In short I think it's both Bandai's answer to Pokemon GO (In potentially being seen as helping encourage exercise for kids and encouraging you to go outside and explore more) while still retaining very Digimon-like elements as a natural successor to traditional V-Pets. It incorporates a lot of Digimon themes including the link between you and your partner through your own health and movement into the digimon's development and evolution while still retaining the classic raise to battle elements. This seems very digimon-esque in still utilizing a type of "digivice" like item rather than just making this a V-Pet app. The key features of this games are: 80 digimon available to discover Touch screen interface Day-Night cycle, not in real-time. You feed, rest and train your digimon as you aim to discover the stats required to get it to progress to the next level. either only appeared in a manga or not at all.Īnd yeah it seems to be both a natural evolution of traditional V-Pets, as in carrying around a device that you can raise a little monster in with the benefits of utilizing current technology like using a smartphone app. Digimon V-Pet is a virtual pet game made for Petit Computer for DSiWare and Nintendo 3DS that features over 80 digimon from the digimon franchise.
Virtual pet simulation, feed, clean, sleep, train, battle, give medicine. Different evolutions depending on how you take care of it. However other V-Pet releases like the Accel, Twins, Mini etc. Features: -Hatch your own monster and take care of it. Since Digimon Adventure: is currently airing and is planning to continue on to 60+ episodes, I doubt there'd be an anime associated with this at least until like 2022 if ever, who knows maybe they'll incorporate elements of the Vital Bracelet or have Pulsemon cameo in Adventure: as a tie-in.
They'll probably release more Promo videos with this live-action/hybrid model showcasing and detailing more features, more digimon etc. My guess is that this is episode 1 as in the first promotional video.
