Sorry if my editing was a bit off, this was my first time using two different camera angles! Hope y'all enjoy :) Follow me on IG: @laitama_ www.buymeacoff...
I got a vb and it was kinda miss it was cool at first but I prefer the x or the og 20 it just has way more depth. It was cool I love the sprites and idea but it felt soulless.
I just wish digimon came out with a color one like we know it’s possible they’ve been doing it for tamagotchi for a while now. At least a backlit device
You are not wrong. Digimon > tamagotchi. For starters you get all the same features as a tamagotchi with the added connectivity of battles and jogress. Also, tamagotchi are usually the same and revolve around a chicken, Digimon on the other hand varies greatly from monster to monster.
laitama I mean they are all chickens, at least the original ones. I remember back in 97 everyone was running around the virtual pets in school as the new craze but all I saw was a virtual KFC that you couldn’t eat. Then came Digimon and I was like, ok these are dinosaurs and you can battle with them? I am sold.
I've ALWAYS loved the Tamas💖😁 but lately i've been falling hard in love with the Digi-pets. (I used to think that they were super complicated , but not anymore thanks to all to all the awsome 😉👍humulos/guides out there.) 1st Digi was the 20th v-pet...then Red & Purple X2... And now with all 3 Pendulum Z on the way...I'm definetly crushin' 💖😍
Only just started this video but even before I watch it, I can say that as a kid, I had both. I had the original Tamagotchi & then the next released one (whatever they call that these days😂) & then when Digimon came out, I got one of them too…. & I can say, even though I NEVER watched the Digimon show growing up or had any interest in Digimon cards (yes, there actually was Digimon cards but they never really took off😂), I can say I clearly remember MUCH preferring my Digimon to my Tamagotchi’s, even though I wasn’t a Digimon fan…. My younger Brother was the exact same. He was a fan of the Digimon show though TBH but I honestly think that had little to no bearing… In fact, I remember most kids at my school once they got Digimons, not really using their Tamagotchis anymore. Some kids had like 8-10 Digimons on a keychain & 1-2 dead Tamagotchis they couldn’t be bothered to rehatch 😂😂 So back in the day when they all originally came out, I think most kids leaned towards the Digimon once they tried it 😂🫶😌🪺🦖🐣
(I know this is late but) it would’ve been really nice to see a definitive version of the OG Tamas like how they did for Digimon’s 20th anniversary. Quieter beeping, all the Gen 1 and 2 Tamas, better buttons, the extra casing styles.. no wonder it just sorta feels lame compared to Digimon.
I just want a Tamagotchi connection relaunch. Also used to watch Digimon but never had one, seen they've remade them and found a glow in the dark one and I'm a sucker for anything glowy, may have to try :3
It's really different here in Malaysia. I think Digimon is more famous here than Tamagotchi because of the community. My first vpet is also the 97 version I get from my uncle as a gift. It's really exciting that the Digimon community is getting bigger every year.
I grew up with tamagotchi which is the reason why I've never gave them a chance. I've had a couple other virtual pets but never enjoyed them like a tamagotchi. Especially since they are "odd pets" Ive been wanting to get my bf into vpets and the fighting aspect sounds perfect :) you've really sold me on giving them a try
I think the problem with the Digimon one are two, first, they really are good, but they are really hard to find, and expensive, and when you're a kid, you have a limited budget, and the second one, and the most important, is the marketing, they really have not a lot of publicity, while the tamagotchi got a lot of marketing, even in my country, who is small, I love Digimon, but they really need to get better at marketing an localitation.
I have always been drawn more to Digimon personally as well (The Vpets not the anime though). Found there to be alot more guides on them then the tamagotchi also since i like to plan ahead what form i want to get.
Yes, I've noticed that too! People in the Digimon community have been more dedicated to gathering all of stats for the different characters which is so nice. Dang I wish I had mentioned this in my video lol
@@laitama Yeah i was amazed how fast they got the requirements for the 20th digimon when they first came out. If you do make another part you can mention it then.
Great comparison! I was the one who thought you sold all your tamas 😅. I would really really love if you could make a review about the digimon x (any of them). The videos in youtube seems so confusing for me because people take for granted a lot of things and seems to speak to an audience that already understand about them. So I hope you can make a review some day because I like the way you explain things 😁
As a (mostly digimon) Vpet enthusiast, this video was amazing. I favor the Digimon side a lot more but I still have huge respect for the Tama IP overall. I'm wondering if you have a vital bracelet nowadays? Also I'm seriously jealous of the new Tamagotchi like the Pix and On, with all the things you can do on the devices and their higher resolution & bigger screen.
I jave the vital bracelet wolf howl blue edition. The amazon page also said it would come with pulse city but it did not. I ordered for 100 Canadian (after tax and shipping) but they were hard to find at the time in canada. This christmas i asked santa for more digimon dim cards. It is fun and it helped me lose weight in the summer. I lost 50 pounds but i was also going to the gym
Okay, so you've compared the V-Pets. Do you plan on comparing their animes next (In case you didn't get the memo, vanilla Tamagotchi had an anime that aired from 2009-2015)? And as someone who's more familiar with Tamagotchi, I agree with you. Although Tamagotchi is more marketable and can easily be seen as a mascot IP for Bandai, Digimon is clearly more preferred among the community.
