## Digimon in "In" Power! Magazine

While "In" Power! magazine discussed a wide variety of media, Digimon did make it's way into the issues on multiple occasions. Below, you will find examples of such features.

## #4 - August, 2000

The August, 2000 issue of "In" Power! magazine (#4) focused heavily on the first Harry Potter book ("The Philosopher's Stone"; "The Sorcerer's Stone" in the US) being adapted into a movie, and also contained articles about Sailor Moon, women's soccer, Hey Arnold!, and Pokemon among other franchises. The issue came sealed in a bag, and included a Monster Rancher trading card, which was attached to the back of cover of the magazine. Digimon was featured several times in this issue.

**"Next Month..."**

Seen on page 10 is an ad for "In" Power's! next issue (#5), featuring Harry Potter, Lugia (from Pokemon), and Tai. The text reads:

"next month...

"IN" POWER!

#5 FEATURES EVEN MORE HARRY POTTER, POKEMON, A DIGIMON POSTER, AND NEWS ON EVERYTHING THAT'S IN!

GET IT IN JULY!"

It is unclear why issue #4 was marked as August's issue, yet issue #5 seemingly was July's.

**"Gotta Surf it!"**

Seen on page 16 and 17 of the August issue, the official Digimon website -Digimon.com- was promoted as a "hot site that is totally cool!" The images that the article shows from the site are a profile page for Tai, as well as a Digimon profile page where Biyomon has been selected. The text describing the site reads:

   **"Monster Cards"**

## #7 - November, 2000

The November, 2000 issue of "In" Power! magazine (#7) was a special musical issue that featured articles about Britney Spears, the artist who drew the American cover of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", Cardcaptors, Dragonball Z, etc.

A Digimon movie poster was included in the magazine, and was advertised on the front cover.

It is unknown if other articles or pages relating to Digimon were included in this issue, as no scans of it have been found online. The same goes for the Digimon movie poster, though it is assumed that it looks similar to the US version of the "Digimon: The Movie" poster.
