BANDAI 41865 Digimon (Original) Glow in The Dark-Virtual Monster Pet by Tamagotchi

Very good digivice. Classic and can raise 2 digimon at once if you decide to.

Not even a big Digimon fan, but I like Tamagotchis, so I thought I’d give this a go. Play with it all the time now and I’m gonna collect a few more.It’s a simple digital pet, and it brings simple joy, but lots of it. 10/10

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.

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.

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.

The media could not be loaded.  Played great for the 2 hours. But battery icon came up when I went to pick it up next!!!

I bought this as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend, and it’s a great memento of our childhoods, as we loved Digimon then, and now. It is very much a tamagotchi, but with Digimon, however, the booklet with the instructions could be clearer.

Okay so it is working as intended and everything is great but paying for shipping (not tracked btw) and then getting the box damaged is not so fun.