Yeah I remember the tamagotchi anime! It was cute but I was not a big fan or anything. Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with either series to make a comparison video, but that is a good idea! Hopefully someone will do it someday
I have one where Bandai has given more to Tamagotchi than Digimon! Good quality colour-ed screen v-pet!! Tamagotchi has a great selection of coloured pixel v-pets, but Digimon has only gotten the Vital Bracelet and recently the announced Digimon ver. COLOR. But both are sadly inferior when compared to Tamagotchi counterparts... The interactions on the Digimon Vital Bracelet is so limited, if you compare it to the counterpart Tamagotchi Smart, which can do so much more with the pet and more sprite and animations like feeding and bathing. Honestly the Digimon Vital Bracelet is more like a fitness band than a V-pet, which it did market accurately to be fair. But for fans of Digimon being a v-pet, it does feel like something is missing. The Digimon Ver. COLOR is a colour-ed screen v-pet that many of us have been waiting for, but the pixels are in the traditional resolution... Bandai already has great Color resolution screen tech for Tamagotchi... so why the old resolution type for Digimon...? This part really astounds me still. Nonetheless, I still pre-ordered one Ver.1 and one Ver. 2... Cos a fan is still a fan...
Fax Nezuko chan LOL. there’s more to do with a digimon than a tamagotchi, oh yeah there’s a new digimon v-pet coming out called the pendulum Z there are three different versions they all look great
Yesterday one of my younger co-workers thought my Digimon v-pets were "Demon Slayer Tamagotchis". *sigh* Maybe that would be cool, though? :p Totally agree that Digimon do such much more than regular Tamagotchis, and it helps that because of growing up with the show I know who the mons actually are. :)
When you started saying you wanted it to be the best my mind aut0matically started playing Pokemon's original English dub theme song lol. Digimon is definitely more well-known as a TV show than it is a V-pet in the US, but I don't remember Digimon v-pet's ever being marketed on television and you would think they would after the first show was successful.
I had both back in 1997. Digimon was great for break times at school fighting each other but tamagotchi has the place in my heart, even now as a full grown 37 year old man I’ve started collecting all the old p1/p2 non of the newer ones interest me. The simplicity of the old ones is where the magic is.
With the modern tamagotchis i think we should give them a chance because they have colored ones now and a touch screen which division doesn't have.guys it's just my opinion..
Honestly as someone who collects both, I would **love** a Tamagotchi x Digimon crossover where you can raise both a tama or a digimon, being able to have some sort of combat system (digimons have their evolutions, tamas could pick a class or something like dnd) while also having life sim elements (having likes and dislikes, befriending other ppl, personality traits, etc). I do think what makes Tamagotchi and Digimon very different is that Digimon are a bit more gimmicky and more involved with its combat and evolution system, while Tamagotchi is a bit more casual and easier to raise. It's very dependent on what you want and if you want something a bit more involved.
The problem is when you arent american XDD In my country for example is only safe to order things around europe cause you risky them getting stuck if they are ordered from outside.
Bought a Digimon 20th yesterday, it should arrive tomorrow. I originally wanted a Tamagotchi because of nostalgia, but then I saw the Digimon and it just feels like there's more to it. I'm very excited to try one of these things as an adult, if I really like the Digimon I might consider getting a Tamagotchi just so I can really compare. This is a great video and I'm glad I made the right choice!
Tamagotchi have better designs (I prefer the egg shell and no sharp edges); I think the shells of the Digimon are hideous and bulkier. My understanding is that they were marketed towards boys. I don’t want my virtual pet battling, personally. It’s not how I play, but can see how this would be more interactive for others.
I was looking for information regarding the original (digimon) V-Pets and stumbled upon this video. It was really nice and informative since I was never really into tamagotchi.
You know what I think would be so cool. I just ordered a Keitai akai and I wish there would be a digimon tamagotchi - like a tamagotchi shell and care and like the features of an keitai. Or a tamagotchi digimon where it would be a brick or something like that but you raise the tamagotchi characters to fight with the digimon.
Also didn’t realize digimon had a virtual pet until the 20th devices. Bought the first 2 and never went back xD I would love to get a tamagotchi but I have no idea where I would start
Digimon will always be my number one. But tamagotchi have grown on me. That's probs because there are alot more people talking digital pets online and more communitys to talk digital pets. Got going to lie. I never do this but I just got 3-4 new tamagotchi coming in the mail. Most because people like you and others in the community make them look so fun.
@@laitama well...... I got a Uratama. Because of your stream lol. Then while I was at it I got The family tama, Evatchi (red) because I finally decided and its on backorder, and a Marino tama because I just love the look of it. So I went overboard a bit 😅 So they just got sent out so now I can wait by the post box lol
logically your points are valid, and it seems people usually go down this digimon hole a few years after first discovering but i just cannot get into them! and they’re sprites are so clunky to me and not that cute, but i will keep trying to get the bug 🤣 also love the variation of gameplay in tamas, especially in the later connection models rather than just battling for all devices.
