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.

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!

Since I’ve been on a bit of a virtual pet kick lately, I thought I’d start up and dust off a virtual pet I haven’t touched in years and give it a bit of a review and a bit of a dust off. Now, besides one huge mouth full of a name, what is the Tamagotchi TamaTown Tama Go?

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

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!

Another video about virtual pets; this time, we’ll be taking a quick look at the Digimon Pendulum Cycle Version 8 and egg hatching!

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

I appreciate any feedback as I’m fairly new to this! Yes! You’re right! I need a new introduction video and not the one I made five years ago!

5 Strange Digimon Sprites That Differ From Their Art

I’ve been on a bit of a virtual pet kick again lately – I’m running 7 virtual pets and acting like it’s a completely normal thing to do. While some sprites are really accurate, I’ve noticed there are a few strange Digimon sprites that really do not match the Digimon it’s meant to represent.

I was able to easily find a huge list of strange Digimon sprites or sprites that somehow differ from their art, so I thought I’d share five of these now.

Awesome 3-in-1 Tamagotchi Compatible Phone – Fujitsu ARROWS

I love playing with my Tamagotchis, but after awhile things always get a little stale. I was impressed with the longevity of the Meets and M!X, but prior to that, the content seemed thin.

There are people such as Mr Blinky that has created extra content for the older colour-tamas, but one requires an IR transmitter to send the files, so I started searching for a Tamagotchi compatible phone order to be able to add content such as characters, wallpapers, and toys by simply transferring some pre-made content, and then, thanks to Fuzzy N Chic, I was able to find an affordable old phone that ticked all the boxes and soon I was able to have a Tamagotchi compatible phone in my hot little hands!

5 Ideas For Virtual Pet Transport

5 Ideas For Virtual Pet Transport

A year ago, I posted about my storage solution for my virtual pets now that I had moved out of my childhood home and could no longer have them on display. It also makes virtual pet transport easier than having them all loose.

This solution is still great, but besides the Tactix 3 Piece Interlocking Organiser that I mentioned in the original post, it’s not really the most portable of solutions – especially if you just want to carry around a few devices.

So I thought I’d give a run down on a few ways to travel with a few Digimon and keep them safe! NO CRAFTING REQUIRED!
