and it have been a massive success so far, so Digimon might get kicked to the street sooner than we think

Im not seeing the V-pet part of that. They are plastic pogs. And let's be real those kinds of things only last like 4 years tops. Even if bandai drops digimon they will pick it back up eventually.

>>743379903
This is just Digimon but even more furry.

>>743380237
it's in the manga lore
the creatures come from another universes through dimensional hole and get adopted by humans, the exact same plot as digimon, and they even digievovle when the pog thingy get flipped

it's not digi-evolution, it's the main gameplay gimmick. you pick either darkside or lightside as your faction and if your opponent flips the pog you lose.

You say that but Bandai's other VPET Tamagotchis actually look like they come from this century. So I don't know why they left Digimon to stagnate with 90s tech.

>>743383859
Oh no, if only DigitalPartner and Digital Tamer 02 and VBBE were a thing...

>>743387275

I fucking hate that piece of shit. Horrible grind and boring combat. I haven't really tried the other two. I have Digipartner downloaded, so I'll play it right now, and I didn't know there was a VB fangame. Unless you're talking about the actual Fitbit. That was also shitty.

>>743387590
I just like the watch because it's a pretty decent implementation of user action influencing digimon stats, at least in the hack you can get off trooncord which streamlines some aspects and adds some features.

>>743362468

>I never had a Digidevice but Tamagotchi are fun. Idk if Tamagotchi characters could make as good of a JRPG as Time Stranger though lol

Probably not, but maybe something like Digimon World but with more focus on exploration, town building and puzzle solving could work for a Tamagotchi game.

>>743388063
Maybe I'm just a fatso, but I didn't like it. I thought it was more of a digivice than a virtual pet. It didn't have enough mechanics for me. I want the full experience. I want the shitting, I want injury, and I want an adventure mode that is on par with the Digimon Xes.
Also, I have played Digital Partner and dropped it for being ass. I just forgot to uninstall it.

But what >>743379204 is arguably the biggest middle finger I've ever had from a dev, since they killed their very successful and fun Tribes Ascend that people loved to dedicate to a MOBA, then pushed this out and loaded it with a year worth of AI slop battle pass and other microtransactions out of the gate and were swinging that if it failed it was the player's fault for letting it happen. They still sell it despite it being completely dead on their servers according to Steam reviews, so yeah.

Vpets don't even make that much money. It's a niche product that costs nothing to produce and sells reliably to a dedicated user base. I can't imagine a mobile vpet would have any significant impact on its sales at all, and even if it did, it'd take them so little to start outselling their vpets.

All they had to do was basically remake the digivices but modernized for mobile and it would be perfect

I am fine with gachas, though the only idlers ive played are dedicated browser ones like a dark room and candybox 2.
I think weed inc ive also played way back when.
Purely reviewing the game ignoring the IP, Digimon Up is terribly designed as a phone game (the button you mash will force you to sell your equipment and equip dogshit drops), the idle gameplay itself is just pulling gachas ad infinitum to get better numbers since there is no such thing as builds. You pull gacha for your supportmons, you pull gacha for support tamers, you pull gacha for your support cards. Everything has a timer and an ad attached to it.
