Listen "Episode 18: Digital Monsters, Digital Memories: The Story of Digimon World"
Episode Synopsis
Before Digimon was a full-blown franchise, it was Digimon World — the strange, charming, and sometimes frustrating PS1 game that hooked a generation.
This week, we’re going back to File Island to explore how Bandai brought virtual pets into the RPG world, why poop management mattered (seriously), and how this cult classic became a beloved piece of gaming history.
If you ever trained a Greymon, got lost in the Drill Tunnel, or rage-quit because your Digimon turned into Numemon — this one’s for you.
