Digimon World (デジモンワールド Dejimon Wārudo?) is a role-playing, adventure, and digital pet video game developed by Bandai released at January 28, 1999 in Japan, North America at May 23, 2000, and PAL at July 6, 2001 for the PlayStation. It is the first game in the Digimon World series. 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. The goal of Mameo 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 game play revolves around raising a single Digimon from its Digitama form, hatching into a Fresh, up through In-Training, Rookie, Champion, and with work, Ultimate. A Digimon partner will die with age, and return to an egg eventually, so the player has to raise it again.
Fans of the anime will be familiar with the sixth stage, Mega; however this game was made only shortly after the Pendulum series of pets, which introduced Mega level.
To raise a Digimon partner, the player must train it, feed it, let it rest, and take it to the bathroom.
The other main aspect of gameplay is battle. The player's partner Digimon fight the Digimon that have become aggressive due to a crisis on File Island. Partner Digimon begin the game with a few basic skills but acquire more as they progress in levels through the game.
The PAL region's variant cover art features the seven initial Partner Digimon from Digimon Adventure. The group includes Tentomon which isn't obtainable but does however appear in Beetle Land and Gomamon, who is otherwise completely absent from this game
Gameplay
Digimon World's game play utilizes two major aspects: Raising and battling. The element of monster raising consists of feeding your Digimon, allowing it to rest, and leading it to the bathroom. As a Digimon grows and trains, it can digivolve into a stronger form; there are 5 stages of digivolution in total including the desirable Ultimate form. Raising a Digimon carefully and properly helps progress through the game, and improper treatment can lead to dire consequences. The second element of the game, battling, composes the other major aspect of the game. Digimon World's battle system heavily relies on options that a player can command, such as "Your Call" and "Retreat".[3] As a player ventures in the wild, Digimon may engage in battle when touching each others paths. Battles are usually inevitable while adventuring, and they are a reliable source of techniques that a Digimon can learn and money. Training a partner Digimon enhances its parameters, enabling it to fight with better ease and digivolve to powerful forms. Digimon World also provides various mini-games for the player, including fishing, arena tournaments, and curling. Sub-quests are also available, mainly for new recruiting Digimon and other hidden surprises.

Life was so easy for boomers and genX if you were upper middle class. Saw a guy claim that "learn to code" was "worse" career advice than "go to medical school", which is an insane reminder that entire generations did not have to deal with career paths having <1% chance of success. Like to upper-middle class people of those generations a good R&D job is just something you get with an egineering or physics masters, going to medical or law school is just something you do, becoming a professor is just a viable career path. Zero concept that you can have a flawless CV you've been building since you were 14 and still not get into a medical school or get a residency. I think my AP calc class had a large proportion of people with MDs now, but even that very impressive crop of people who had planned their lives around becoming doctors had to get master's degrees before getting a medical school admission.
I had a friend who decided at 13 he wanted to be a GP. There are crazy amounts of scholarships and stuff where I grew up for people who want to be GPs, he had sponsorships from the church we went to, he had really good grades but his parents are divorced and neither of them have any spare money. So he spent his 20's working shit jobs while part timing school. He didn't pass the entry exams a few years in a row so had to keep "brushing up" because you cant rewrite the exam without taking more courses. Now he's got 2 kids and a wife who is a nurse and brings home the bacon. He spent 2 decades throwing his money and other peoples money to try to become a doctor and ended up a part time barista and home maker. (I bet the cuck still pays 10% of his income to the church too)
