Actually, Digmon came before Pokemon, and despite their names both ending in "mon" and being "pet monster" animes, along with a few times Pokemon references Digimon (Mirage Mewtwo = Apocalymon), they're nothing alike


 * Pokemon can usually either say their own names or just make vocal or creature sounds (with a few exceptions, like Meowth, Mewtwo, Lugia, and Lucario) while most Digimon can talk


 * All Digimon's names end in "mon", while most Pokemon names don't


 * When Pokemon evolve, they cannot change back. When Digimon Digivolve, they can and often have to.


 * Pokemon battles are almost never to the death, while most fights in Digimon are


 * Digimon are not kept inside Pokeballs (or their closest substitute, the Digivice that enables them to digivolve)


 * Pokemon do not come from another dimension while Digimon do (the digital world)
