Out of all the vpets I've played with over the years, I think this one is my favorite and has the most potential.
There's a couple draw backs to over the original 20th anniversary namely in a much more limited roster that is broken up across each device (encouraging you to get multiple devices so you can explore the whole thing and jogress). But I think the monster training and quest mode are very strong additions that could really help the digivices expand a lot more mechanically in the future. I also think the XAI dice is a great modifier to freshen up combat. That and the combat minigame is just a lot more fun with the sliding bar over mashing the button of previous games. Each digimon has a different bar and the effect from the XAI dice gives you a little more to do.
Taking care of one pet at a time invests you more into it's stats and evolutionary path so you feel more attached while also giving you the option to actually pause the damn thing if you're gonna be away for a day or more. I also just like a lot of the x-antibody designs. They're just edgier versions of the OG designs that remind me of Deviant Art OCs (something Digimon already runs a fine line on).
