Anime 527 Pokemon Userrecs

Although there are general differences between the animes the first time I watched Digimon on TV I thought immediately hey - those two animes are almost the same - the names of both of them are called after the creatures and those creatures are manually receiving orders from a human to defeat another pokemondigimon creature and in order to beat a powerful creature the digimonpokemon has to develop skills or evolve to another shape their form in order to win, and both of them (especially the adventure series) is an adventure in the world of the creatures to make some kind of goal, and that kind of goal is mostly the differences between the stories.  

both main characters are stubborn, both involve battling and monsters. 

This series has the same form: A boy who wants to be a champion on some leagues, that meets his non human partner on the first episode, some guys who are supporting him, they both live only with their mother, a group of guys who wants to steel Pokemons/medals (such as Robrobo group/team Rocket) and the most important - the leagues. 

Both invlove a variety of bizarre creatures that do battle and are based on video games. Monster Rancher's quite a bit darker than Pokemon, but still primarily directed at children. 

When I first started watching One Piece I thought "wow, this is like a mixture between DragonBall and Pokemon." - main characters are similar (kinda slow, don't give up, their hats, their hopes & dreams) - strong theme of friendship, dreams and never giving up - similar art style and very similar music - lots of travelling and seeing new places - each new crew member in One Piece is like a new Pokemon or team mate is Pokemon If you like Pokemon you will hopefully like One Piece and vice versa 

These shows went hand in hand in the 90's and early 2000's as the go to popular children's anime both containing a plethora of amazingly designed monsters with beautiful art styles and character designs. Both shows follow young protagonists who battle/duel opponents with these monsters and aim to be the best in their field. They both have huge multi-media influence with masses of video games, card games & movies spawned from the original shows. The art style, characters, OST, humour & world building are all top notch in both of these classic shows. 

Naruto is about a Ninja who is looked down on because he had the Demon Fox sealed inside of him. He progresses afterwards so he became famous in his home town. It's similar to pokemon because Ash wasn't good when the series started. He just had patience and was not lazy to achieve his dream, just like Naruto 

Both iconic children's anime from the same era who feature young heroes who ally with their respective monsters and battle alongside them against various friends and foes.  

While Pokemon is an older show, both feature very young adventurers setting out on a journey. 

If you enjoyed Pokemon as a kid and you are looking for an entry level anime that is fun to watch with a tad more maturity and with a similar art style, then Soul Eater may be for you. Similarities: -Both of these shows are shounen -Both have battles/action regularly -Both are set in an alternate world to our own -These two shows have similar characters (Black Star = Ash, Maka's father = Brock, etc...) -They have similar driving themes -Both showss have characters with ridiculous names (ex: Black Star, Death The Kid, and Soul Eater Evans in Soul Eater; Brock, Professor Oak, and Misty in Pokemon) -Both have filler episodes Differences: -Soul Eater has a style that uses toon-like graphics and ridiculous physical features and facial expressions -Soul Eater is slightly more mature (has blood, mild nudity, and swearing) than Pokemon -Soul Eater has a tad of fan service, Pokemon has none -Soul Eater has a more comedy, Pokemon has similar comedy but lacks any "adult" comedy -Soul Eater is a teenage to adult show, whereas Pokemon is a kids' show  

Kids - heroes of the anime - are collecting magical creatures and fighting a group of bad guys that keep getting in their way. The creatures can either level up or otherwise get stronger and continue fighting each other. 

Shounen clearly made for younger children Bright colorful art based of Nintendo game 

Both of them are based off of a video game and they are both about a boy who learns more about his animal type friends and they both have alot of action in them. 

In both animes, the main characters collect monsters to defeat other monsters on their journey. Also they have to defeat bosses. Persona 4 is a much darker anime though And finally both are amazing video game series  

Both main characters have sidekicks that aren't human. They meet them at the beginning and fight together as partners. 

Both are mid/late-90s adventure anime about a group of friends travelling to accomplish a goal and their shenanigans along the way. They've even pursued by some bumbling villains along the way. Slayers has more serialized story episodes than Pokemon does, but the episodic episodes in Slayers are enjoyable in a lot of the same ways that Pokemon is. 

Same vibes where the main characters are very similar. Although the premise of [C] might be dark, it's actually full of hope just like Pokemon. The main character Yoga is like Ash in a lot of ways. He also has a pokemon, in which it is termed as an "asset" in the world of [C]. Msyu is the said asset, who acts just like the pokemon Pikachu. Pikachu though the cuddly and cute-looking one, is actually the one who has a deeper and more human-like personalities than the humanoid Msyu. Both are very DEEP. 

Both stories are about kids, cute & powerful creatures and adventures. 

In Cardcaptor Sakura; They have to capture cards In Pokemon; They have to capture pokemons 

Okay most people have already recommend both of these but it was something else I noticed that was similar again both throw balls that have monsters in them. 

Both are shows targeting mainly on kids. The main hero is a young boy who obtains some creature/hero contained in some device (pokeball/disk) and battles with said creature/hero against other device owners. 

Young boy catches warious monsters, stores them in portable device and then lets them out when needed. Both are episodical anime for kids. 

Both are based around notable video game series from Nintendo that tell their own stories within their worlds and have a focus on humor and what day to day life is like in those worlds too. 

Both are aimed at a younger audience, and both have humans taming/training/ battling with a form of monster. 

Both classic monster battling franchise series. Both have younger characters that battle each other with amazingly designed monsters. Both series monsters are kept in objects (balls/cards) and released by the characters for battles. Both have iconic monster and character designs.