I totally get the variation of gameplay thing, but I think tamas can get a bit repetitive after a while too (although, if I had to choose between Digimon and an uratama I would have a REALLY hard time deciding lol). Idk why but I actually think Digimon sprites are cuter than tamas 😂 I think it's hilarious how they make these big scary monsters into little sprites you take care of.
I just got a V20 Black Digivice, all I gotta say is that toddler me who grew up watching the anime wouldn't have been able to understand this much. Even now I didn't know much, about using this. But as someone who just recently played a Digimon game (CyberSleuth complete edition on the Switch) I can't say I'm ashamed to get into these around this time. Either ways I'm still enjoying my digivice regardless. Excellent video btw, I didn't know that both had that much differences aside from the obvious target demographics. Also, I love the Keychain holder better from the Digivices. P.S Agumon for Smash Ultimate
It's simple. Even if the current digivices have no color (at the time I'm writing this, the digimon color hadn't been released yet) Digimon has more exciting gameplay, more lore, an entire anime franchise, a card game that has not fallen into obscurity, many video games with original stories, a couple of SUB SERIES' and even a couple of rip-offs in the mobile stores trying to replicate the digivice's gameplay (horribly). Does Tomodachi have that?
I grew up with Tamagotchi but getting back into V-Pets this year, I'm much happier with the latest Digimon releases than the Tamas! Its really a shame that the vintage tamagotchi re-releases sell magnitudes more than the Digimon X, when the latter just has so much more love and care put into it and is just more fun overall. I'll just keep dreaming of a Tamagotchi Connection Anniversary Edition that collects all the bits and baubles from that series, maybe someday it'll happen 😭
Honestly I kind of got pokemon vibes when I first played a Digimon vpet! Only because of the battling aspect though. Other than that, they are quite different!
I just got one after watching this i had never heard of them before that. Yes i like it alot. Considering it only has half the technology of my tamagotchi Pix that says something about their untapped potential in the market.
it's really cool and I think this could open the door to more Digimon collabs in the future! I don't think I'm going to preorder, hopefully the fomo won't be too bad when they are released haha
@@laitama exactly! So excited for possible collabs. In my case fomo got me horrible, preordered both of them. Will be my first V-Pet not counting the vital bracelet
The reason the 20th didn’t include a Ver 6 egg, is because that egg was technically never part of the Digimon vpet line. The Digimon Vpet line ended with V5. Version 6 (aka: Nature Spirit) was the start of the PENDULUM line. Yes, Australia released it as a regular Vpet Digimon, but that was an anomaly. The V6 egg belongs to the pendulum line (it’s in the Nature Spirit Pendulum). The pendulum part is deceiving. Unlike Digivice, pendulums are NOT pedometers and don’t have the ability to count your steps. They’re really just normal Vpets like the originals. The only thing that shaking feature does is replace the button mashing preparation for battle. Other than that, pendulums are exactly like regular Vpet Digimon, only WAY more fun because of the extra battle feature (colosseum) and the ability to Jogress.
Olá, eu tenho 14 anos e sou do Brasil, eu tenho um tamagotchi geração 2 mas eu gostaria muito de ter um digimon, eu achei esse Tamagotchi em específico um pouco chato e meu pai disse que ia comprar outro só que melhor, e eu estou pensando se eu peço o Digimon de 20th aniversário que brilha no escuro que está com o preço bem baixo na Amazon, ou se eu compro um tamagotchi pix que é colorido, você poderia me ajudar a escolher dando sua opinião? Eu estou em dúvida entre o tamagotchi pix e o Digimon que brilha no escuro e eu gostaria de um virtual pet que seja divertido e que não canse muito cedo, que tenha bastantes funcionalidades e bastante coisa pra fazer, se puder me ajudar eu agradeço muito.
My friend and I would battle our Digimon back in elementary school. I would always win because mine would always evolve into Greymon and his would evolve into some blob thing.
I don't have any friends who like vpets. I don't know anyone that has one... So I can't battle anyone. Maybe that's why I enjoy tamagotchi more. The newer tamagotchis doesn't seem like fun, except the black and white ones.
