Considering the Battle Network Legacy Collection is coming soon I think that this video is well timed. It's honestly super cool they made a physical PET and I doubt they would do it but it would be awesome if they did a reissue to tie in with the game re-release. I remember they did the same for the Digivice a few years ago and that was awesome
tbh...compared to the newer Digimon V-Pets... the "gameplay" is pretty shallow. Though imagine a P.E.T. APP where you choose your net navi, have battles while "online" browsing and have battles via internet with others xD
@@Zanji1234 That's the beauty of the Stream PET that was Japan exclusive, it had a full on "Net exploration" mode and you can change your Navis using Navi Chips. Making a lot more in-depth than the Advance PET
@@RayShadow278 wtf really?
@@RayShadow278 Is it the same PET that Lan used in the Axess anime?
@@chaosqrow634 The one from Axess is the PET from battle network 4, the one from stream is from Battle network 5.
Battle Network has had such a resurgence the last few months after the collection announcement
Battle Network is a revolutionary game for its time. You have card game but at the same time the gameplay is tiled-based action. Doing virus busting is always satisfying when you get a new battlechip.
Note: Mini-bomb is an S tier
@@nightday2030 Indeed mini-bomb is S Tier.
Wish they gave it netplay on switch
Hopefully star force or the legends trilogy is next. Though for the legends games, I would love a modern graphics remake instead of just a remaster.
@@LocalJanitor6All the games have online play in the Collection
I had one of the PETs during middle school. One day I decided to bring it with me and I kept it in my locker. Bad idea, because it decided to find a battle and was going off like crazy.
Took some time to explain what was happening and that it wasn't an explosive or anything
Oh gosh, the school bomb threat days. Fun times.
I guess bomb man.exe got into your PET somehow.
@@mrlaz9011 You, my friend... Get all the internet points today
Man the threat of bombs…. Now a days I feel bad for kids.
@@delilahkreitz822 Same... I don't have kids. But I can't even imagine what parents are feeling and fearing for nowadays 😞
I absolutely love this thing growing up!
I got this toy as a little kid along with that one toy where you can scan barcodes to fight "monsters" or capture them. Growing up in a small no name town I always dreamed of being that special kid who would have their own adventure in a far off digital landscape. Megaman, digimon, heck Reboot even got me thinking. I wanted to be wisked away to be a strong warrior along side my partner. Only last week did I get my hands on my own Digimon Tamagotchi, my first one being when I was super tiny and letting it die. I take it everywhere with me and nobody bats an eye. I may be 30 but I still feel that spark of joy when I hear the little bloops and bleeps of my partner fighting along side me against his digital foes.
Wait wait wait, the American versions of these are rare?! I remember getting one from a Dollar General back in the mid-2000's around '06 or so? I eventually lost it and years later one of my friends in high school gave me the one I currently still own, which is missing the top screen. 😅
Also, upon hearing the sounds I remember why I eventually stopped playing with the toy, as a kid I was pretty sensitive to very harsh sounds and the startup sound of the PET really messed with me, and I found the game just a bit too confusing at the age I was
@@ThemmeFataleKiva I broke the shaker in mine cause I was using to shaking the hell out of the digivices, but the PET just couldn't take the harsh shaking the Digivices trained me to do. XD
the english had came to brazil too, i had one. they sold megaman and protoman version i had the protoman.
@@AmandaPeach eyy! Team ProtoMan ftw! 🙌
I really hope we can get a Megaman Battle Network App for smartphones seems like a match made in heaven for this
I’ve been saying this for YEARS! How are we not able to customize our phone’s AI assistants??
@@michaelhenderson6786i just learned that fans are making one now
@@flowerheart2054 omg for real? Where did you find that out?
I remember when I bought mine I didn’t know army time so I always thought it was a mistake when it got to 13:00. Only the Advanced PET got an English release, but there were also toy versions of the Plug-in PET, Progress PET, and Link PET EX. During my first trip in Japan they had arcade machines that were compatible with a Navi Chip that you get with the Link PET EX toy which gains experience whenever you use it with the arcade game and the PET. I had to dig up all of my PET toys when the Battle Network Legacy Collection was announced for 2023. Truly nostalgic.
