Digimon has much better V-Pets, and has just as much V-Pets as Tamagotchi does.
Theres the classic Digimon, Digimon Pendulum, Digimon Pendulum Zero, Digimon Accelerator, Digimon Mini, Digivice iC, Digivice iC 20x, Digivice iC Burst, and plenty other ones, there are too many to list.
Most of the mentioned ones though, except for the Mini and iCs have from 8-20 different versions, not including the colours.
