Monster Pokemon
Which came first? Digimon, Pokemon or Monster Ranch?
I really need solid material on this. On wikipedia it says that Pokemon came out before Digimon in Japan. However if you search google and type "digimon before pokemon" you see tons of people that all agree that the Digimon video games were out before Pokemon was invented. So in other words Digimon came first. Yet the dates don't match meaning Pokemon came first. I need SPECIFIC sources. Not just yourself that tells me which came which, I also need specific dates as to which one came first. And where did Monster Rancher fit in all this? Was Monster Rancher the actual first one?
Well Digimon really did come first. They started out as a toy similar to Tamagotchi.
