Please check the How to join page. Digimon City is a closed group and we do openings when it is a more suitable time for the mods or plot wise. As more tamers arrive during new years, we usually aim to at least open the group around that time as well. If you have a friend in the group you can ask them to buy you an invite item outside of opening times.

We aim to be flexible with people choosing canon Digimon, making their own or mixing them as long as they are not overpowered. See How to choose a Digimon for details.

Yes you can! It just needs to look like a believable tamagotchi that more or less fits the 90s theme. While the egg-shape is standard, you can make it a block like the Digimon V-Pets or something else that makes sense.

We have also been asked for blank bases for the D-Vice, so here they are!

Screen only if you don't want to draw the markings onto a custom shape:

The minimum age for a tamer is 12. If they are under 18 they are legally required to have a guardian.

Lost tamers, who were born on the island usually grow up with their parents. Neo tamers under 18 usually either get adopted by adoptive human or Digimon parents as the government supports this and provides financial aid. There are also boarding schools where underage tamers without caretakers can live study and share a room with their Digimon partner, or other young humans/Digimon.

Other rules are similar to those in the real world - no driving, no staying out too late, or buying/consuming alcohol etc. But young people never liked following rules. Underage tamers are also not officially allowed outside the walls without supervision - that does not mean some never try to sneak out.
