I am one of those that enjoyed the heck of this release mainly because when I was a kid I've always wanted a colored V1 and V2 but it didnt happen. Now im already 34 and finally this thing became a reality!
I didn't end up getting one due to the limited roster and already having so many similar vpets. Once they release a color pendulum or color DMX or something like that, I'll be all over it.
I bought the white version two and I love it. I currently have a skullgreymon on it. I cannot stress enough how amazing the screen is. Yeah, the color is cool, but the big draw for me is the backlit screen. It is amazing to play in low light levels.
Look at the color Tamagotchi's, you can add people from across the world with QR codes and go on play dates. They need to do that with Digimon with battles and I will fork over my money
My thought about the roster is that people expected it to be like 20th way too much, it was like this the whole time even in X they still has one (But huge) roster. Also the compatibility that only do Battles with the Color, it's telling that "Yes we will make more Color series" and it's kinda confirmed in the Dot History book that they're making ver.3-5 right now. I think these two things means they're using the different in programs to previous devices, and since it's become color sprites with backlitght LCD screen that can change background of cause it eats up a lot more data than just black dots on static builtin background so starting with one but stable roster than multiple make sense. It just being too expensive and hard to get to as it's P-Bandai. I hope that this ver.1-2 P-Bandai lot is about testing the water and Mr.Kenji Watanabe's art for collection then release them normally with ver.3-5 for easier access and be a bit cheaper afterward, since they only connect to Color it wouldn't be good commercial strategy to limit them with P-Bandai as a toy like this should be getting to more people.
I sadly don't anticipate the color being able to connect to older devices even in the later versions because it seems like there seems to be a different voltage output compared to older devices.
I'd agree with you if I hadn't seen the data mining they did on this thing. So it turns out the memory chip is 8Mb but it only uses 3 for everything that makes up this game/device.
@@aikou2886 Huh, so they just really are testing the water then. By doing one roster and see how people's gonna react to it, also it's the start of the new line so they fully go for nostalgia first and then improve. I guess we can have higher hope for Pendulum Color.
The rosters are tiny, but I still got both versions to support more Classic Vpets. It's worth it to my, but Zenin just shipped them out yesterday, and I want it sooner! Lol
Apparently they mentioned that they're working on a ver.3-5 so hopefully they'll combine rosters for the pendulum cause I think it'll be so ridiculous to do a 1-6 for that one too
This looks like such a fun and usable device for the average Digimon fan, or someone who has a large amount of nostalgia for the original toy. I'm really looking into getting this for me and my friend, though this is pretty expensive. Hopefully, the price goes down soon as more people start buying it.
I definitely love it and the battery life lasted a week for me out of the box before I needed to charge it. I also like the QoL additions with low battery and charge complete icons on-screen with your Digimon rather than being hidden in that C button menu. I do think to get the most out of the device you need both a ver 1 & 2 (& hopefully Bandai will release the 3-5...maybe 6 soon)! I also got mine from JYW! My only gripe is actually the USB C charging. To protect the battery you still need to use a 5W old iPhone charger brick so I do have to swap cables when charging it. Would have almost been better if they stuck with micro USB like the VB/BE so it could have been 1 cable for my Digimons (or given the BE a type C connector....it's just so weird what Bandai did).
I wish the VB had a type-C, but yeah, if they have the micro-USB on every other device released around the same time -- Tamagotchi included --, why the hell only this one has type-C??? Talk about inconsistency.
So this digimon device randomly came into mind earlier. I was trying to explain it to my 7 year old son about it. Then I looked on here to show him videos and I had no idea they were still making them. But now he freaking wants them. 😅
I definitely recommend the Digimon 20ths! They're on Amazon for a good price and have a lot of different Digimon to raise! I have a few videos on them on my channel! Hope you have fun with them with your son!
I always dream a color vpet, vb not scratch my itch on vpet, its feel like training device not digimon vpet device, after playing for awhile damn I love it the only downside is small rooster and crazy stupid price hoping it got retail price…
It was said beforehand that it'd only connect to other color versions. It's understandable tbh, the hardware is probably really different, so it probaly doesn't even run the same coding as the B&W pets, it'd be impossible to transfer the colored sprites to the older versions due to coding compatibility, and it'd be quite a strange processing to the connection from older pets to the colored one: would the sprites appear in B&W or colored?
This could definitely connect to older devices if they coded it in. The main issue that I've seen is that the voltage coming out of the prongs is incompatible with the devices and even our current D-coms. I'm hoping in a few months we'll have full compatibility with W0RLD and the A-com
Great video! I just got mine today! The only thing I feel like I'll nitpick on (last digivice I had was V1) , it needs so much attention! V1 could be left alone for the whole day and it wouldn't be an issue. This one constantly beeps like gaddamn boi
I ended up getting three of these. Both version 1 colors and a white version 2. My brick red v1 showed up doa it wouldn’t charge or turn on. So I decided to attempt to fix it instead of returning it like I should have done. And it wouldn’t work. So I bought the blue v1 and white v2 and after they showed up I ended up getting the brick red v1 working. I still like the pendulum 20ths and DMX2 rosters more but these classic rosters are great. I’m hoping they sell well enough for Bandai to make the version 3-5 and hopefully v6 and the pendulums too
I'm still waiting for mine to be shipped but the one thing I don't like is the fact that traited eggs don't seem to be guaranteed anymore. They do serve a purpose and make the Digimon stronger (they were utteely useless in the DM20 since guaranteed evos were a thing) so I guess that balances things out.
@@Xanaxdu They were guaranteed (as long as your Digimon spent at least 48 hrs on its last form). What wasn't guaranteed was the evolution chance (a traited egg just increased it a bit further), which was the main point of raising several generations instead of just re-setting because your Digimon didn't evolve.
I don’t understand that at the same price point the tamagotchi uni from Bandai has a ton of features, you can connect to WiFi, you can buy items, hell you can even marry off your tama! And the Digimon colours new features? It’s in colour. Wow. Make it make sense.
Only if you mod it which isn't something I'd recommend if you're not comfortable with opening things like this up along with the other steps. I think DigitalDream09 has a video of him hacking his if you want an idea of how it works

