The Evolution of Virtual Pets 

東海オンエアの動画から来たけど、エドワンすごいな…

Digimon and Tamagotchi all the way! :P

Chao are the reason why I have over 100 hours on Sonic Adventure 2

I feel like I should add that the first Creatures game was a huge leap in artificial intelligence when it was developed and long before nintendogs there was the Petz series by P.F. Magic (developed almost 20 years ago and still has an active modding community)

No mention of Petz, or Neopets, or Creatures... disappointing...

Thank you! You guys did an amazing job. The clip was exactly what I was looking for.!

エドワンデジモン知ってるの嬉しい

たまごっちとデジモンとニンテンドッグス懐かしすぎる

This was an excellent video, I'm surprised there aren't more that go into the virtual pet craze of the 90s and early 2000s. Cheers!

Just found you guys again. I forgot all about your channel and your project. I was subscribed , but I never got notifications. This video was the last that I had seen of you, and that was back when this video was first posted. Nice to see that you guys did move along with your project. 👍☺👍

Thank you for your video. It’s been a little difficult to get this kind of information about the, uh.. evolution of this area of entertainment. You’re effort is inspiring. seriously.

Digimon was THE BEST virtual pet series! :)

Really looking forward to this!

Then there was 'Black & White' - a god game with a virtual pet at the centre of it. I remember petting my creature; teaching it not to eat people; giving it tattoos... I'd like to play that again but I don't think that EA is going to re-release it any time soon. >_>

The mini game was sonic adventure 2 lol omg that is so true lol

I like how this was presented

I bought a Digimon VPET recently. First time handling a VPET in general. I must say: they are *way* smaller than I imagined. Fun as heck, though.

If i miss something about early virtual pets (at least the ones i played), is that they feel more like life simulation games. After the early 2000, virtual pets, both games and toys, started to being much more childlike, with much simplified mechanics (they cannot even die). Although early virtual pets can be sometimes some of the least accessible games for someone who starts playing the first time.... I would really love a virtual pet that combines the weird aesthetic plus simulation/realistic aspects with a bit of modern accesibility. I also miss when virtual pets were not exclusive to portable devices and you could find a few ones on consoles. My favorite ones are Seaman, Tamagotchi (some ones, not every one) and Insaniquarium, maybe also Monster Rancher (if we can count it).

Super cool video! I'm curious about the virtual pet you're designing!

I really liked it

I like the last one so cute!😀😀

can't for your virtual pet game! keep up the good work and good luck!

Actually Finfin came out before Hey You Pikachu and was a virtual pet flying dolphin you talked to. Also I think Creatures probably should have been in there somewhere...unless you seriously are making a VR virtual pet because then Creatures might make you look bad. It's kinda the best.

hey! didya know you can turn off the beeps and noise your tomagochi by pressing the a and c buttons at the same time? its rlly helpfull!

You forgot a few things: The precursor to chao were nighttopians in "NiGHTS into dreams" and they were in Sonic Adventure 1 as well as the 2:nd game. You also forgot the I-dog! The doggy that connects to an Ipod.

I love how Sonic is treated as the minigame.

Why is Furby after Nintendogs?

There's actually a butt ton of virtual adoptable websites out there too. c: Like Flight Rising, Chicken Smoothie, Dragon Cave, Eldemore, + soo soooo soooo many more! :3

Omg I loved sonic adventure 2! I remember playing it all day everyday😂 literally was my life

I came here because of Sonic Adventure 2! :D I also have a Furby Boom! :D

What was the one at the end?

You forgot about, Dogz, Catz, Oddballz, and Fin-Fin.

Sea man is creppy as hell dude I THINK AM GOING TO GET A NIGHTMARE 😱😱😱

This was a cool video! Furbies always creeped me the hell out

3:46 there was a commercial of simply nail logical as a kid you can see in her videos it might've been on simply not logical but you know. LOL 🤣

I had a NeoPet back in 2000

Como abaixar a temperatura do ar condicionado me ajuda pfvr ele tá com muito frio no jogo virtual do celular

In the tamagotchi AD tamatchi could MOVE?!?😊

I SO remember and love the tomodochi.

My Tamagotchi squeaked all the time and threw it for my wardrobe xD

Neopetz: the daddy of most modern website pets such as; - Chickensmoothie, - Flight Rising, - Khimeros, - Lioden, to mention a few.

I've tamagotchi v3 when i was young ;) that was great time

If someone is here and looking for a similar game to Tomagotchi from the mid-2000's, I just recently found out that I had an LPS Care For Me Pets! It's like Tomagotchi but the animals (I had a horse) can move around in their 2d world and do activities. Some had straps at the bottom that you could insert into the device and, depending on the strap, the pet could eat or play. There was also a keychain thing at the top and two buttons to the left and right of the screen as controls. Sorry for all the details but I spent a very long time trying to find exactly what I had! Hope this helped!

I just got a virtual pet it's an old one black and white found it at K mart

What software are you using to draw and develope your pet? I want to develope for the Vive.

Does anyone know the creature that showed up at the end of the video? Because it's so cute! X3

I want a virtual pet game but I can’t find a good one

Tamagotchi/Digimon VR lesgo!

Augmented reality is where will have crazy pets

Jade cocoon (which is actually rpg but you get creatures you can crossbreed), monster rancher, and Tamagotchi are my favorites. I have made two tamagotchi-esque pet games, some failed prototypes, and now back on trying to just make simple tamagotchi-esque with a lot of unlockable creatures. Idk why I keep coming back to such. Everytime I try to make the pet game a bit more complicated, I do not like them.

digimon and chao?! I can't help but click

Where is MOY? Moy has 7 games and many more! Everyone's talking about Pou or Boo or whatever, what about Moy?

But.... but Digimon are still our children. Childen that we raise to fight other children and kill them in the process (?)

I like that slime dog that appears near the end of the video. 5:00

digimon. brings so many memories?

what about shimejis?

my first virtual pet was "Moy"

The future is right back where it began. Tamagotchi ON.

I have a bunch of the Shimeji's on my desktop rn lol

Why nintendogs before furby?

ピカげんもシーマンもたまごっちと同じバーチャルペットの系譜なのか…

Tamagotchis are bothersome for beeping a lot

I can’t believe you mentioned Kinetictimals but not Eyepet ;w;

Theres also a thing called Shimeji

The pet at the end might make for a Squishy toy that can be crushed and slowly rose.

Is there any emulators that let me play Digimon so I can fight my friends again

fun fact Cristine (simplynailogical) was in that commercial:)

I had 3 digimons and i kept battlng them as a kid :,) ( btw i am female)

You forgot about devolution part. when delevopers start Making clones of my talking tom
