## Description

Digimon BANDAI (Original) Translucent Purple - Virtual Monster Pet by Tamagotchi, 41855 : desertcart.co.uk: Outlet

Review: Nostalgia at its best only with added features! - 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.
Review: Review. - So good!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you pause this like you can with the tamagotchi - by putting it on the adjust clock screen, or does it just kick you off the menu after a while?**
A: You can put the clock forward to the digimon's sleep as evolution time, hunger and exercise pauses while it sleeps.

**Q: Does anyone know if there are exclusive eggs on each version? I want to raise a Garurumon and just need to know if it is on all, or specific ones**
A: Sort of, garurumon is on all of them but they have exclusives, some being linear digivolution lines based on the anime, the garurumon that's available in all of them can't go to weregarurumon but the anime egg can

the yellow, white and the grey ones have the gabumon line that follows the anime

Brick, blue and black have agumon

Magenta, translucent blue and translucent green with pink border, have coronamon (poorly aged name imo)

Neon Red, translucent purple and translucent yellow have lunamon

Glow in the dark, translucent orange and translucent green with orange borders, have meicoomon

IIRC you get these by connecting to 5 different v-pets (you can use two if you just reset the other one after connecting it and repeating that until you've done it 5 times)

**Q: What games does it have**
A: There is training, and battles

**Q: Can you battle without someone else?**
A: Yes as you can solo or team battle