I hope some Chinese will make their own digimon version except with modernized digivice with camera hd screen etc since bandai is still living in the 90th lol
Amazing! I look forward to the content. I'm glad to find another channel that does Digimon content. I've always wanted a V pet. i haven't had one in 6 years. i lost my Season 3 Digivice at college. RIP Guilmon. I use Cardboard collectibles for my Digimon Battle spirits/TCGs! im looking forward to the next video, keep swaggin' shawty
If we're going of fact Digimon created a franchise tamigatchi didn't that means it was more popular meaning its undeniably better clearly they did something to make it so popular however I feel if your looking for a faveruite it's personal preference and nostalgia so it depends on the person
laitama: " digimon is better than tamagotchi!" Bandi 2022: * casually releases a new Tamagotchi that's in color, has touchscreen, and count your steps *
My digimon beat up all the tamogatchi. While I chant "digimon digital monsters digimon are the champions" lol Like the videos keep it up. I got sucked into this underground w0rld of digimon vpet junkies. Im a junkie now. Cant help it theyre so fun and loved digimon since the original vpets and show. I never knew they kept them going for so long
I agree with you! I've collected tamagotchi since '97 & never really knew about digimon virtual pets. Got into digimon in 2017 & I love them so much more
Digimon is more fun It has more options and you get way more characters Also my digimon is way quieter than my tamagotchi which I find to be a win because my sister is always yelling at me to turn the volume off on my tama
Digimon > Tamagotchi Digimon V-pets have done a lot more things than the tamagotchi & can be relatable to characters who have them in the manga & games. Bandai: "That's my boy"
You know Tama's were made first and has tons of features and ones in color?...Digimon just a cheap version and it just look like a mc donalds toy tbh 🤐
I think each does what they do very well. Digimon is the better over all toy/game. Tamagtotchi is the better overall appeal/aesthetic. That's just my opinion. I've been enjoying my Ver. 20s and Xs lately, but for overall design, Tamagotchi can't be beat. Also, Tamagotchi had LCD games and Gameboy games that included the design I love, with a little bit more gaming element to it. I haven't found that additional element outside of Digimon proper, but that could just be me not looking.. Overall, being a fan of both is a win/win for me.
Funny that you mentioned that, I've actually been playing a game on stream that is very similar to the tamagotchi Gameboy games! It's called the digital monster version wonderswan
@@laitama that sounds cool and I'll have to check it out. I just picked up a Wonderswan and the Digimon game and connector to fight it with actual Digimon. I think that video game fix just never came to the states thanks to being locked to the Wonderswan.
My parents said no I can't get a pet so I got a Digimon I have an omegamon alter s it's so powerful I'm like the coolest kid in School no one can beat me and I still am I've been holding this record for 2 or 3 years
I mean it's the same thing one is faster than slower so it doesn't mean oh the one that I want to slow the third one is faster that's mean you can't say that to him Tamagotchi you if I said that to you how do you feel you but if you're sad right so why would you say that
As much i love digi vpets. I am not 100% sure if every tamagochi is inferior, i mean if you get a first gen 1 vpet, unless you get 2 you wont be making most of it in comparison to tamagochi. Also the newer tamagochi on has a lot of stuff to do! They indeed are in color but i still prefer the charm of the good old pixels ahahah I mean people been wanting bigger screened digi vpets but i dunno i like them the way they are. Although i also dont own an X i thing that one specifically was a great game changer for the vpets. I do hope Z isnt just a simple re ash or it would be kinda disappointing . I think the only thing vpets need is content to do, more then anything else, but that is just me. And like Tamagochi on has all these areas to visit and such which gives it a whole lot more variety.
I wouldn't say that tamagotchi is an inferior vpet series, they definitely both have strengths and weaknesses! I just wanted to point out things that I really enjoy about Digimon.
Understandable so far i have been enjoying my first v pet which i got recently, cause some years prior i didnt new v pets where a thing only digivices XDDD And i believe in my country we only got the very first gen 1 and nothing more and even those were rare. So been very happy with my 20th and its been a far more better experience then the tamagochi i owned. Then again it is an old one ahaha I just do believe Tamagochi On are quite superior to most vpets and only comparable to the X series. I just dont own any so i cannot say for sure Plus even the batteries are different XD PS: Watching your video before Kakujos new video release was funny XD
Shitty thing is they throw all the tech towards tamagotchi and digimon are still so primitive.Digimon bring all the guys together tho and do battle. I do hate pendulum and the hand scanning thing because I got no idea how to use it.The latest vital bracelet suck in that is luck base attack too
Look into the lore, tomogachi, Digimon and something about witches are all the same “universe” different worlds within it and monsters/creatures/babies whatever you wanna call them. All go to eachothers world. Namimon is a good example it this. The lore that “makes no sense” is usually because of this.
I don't know what is going on with the buttons. I hadn't gotten a tamagochi in like 2 decades. I of course HAVE to get the R2D2. The year of our Lord, 2021/22, the buttons are still terrible. How.
Oh no, really? I've noticed that with the recent nanos but mine eventually wear down and aren't so hard to push. The nano models before late 2021 and this year had really great buttons so I have no idea what happened
Digimon definitely have more potential then tamagotchi, if Bandai put their heart to it and give it all the latest tech...
I got a vb and it was kinda miss it was cool at first but I prefer the x or the og 20 it just has way more depth. It was cool I love the sprites and idea but it felt soulless.
Digimon Virtual Pets would be way bigger if they just released more than just the originals!!
