You have to admit that the Pokemon game developers did a pretty smart thing by taking something that worked well enough and slowly improving (Or at least adding) to it.
That's the problem with Digimon games in my mind. The developers create something that isn't perfect, but with a little bit of polish it could become something that brings in fans and non-fans alike. For a reason beyond me, they decided instead to create an almost entirely different game for each sequel.
You don't gain a fan-base by radically changing the formula for every game. McDonalds didn't become the most popular fast-food joint by serving hamburgers one week and bicycles the next. Sure, Pokemon made some radically different games, too. Pokemon Snap, Pokemon TCG, Pokemon Stadium, and Pokemon Pinball just to name a few, but at least they were all separate games. If Digimon games want to succeed, they need to figure out something that works and run with it for a while.
