Report Abuse. they came out the same year but in different forms. Pokemon came out as a video game/ television show. digimon was made as a virtual pet that can connect to other digimon to battle. the show came out 2 years later.no one copied anyone, especially since the differences in the show were very apparent since day 1. pokemon has always been pretty strait forward storys.eport Abuse. First of all Pokemon may have come first but Digimon was not based on Pokemon despite the likeness everyone is pointing out and second of all it's not a rip-off if its an improvement like the original V-pet which is a tamagotchi the V-pet's were digimon then the show came out.
