By my estimation, Digimon reached its peak in the zeitgeist back in 2000 with the movie. I'd say I'm pretty attuned to the Pokémon scene and TCG scenes and I haven't heard of any of those new Digimon things you mentioned, haven't seen any Digimon ads, products in stores, nothing. I'm not suggesting what you're saying is untrue, just that you might be exaggerating Digimon's significance in pop culture. Pal World is breaking records every day, it's a new IP, and it's bringing newcomers and veterans alike to the genre; it makes sense it's getting a lot of publicity.
