There have been similarities between thePokemonandDigimonfranchises for a long time as both have powerful monsters that transform, and the parallels continue withPokemon Scarlet and Violet. Recently, onePokemonfan has pointed out how alike to existing Digimon and thePokemon Scarlet and VioletLegendaries are.
A Twitter user with affiliation toPokemon’s Sinnoh region recently posted an image of two Digimon side-by-side in reference to the newPokemon Scarlet and Violettrailer that revealed the LegendaryGen 9 Pokemon. This Twitter user wasted little time given how the Legendary Pokemon were merely revealed in the June 1 trailer, with one resembling more of an animal and the other resembling more of a machine and both reflecting their game’s color. The red and purple Legendary Pokemon are highlighted by the Digimon shared by this Twitter user as they share a similar form and features but continue to appear unique.

Since the June 1Pokemon Scarlet and Violettrailer, manyPokemonfans have been celebrating the unveiled Pokemon, admiring the young Professors, and closely observing theScarlet and VioletLegendary Pokemon. The feathery beast Koraidon is shown as a standard Megadramon in the Sinnoh Twitter post, while the more mechanical Miraidon is reflected by the significantly metallic Gigadramon. Megadramon has wings that appear like feathers similar to Koraidon and its tail coils when it’s stationary like other Dragon-type Pokemon, and the robotic parts of Miraidon are mirrored by the hand cannons and heavy metal wings of Gigadramon.
Given that Megadramon and Gigadramon both have weapons attached to their hands, the similarities between them and thePokemon Scarlet and VioletLegendariesare limited. In theDigimonuniverse, Megadramon and Gigadramon pose a significant challenge to the DigiDestined, but their power may pale in comparison to the still unreleased Legendary Pokemon. Because of howDigimon’s Digivolving system works, there are several Digimon that could become Megadramon or Gigadramon, butPokemonfans will specifically have to catch the Legendaries inPokemon Scarlet and Violet.
The two Legendary Pokemon fromPokemon Scarlet and Violetwould fit into theDigimonuniverse given their shape and size, with some otherPokemonfans suggesting that they look like massive bikes. OtherPokemonplayers anticipating the release ofScarlet and Violethave inferred that the Legendary Pokemon would also look great asYuGiOhcards from the earlier sets or the latter ones that centered on machines. OnePokemonfan that was around for the announcement ofPokemon Sword and Shieldalso confirmed that the Legendary dogs were compared to Durandamon and Bryweludramon fromDigimon, suggesting it’s an ongoing theme.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetrelease for Nintendo Switch on November 18.
