Abby is on an anime kick. She’s watched Princess Tutu and is dipping into Digimon. Being 24 and not into anime in 1998, I had no idea how Digimon was any different from Pokemon. This set me straight. Warning: Digimon spoilers.

Agreed, but when I was a kid I preferred Monster Rancher to either. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Rancher_(anime)
My kids also really enjoyed Card Captor Sakura.
Abby says she finds the digi- prefix on everything “digiannoying” but thinks she’ll get used to it.
