Digimon is wild. Season one and two are one continuity, an isekai (pretty sure that's right/applies?) series about kids in a "digital world" where they befriend the chill digimon and fight the evil asshole ones.
Season 3 (Tamers) is like Neon Genesis Evangelion for kids.
oh yeahhhhhh! I guess I do kinda remember some parts of digimon. Honestly the plot does sound way more coherent than pokemon, it sounds like the plot isn't as completely full of holes because of the digital world thing.
I'm basically gonna second the other reply, Tamers is solid, but the original two, while I like them for nostalgia, have such brutally limited animation budgets (and in 02, tons of dropped plot-lines because of behind-the-scenes creative disputes) that it's a hard watch. Also the music in those first two seasons was profoundly bad on rewatch.
If you could ever find the little OVAs they did (good luck), those were really good, particularly "Our War Game". They were edited together (arguably butchered, but there's still fun to be had) into the US Digimon film.

Everything after that is shiiiit.

Is it worth watching as an adult?
I personally think 3 is pretty good and “dark” enough to get some enjoyment out of as an adult.
The first two seasons are more just nostalgia and not really that well done. Some arcs are okay.
