Digimon

Digimon (Digital Monsters) A very good Japanese TV series and trading card game featuring some really cool monsters called Digimons. I liked the newer series's though I found the fact that the characters had the Digmon cards themselves a bit weird but it was good none the less. To some it was better than Poke'mon which actually came out AFTER Digimon was released in Japan. The movie was extremely cool and was done in such a way that seemed more real than the Series, not in the graphics or anything but just seemed... More real I suppose is the only way I can describe it? Anyway, the Digmons looked extremely cool with different stages of development and could temporarily 'Digivolve' into a more powerful form and unlike Poke'mon a lot of the monsters had weapons like arm mounted rocked launchers which made it a lot cooler to watch. Digimon was definitely my favourite trading card game (before I began collecting Magic the Gathering anyway) and I still have some of my favourite cards now. The Digimon series also produced a few video games which I never really played but I expect were quite good.
