
If Jirachi came out of nowhere to grant me a wish, I would wish that people would stop comparing these two great animes. Doing so is like comparing Sailor Moon to Chobits because "omg the main characters both have blond hair hur hur hur." rolleyes
:edit: This just in; I researched the creator of Pokemon. Very sweet man. Anyhoo, he loves games and even made his own magazine called "Game Freak." How could he feel a rivalry with something he loves? (Games?) And Digimon is more of a game than a series or trading card game. 3nodding
