I don’t agree with that. At the height of tama mania everyone had one.

Usually, digi was a more complicated knock off that fit a different niche of people who like battling Pokémon.

Edit: I had both, but digi personally wasn’t all that fun and everyone did tama because it was mellow and easy. We played Pokémon if we wanted to battle.

"Knock-off" is a strange description for a product made by the same company as the Tamagotchi. Can they make knock-offs of their own product?

Heh, I guess. It seemed inferior hence the knock off bit.

It also came out later? I think I had a tamagotchi in 1994 or 1995 - I think digimon didn’t show up until a year or two later.

I think tama was 96 and digi was like 98 or 99.
