I think Digimon is still a direct competitor to Pokemon in Japan since games and toys are still being made over there. I doubt Nintendo would have ever been okay with that. Not to mention both franchises are made to sell toys. Isn't Takara Tomy & Hasbro the main company that makes Pokemon figures? I doubt Bandai wants to do a crossover with a toy company that they are rivals with. It would be like if they made a Gundam vs. Transformers crossover. So I doubt a real Pokemon vs. Digimon will ever happen.

Does that mean it would be unreasonable to ask for a Digimon as a Smash character?

On the one hand, they put Ryu in, and I have a hard time recalling any Street Fighter game on a Nintendo game system, so that was out of left field itself.

On the other hand, Pokemon is already on Smash, and Digimon has a rather loving relationship with Sony/Playstation, give or take a couple of betrayals with the DS games (good games, but not very loyal of Digimon to cheat on Sony like that).

there have been Street Fighter games on Nintendo systems, Street Fighter 2 being the big one. There was also Super Street Fighter 4 3D on the 3DS recently.

Thank you, that answers a few things for me.

Pokemon figure done my Bandai tamashi nation say "hi we are D-art now figuart figure done by are.competitor Bandai"

I guess sub-liscences can work in odd ways seeing that Play Arts Kai and Mcfarlane toys can make Halo figures.

Well, I'm forcing Sideswipe to watch Tamers.
We're 4 episodes in, and recently decided to watch it subbed over dubbed because he was finding the dub's mild changes to be a little grating.

I wonder if Saban will release Tri for a limited release in theaters similar how Funimation did with the DBZ movies. I think it could do well since there is the nostalgia from kids growing up in the 90's and early 2000's who are now adults.

I went to watch Digimon on Netflix...and it was only subbed. Now, the sub voices certainly were a lot better, but I can't watch Digimon subbed. It's too weird. I want to watch the version I grew up with.

Probably not but it would be cool.
