Digimon, the lifeforms the series revolves around, are monsters of various forms living in a "[[Digital World]]," a {{w|Parallel universe (fiction)|parallel universe}} that originated from Earth's various {{w|Telecommunications network|communication networks}}. Digimon is often claimed by detractors to be a knockoff of {{w|Pokémon}}, though they both appeared at about the same time, and have entirely different approaches to the monster concept.

Digimon hatch from eggs called {{c|Digi-Egg|Level}}s. They age via a process called "Digivolution" which changes their appearance and increases their powers. The effect of Digivolution, however, is not permanent, and Digimon who have digivolved will most of the time revert back to their previous form after a battle or if they are too weak to continue. Some Digimon are feral in nature, but most possess large amounts of intelligence and human speech. They are able to digivolve by the use of digivices that their human partners have. In some cases, as in the first season, the tamers had to find some special items such as crests and tags so the Digimon could digivolve in another stage called ultimate then mega.

The first Digimon anime introduces the Digimon {{w|Biological life cycle|life cycle}}: They age in a similar fashion to real organisms, but do not die under normal circumstances because they are made of reconfigurable data. Old Digimon and Digimon who receive fatal wounds dissolve into infinitesimal bits of data. The data then recomposes itself as a Digi-Egg, which will hatch when rubbed gently, and the Digimon goes through its life cycle again. Digimon who are reincarnated in this way will sometimes retain some or all their memories of their previous life. However, if a Digimon's data is completely destroyed, they will die.

Digimon started out as a {{w|digital pet}} called "[[Digimon virtual pet|Digital Monster]]," similar in style and concept to the {{w|Tamagotchi}}. It was planned by Wiz and released by {{w|Bandai}} on June 26, 1997. The toy began as the simple concept of a Tamagotchi for boys (as Bandai was also the creator of the Tamagotchi). The v-pet is similar to its predecessors, with the exceptions of being much harder and being able to connect to fight other Digimon v-pets. Every owner would start with a Baby Digimon, train it, evolve it, take care of it, and then have battles with other Digimon owners to see who was stronger. The Digimon pet had several evolution capabilities and abilities too, so many owners had many different Digimon. In December, the second generation of Digital Monster was released, followed by a third edition in 1998. Now the new Tamagotchi Digimon is Pendulum that has a total of 9 in the series. Bandai also has released a Non Related Digimon Tamagotchi.

==TV series==
On March 6, 1999, the franchise was given an anime as the first of the ''Digimon'' movies aired in theaters in Japan. On March seventh, they began airing a television counterpart titled ''[[Digimon Adventure]]''. 6 further series would follow, but so far not all of them have their own tie-in movies, and the series was dubbed for release in western markets in the fall of the same year. The show spawned card games, with ''Hyper Colosseum'' in Japan and later ''Digi-Battle'' in America, and more video games. The animated series is easily the best-known segment of the Digimon universe and responsible for the majority of its popularity.

"Digimon" are "Digital Monsters". According to the stories, they are inhabitants of the "[[Digital World]]", a manifestation of Earth's communication network. The stories tell of a group of mostly pre-teens, the "Chosen Children" ''([[DigiDestined]] in the English version)'', who accompany special Digimon born to defend their world (and ours) from various evil forces. To help them surmount the most difficult obstacles found within both realms, the Digimon have the ability to evolve ''([[Digivolution|Digivolve]])''. In this process, the Digimon change appearance and become much stronger, often changing in personality as well. The group of children who come in contact with the Digital World changes from season to season.

As of 2012, there have been six series — ''Digimon Adventure'', ''Digimon Adventure 02'', ''Digimon Tamers'', ''Digimon Frontier'', ''Digimon Savers'', and ''Digimon Xros Wars''. As is obvious from their titles, the first two seasons take place in the same fictional universe, but the third, fourth, and fifth each occupy their own unique world (in the case of ''Digimon Tamers'', the ''Adventure'' universe is referred to as a television and commercial enterprise). In addition, each series has spawned assorted feature films. Digimon still shows popularity, as new card series, video games, and movies are still being produced and released: new card series include Eternal Courage, Hybrid Warriors, Generations, and Operation X; the video game, [[Digimon Rumble Arena 2]]; and the previously unreleased movies ''[[Revenge of Diaboromon]]'', ''[[Runaway Locomon]]'', ''[[Battle of Adventurers]]'', and ''[[Island of Lost Digimon]]''. In Japan, ''[[Digital Monster X-Evolution]]'', the eighth TV movie, was released, and on December 23, 2005 at {{w|Jump Festa}} 2006, the fifth series, ''[[Digimon Savers]]'' was announced for Japan to begin airing after a three year hiatus of the show.

The fourth Digimon series began airing in Japan on April 7, 2002, though it rarely aired in the UK. After prompted to do so by unusual phone messages, the five main characters go to a subway station and take a train to the Digital World, to fight the antagonist, [[Cherubimon]] and his Legendary Warrior servants before they succeed in dominating the world. Later facing a greater ordeal and threat from [[Lucemon]] and his two [[Royal Knights]]: [[Crusadermon]] and [[Dynasmon]]. Contrary to the other Digimon series, the characters do not have Digimon Partners. Instead, they use their [[D-tector]]s to transform themselves into powerful Digimon to fight their enemies, another new feature in the series.

ALSO DIGIMON WIKI IS BEING TARGETED BECAUSE NOBODY WILL NOTICE AS NOBODY CARES ABOUT DIGIMON ENOUGH TO READ THIS AND REPORT IT
The Digimon franchise has been criticized as being a clone of the more popular [[Pokémon]] title, as both properties are aimed at children and feature interaction between humans and fictional monsters. Thematically, though, they bear little in common. A Digimon human counterpart almost always has only one Digimon partner, while Pokémon trainers can have as many Pokémon as they want provided they have enough Pokéballs (however they are only allowed to have six on hand at any time); in Pokémon, this makes the focus of the series catching and training more monsters, while in Digimon, the focus is in developing friendships with them and defeating evil forces. A human will become a DigiDestined if, as the name implies, they are destined to be one or share a special bond with them, while in Pokémon, anyone can become a trainer, and can have any Pokémon they capture or buy. Some Digimon video games also center on sportsmanship, but the purpose of the fighting is to survive or otherwise become the "ultimate digital lifeform" by destroying their enemies, as opposed to Pokémon battles in which the Pokémon merely faints. In addition, once a Pokémon evolves it has no way to go back to its original state, while a Digimon can.