hello, really nice video :) I hesitate to buy a vpet the only reluctance I have is about the language, is it possible to switch it to English or is a majority of the content in English? same question for the bracelet, is it possible to put it in English? (I saw that the application was in English) thank you :)
There are people who have figured out how to mod it but it's not simple and just like the previous commenter mentioned the understanding of the Japanese language isn't needed to enjoy it. I don't speak a lick of it lol definitely check my shorts out if you want some more tips on how to navigate the device
i recently pre-ordered this slection bundle with two dims on Zenin and i don't know if that one is english or not. i've been looking around for ansers to no avail, like will the vial be's from zenin be in english or japanese? or should i cancel and look elsewhere?
There is currently no English version of the BE dims the only thing that shows text is the Digimon names anyway so it's no big deal. The color is also only in Japanese but just watch my videos on it and you should see that it's very simple to run without knowing Japanese
I am one of those that enjoyed the heck of this release mainly because when I was a kid I've always wanted a colored V1 and V2 but it didnt happen. Now im already 34 and finally this thing became a reality!
I'm so excited for the V3 it's one of my favorites!
I didn't end up getting one due to the limited roster and already having so many similar vpets. Once they release a color pendulum or color DMX or something like that, I'll be all over it.
A color pendulum would be so dope!
A color progress, or even a Pendulum X would be great.
I've been waiting for a pendulum for na for so long ..
And it's coming! Get your preorder on!

Yeah the screen is so amazing it's unreal
Is It possible to play PVP with this ?
@@genecicordeirodossantosjun5037 direct pvp, yes. With a D-Com (as far as I know), nope. I’m sure fans will figure that out though.
I really wanted to snag this thing...and then I saw the roster LOL. I'm really glad people are enjoying it though!
It's a really cute device but for the price it's hard to swallow
Look at the color Tamagotchi's, you can add people from across the world with QR codes and go on play dates. They need to do that with Digimon with battles and I will fork over my money
Oh absolutely
it will happen at some point, the fact that they changed the hardware so much its telling something
Good review. And nice Kenny Omega shirt! XD
🤘🤘

do you aware they release these in pairs ?

