Digimon Adventure 02: D1 Tamers is a role‑playing and digital pet simulation game developed and published by Bandai for the WonderSwan Color in 2001. Based on the “Digimon Adventure 02” anime series, the game allows players to raise, train, and battle Digimon while following an original storyline.
Players begin with a chosen Digimon partner and guide it through growth stages by feeding, training, and caring for its needs. The Digimon can Digi‑evolve based on its training and care regime, gaining new abilities and transforming into stronger forms. Combat occurs in turn‑based battles where players use their partner’s skills to defeat enemy Digimon, earn experience, and unlock additional evolutions.
The game features exploration of various locations from the anime universe—including real-world and digital settings—where players can encounter wild Digimon, collect items, and complete missions. Battles and Digivolutions are influenced by player choices, making care-oriented strategies important to progression.
