What part of:

They aren't magical.

Pokemon rode the success of the video games. Had the backing and push from Nintendo after it went from a low budget afterthought to one of the best selling games of the 90s
You're not wrong, except that the games were released before the cartoon.

Digimon has worse character and monster designs and more complicated story. Pokemon are generally cute and / or cool looking and to catch them all and beat all the Gym Leaders for their respective badges to then go on to challenge and beat the Elite Four and become the Pokemon League Champion are simple enough goals to aspire to that just about any kid would also be able to understand.

The Digimon Adventure anime has a kid literally hacking the world's source code in like, episode 5 or something. >_>
