Digimon Pendulum

The Digimon Pendulum Battle Pets were released in 1998. There are five regular versions, each with a .5 version, and a ZERO version released a bit later based somewhat on the digimon in the first season of the Digimon animated series, Digimon Adventure. The Digimon Pendulum Battle Pets came in a slightly altered design that the originals but functioned similarly.

Gameplay
The Digimon Pendulum Battle Pets worked almost exactly like the originals, but there were a few new features. One of the major features, and where it gets it's name, is the new pendulum inside of the unit. This feature was used during training and battle. You would just shake the pet back and forth to "power up" the Digimon. Another new major feature was the ability to jogres or DNA Digivolve. Jogressing could be done by going to the Battle Icon and selecting jogres, you then link together two digimon will full DP and they will combine thier data to become a new digimon of a higher level (Two Champions become an Ultimate, Two Ultimates become a Mega). Not all Digimon are compatable with eachother for jogressing. This was also the first time that the Mega level appeared.
