    I had a Tamagotchi, but it was the original Digimon toys that I was really obsessed with. I got my friend into it too so that I had someone to battle with. We were even raising them in class. We had all sorts of hypotheses about what made them stronger, which were probably based on no real evidence. I had a bulking-cutting strategy where I force fed my 'mon to increase its weight and then trained it until it reached the minimum weight for its rank.

    I picked up an anniversary digivice a few years ago, I should replace the battery and raise some more digimon.

      It’s absolutely mad to me that Sonic Team have done nothing with this since SA2: Battle.

      I hate to say it, but it’s literally built for mobile devices! Have a Chao Garden game on consoles/PC, have them be downloadable onto your mobile device, and basically turn it into a Pokémon Go type thing where you can get kids and weebs to exercise and explore the outdoors.

        Kind of sort of? It’s exclusive to that watch for one thing which is pretty damn limiting. But it doesn’t have like The kind of online features I dream about in a chao game. Like imagine the kindergarten from that but it’s completely online you drop it off in an online class with other peoples and it can learn from them as well or something like that.
