Online Botamon Evolves to Koromon

January 25th, 2016. Early this morning Bandai's online virtual pet evolved to the Baby II stage, having well exceeded the 3500 care milestone needed for evolution. This unlocked the next tier of rewards for Digimon World -next 0rder- and Linkz, an additional Chain Melon and two Digistones. The Digimon was put up online on the 21st as a Digitama, and hatched into Botamon within 24 hours of going up. Fans around the world are caring for the Digimon using the page's "care" command, which creates a premade tweet for them to share on Twitter.

Currently the counter is at 7314; at 8000 Koromon will evolve to his Child stage. The next tier of rewards is one more Chain Melon and three more Digistones, items which are used to respectively extend a Digimon's lifespan in -next 0rder- and replenish its stamina in Linkz.

Digimon World -next 0rder- will launch in Japan March 17th, 2016, on the PlayStation Vita. Digimon Linkz will launch in 2016, on Android and iOS.

Online Digitama Hatches into Botamon

January 22nd, 2016. Bandai's latest "Nade-Nade" campaign reached its next stage overnight, with the online Digitama for Digimon World -next 0rder- and Linkz hatching into a Botamon. The command to rub the Digitama ("nade-nade") has changed to "give food," emulating the style of care in the original Digital Monster virtual pets. Clicking the button creates a premade Tweet for fans to share, which contributes to the "Care Counter" on the website.

Currently the counter is at 3031; at 3500 Botamon will evolve to his Baby II stage, and the next tier of in-game rewards for both -next 0rder- and Linkz will unlock, granting Digimon tamers an additional Chain Melon and two Digistones in their respective games. The website encourages fans to share the game on Facebook and over the LINE messaging application.

Chain Melons are items which extend a Digimon's lifespan in the World series, while Digistones recover stamina in Linkz, allowing Digimon to train longer. 

Digimon World -next 0rder- will launch in Japan March 17th, 2016, on the PlayStation Vita. Digimon Linkz will launch in 2016, on Android and iOS.

Eighth Digitama Goes Live on digimon-adventure.net

From digimon-adventure.net

The eighth and final digitama, containing Tentomon's Baby I stage Bubbmon, went live this early morning at 12:41 PM Japanese Standard Time. This egg requires only two hundred thousand clicks to hatch, while past eggs have required up to a million. Some are wary that the click counter may be artificially stalled by berserk Digimon, as has happened in the past with Scumon and Pico Devimon blocking previous digitama. However, at the current rate of progression Bubbmon should hatch a week prior to the street date for this month's issue of V-Jump magazine, which fits the intended hatch dates for past eggs.

The 15th Anniversary Project's global tweet about the digitama has circulated sixteen hundred times thus far. The contents of the egg are expected to be significant; at the minimum a definitive air date is being anticipated by the general public, and at best a trailer for Digimon Adventure tri. Whatever the case, the contents of the digitama will likely complement information in this month's V-Jump issue.

Tamers everywhere are encouraged to participate in rubbing the digitama, to hatch Bubbmon at the earliest possible opportunity.
