The franchise was created in 1997 as a series of


virtual pets, akin to—and influenced in style by—the
contemporary Tamagotchi or nano Giga Pet toys.
The creatures were first designed to look cute and
iconic even on the devices' small screens; later
developments had them created with a harder-
edged style influenced by American comics. The
franchise gained momentum with its first anime
incarnation, Digimon Adventure, and an early video
game, Digimon World, both released in 1999.
Several anime series and films based on them have
been released, and the video game series has
expanded into genres such as role-playing, racing,
fighting, and MMORPGs.