90s kids commercials were so disorienting, lol
I'm sorry, but I can't stand it-What a damn thing is fluttering at all seams, I won't be able to watch this video to the end, otherwise my parents will think that I'm playing with a fire alarm
God, hearing that little ball rattle around really brought me back. I still have mine in a shelf collecting dust
My only exposure of mega man as a kid was through the battle network manga so seeing this is making my ten year old self very happy.
Ugh those manga were simply the bomb!
This was a real treat to watch. Also, you mentioning the Mega Man RPGs has me wondering if you ever played Mega Man X Command Mission.
I still have my GameCube copy!
Command Mission is one of the games ever
Not THE best RPG but entertaining asf. I actually 100% this shit(Including the special bits from final boss)
One of the best themes for X and Zero🔥
Its still a huge shame they never included Command Mission in the Legacy Collections x.x
Something about this video fills me with happy nostalgia vibes. It was the case when I first watched it on Patreon, and now while watching it again. I don't know why, but I enjoy the hit of serotonin.
Honesty, I find funny how there's this wave of nostalgia for BattleNetwork, seeing how we basically are about 20 minutes from living in that world, seeing how smartphones do everything a pet did but containing a net navi, and the internet of things is getting to some ridicolous levels of integration
Dude! That’s insane. The Bass version is super rare and I remember it came with twice the Battle Chips.
I had to import the new digimon watch from Japan and not only did it take forever but if you forget to charge it you start from scratch so I get how annoying it would be to lose all progress every battery replacement or. Ball adjustment
I got the Digivice VB, but I haven't used it yet since my current phone doesn't have NFC functionality so I can't save my progress using the app.
@@ShadowEclipex that sucks!!! I hope you won't have to wait long
@@MiffyXL Thanks!
It's a lot more of a digimon virtual pet/tamagotchi than a pokedex lmao
Didn't expect to see you talking about battle Network XD. Lately I've been in love with these games! Really excited for the advanced collection
I didn't know there was a toy version of the PET, that's so cool! The toy is pretty awesome too in how you could use it but yeah, the battery thing is a downside. Still an amazing thing to own though. I wish someday we'd have an actual PET though haha with our own NetNavis.
Thank you for showing us the entire thing on video!
This was extremely nostalgic to watch. I still have my original english blue Megaman version that was sold in stores here in Australia.
The battle chips were sold packed in with figurines of Net Navis from the show and games, which I also still have a couple of.
The sequel device based on later series of the Rockman.exe anime that never got localised had some dungeon crawling gameplay, and also had some very interesting accessories like an attachable pane of magnifying plastic to enhance the screen!
Thanks for making this video!
I didn't get recommended videos for a long time! Thanks for reminding me of something nostalgic from my childhood :3. I also had that and I can kinda relate to you and your earlier days in the way that I also always loved the megaman rpg's and rpg's in general more.
When you demonstrated the flip end and the chip being in the way and just flying off I think that sort of feature would make for great dramatic scene like say someone who also has one is harassing you to fight you just stick the chip in and just flip the device open, the little plastic window goes flying and you just then say "Alright then let's go!"
Oh boy, nostalgia overload! I know I still have my blue MegaMan PET safe in storage, and I'm sure my brother still has his ProtoMan version somewhere as well. I spent so much time virus busting during recess... I also got a Transer imported from Japan but I didn't have enough language skills to ever use it. I should buy some new batteries for them....
Watching you review old toys and games like this is so relaxing. :3
I didn't know Megaman had a handheld game like this.
I was looking for somewhere to go back and watch some of Megaman NT Warrior, I literally haven't seen it since it was airing on FoxBox. I saw a couple of dvds the other day, but the store wanted $30 for a dvd with 3 or 4 episodes. Also saw the complete original series on DVD.
It aired on Kids WB not Foxbox I'm surprised he said 4kids in the video
If you look up Irregular Hunter Productions, you should be able to watch the stuff that got dubbed into English, as well as all the translated episodes that never made it to North America. Their download links no longer work due to claims but the video streams are still up and running!
