What are Digimon?
Digimon are special beings that live in a digital world. They are not like regular animals. Instead, they are made of data, like computer files. Each Digimon has its own unique look and powers.
They can also "digivolve," which means they change into stronger forms. This often happens when they are in danger or need more power to fight. These changes can make them look very different and give them new abilities.
Digimon and Their Human Partners
A big part of the Digimon story is the bond between Digimon and their human partners. These humans are often called "DigiDestined." They are chosen to work with specific Digimon.
The partners help each other grow stronger. The humans guide their Digimon, and the Digimon protect their human friends. This teamwork is key to saving both worlds from threats.
How Digimon Started
The idea for Digimon first came out in 1997. It began as a "virtual pet" toy. This was like a digital pet you could carry around. You would feed it, train it, and watch it grow.
These early toys were very popular in Japan. They helped people get to know the Digimon characters. Soon, the world of Digimon grew much bigger than just toys.
