Pokemon v. Digimon (Mini)

Recorded LIVE at Ravinia Brewing Company in Chicago, IL -- THANK YOU to Ravinia for letting us use their awesome space! Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/y1muEQSYwhM This week, Mucci judges which Japanese cute-monster-multimedia-franchise is better: Pokemon or Digimon. Lando makes a case for the darker storytelling of Digimon's anime, while also taking us through important moments in the history of the franchise, such as its beginnings as a Tamagotchi-like toy and its PS1 video game that sells for around $300 today. Pat advocates for Pokemon based on its massive financial success, its iconic characters, and Pokemon Go, which ate up a couple of our cohosts' time when they should have been studying for the bar. Will Mucci find that Digimon are the champions, or does he know it is his destiny to crown Pokemon the winner?