@@JohannahFaythe I've watched the show on a site called MegaMan online they have the whole dub and almost all the subs last time I checked
@@superaustin6383 I think he said FoxKids. I am from South America and that’s the name of the channel where it originally aired in my country. Later on that tv channel became Jetix and finally Disney XD.
I used to have one!! I miss my PET so much. I’m really happy to see all the love and recognition that the Battle Network series is getting lately. Just in time for the Legacy Collection!
So no lie, when I sw the thumbnail of an obscure early 2000s electronic toy, I honestly thought it was a Billium video. Still a great video. More of this type, along side the regular content.
wait this isn't a billiam video? o:
I HAD ONE OF THESE ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO AND I COULD NEVER FIND IT IM SO GLAD YOU MADE THIS VIDEO
That brings back so many memories.
I had this when i was a kid, used it as a Digivice, when i was obsesed with Digimon Frontier.
This is super nostalgic to me
Now I never got to import anything so I had to wait until the English version was available at Toys “R” Us. And got it as a Christmas present and I loved it but I never got to play against anybody in real life because no one else cared about MegaMan in my area it was all Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh
I've never thought I could find someone else who likes the NT Warriors series, pretty cool, loved your video, it makes my wildest dreams from infancy and teen years and explains to me how it really worked. If you really want to keep going about the megaman series I would be glad to acompany you in this journey
I had these! I had both the Megaman and the Protoman models, and didn’t realize they ever made more than that.
Finding mine was easy, we happened to carry them at the toy store I worked at back then, so I picked up the set.
They didn’t last too long, as I got tired of having to wait so long for a virus to show up, but I enjoyed them for that short period. Also, finding additional battle chips seemed pretty impossible, I’m still not 100% sure they ever made more than the 3-5 that came with the PET to begin with.
I remember saving my lunch money trying to buy the Advance Pet. But my friend got one first and let me use it wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be and it apparently would just stop getting into battles over time. I was suppose to get one to battle my friend but I ended up using that saved lunch money to get the newly released Pokémon Leaf green instead.
When it stops finding battles, you can clean the contacts and metal ball with isopropyl alcohol to fix it
@@ManicQuinn Oh that’s nice to know I never understood why it would just stop getting into battles.
I remember when I bought fire red and was so mad that it was exactly like leaf green.
@@CEDL0W Corrosion, somewhat normal. Happens on the Nintendo DS Buttons as well, my LR buttons needed to be cleaned, was hell since the DS LR button's metal parts aren't easily accessible.
Just when I thought this channel couldn't be more cool a video like this drops. My brother and I loved battle network, we started at blue and white and got everyone after that. When these physical toys came out we snapped to it abd started nagging our parents for them. We played them for years and it was so fun. Mine accidentally went off in church one time and I nearky got in trouble, thankfully it was before the service started. Thanks for the video Negative and yes please do more of these.
I’m 100% with you on the love for the megaman RPGs and while I remember literally nothing about the show, i do strongly remember the struggle to do the sword chip fusion thing in the show
I have two of these (Megaman and Protoman) and a handful of chips without the screen covers that my friend gave me ages ago.
I have no idea on if they even still work, but fun to hear I have a sort of collectors item.
I never turned them on, just used them as a prop, pretending it was a Digivice and using the chips to act like I was transforming imaginary monsters from a game I played with my siblings.
I thought it was really cool that u still have one of those. Tbh I'm always kinda jealous (not in a rude way )that when I was younger I didn't keep any of the cool handheld consoles I had as a kid 😂 and this is a really good way of documenting the existence of it 😆
I've been pretty nostalgic for this series thanks to the reviews from KNI John so I think this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I had one of these, think I picked it up from the local flea market one day and I loved it. I remember battling my friends at school all the time and obliterating them with this one hammer or meteor chip I had. I still have my chips but I'd love to find my PET again. Lots of fond memories, my only real gripe was there was no other Navis as far as I remember
I still have my Blue one (I wanted Blues or Forté but they never seemed to stock them in the UK) I got a lot of the Battle Chips with the Megaman EXE toys that we could find here so myself and a couple of friends had a collection and could battle. Up until recently, I didn't think much of it, my daughter found it in a box and has taken to playing with it although she doesn't quite grasp how it works (She's five bless her). LCD toys were a huge thing when I grew up as you mentioned in this video Digimon and Tamagotchi as well as Tiger Arts games were so common. The nostalgia around these things are insane and I have nothing but good memories!
