Digimon
I miss classic Digimon. I used to have an OC (uncreatively, it was a version of me, name and all) and a fanmade Digimon partner named NRGmon (pronounced en-er-gy-mon), they were exclusively an Adventure-02 era OC with fleshed out backgrounds. but I did enjoy Digimon Tri.

??? vs Pokémon
I don't really think there is anything wrong with the Pokémon series at the moment. To me the Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee trailers just shows off how far they come and how successful they are. Everytime I watch that trailer I feel sentimental given while I am not a pokémon fanatic I too grew up with Pokémon, especially yellow. And feel sentimental about the commercial and wish Sega could achieve something like this, but know very well they can't.

If only chao were revised and had a spin-off. Given the metamorphic nature of chao a "raise your own monster" game to counter a "capture your own monster" game might have worked.

Ristar vs Kirby
On the subject of NiGHTS there is actually a good reason why there has only been two NiGHTS game and why I respect if Sega chooses to retire the NiGHTS series. Before Journey to Dreams, Yuji Naka had no intentions to make a sequal because he thought the game was too perfect as it is to have a sequal that could tarnish the reputation of the first. It's compared to how Steven Spielberg regards E.T. Both regard their creations as works of art and don't want sequals to bog them down. So I respect that NiGHTS just isn't a game to have one sequal after another. Even Shigeru Miyamoto himself that acknowledge was a great game and this was during the 90s mind.

Therefore I think Ristar would still be an ideal combatant against Kirby on account both have similar themes even if their gameplay is different.
