The games are monster taming. The show, yeah, I'd agree with that. You aren't exactly going out hunting for more digimon in the show. That's why it was better to me. The premise was actually more complex than, gotta catch em all.
Oh yeah, maybe-- I'm not familiar with many of the games. I mostly remember the TCG and virtual pets (better than Tamagotchi to boot), plus the series. Very different. Pokemon had zero impact on my mental model for cybersecurity and distributed systems.
It varies wildly though, recently there's a difference where Digimon World is tamagotchi one where you take care of 1 or 2 digimons and try to get different evolutions everytime they die and become an egg again; and Digimon Story which plays like a regular turn based RPG with 3 monsters in the party and you "capture" the other ones.