"just givin ya a feel for the flyer" what a pro! worth a sub xD
I’ve never heard of this toy or this side of the Megaman franchise before, but I do love obscure/lesser-known things like this.
Well timed video and we'll done! I'm crazy excited for the Battle Network collection. I always loved these weird little toys, but on a divergent path, I fell in love with the trading card game over these little devices. While it wasn't anything amazing, it's nostalgic and started my collection of dead card games.
Just found your channel. (Thanks RUclips algorithm I guess?). I like your stuff. I don't know why you would have people who dislike (I mean, I'm not ignorant, I'm just trying to be nice). Moving on!
Love the vid! Love Megaman!
I had never seen anything like pet advanced until this video! It's was so awesome seeing the technology it used and I thought using the marble to track steps was really impressive! I don't usually watch videos like this but I really loved and would love to see more like it!
First video I’ve seen from you but I see a fellow fan of black and purple as a color combination so I’m now going to keep watching.
I had one of these in America.
I really dont think I had it for very long before losing it, but it still holds a huge amount of nostalgia for me.
I would love to be able to find my old one, and if they ever sell them again I would definitely have to pick one up.
The fact that you still have it shows the the love you have for your dad
First of all, it's my first time watching your content. Really liked it! Subscribed.
I had this when I was like 10 or 11, Still have it today (mine was an English version of Protoman).
Love to see more people talking about these toys! Hope you cover other PETs in the future!
Also, just for information, you can actually play VS with one Japanese version and one English version, it will work perfectly.
Battle Network (as well as other MegaMan games) was what influenced me to make games. From the artwork, to the music, the programming and the storyline. This was definitely a series that greatly impacted me until this day. I love MegaMan. I liked the sort of Tamagotchi-style toys they had back in the day.
They made something similar to this in Japan for Megaman Star Force, which was toy versions of the Transer and Star Carrier, from Star Force 1 and 2 respectively. The lore explanation was that the Star Carrier was the successor to the Transer, like how smart phones were the successor to flip phones. The Star Carrier was handheld, while the Transer had an adapter that can be worn on the forearm.
I was so surprised to see a video about the P.E.T. in 2022. I've had my Blues P.E.T. for years, found it online as a import. Some time later I got the Progress P.E.T. but that one was a Korean import. That one was so much better because you actually move around on a map rather than shake it to get a battle.
So this is how they worked, i vaguely remember from my childhood here in Brazil, allways wanted one but the thing was just too pricy here and i was also a child, thx for the trip down memory lane
Omg, your fashion screams 90s! I love it!
I had this when I was a kid, too. I had the English ProtoMan.exe one. 😂 Never knew the screen on the cover could pop off, tho! 😲
Cant believe I've been a huge fan of both franchises for over 20years..... But thats a Megaman Digivice....... And it deserves more!
I have the Protoman version while my brother has the Megaman version. I remember seeing the commercials for this toy on TV and wanting it so bad as I watched the show and had the trading cards. Something happened with the shipment from the US to Brazil and you could not find them anywhere. I had to wait for months, for me it felt like years. I even drew and cut some paper PETs to play while I waited for the real thing to arrive. But when it did my mother quickly called the toy store and had them reserve the last 2 PETs. We walked into the store and when I got it in my own hands I just couldn't believe it. To me it felt like a dream come true and I played that thing for years and years. One of the best gifts I ever got, still have it and bought a bunch of chips afterwards as an adult because I'm slightly obsessed with collectables.
I'm so jealous that you got the Bass version! I wanted a PET for years, but then finally found a protoman one at a garage sale, I Love the piece, very nice!
Man I wish we could've been friends growing up!
