Well yes it is really isn't it? DIGI/POKE!!! not alot of difference in the evolving and the digivolving!!, but it works!, my little girl loves it and watches both of the "mon" cartoons happily, I personally would say that Digimon is more of a boys cartoon than a girls just because it appears a bit darker and has more dark backgrounds and loud music (that's not to say girls won't like it but i think it's more aimed at boys) and even down to the toy packaging, whereas your poke of the mon variety is more floaty and neutral and i would say aimed at both boys and girls.
