I would say the key difference between Digimon and Pokemon is that Digimon are based on mythical creatures and Pokemon are based on animals. I really shouldn't say "mythical creatures" I think "mythological beings" is more accurate also, depending upon your belief, some of them are based are real beings. Like angels and demons. I can't exclude deities either. The only blurring point is that some mythical creatures are animal like thus there are some similarities. Ninetails and Kyubimon being the most obvious for me. I am no Japanese expert, but I have seen Kyubi bieng translated as Ninetails.
That is also why I say each type of Digimon is one kind of gender only since there was usually only one mythological creature who was who he/she was. But I almost retract that as I type since there races of mythical creatures such as the Kyubi (another reference again) and I'm sure there is more, but my knoweldge of these are a little weak bieng so diverse.