@@Xanaxdu I have 0 pendulum style pets, so a combined roster Pen Color would be a dream come true.
Solid review, I skipped on it due to the price for such a small roster. I'd bet they release another version in the future. Also, great shirt!!
Yeah it's a really cool collection piece but it comes at a bit too high of a premium. Also thanks! I love that shirt lol

The price will most likely do the opposite. If you missed out Zenintcg has it still for a fair price or wait for the Color version 3,4 and 5

Is there a PVP for it ? With wi-fi battles
I was wondering this also he mentions an online mode briefly in this video. Does anyone know if this is possible
Great video! I just got mine today! The only thing I feel like I'll nitpick on (last digivice I had was V1) , it needs so much attention! V1 could be left alone for the whole day and it wouldn't be an issue. This one constantly beeps like gaddamn boi
Yeah the Newer ones have been a bit more nerdier than back in the day lol
i want a dm x color with cross compatability ....its been a year have THEY announced anything regarding this?
I ended up getting three of these. Both version 1 colors and a white version 2.
My brick red v1 showed up doa it wouldn’t charge or turn on. So I decided to attempt to fix it instead of returning it like I should have done. And it wouldn’t work.

Digimon is the red headed step child as far as bandais concerned lol
I own all four and love them!
Dang all 4?? you planning on getting all the variations of the next versions too?
@@Xanaxdu most likely yeah lol
Hello, it can connect with Digimon X ver. To do battle? Thanks
The Digimon Color can only connect to other Digimon colors
I've been wanting a device like this for years
SAME I hope we get color pendulums soon
Any Chance they make these in English sometime soon?
I wouldn't hold my breath. They're usable without the need to know japanese
I'm looking forward to them hopefully making a X version that'd be sweeeet.
An X color would be absolutely amazing!
@@Xanaxdu honestly the X devices are way more fun plus the sprites would look awesome
Totally!
I found out there's a option to save and turn off digimon color but the question is does the digimon freeze?
Yeah if the device is off it essentially freezes the Digimon
I don't know if you need to use Acom to fight?
The device has a way to battle without having to connect to another device. The A com seems to work too if you want to unlock the backgrounds
can you change language to english? i thought i saw a screenshot of an english menu
Only if you mod it which isn't something I'd recommend if you're not comfortable with opening things like this up along with the other steps. I think DigitalDream09 has a video of him hacking his if you want an idea of how it works
Just wish Bandai just standardize an English release

@@Xanaxdu thank you very much ! I'm considering buying on vital be and one vpet color ^^
Are they going to make online battle of some sort officially?
Officially? Probably not. There is a fan community all about that though!
@@Xanaxdu we're not getting the fun from usb c then 😕. Thats a feature wasted.
Can you set it to english?
No but it's not a big deal. I don't speak Japanese but I was able to use it just fine
Quick question!
Whilst you're charging the device, does your Digimon pause and/or sleep automatically? Should I put it nap before charging my device?
They don't pause when charging
i recently pre-ordered this slection bundle with two dims on Zenin and i don't know if that one is english or not.
i've been looking around for ansers to no avail, like will the vial be's from zenin be in english or japanese?
or should i cancel and look elsewhere?
There is currently no English version of the BE dims the only thing that shows text is the Digimon names anyway so it's no big deal. The color is also only in Japanese but just watch my videos on it and you should see that it's very simple to run without knowing Japanese
@@Xanaxdu Ok thank you. For some reason i just couldn't get an answer to that no matter where i looked .
I still have my original one from 1999
I want this in english.
It's more than usable in its current state thankfully
I wait for the Version 3 release
And 5 cause i need my godzilla boyos
Mine just shipped! 😬
Awesome! I hope you have fun with it
I believe that the color screen takes away the charm…idk..I prefer no color
Just need a backlight lol
I will wait patiently and buy when pendulum 20th color release 😆
Pick a fave from the original pendulums or save mad money because I am terrified they'll do this again with the pendulums and that would be awful lol
Me too, I will wait DMX color version because I love the features more variable items and Quest 😂
Why they put in phone ?
It sold 75 dollars .
I'm a simple man , I see Xanaxdu I click on video
It's honestly a waste of money
WAY too expensive
Totally agree
the fact that theres only 1 egg makes this so unattractive. why Bandai.
Definitely to squeeze more money out of us cause there's enough room on these to hold both ver.1 and 2 on one device
