Digivice -25th COLOR EVOLUTION- (デジヴァイス -25th COLOR EVOLUTION- Dejivaisu -25th COLOR EVOLUTION-) is an LCD quest game device that was produced by Bandai, and sold exclusively via Premium Bandai, in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Digimon Adventure in 2024. It is based on the Digivice from Adventure, and combines elements of traditional Digivice LCD toy gameplay with the light, sound, voice-acting and music features of Complete Selection Animation Series Digivice toys.

Versions[edit]

Three versions of the Digivice -25th COLOR EVOLUTION- were released simultaneously. The contents of the devices themselves are almost entirely identical, and the only difference between them is that some collectible cosmetic items are exclusive to certain versions.

The two DX Set releases were bundled with two additional pack-in items: a replica Tag and Crest set, and an Anniversary Art Book documenting the device's sprites and art assets.

All menu text on all versions of the Digivice -25th COLOR EVOLUTION- is in English, not Japanese.

Set-Up and Game Play[edit]

The Digivice -25th COLOR EVOLUTION- can be turned on by pressing and holding the B Button (bottom-right) for 5 seconds, and can be turned off at will by selecting the "Power Off" option in the main menu. All progress is saved when the device is turned off.

Every time the device is turned on, the player is prompted to set the in-game clock.

Partner Digimon[edit]

When the device is first turned on, the player is prompted to select one of seven partner Digimon/Chosen Child duos to play as. The player is able to freely switch to playing as any other partner Digimon available to them at any time during gameplay, except when in a battle or event.

		Agumon & Yagami Taichi
		Gabumon & Ishida Yamato
		Piyomon & Takenouchi Sora
		Tentomon & Izumi Kōshirō
		Palmon & Tachikawa Mimi
		Gomamon & Kido Jo
		Patamon & Takaishi Takeru
		Tailmon & Yagami Hikari	Tailmon must be unlocked by clearing Shibuya Area 3 on the Tokyo map.^[1]
		Wizarmon	Wizarmon must be unlocked by clearing the Network map.^[1]
		V-dramon	V-dramon must be unlocked by clearing every secret area and unlocking every partner Digimon evolution.^[1]

Progression[edit]

When the pedometer is shaken (either by walking with the device, or by manually shaking it), steps are recorded and the player character walks toward a destination Area within a particular stage of the current map. The game measures how many steps remain until the player reaches the Area's event; it is displayed when the player presses the B Button while on the home screen.

Each Area has a pre-set event that will occur when the player reaches 0 steps remaining: generally speaking, these are either a brief cutscene event in which the player's partner Digimon interacts with another Digimon and/or Chosen Child, or a battle with an enemy Digimon. Once the Area is cleared (for cutscene events, it is immediately cleared; for battles, it is cleared once the enemy Digimon is defeated), the player is prompted to select their next Area destination. Winning a battle generally also unlocks the defeated Digimon as a Friend Digimon.

The game is divided into seven maps, which are divided into stages set in different locations on the map, and each stage contains between 4 and 13 Areas. These stages follow the basic plot of Digimon Adventure and, for the final map, Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!

Menus[edit]

Menus are accessed by pressing the A button (top-right) while on the home screen.

Digimon:
- Partner: Manage the playable partner Digimon.
  - Change: Select an available partner Digimon to play as.
  - Digivolution: View all evolved forms for partner Digimon that the player has unlocked.
  - Bond: View the current partner Digimon's progress toward unlocking their next evolved form, represented in bars of "memory." One bar of memory is filled each time that partner Digimon wins a certain number of battles; the number of wins required varies depending on the Level of the next evolved form and, sometimes, the partner Digimon in question. Once enough battles have been won to fill all five bars of memory, the next evolved form is unlocked.
- Friend: View unlocked Friend Digimon (i.e. previously defeated enemy Digimon), and select one to assist the partner Digimon in battle with additional attacks (marked with a star). The player may freely deselect the selected Friend Digimon, or select a different one.
Map: View the world map and the Areas that the player must clear. The player may select another Area to set as their destination, but doing so resets any step count progress made toward their previous destination Area.
Recover: Heal injuries sustained from losing a battle.