I just wish digimon came out with a color one like we know it’s possible they’ve been doing it for tamagotchi for a while now. At least a backlit device
Hopefully someday 💖
World championships is basically that. Though that game would work way better as a phone app
hey, we've got that fitness bracelet v-pet coming out. IDK how much thatll actually count, but it's there now
@@tripled2096 Is that possible to just get like an Apple Watch app for it? I cant keep adding bracelets to my arms haha
@@tripled2096 barely a vpet tho
Tamagotchi been quiet ever since this video dropped 🤔
we are busy crying. lol
You are not wrong. Digimon > tamagotchi. For starters you get all the same features as a tamagotchi with the added connectivity of battles and jogress. Also, tamagotchi are usually the same and revolve around a chicken, Digimon on the other hand varies greatly from monster to monster.

Then came Digimon and I was like, ok these are dinosaurs and you can battle with them? I am sold.
tbh I really fail to see how most of the original tamagotchi characters look like a chicken at all.
@@guyinthecorner0 i think they are talking about kutchipatchi
agreed! it was usually chicken or human... like mametchi, ninjatchi... etc.

I haven't used any of the new tamagotchis, but I think the connection is far better than the original. The original rerelease was just awful to me
I think the original has its charm for sure, but the connection series is sooo much better lol
(I know this is late but) it would’ve been really nice to see a definitive version of the OG Tamas like how they did for Digimon’s 20th anniversary.
Quieter beeping, all the Gen 1 and 2 Tamas, better buttons, the extra casing styles.. no wonder it just sorta feels lame compared to Digimon.
Hurts to say cause I love the designs of those little guys. Least there’s the Pix model
I just want a Tamagotchi connection relaunch. Also used to watch Digimon but never had one, seen they've remade them and found a glow in the dark one and I'm a sucker for anything glowy, may have to try :3
Yeah most Tamagotchi fans would really love a re-release of the connections. You should try a Digimon vpet, they won't disappoint!

Got my gf a hello kitty tamagotchi and she loves it. Then I got her a digimon so I could battle her. Now she likes digimon more. Lol
When you started saying you wanted it to be the best my mind aut0matically started playing Pokemon's original English dub theme song lol. Digimon is definitely more well-known as a TV show than it is a V-pet in the US, but I don't remember Digimon v-pet's ever being marketed on television and you would think they would after the first show was successful.
I had both back in 1997. Digimon was great for break times at school fighting each other but tamagotchi has the place in my heart, even now as a full grown 37 year old man I’ve started collecting all the old p1/p2 non of the newer ones interest me. The simplicity of the old ones is where the magic is.
I agree, the new ones aren't as good as the originals!
Omg yes, I only really noticed the thing with button responsiveness when I ran them both at the same time. It was sooooo annoying 🙈
Was that with the re-released tamagotchi?
With the modern tamagotchis i think we should give them a chance because they have colored ones now and a touch screen which division doesn't have.guys it's just my opinion..
Honestly as someone who collects both, I would **love** a Tamagotchi x Digimon crossover where you can raise both a tama or a digimon, being able to have some sort of combat system (digimons have their evolutions, tamas could pick a class or something like dnd) while also having life sim elements (having likes and dislikes, befriending other ppl, personality traits, etc). I do think what makes Tamagotchi and Digimon very different is that Digimon are a bit more gimmicky and more involved with its combat and evolution system, while Tamagotchi is a bit more casual and easier to raise. It's very dependent on what you want and if you want something a bit more involved.
haha my dream is a digimon tamagotchi nano 😂 the sprites would look so good
Digimon vpets look so cool but damn they’re so expensive,_, maybe some day I’ll be able to buy one feeling that it was a fair price
The digital monster ver 20th English is only $20 USD :)
The problem is when you arent american XDD
In my country for example is only safe to order things around europe cause you risky them getting stuck if they are ordered from outside.
Bought a Digimon 20th yesterday, it should arrive tomorrow. I originally wanted a Tamagotchi because of nostalgia, but then I saw the Digimon and it just feels like there's more to it. I'm very excited to try one of these things as an adult, if I really like the Digimon I might consider getting a Tamagotchi just so I can really compare.
This is a great video and I'm glad I made the right choice!
I remember when i got my tamagotchi as a kid, i was really dedicated in taking good care of my lil' monsta
Tamagotchi have better designs (I prefer the egg shell and no sharp edges); I think the shells of the Digimon are hideous and bulkier. My understanding is that they were marketed towards boys. I don’t want my virtual pet battling, personally. It’s not how I play, but can see how this would be more interactive for others.
not everyone is into the show so they don’t have an interest in the first place. People get tamagotchis cause the colours and characters are cute lol
I like digimon but not because of the show tho I am not a big fan of anime that turned into occidental cartoon, I like it because of the games
I was looking for information regarding the original (digimon) V-Pets and stumbled upon this video. It was really nice and informative since I was never really into tamagotchi.
I like both, but I love Digimon a littlebit more
Ok this is off topic but I LOVE your Demon slayer shirt! 😍
Currently waiting for mine to arrive 😄
You know what I think would be so cool. I just ordered a Keitai akai and I wish there would be a digimon tamagotchi - like a tamagotchi shell and care and like the features of an keitai. Or a tamagotchi digimon where it would be a brick or something like that but you raise the tamagotchi characters to fight with the digimon.
