At the very least it might actually get back to tough call between Pokemon and Digimon in terms of Badassitude.* 1.) (Badassitude, not Power, overlap can be possible but they aren't the same thing!)

I quite like both, and grew up watching the two side by side.
I prefer Digimon's strong characterization and darker tone. Ash and his pals are stuck in a chronological stasis where they almost seem to never grow up and mature, at least to a significant extent. Digimon, on the other hand, exhibit noticeable character development after one season. The dark tone is truly noticeable in Digimon Tamers (my favorite season), which created an atmosphere of near hopelessness and despair, especially once the D-Reaper started invading.
That said, the world building in Pokemon is unmatched. Each episode we see a glimpse of life in the Pokemon universe and the interaction of the characters within the world is amazing. The setting and side characters in Digimon seem as if they are there only they are the plot, whereas in Pokemon they the ones that tell the story. Pokemon simply seems to immerse you more into its world than Digimon does.
In all, characterization and plot goes to Digimon, setting and immersion to Pokemon.

Digimon, yeh.
Cooler by far, in my humble view, designs and as Hermit said, more interesting and developed characters y plots.

I'd say the issue with Digimon's setting is that it is more story driven, there's a specific big bad/s each season or a cosmic horror that forces young teens/kids to become heroes and champions, there's rarely time for them to stop and just look at the lives of characters because it's a "wake up, go to school, save the world" type series compared to Pokemon in the Anime, where the "villains" are rarely the focus of the season and Ash and co are always dragged into things by coincidence.
I will say this though seeing the hero leaders (Tai, Davis, Takato etc) of the Digimon multiverse brought together in a battle against an army of various digivolution states of Myotismon and other villains in an epic showdown with an uber Big Bad was quite fucking epic! And it's something Pokemon is sadly unable to pull off. We'll never see Ash and Red team up more than likely.
That said agreed on Digimon being my preferred favorite. As to which season...hard to really pick a favorite for me because of just how different each season is, Adventure 1/2 both had a cycle of heroes of destiny deal going, Tamer's ends up going full on cosmic horror story with the D-Reaper, Frontier went somewhat more cosmic, Data Squad went more..military action story ish...Xros had a bit more of a cosmic scale there's something bigger out there story, and whatever the next itteration (which is returning to the Adventure verse) is will be who knows what. And that's just the anime's the Digimon multiverse is quite diverse and while I haven't read the manga's may go deeper in those than it does in the Anime's. I guess if I had to pick a season...it'd be Tamers or Frontier. Favorite arc period though..as I said above the primary leader heroic digidestined leaders uniting and taking their Digimon to their most powerful forms from the start and proceed to show why they are the baddest mother fuckers in Digimon as the lower tier Digidestined from the Xros Digimon orginization watch on in awe shock and utter disbelief at the power of these Legendary Heroes.
If I can add anything to what Digimon has over Pokemon, it's that while Pokemon does have a deeper immersion to the setting....Digimon has just always seemed so vast and big, and the Tamers/Digidestined were being pulled into this massive bigger than any one person cosmic story with the fate of two universes hanging in the balance. It's just..bigger.
