Digimon Video Games Intro
CA: So, you want to try Digimon, but you're not sure where to start.
CA: Luckily for you, I have several suggestions!
CA: Generally speaking, I would start with the sub of Digimon Adventure, but if you're looking for a video game recommendation, then I have some suggestions to share.
CA: It depends a lot on what you're looking for in a game experience, and I feel like Digimon in particular has a lot of different mechanics to choose from, so I'm here to help!
CA: I'm going to start from the most obvious choice for people who are new to Digimon and are maybe more familiar with Pokemon.

Digimon Story
CA: The Digimon Story series is a collection of
Digimon video games that tend to focus on a combination of monster collecting and RPG battling.
CA: If you're looking for an experience similar to Pokemon, this is likely the place to start.
CA: However, as per usual when comparing two series, I would caution against taking all of your assumptions from Pokemon and placing them on Digimon.
CA: My experience with Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and its sequel Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory were that they placed a lot of emphasis on character interactions,
CA: Therefore, if you are a person who was a little frustrated at how often the characters in Pokemon X and Y or Pokemon Sun and Moon would have a Plot Important Moment, interrupting your game flow, I don't think that these games would be a good fit.
CA: If you're going into them with the expectation of character development and the main focus of the game being that, with the Digimon raising and battling being a secondary part of the game, then I personally had a good time.
CA: However, if you're exclusively looking for interacting with the Digimon without interruptions, I would steer clear.

V-Pets
CA: If you're looking to see the origins of Digimon and see what is unique about it,
I feel that there is no better introduction than the original Virtual Pets.
CA: My personal starting point was the Digital Monster X, specifically version B with Dracomon X as one of the Child stage.
CA: As a result, I've become very attached to Dracomon as a Partner Digimon.
CA: I originally got this version of the V-Pet because my favorite Digimon at the time was Gabumon, and the V-Pet that I chose had Gabumon X as one of its Child stages.
CA: Each version of the V-Pets have their own mechanics, and I would personally recommend the DMX series because they allow you to "freeze" a Digimon, halting their progress towards evolution, but also allowing you to take a break.
CA: I have tried the Digital Monster Ver. 20th, specifically the glow-in-the-dark version, but while I was a fan of getting to raise two Digimon at a time, I wasn't prepared to take care of a V-Pet without the "freeze" option.
CA: While this behavior is more faithful to the original Digimon V-Pets, I wasn't personally a fan, even with the updated roster and being able to raise two Digimon at once.
CA: A different version that I was interested in was the Digimon Pendulum Ver. 20th, which includes a mechanic where you have to physically shake the V-Pet to attack and train.
CA: While it's an interesting shake-up to the experience, I can't personally share any experience with it as of the moment.
CA: However, do not let this deter you; while I don't have experience, I'm interested in trying it at some point!
CA: The last V-Pet that I have experience with is the Digital Monster COLOR - Monster Hunter version.
CA: My partner and I have been fans of Monster Hunter as long as we have been together, and I thought that a fun way to get them into Digimon was to get these special edition V-Pets for both of us to raise together.
CA: Both of the two shells have the same roster, so either one that you get, Rathalos or Zinogre, will have the same roster of monsters to raise.
CA: I would personally recommend the Humulos website for information on the Evolution Tree for any V-Pet, and for more information on how to raise these fun little monsters.
CA: If you're looking for a unique experience from Digimon, V-Pets are the way to go.
CA: Many versions of the V-Pet are around $20 USD on the internet, and I would recommend looking up different V-Pets to see which version and roster would best fit you.
CA: There are communities based around raising these keychain critters, and I would highly suggest checking them out!