I would love it if tamagotchi characters could battle 😂
Also didn’t realize digimon had a virtual pet until the 20th devices. Bought the first 2 and never went back xD I would love to get a tamagotchi but I have no idea where I would start
Also thank you so much for your content seriously 😊
Digimon will always be my number one. But tamagotchi have grown on me. That's probs because there are alot more people talking digital pets online and more communitys to talk digital pets. Got going to lie. I never do this but I just got 3-4 new tamagotchi coming in the mail. Most because people like you and others in the community make them look so fun.
Haha nice! What all do you have coming? Tamagotchi are a lot of fun, but be careful. It's easy to go overboard and buy a ton 😂
@@laitama well...... I got a Uratama. Because of your stream lol. Then while I was at it I got The family tama, Evatchi (red) because I finally decided and its on backorder, and a Marino tama because I just love the look of it. So I went overboard a bit 😅 So they just got sent out so now I can wait by the post box lol
@@LittleSiri. omg YES those are all great! I can't wait for the evatchi, it looks amazing. The uratama is my all time fave, you're gonna love it!
How do I get gabamon on the original 1997 digivice
wikimon.net/Digital_Monster_Ver._2 here is a guide!
Oh wait you said digivice. I don't really know how to get him on a digivice
logically your points are valid, and it seems people usually go down this digimon hole a few years after first discovering but i just cannot get into them! and they’re sprites are so clunky to me and not that cute, but i will keep trying to get the bug 🤣 also love the variation of gameplay in tamas, especially in the later connection models rather than just battling for all devices.
I totally get the variation of gameplay thing, but I think tamas can get a bit repetitive after a while too (although, if I had to choose between Digimon and an uratama I would have a REALLY hard time deciding lol). Idk why but I actually think Digimon sprites are cuter than tamas 😂 I think it's hilarious how they make these big scary monsters into little sprites you take care of.
I just got a V20 Black Digivice, all I gotta say is that toddler me who grew up watching the anime wouldn't have been able to understand this much. Even now I didn't know much, about using this. But as someone who just recently played a Digimon game (CyberSleuth complete edition on the Switch) I can't say I'm ashamed to get into these around this time. Either ways I'm still enjoying my digivice regardless.
Excellent video btw, I didn't know that both had that much differences aside from the obvious target demographics. Also, I love the Keychain holder better from the Digivices.
P.S Agumon for Smash Ultimate
It's simple. Even if the current digivices have no color (at the time I'm writing this, the digimon color hadn't been released yet) Digimon has more exciting gameplay, more lore, an entire anime franchise, a card game that has not fallen into obscurity, many video games with original stories, a couple of SUB SERIES' and even a couple of rip-offs in the mobile stores trying to replicate the digivice's gameplay (horribly). Does Tomodachi have that?
I grew up with Tamagotchi but getting back into V-Pets this year, I'm much happier with the latest Digimon releases than the Tamas! Its really a shame that the vintage tamagotchi re-releases sell magnitudes more than the Digimon X, when the latter just has so much more love and care put into it and is just more fun overall.
I'll just keep dreaming of a Tamagotchi Connection Anniversary Edition that collects all the bits and baubles from that series, maybe someday it'll happen 😭
The tamagotchi connection turns 20 next year! It's insane haha but I'm sure Japan will at the very least be re-releasing the v1 ❤️
I am finally getting my Digimon X tomorrow. I am a newly Digimon owner once I get my Digimon X. Are these like a hybrid between Tamas and Pokemon?
Honestly I kind of got pokemon vibes when I first played a Digimon vpet! Only because of the battling aspect though. Other than that, they are quite different!
You convinced me to get a digimon.. It sounds really fun and I love that there is a clear objective
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it :)
@@laitama update: I got two Digimon X and I love them!
@@slivka_1 omg yay 🥰 did you get the X1 or X2?
I just got one after watching this i had never heard of them before that. Yes i like it alot. Considering it only has half the technology of my tamagotchi Pix that says something about their untapped potential in the market.
Really cool video! Was interesting to hear about Tamagotchi cos I know next to nothing about them.
Nice work with the two cameras, lookin’ ace ❤️
Aw thanks, I was actually inspired to use the two camera angles because of your videos 😂🙈✨
Thoughts on Monster Hunter collab?
it's really cool and I think this could open the door to more Digimon collabs in the future! I don't think I'm going to preorder, hopefully the fomo won't be too bad when they are released haha
@@laitama exactly! So excited for possible collabs. In my case fomo got me horrible, preordered both of them. Will be my first V-Pet not counting the vital bracelet
Also the 20ths would be perfect if they had added the V6 egg.
YES EXACTLY
I'm genuinely surprised there hasn't been a wave 4 of the ENG devices announced with an updated Wave 6 egg.
