The virtual pet line was revived in Jwith the Updated Re-release of the first v-pet, Digital Monster Ver.20th, which improved the original design by including all 5 original Digieggs to choose from, plus even more to unlock including an egg containing a whole evolutionary line of Digimon designed specifically for the anniversary. Then came the Xros Loader, which unlocked Digimon from scanning various sound patterns and is based around a territorial war minigame where you form parties of Digimon that can be combined, and lastly with the Appli Drive, a Yo-Kai Watch-esque trinket-based device that completely drops the virutal pet aspect in favour of gaining higher power levels from collecting as many trinkets as possible. Subsequently, the goal of the later toys were changed to Gotta Collect Them All, first attempted with the D-Scanner that collected Digimon from scanning product barcodes. A reattempt was made with the Digivice IC/Data Link in 2006-7. This continued up until around 2004 when the digital pet fad had truly been put to bed. There was a Digimon Mini that was also released to coincide with the Tamagotchi Mini that was released around the same time, but used a different type of connector to communicate. It would see various updates and improvements over the next decade, including a shift to appear more like the anime's Digivices while retaining compatibility with the original. This was followed by a world-wide release in 1999. The original version was released in Japan in 1997.

Five different versions were released, each having a different starting Digimon that would change into its own set of forms as it got stronger. The unique spin this time is that two devices can be linked up to allow the creatures to fight one another, and in fact is necessary to get them to the strongest form possible.

Much like its original egg-shaped counterpart, the objective is to raise a digital creature, with its growth influenced by the amount and quality of care it receives.
