Quick Wikipedia peekin' reveals:

"Pokémon is a media franchise owned by video game giant Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri around 1995."

"The games launched in the United States on September 30, 1998."
(Red and Blue, that is.)

"Digimon started out as a digital pet called "Digital Monster," similar in style and concept to the Tamagotchi. It was planned by Wiz and released by Bandai on June 26, 1997."
(Doesn't state clearly but I'm pretty sure this was Japan-only.)

"On March 6, 1999, the franchise was given an anime as the first of the Digimon movies aired in theaters in Japan. ... the series was dubbed for release in western markets in the fall of the same year."



There are some dates for ya, but I can't find when or if the Digimon digital pets came out in America.