The reason the 20th didn’t include a Ver 6 egg, is because that egg was technically never part of the Digimon vpet line. The Digimon Vpet line ended with V5. Version 6 (aka: Nature Spirit) was the start of the PENDULUM line. Yes, Australia released it as a regular Vpet Digimon, but that was an anomaly. The V6 egg belongs to the pendulum line (it’s in the Nature Spirit Pendulum).
The pendulum part is deceiving. Unlike Digivice, pendulums are NOT pedometers and don’t have the ability to count your steps. They’re really just normal Vpets like the originals.
The only thing that shaking feature does is replace the button mashing preparation for battle. Other than that, pendulums are exactly like regular Vpet Digimon, only WAY more fun because of the extra battle feature (colosseum) and the ability to Jogress.
Olá, eu tenho 14 anos e sou do Brasil, eu tenho um tamagotchi geração 2 mas eu gostaria muito de ter um digimon, eu achei esse Tamagotchi em específico um pouco chato e meu pai disse que ia comprar outro só que melhor, e eu estou pensando se eu peço o Digimon de 20th aniversário que brilha no escuro que está com o preço bem baixo na Amazon, ou se eu compro um tamagotchi pix que é colorido, você poderia me ajudar a escolher dando sua opinião? Eu estou em dúvida entre o tamagotchi pix e o Digimon que brilha no escuro e eu gostaria de um virtual pet que seja divertido e que não canse muito cedo, que tenha bastantes funcionalidades e bastante coisa pra fazer, se puder me ajudar eu agradeço muito.
You should buy the Digimon! It's so much fun, and cheaper than the pix. I love the glow in the dark version :)
I saw the thumbnail and noticed that you put the same cage on your translucent blue device as I did
oh man, i just subbed to your channel and I just opened the gate into these digimon virtual pet I need one!
aww thanks for the sub! they have really cheap Digimon vpets on Amazon, lmk if you need a link
I just bought my first ever Digimon Pendulum but I have no clue how it works can you please help
Which version of pendulum is it? Original pendulum, pendulum 20th or pendulum z?
My friend and I would battle our Digimon back in elementary school. I would always win because mine would always evolve into Greymon and his would evolve into some blob thing.
Which digimon one is the purple and green looking one?
I assume it's my Digimon original v3 but I didn't go back and watch the video 😂
Did U get the Digimon Pendulum Color?
I did! here is a video where I unbox mine ❤️ th-cam.com/users/liveXht1DuO2n30?feature=share
The thumbnail has a lot of *You're FIRED!* vibes
whered u get the purp digivice?????????????
Even though you're cute and have a nice curly hair, please use a digimon on the thumbnail ^_^
I’ve got a wonderswan and have been wanting to get the Digimon attachment for battling the vpets 😅
I used to have a wonderswan with the connector! it's a lot of fun
@@laitama it would have been big if it came to the states 😅 I remember doing the vpet battles with friends at school
I 100% agree there is just so much more gameplay and interaction with Digimon
i saw a demon slayer tamagotchi and knew i had to have one
The fact you have to give a disclaimer before a v let comparison is crazy lol
LOL it's rough out here
today i just open up my digimon old gen1 v1,2,3... all 3 of them screen dead/dead pixel... damn sad, now only can keeping them with box as memory.
I don't have any friends who like vpets. I don't know anyone that has one... So I can't battle anyone. Maybe that's why I enjoy tamagotchi more.
The newer tamagotchis doesn't seem like fun, except the black and white ones.
I hope some Chinese will make their own digimon version except with modernized digivice with camera hd screen etc since bandai is still living in the 90th lol
Let's be real Digimon is the way to go. The lore Digimon has is what keeps me beyond interested. Keep up the work! Any interest in the new TCG?
I am interested for sure, just haven't got around to buying yet! Looking to order some soon
Amazing! I look forward to the content. I'm glad to find another channel that does Digimon content. I've always wanted a V pet. i haven't had one in 6 years. i lost my Season 3 Digivice at college. RIP Guilmon. I use Cardboard collectibles for my Digimon Battle spirits/TCGs! im looking forward to the next video, keep swaggin' shawty
I'm in interested in the TCG and I wanna get the new evolution booster box
3 years later and we still dont have a color version with more modern tech...id ont count the fitness bracelet thingy, gosh i hate that thing
If we're going of fact Digimon created a franchise tamigatchi didn't that means it was more popular meaning its undeniably better clearly they did something to make it so popular however I feel if your looking for a faveruite it's personal preference and nostalgia so it depends on the person
Where’s part 2 🥺🥺🥺
They must have had chips with higher clock speed on the digimons 🤔
Lol!“ He just kinda boops around... “ love it.
laitama: " digimon is better than tamagotchi!"
Bandi 2022: * casually releases a new Tamagotchi that's in color, has touchscreen, and count your steps *
You forgot about the Nano Fighters....?
Because digimon is life! hahahahah Digimon para sempre!
