Digimon BANDAI (Original) Translucent Purple - Virtual Monster Pet by Tamagotchi, 41855

Having gotten the original ones back in the day, I was pleased to see that they re-released them albeit I was a little late, as I missed the 20th anniversary and the first two waves! Compared to the older ones (v1 and V2) You have to put your name in at the start and the time, there's a decent roster of monsters from each version that you hatch, grow and train to be the best battlers and strongest monsters. You can also train two Digimon at the same time, making tag matches a thing. There is a journal feature, to keep track of each monster you have trained, there is a extra growth tier to Mega digivolve through a process called Jogress. You can send a copy of the monster you trained to a friend and vice versa and once you tag battled with the copy 5 times, you can fuse the monsters into a new one. There is a fight feature if one doesn't have another Digimon and so you can gain victories with the game's inbuilt monsters. There are two secret eggs one can acquire and involves linking with five or more Digimon with different trainer names. Or you can get a second one or find a friend that is willing to stop and rename their device name several times in order to get the same result. Remember to give them a different name though or it won't count. I have to wait for my second one to arrive so I can see what monsters I can battle...and also to get those eggs! Again to get different Digimon you have to experiment with different factors such as care mistakes (no more than 4 per 'stage' or it will die) training and feeding (and you have to redo that after each digivolution.) To morph your monster pal into many forms when it's time to digivolve.

So good!

Son lives this but I'm now left to care for it during the day otherwise it's dead by the time he comes home.... Such pressure to step up as a psuedo grandparent!

works out of box reminds me of the one from childhood good price battery lasts for months absolute fun blast of nostalgi also glows in dark

Absolutely phenomenal piece of hardware. So much much caring, training and battling with your favourite digimon. In a world where being a Pokemon fan has become stale and boring, this delivers on what you have been missing. The diversity of monsters to befriend as well as the closeness and friendship you feel for these little guys is just breathtaking. Never have I loved Digimon as much as with one of these digivice! Also being glow in the dark is a big plus.

I'm not sure why the amazon page only says "41859" and does not make it clear but yes this is the 20th anniversary version. This and the Digital monster X are currently the best Digital monster virtual pets available.

Brought for a bit of nostalgia, great buy, fun

Played great for the 2 hours. But battery icon came up when I went to pick it up next!!!

Es un tamagotchi de toda la vida solo que de digimon, vino en buen estado y fue un regalo que gusto mucho

Ich liebe Digimon und sammle eigentlich alles vom Franchise und das tamagotchi ist super. Genau wie früher

One of the best Games existing

Mi sono svegliato questa mattina ritrovandomi in un misterioso mondo parallelo. Le creature che popolano queste terre sono strane così come anche i paesaggi che circondano il tutto. Una soffusa quiete sembra regnare in questo villaggio dove un piccolo vecchietto di nome Jijimon fa strambi discorsi... forse a causa di una velata demenza senile. Parla di Digiprescelti... cose così... come dire... di altri tempi. Ad ogni prescelto "dona", dietro "modesto" compenso, un apparecchietto di plastica simile ad un piccolo televisore. In esso vive qualcosa. Un amico virtuale... una marcata nostalgia di tempi lontani. E pigiando quei tasti un poco imprecisi si torna bambini, si assapora, ancora una volta, quella sensazione di fanciullezza dove la realtà si mescola ai sogni e i colori dipingono il grigio. E, a volte, una lacrima discende la guancia per far ricordare che il tempo, purtroppo, è trascorso. Lacrima benevola che non vuole avvilire: rivoli di gioia nel riscoprire sentimenti assopiti... e mai dimenticati.
