Yes! I remember being picked on so much by my friends, who were Pokemon fans just like me, but I would also fan over Digimon.I just love the concept of multi-realities, the bond between the Digi-Destined/Tamer and Digimon, and the story! A friend of mine said this “Pokemon is more popular, but Digimon had better stories” which, yes.
Also, Digicat, I really fell in love with Gatomon, heck, I even named a Pomeranian I got in high school “Sally” from “Salamon”. LOL
