how many digimon are there

There is no single, permanently fixed answer, but current fan and reference counts put the total number of Digimon in the low-to-mid thousands, depending on what you include.

Quick Scoop

• The official Digimon Reference Book (Bandai’s catalog of “real” Digimon species) was reported at 1,231 Digimon after a late‑series update that added several new entries.

• A major fan database “Visual List of Digimon” lists about 1,500 Digimon as of July 4, 2024, which includes various forms and additions beyond the strictly official book count.

• A recent breakdown for the game Digimon Story: Time Stranger mentions that, from a commonly used fan count, there are currently 1,283 Digimon total (not counting certain digital‑only variants), showing how even dedicated fans land on slightly different totals based on criteria.

In practice, when people ask “how many Digimon are there,” they are usually referring to this range of 1,200–1,500 unique species/forms recognized across Bandai’s official materials and comprehensive fan lists, and the number keeps inching upward as new media and games release.