I loved battle network and eventually ended up working in IT because of the impact it had on me.
Looking forward to the Switch collection next year!
Thank you for showcasing this :) you rock!
man, talk about nostalgia, I remember getting this alongside an windman and junksoul megaman figure set, mine being the megaman one
didn't help that I was 6 and not a native english speaker, but me and my bestfriend loved to play with our PETs
I have a question I hope you can help me out with. I found my old Bass PET from Japan, same one in this video but I haven't used it since a kid when they were new or taken out the battery... I kept it concealed in a chest all these years, do you think there is still a chance that swapping out the battery may bring it back to life & work or do you think the battery has been left in it for too long
Thanks for the nostalgia trip❤️
Watching this is so nostalgic 🥺 My brother and I were obsessed with megaman battle network as kids and each had a PET. I had megaman and my brother had bass. Good times!
Thanks for sharing your experience with this toy. I played a lot of tamagotchi and pocket pikachu as a kid, this definitely have me a lot of similar vibes
I've never been a fan of Megaman Battle Network, but it was really cool getting some information about the cool toys that came from it! And I agree; the shape of the little cartridges hit the spot. I think it's because I associate them with Nintendo Switch cartridges, Gameboy cartridges, the SNES cartridges, or the N64 cartridges. Cartridges have just always been fun.
When I was younger my brother and I had around 20 of those Digimon battle things each. They were actually being sold at the dollar store and my mom only purchased them all because she previously purchased us 1 each for $10 or so. So she knew it was a good deal. Now they around $50 each lol
MegamanNT is such a weird childhood memory. I read the comics as a kid because the local library had them. Only now am I finding out about the games and anime. It's really interesting see content about stuff I'm familiar with but am also seeing for the first time.
I know who bass is, cool character. First time I saw the game being played was a year back, and saw clips of the anime with it. Now I'm finding out about the toys.
It's such a weird mix of familiarity and discovery that I'm not sure many people have expirenced.
Incredible job! Keep it up!👍
I have loved the Battle network games and anime since i was a teen, this is actually super fun, thought it sounds freaking loud
I had a digimon digitector as a child. Super similar. I did however purchase one of these sealed last year and I’m so tempted to play with it all the time
My brother and I had the English version of these. My grandparents got them for us one year for Christmas. We didn’t know what show they were from, but we loved them.
My brother had the blue and I had the red, I believe.
I had one of these when I was younger. I got it at a Walmart in my city. I remember having fun playing with it. I would mostly pretend I was in the anime using it. Nowadays I have the Vital bracelet digivice-V. With a lot of dim cards (digimon)
Still got my og pokedex, I pulled it out the other day and it was a straight 90s flashback
Oh my God this awakened a memory of a toy I forgot I had growing up until now
I def had a US version but couldn't tell you anything about it
this thing is adorable, i never had any of these kinds of things bc i didn't know about mega man outside of marvel vs Capcom till i was older and my parents were always really dumb about Japanese little creature things like pokemon and digimon but i think it would've been really fun to play with if i had one when i was younger
Oh my God! I have one of those!!! Mine is the Proto Man one! Such an iconic toy design, for a very poorly made game! Honestly, thank you for making this vídeo, It unlock a nostalgia boost I didn't even knew I needed it
AMEN brother, I still have my PET and Plan to get the others to add to my collection.
I am just glad We are finally getting the collection, my childhood prayers are finally answered.
My bud Erik had one of these back in the day. He plugged it into the back of a daycare computer via a 3.5 mm jack to give the thing health and it sounded like a powerjack. I miss him. :(
You should check out the Progress PET!
That one was my favorite PET toy. It has way more functions. Includes different Navis like ProtoMan inside instead of Mega, AND it’s backwards compatible with the Advanced PET Battle Chips!
It has a exploration mode where you go through the net, and a tournament mode, and options for accessories. And iirc, it has internal memory so when you swap the batteries (AAA bats this time), you pick up where you left off!
Full synchro, cross fusion, double souls, it’s the whole shebang!
I genuinely think it would be right up your alley!
