Honestly this was one of my reservations, I supported from day one and felt a little shunned as so many came out so quickly but you've helped put me at ease!
The reason the NFC connect takes forever to load is someone at work had a brain fart and decided to use the same encryption key buffer for both NFC and storing additional BEM data into internal flash, then instead of just restoring the NFC key after it's done with the BEM key, they recalculate the NFC key for every single NFC read and write command, at least three times per write, even though it's the same key used for all of NFC. I've managed to mod it to reduce it down to about 3 seconds, unfortunately the last unnecessary calculation is in ROM and can't be removed.
@LostinTranslationmon I wonder what they might do for a 30th anniversary if it ever comes. Think they might just reissue the 25th anniversary set, just with 30th branding? Or might it be something different?
Great video. Im really enjoying this device. It's such a welcome upgrade from the Original and Digivice V. I agree about the adventure mode complaint. I hate having to constantly watch it to keep clearing stages. Hopefully they fix that with an update.
Yeah, it feels like something that would be fixable too, unless they prefer it this way and it's by design. It just feels so weird to not automatically continue.
@@LostinTranslationmon its a weird design choice if that's the case. And I also miss the cards that held the dims. They looked so good. But I do love the device despite these complaints. Really hope we get more official dim storage options this time too.
Well worth it for ease of knowing what you need to do for all the evolutions, because of that much more enjoyable and easy to understand compared to the old bracelets so get the BE and Not Vital Hero I would advise to someone new in west.
My vital bracelet died a few days ago, and won't even start up, even after leaving on a charger. Getting the BE model will be like starting a new game. I still have the DiM Cards, and Pulsemon will be reborn.
I'm loving my Digivice VV so far, but I agree on the same points of contention. Not sure if it's an issue with the cards or the firmware, but I'm hoping that the DIM Digimon won't be completely stats-wise left behind the BEM Digimon. If that's something they can fix with the firmware updates, I hope that they do so, along with setting the Adventure missions to auto like before.
I have really mixed feelings about this. I was really excited for it but I don't have a big reason to upgrade yet. Still waiting for some bigger improvements but there isn't much reason to not get one if I didn't have a VB already. The transparent look is cool though.
Do you think we will get a firmware update for older Dims and mons to get the ability to train for stats? Or do you think they would make rereleases for BE version (knowing capitalism...). The recent Dim releases baffle me a bit since...well they are more or less "out of date" (was looking forward to Ryudamon for the BE stat training once it came in but alas)
How is the pulse reader on the VV? One problem I had with my original VB was that at about half battery, it would read my pulse incorrectly. Is this better with the VV?
For the BE standalone version. Do it need to put DIM card for Digimon or can free encounter to get 1? Sorry still researching to understand then decide to buy.
Would you be able to answer this question. I have been playing with the Vital Bracelet & on the Arena App I’m currently playing in the Vital Bracelet Digimon Mode. Would I be able to move my Digimon to the BE Mode without a BE Bracelet & can I transfer my Digimon that are in the Vital Bracelet version of the App into the BE version of the App?
@@LostinTranslationmon Damn that really sucks :/ so my Digimon permanently stuck in the Vital Bracelet Portion. & there’s no way to put them in the BE part of the App?
@@LostinTranslationmon One more question, if you don’t mind answering. If I use my DIMS on a BE will those Digimon be able to be transferred into the BE portion of the APP
It may be a dumb question but how do I charge my Vital Bracelet BE? On the former version I just had to pluck the cable in and it started charging. Unless the BE doesn´t show the charging it doesn´t do that. Thanks in advance for your help.

Happy to help out!
Going through a bunch of your videos I just found. Loving the content. Amazing work and explanation. Loving it. ❤
Thank you!
Thanks for showing this off! Mine unfortunately is still not here so I’m learning everything through videos like yours 😅
Happy to help!
I hope your's arrives soon!

Can't wait to get my 25th! I think I'm going to main that one as well since I'm worried about my logo rubbing off my VV. Great vid!
The 25th is sooo nice! I hope you enjoy it, it's such a great love letter to the original vpets!

I have a 25th aniversary coming in so imquite excited, i am just hoping that they keep the VB BE up to date and add features via the sd card slot.
I preordered back in July, and I am just now getting updates about it coming soon, lol. I wonder what took so long.

I miss the cards too XD
I don't mind the higher level of interaction, but I do hope a future update lets us use Legacy mons as support for BE mons!!!
Here's hoping!
thank you for the review, I was watching your video while I was planning to get vital bracelet BE before I buy that.
Glad I could help!

Hi do you know if there is a way to get the app in ios? I want to buy the BE one :)
RUclips's disabling comment glitch is back, so let's keep the comments up! 💪
Hey L.I.T. did you update the app and also update the firmware of the BE yet?
Not yet, I think it came out over night last night when I was asleep.
My vital bracelet died a few days ago, and won't even start up, even after leaving on a charger. Getting the BE model will be like starting a new game. I still have the DiM Cards, and Pulsemon will be reborn.
I love this kind of content 💎
Thank you!

I was wondering do you keep your digimon forever if you want? Also can you replace them or select your favorite?
Yeah I do. That's what the app is for.
Can the BE's use VS Memory chips? And can they battle with the older models through VS Memory?
No
@@LostinTranslationmon darn , thank you so much for the reply though
Just got mine recently after watching all these videos, I wanted to make a routine our of training them for the multiple evo paths, any suggestions?
Nothing I can think of but have fun!

Unlikely since that's likely more to do with the functionality of the DIMs rather than the VB itself, but it would be cool!
How is the pulse reader on the VV? One problem I had with my original VB was that at about half battery, it would read my pulse incorrectly. Is this better with the VV?
It seems much better!

It'll have no Digimon without a Dim or BEMemory
Roger that. Have a nice day
Would you be able to answer this question. I have been playing with the Vital Bracelet & on the Arena App I’m currently playing in the Vital Bracelet Digimon Mode.
Would I be able to move my Digimon to the BE Mode without a BE Bracelet & can I transfer my Digimon that are in the Vital Bracelet version of the App into the BE version of the App?
Nope, you can only use the VB with the VB section and BE with the BE section.
@@LostinTranslationmon Damn that really sucks :/ so my Digimon permanently stuck in the Vital Bracelet Portion. & there’s no way to put them in the BE part of the App?
@@LostinTranslationmon Thank you for responding.
@@LostinTranslationmon One more question, if you don’t mind answering. If I use my DIMS on a BE will those Digimon be able to be transferred into the BE portion of the APP
Yes. If you use it on the BE you can transfer them to the BE section
I have a question.Can the first digimon vital bracelet be update liek the BE firmware
I mention that it can't in this video.
@@LostinTranslationmon ah right sorry forgot that part
Can recommend which VB to get for newbies? BE? VV? Or basic VB with pulsemon will do?
BE and VV are the same. (VB is a BE).
I'd recommend any BE
Thanks for the insight and reply
It may be a dumb question but how do I charge my Vital Bracelet BE? On the former version I just had to pluck the cable in and it started charging. Unless the BE doesn´t show the charging it doesn´t do that. Thanks in advance for your help.
It's the same as the old VB
@@LostinTranslationmon Great. That just means it is damaged. -.- Thanks for the answer though.
I bought a second BE and still the same. It CAN`T BE CHARGED!!!! Thanks Bandai for not caring. -.-
Is this usable in 2023?
Yes. This video is only a few months old.
