Evolution Of Digimon Virtual Pets And Digivices

0:00 if you asked a casual Digimon fan when did Digimon begin they would probably tell you in 1999 with the first anime but more knowledgeable fans know that Digimon actually started as a series of virtual pets back in the summer of 1997 since then the franchise has put out a large number of various devices which after 27 years is a bit hard to keep track of recently on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime an art book about the history of Digimon devices was released featuring a pleasant surprise a rare interview with aumu Kimura one of the first staff members to work on Digimon and the developer that was in charge of the first digital monster in the interview Kimura gives answers to 25 questions to Mark the 25th anniversary the interview gives us an exclusive insight into the

0:46 creative process of the first device featuring Digital Monsters or Digimon June this year marks 27 years since the release of that first vpat even after all this time the latest 25th anniversary Digivice sold out in pre-orders just after its announcement this video is here to help you wrap your mind around all these devices and if you are planning on buying one help you decide which one to get so let's take a trip down the memory lane and see what makes these devices so special and cherished by [Music] fans Digimon devices are generally divided into vads and Digi viices while the devices are easy to distinguish because they are based on the devices from the anime the vads can get confusing there are many of them and

1:32 they look similar but the main differentiator is which Digimon you get with each this video will cover all the devices released by Japan digimon's country of origin but not all of these devices were released for the international markets while some were released exclusively for one country or region keep that in mind if you are considering buying one of these devices as not all of them will be in English we will get into specifics of each device in a second but let's first see how the very first digital monster came to be aumu Kimura was a graduate of an art college working on planning and development of character products for shua the largest publishing company in Japan one day his boss offered to put him in charge of a new tagoi like product tamagachi was released the previous year by Bandai but it seemed to appeal more with girls this new device

2:18 would be based on the concept of tagoi raising a digital monster in a small device but making it more suitable for boys the original virtual pets in the tamagi were designed to look cute but this newu would give them a hard Edge style influenced by American comics and incorporating video game elements the project was helmed by whiz a Japanese company that specialized in toy products this was to be kimura's first collaboration with Watanabe kji before the term Digimon was coined the product was codenamed okoi by the development team which basically meant for boys they later used the term fighting tamagochi to explain it to other departments and customers the development team was small and included Kimura in planning his boss in the decision making but anab Kenji in design and Makoto kitag gavara from whiz

3:04 the planning took about 8 months Kimura says they had the foundation in tamagochi and they were boys creating a product for boys which made things easier butab was in charge of the design of creatures who were to look like powerful monsters he first came up with tyrannomon because the team wanted to create a monster with a tyrannosaurus Motif all the designs were converted to pixel art based on matabi illustrations because they had to look iconic on small screens the creatures had to fit into a size of 16 x 16 pixels or dots they also had to ensure that the Silhouettes didn't resemble each other too closely the first vpet ended up having 14 monsters one baby 1 one baby 2 two child Digimon seven adults and three perfects there were no ultimate forms yet at this point since the devices were targeted to

3:50 school boys they had to align the activities of the virtual pet with school hours so the creature would wake up before the child went to school and go to sleep by 9:00 p.m. in the original Japanese device the lifespan of the creature was set to about 10 days this was because the battery in the device was small and would usually last for about 3 weeks there was no save function so if the battery ran out the game was reset and the player lost their creature that's why the team wanted to make it last long enough so that the player could raise the creature again after death also since it was supposed to be like a living creature they wanted to give it a lifespan to make it more realistic however when the device was launched in the US it was changed so that the creature doesn't die but goes back to a fictional space and is reborn in the interview Kimura says that he

4:36 wanted players to reflect on their actions if their creature died and the player felt bad they could recreate their steps to get that same creature again Hora says he wanted to encourage a sense of enjoyment similar to observing and nurturing living creatures the fact that these creatures started off as babies they would cry when hungry and couldn't yet fight made them feel more real the creatures originally had three attributes data and virus as the team wanted a rock paper scissors Simplicity the vpad creatures still didn't have a name at this point this was the time when computers were rapidly spreading into every home and the word digital was still new and futuristic since the creatures lived in devices they decided to combine the two words into digital monster and shorten it into Digimon the original tamagachi creatures didn't have

5:22 names but the team assumed that boys would like to name their monsters so they decided on a pattern that each name should end with mon to make it easily recognizable as a digimon after digital monster device was released Kimura wanted to take it further he wanted Digimon to go beyond being just toys at that time he worked at shuaa so he wrote an article for the weekly Shan and jump starting a serialization in jump at that time had the power to make a topic go viral and turn into an anime for Kimura this was the ultimate stage of developing a character and he wanted Digimon to achieve that level of success Digimon ended up getting a manga called on Digimon developed by T yabuno the rest is history in the last 25th question in the interview aumu hura reflects on the future of Digimon he

6:09 says that the majority of Digimon fans today are adults who grw up with Digimon in today's world it's difficult to make a child surrounded by state-of-the-art technology interested in a small LCD device with pixelated monsters but he says the future of Digimon is that they have no limitations they are characters with freedom of expression and he hopes Digimon will continue to find a way into hearts of children for generations to come Kimura and his team's product called digital monster was released in June 1997 as the first Digimon vpad device it looked like an ancient Relic Made of Stone with a small LCD screen and three buttons the frame around the display with a keyhole was meant to represent a cage that traps Digital Monsters initially the idea was that players would open the cage when interacting with Digimon and if they forgot to close it the Digimon would

