How did that dog fighting simulator take off as much as it did but the far superior Digimon didn't?

The collection aspect and the marketable designs. Digimon is way too varied in design and only has a select few iconic ones.

More than that, Digimon tried focusing on the actual plot and that's why they have multiple series that last 1-3 seasons. Pokemon's focused on just incrementally adding more regions to the universe to justify new Pokemon and therefore a new game, merchandise, etc. Digimon wasn't as focused on pushing merchandise or games.

It's not a dog fighting simulator. Pokemon are intelligent and willing to fight. Also, you give them commands unlike in dog fighting or cock fighting.

I don't even like the main series anymore, though. (I prefer Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.)

I dunno. Maybe not. I just want games where you actually play as a Pokemon.

This is it. As soon as the powers behind Pokemon realized what they had, they went full Power Rangers with it. It worked out for them.

Keep in mind, Digimon started out as boys tamagotchis and never had a core identity like Pokmon did, either. The show, the games, the toys, (and in Japan, the comics) had very little synergy with each other.

Most Digimon like tyranitar just use their power to level mountain and delete entire universe. Most Pokemon just overpowered animal trying to adapt in their respective environment.

Pokemon being percieved as "animals" by the fanbase (and in perhaps some official portrayals as well) is one of the reasons why I abandoned the main series.

Either way, I'm glad it exists because without it we wouldn't have Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

Pokemon designs on the whole are much stronger and more cohesive than digimon designs. They also feel like actual animals since for the most part they don't talk like digimon

Pokmon is objectively one of the best franchises in modern gaming

Digimon is something that tried to steal a gimmick and failed