Subscribing with the hopes of seeing a Progress PET review! 😄
That's so cool! I always Loved Megaman NT Warrior back in a day when it was airing on Jetix around 2005-2008 here in Poland, but we definitely didn't have access to such rarity, and I see even in America it was rare! I loved your episode about W.I.T.C.H. I have to look if you have to say smth more about Megaman TV series.
I remember a friend having that MegaMan toy. It really caught my attention. I had my own toy of that style, even if it wasn't exactly MegaMan related. I think I used the Digimon Frontier digivices. Not a big surprise that I've recently got myself a Vital Bracelet, complete with my own wave of nostalgia.
I have such fond memories of playing with one of these. I had the red+black one and my older brother had a blue one, I would always bring it when out on the boat with my family XD
Oh and I actually don't remember where we got ours. Im thinking ebay, I remember not being able to read the text so I dont think we have the english ones XD
Neato :0 Big fan of these types of videos. Tbh, I have v little experience with these types of systems, but! I have a little experience with MegaMan Battle Network & a little experience with Tamagotchi, specifically the GBC & GBA titles.
Ye, yea, I'd love to see more x3!! I just think this stuff's neato
Me and my brother had those, we are from Brazil and got them as a gift from an aunt, I think. At the time we only knew MegaMan from the tv show so finding the battle network games for.the Gameboy later on was pretty cool.
I remember always seeing ads for it when I was kid, always thought it looked pretty cool.
I've never really had a chance to go into megaman much so I had no idea these existed! These look awesome though and suprisingly actually seem to hold up pretty damn well today.
I remember having this megaman thing all my friends had it and we had a blast growing up
Thanks for this.
I remember a lot of banded and unbranded toys in this area.
I got 3 or 4 different digivices and a barcode scanner monster generator.
Wild seeing one of these after all these years! I had the Protoman one years and years ago. I loved the idea and used it as a prop for childhood pretend play, but the actual game use I got very little playtime in due to how frustrating it was to get viruses and heal after losing
I had the English bass version. I stopped using it because the amount of shaking was way too much for a battle especially for a kid. I ended up liking to collect the chips more than playing with the PET
I do have the mentioned Megaman and Protoman version. I always wanted to get the Bass version but as time goes on, it gets harder. I even have a lot of battle chips. I bought as many I could when they were selling this. Have been a Megaman fan ever since my childhood and have been collecting for over 20 years. (Games, Merch, etc)
My ears do bleed now because of the sounds but it's a really nice video!
Just like for Pokemon, all kinds of PETs from all seasons have a toy version.
I never bothered to open it. Very interesting to see the insides :O
Edit: I bought them all in stores when they were selling them (germany here)
This was so cool!! Hoping it gets lots of views 🤞
I remember having one of these in middle school and I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Can’t wait for the battle network collection to come to switch!
I didnt even realize the Bass one even existed. I always want one of these toys but lived in the country and was the only person in my school who played anything but Mario and Call of Duty (since I was stuck with only hand-held systems and a PS1.)
Owned the Advance PET and the Progress PET. Honestly the best fun i have had for the longest time with inserting the battle chips
My son found my folder of battle chips a few days ago. Amusing timing on this video.
I did so many store runs to save money because my cousin me would let me keep the change. Bring back memories! They actually had it at a corner store by my school
Okay, but now I have to know...If you could design your own P.E.T. what would it look like? Or which one would you have with you? A custom one of these would be sick!
I loved this series as a kid. I played both versions so mant times and I can't wait for the legacy games to come out.
I loved watching NT Warrior on the KidsWB block when it was airing. When I saw the toy commercials, my little kid ass was of course enthralled. I saw the 3 versions of the PET in ToysR'Us and wanted the Black one as that came with 10 Battle Chips over the Megaman and Protoman's 3. Even though I didn't even know who Bass was at that point. (I swear they skipped his arc in the TV airing). Truth be told, I didn't realize it was Bass until this video.
But yeah, I got it for Christmas that year, played it off and on for a couple years, and sucked so much that my brother and I could only beat 1 virus in our entire time with the toy.