6:55 Escape but due to increased costs and the inability to ensure the strength of the mechanism this feature didn't make it into the final design but the iconic design of the first version did stay for all the versions that came after when you power the device for the first time by pulling the plastic battery tab you set the clock and get a d egg after 10 minutes the egg hatches into a digimon the player becomes the Digimon steer and has to take care of it feed it train it clean its poop put it to sleep and so on the devices three buttons which most subsequent devices would have were basically select confirm and cancel it also has pins on the top which allows players to battle each other by connecting two devices version one came in six colors with variations of colors around the screen and buttons the subsequent versions of digital monster

7:42 and other vads would expand the color options with many combinations of colors for the body screen frame and buttons as Kimura mentioned in his interview the first digital monster had 14 Digimon these were the first vpad Digimon that broke the ice version two was released later that same year in December 1997 version 3 followed next year in March 1998 the next version was released 2 months later in May 1998 version 5 was released in August 1998 there was another version called version 6 but it was only released in Australia in 2002 it also had 14 Digimon

8:31 the pendulum devices are similar to the digital monster but with a slightly larger evolution tree and a pendulum component for shaking the device during training and battles pendulum was supposed to also introduce a temperature sensor warming a digimon would turn it into a fire attribute and cooling it into ice but this was not implemented in the final product another rejected idea was that during communication battles Digimon with virus attribute could infect the other players Digimon with the virus only curable with another device that has a vaccine Digimon the pendulum versions are named after places where Digimon live which would become Digimon Fields it's interesting that nightmare soldiers was originally called Halloween party but its Digimon deviated from the cute image of Halloween so the name was changed version one of Digimon pendulum

9:17 called nature Spirits was released in October 1998 it had 20 Digimon two babies three child Digimon six adults six perfects and three ultimates version 1.5 was released in January 1999 it is mostly the same as version one but includes tailmon instead of toramon anamon instead of jagon and hamon instead of heracle kabuterimon version two deep Savers was released in December 1998 version 2.5 followed in April 1999 instead of camon it has aamon instead of anom malaron it has hangon and instead of metal cidron it has placon version three nightmare soldiers was released in March

10:50 demon version virus Busters was labeled as zero and was released in March 2000 Digimon pendulum progress is the third evolution of Digimon virtual pets it has three versions containing 23 Digimon it has a slightly larger screen and includes opponents in the game an interesting trivia about pendulum progress is that it launched with an early sketch of all Force vion whose design had not yet been finalized by that time pendulum progress version one called Dragon's Roar was released in July 2002 version two called Armageddon Army followed in September 200 2 version 3 animal Coliseum concluded the series in March

11:40 2003 Digimon pendulum X is the fourth evolution of Digimon virtual pets it has five versions containing 20 Digimon it introduced the X antibody Digimon which would later become topic of the manga Digimon Chronicle X Evolution followed by the movie Digital Monster X Evolution the franchise also started working with artist other than what an abeni for these X designs which can be seen in their pointy and metallic features it also introduced X AI which stands for X antibody indicator a seven-sided dice X AI is also a pun on the Japanese word for dice the xai is used in training and battles and would spin at the beginning of each day to inform the player what kinds of encounters they will get that day like battles gifts or visits from numon Digimon pendulum X version one was

12:27 released in April 2003 in September 2003 version 1.5 was released instead of raptor Dramon it has death xamon instead of gradeon it has death X dorugoramon and instead of War Greymon X and alphamon it has gomon and death X dorugoramon version two was released in August 2003 version 2.5 was released in October 2003 instead of Dino tigon it has alfor vion X the final version three was released in November 2003 it includes Digimon with blast Evolutions Digimon pendulum cycle is a Bandai Asia exclusive series of four devices released in 2003 they are

13:13 labeled as versions 7 8 9 and 10 because they were intended to be a continuation of the original digital monster devices which had five versions and version six for Australia but the Digimon they contain are almost identical to the pendulum series another difference is the new round the design and the introduction of a sped up life cycle a digimon could fully evolve within a day and revert back to child when it goes to sleep Digimon pendulum cycle version 7 has the same Digimon as pendulum version 2 with hangon Su jinon vikon plumon and moon millenniummon version 8 has the same Digimon as pendulum version 3 with Gabon instead of bakumon and added arimon Venom vmon metal guron deamon and Bal vmon

15:33 Digimon accelerator or axle is a virtual pad device with a matrix scanner for DNA and DDP chips unlike previous vpad devices it has an option to save progress when the Digimon evolves just like other Digimon vpad projects Axel also had some scraped ideas the device was supposed to have a flywheel so that it would read the number of rotations it was to represent a digimon's dig core spinning the number of rotations of the D core would affect the attack power like the internal combustion engine of a car another idea was to measure body fat ratio by passing a weak electric current through the body and measuring the resistance value ultimately this idea turned into scanning DD chips Digimon would get energized when the device touched human skin the device features