My digimon beat up all the tamogatchi. While I chant "digimon digital monsters digimon are the champions" lol
Like the videos keep it up. I got sucked into this underground w0rld of digimon vpet junkies. Im a junkie now. Cant help it theyre so fun and loved digimon since the original vpets and show. I never knew they kept them going for so long
I loved your video. I couldn't agree more.x
I agree with you! I've collected tamagotchi since '97 & never really knew about digimon virtual pets. Got into digimon in 2017 & I love them so much more
Digimon is more fun
It has more options and you get way more characters
Also my digimon is way quieter than my tamagotchi which I find to be a win because my sister is always yelling at me to turn the volume off on my tama
Started collecting ITS MY NEW OBSESSION
Not crazy
Im just weird 😃
Digimon > Tamagotchi
Digimon V-pets have done a lot more things than the tamagotchi & can be relatable to characters who have them in the manga & games.
Bandai: "That's my boy"
accept colors which tama's have an edge over
@@dust5717 true. I like the color scheme and designs the tamagotchi has
You know Tama's were made first and has tons of features and ones in color?...Digimon just a cheap version and it just look like a mc donalds toy tbh 🤐
I think each does what they do very well. Digimon is the better over all toy/game. Tamagtotchi is the better overall appeal/aesthetic. That's just my opinion. I've been enjoying my Ver. 20s and Xs lately, but for overall design, Tamagotchi can't be beat. Also, Tamagotchi had LCD games and Gameboy games that included the design I love, with a little bit more gaming element to it. I haven't found that additional element outside of Digimon proper, but that could just be me not looking.. Overall, being a fan of both is a win/win for me.
Funny that you mentioned that, I've actually been playing a game on stream that is very similar to the tamagotchi Gameboy games! It's called the digital monster version wonderswan
@@laitama that sounds cool and I'll have to check it out. I just picked up a Wonderswan and the Digimon game and connector to fight it with actual Digimon. I think that video game fix just never came to the states thanks to being locked to the Wonderswan.
My parents said no I can't get a pet so I got a Digimon I have an omegamon alter s it's so powerful I'm like the coolest kid in School no one can beat me and I still am I've been holding this record for 2 or 3 years
I mean it's the same thing one is faster than slower so it doesn't mean oh the one that I want to slow the third one is faster that's mean you can't say that to him Tamagotchi you if I said that to you how do you feel you but if you're sad right so why would you say that
Thank you for this beautiful video x
As much i love digi vpets. I am not 100% sure if every tamagochi is inferior, i mean if you get a first gen 1 vpet, unless you get 2 you wont be making most of it in comparison to tamagochi.
Also the newer tamagochi on has a lot of stuff to do! They indeed are in color but i still prefer the charm of the good old pixels ahahah
I mean people been wanting bigger screened digi vpets but i dunno i like them the way they are.
Although i also dont own an X i thing that one specifically was a great game changer for the vpets.
I do hope Z isnt just a simple re ash or it would be kinda disappointing . I think the only thing vpets need is content to do, more then anything else, but that is just me.
And like Tamagochi on has all these areas to visit and such which gives it a whole lot more variety.
I wouldn't say that tamagotchi is an inferior vpet series, they definitely both have strengths and weaknesses! I just wanted to point out things that I really enjoy about Digimon.
Understandable so far i have been enjoying my first v pet which i got recently, cause some years prior i didnt new v pets where a thing only digivices XDDD
And i believe in my country we only got the very first gen 1 and nothing more and even those were rare. So been very happy with my 20th and its been a far more better experience then the tamagochi i owned.
Then again it is an old one ahaha
I just do believe Tamagochi On are quite superior to most vpets and only comparable to the X series.
I just dont own any so i cannot say for sure
Plus even the batteries are different XD
PS: Watching your video before Kakujos new video release was funny XD
I would like to digimon battle with you one day..... Are you on?
Shitty thing is they throw all the tech towards tamagotchi and digimon are still so primitive.Digimon bring all the guys together tho and do battle. I do hate pendulum and the hand scanning thing because I got no idea how to use it.The latest vital bracelet suck in that is luck base attack too
Look into the lore, tomogachi, Digimon and something about witches are all the same “universe” different worlds within it and monsters/creatures/babies whatever you wanna call them. All go to eachothers world. Namimon is a good example it this. The lore that “makes no sense” is usually because of this.
Music star had a bunch of new stuff for tamagotchi but yah digimon is a boys toy so its a bit more complex which kinda sucks cuz tamagotchi is fun
Do you have nine Tamagotchi's and you have to give some away give me one now I want one I want the purple one
because they are more "interactive" i mean ... you can battle them :D
I don't know what is going on with the buttons. I hadn't gotten a tamagochi in like 2 decades. I of course HAVE to get the R2D2. The year of our Lord, 2021/22, the buttons are still terrible. How.
Oh no, really? I've noticed that with the recent nanos but mine eventually wear down and aren't so hard to push. The nano models before late 2021 and this year had really great buttons so I have no idea what happened
Digimon battle and their designs aren't lame.
Digimon virtual pets > Tamagotchi.
You're not wrong.
Agreed!
It feels like Batman
