A History of Connectivity in Virtual Pets digimon tamagotchi

A History of Connectivity in Virtual Pets

A History of Connectivity in Virtual Pets
1997 – 2018


A few people have been asking about the general history of virtual pets, and, while that’s a great, it’s not an idea for today. However, I thought I’d give a quick rundown of the general history of connectivity in virtual pets instead, specifically, within the Tamagotchi/Digimon franchise.

The history starts in 1997 with the two prong system for Digimon Digital Monsters right up to the present day release of the Tamagotchi Meets.

With the end of this fortnight’s hatch’s tournament, it’s time to reveal the Blockbuster Digimon Group Hatch Results

With the tournament out of the way, it’s also time to Jogress, as well as give a quick update of everything that I’m currently running. And then, of course, I get distracted with the Digimon Accelerator….

30 Day Virtual Pet Challenge!

June is nearly upon us and, due to a virtual pet kick, I’ve created a 30 day virtual pet challenge!

How to participate in the 30 Day Virtual Pet Challenge

30 Day Virtual Pet Challenge digimon tamagotchi

Answer each of the prompts in the image above in each day and post your responses online somewhere. Your responses can be in any format; tweets, blog posts, photos, videos, etc!

You can post about Digimon, Tamagotchis, or any virtual pets you can think of!

I’m unsure if I will be answering as blog posts, similar to how I covered the leadup to Kizuna, or if I should try doing daily video updates.

If you’re using social media, use the tag #30DaysOfVpets so I can check out your answers!

What is the Digimon Pendulum Neo?


Since I’ve been playing around with the Digimon Pendulum cycles, I thought I’d turn my attention over to another Bandai Asia creation and try to answer a question that I often find myself asking – What is the Digimon Pendulum Neo?

Wondering about what the cycle is? I’ve covered the Digimon Pendulum Cycle in another video too!

Do you have any other things you’d like to see me cover? I’m open to suggestions at the moment.

Training Digimon on the Pendulum Cycle and Random Encounters

Training Digimon on the Pendulum Cycle
(+ some bonus random encounters!)


A lot of people have been asking about what the different training animations/games are like on each version of the Digimon Pendulum Cycle and what training Digimon on the Pendulum Cycle is like, so here’s a quick video demonstrating the training animations on each version as well as what the random encounters on these toys are like.

Hopefully this video answers any questions about the training Digimon on the Pendulum Cycle for each version as well as what a random encounter battle is like!

Do you have any other things you’d like to see me cover? I’m open to suggestions at the moment.

It’s time to start up a new egg on the Pendulum Cycle version 9, and there’s another super quick little update of what else I’m raising too! Would you be interested in frequent ‘what I’m raising’ videos?

Later on today I’ll be (hopefully) uploading a video that compares each of the cycle’s training games, so stay tuned for that!

After some bad luck yesterday, it’s time to start up a new egg on the Pendulum Cycle version 10!

We’ll also quickly take a closer look at the Digimon Pendulum Cycle version 10.

Tomorrow I’ll be hatching my version 9 in a similar quick video!

Yes, you’re right, I’m a bad Digimon virtual pet parent.

And there’s another super quick little update of what else I’m raising too! Would you be interested in frequent ‘what I’m raising’ videos?

I really appreciate any feedback as I’m still fairly new to this

I do still need a new introduction video and not the one I made five years ago – I have an idea, I just have to record it.
