Digimon World

Digimon World is a video game by Bandai on the PlayStation, released in 2000, about the Digimon virtual pets. It has three sequels, Digimon World 2, Digimon World 3 and Digimon World 4.

The storyline focuses on a human brought to File City on File Island by Jijimon to save the island. Digimon have been losing their memories and becoming feral and the city has fallen into disarray. Your goal is to save the island by helping Digimon recover their memory and return to the city.

As it came before the anime in Japan, it is very strictly based on the Virtual Pets. The gameplay revolves around raising a single Digimon from its lowest level, a hatchling Baby, up through In-Training, Rookie, Champion, and with work, Ultimate. Your Digimon partner will die with age, and return to an egg eventually, so you have to raise it again.

Fans will be familiar with the sixth stage, Mega, however this game was made prior to the Pendulum series of pets, which introduced Mega level.

To raise your Digimon partner, you must train it, feed it, let it rest and take it to the bathroom.

The other main part of gameplay is battle. You fight the Digimon that have become aggressive due to a crisis on File Island. You begin the game with a few basic skills, but acquire more as you progress through the game.
