The franchise was created in 1997 as aseries of digital pets,and it was intended as the masculine counterpart toTamagotchi.The creatures were first designed to look cute and iconic even on the devices' small screens. Later developments had them created with a harder-edged style, which was influenced by Americancomics.The franchise gained momentum with an early video game,Digimon World,originally released in Japan in January 1999. Several anime series and films have been released;the video game serieshas expanded into genres, such asrole-playing,racing,fighting,andMMORPGs.The franchise generated over $500 million in sales by 2000.[1]

Conception and creation

Further information:Digital Monster
Virtual petmodel distributed on the Japanese market byBandai,[2]that allowed the popularization ofDigimoninJapan.

TheDigimonfranchise began as a series of virtual pets created by WiZ and Bandai, intended as a masculine counterpart to the more female-orientedTamagotchipets.[3][4]It was released in June 1997[2]with the nameDigimon,[5]short forDigital Monster.[6][7]This device shows to players avirtual petcomposed entirely of data and designed to play and fight.[2][5][8][9]In February 1998, theDigiMonfighting game, compatible withWindows 95and developed by Rapture Technologies, Inc., was announced.[10]Theone-shotmangaC'mon Digimon,designed by Tenya Yabuno, was published in the Japanese magazineV-JumpbyShueishain 1997.[11]

A second generation ofvirtual petswas marketed six months after the launch of the first, followed by a third in 1998.[12]Each player starts with a baby-level digital creature that has a limited number of attacks and transformations[13]and to make the creature stronger by training and nourishing the creature;[2][5]when the player is successful in a workout, the Digimon becomes strong, when the player fails, the Digimon becomes weak.[2][5]Two devices can be connected, allowing two players to battle with their respective creatures, an innovation at the time,[2]however, the battle is only possible from the moment the creature is in the child level or bigger.[2]Playgrounds and subways were where the majority of users of the apparatus were concentrated; the virtual pet was banned in some Asian schools, being considered by parents and teachers as very noisy and violent.[14]The first Digimon were created by Japanese designer Kenji Watanabe, influenced by Americancomics,which were beginning to gain popularity in Japan, and as such began to make his characters look stronger and "cool." Other types of Digimon, which until the year 2000 totalled 279,[15][16]came from extensive discussions and collaborations between the Bandai company members.[17]

The original Digital Monster model that was released in 1997 sold14 millionunits worldwide, including 13 million units in Japan and 1 million overseas, up until March 2004.[18]By 2005, more than24 millionDigital Monster units had been sold worldwide.[19]

Premise

Several media in the franchise are contained within their owncontinuity;however, they all share a similar setting and premise. For instance, mostDigimonstories begin with a human child, who comes into contact with a Digimon. This generally occurs either through an accidental entrance into the so-called Digital World[20]or an encounter with a Digimon who has come into the human world.[21]The child or children then often find themselves equipped with a "digivice", which is a device modelled after the series' virtual pets; this device enables them to empower their partner Digimon.

While some Digimon act like wild beasts, there are many who form small societies and follow governing bodies.[22][23]Digimon can change through evolution (or "digivolution" in most English-language dubs), where they absorb additional data that allows them to change forms. This process is normally linear, but there are other methods, depending upon the media within the franchise. For example, "Jogress" (aportmanteauof "joint progress"; "DNA Digivolution" in most English-language dubs)[24]is when two or more Digimon combine into a single being. Though evolution can occur naturally, Digimon can progress into stronger forms more quickly, when they are partnered with a human.
