I've been saying that Digimon could be improved a lot by taking some pages from the Tamagotchi playbook, not just connection but even stuff like the Pix and the Uni too. I got called a clown and had someone track down every post I made to harass me over it. So thank you very much for backing me up on this, I really want Digimon v-pets to stop feeling stuck in the 90's.

The interesting thing is that a lot of the problems you have with evolution on the Connection are solved on modern color Tamas. The Uni, for example, has evos based on the types of food you feed. It's also rechargeable like the color versions of the Digimon vpets. I played the Uni a few months ago after having done only Digimon VPets, and I was actually blown away by the number of features it had. Being able to go online to play games, decorate your room/house, and accessorize the pets was amazing. I really wish Digimon adopted some of the huge advances we've seen in Tamas too.

v3 is the first Bandai tamagotchi that came out in my country (90’s and early 2000s were a rough time here) so that’s when I fell in love with vpets! Of course I had to get the remake. Coincidentally Keitai Akai was also my first Japanese tama when I started collecting more seriously so this mashup is perfect. I hope they release a v4/Entama mashup next.

Honestly, the only reasons why I haven't bought a Connection yet is because my favorite character (Maskutchi) isn't available in those devices, and there isn't a shell pattern/color that has screamed loud enough for me to want to buy one. However, since Bandai did confirm they'll release more shells, I'm willing to wait! I've waited on Digimon devices for half a year, what's a few more months for a new Connection shell? XD

If you enjoyed the connect(I had one of those too when I was young but never found anyone else xD) then try the Uni, it dose one thing I wish digimon would do. Extra download able content, with the uni they've released extra content that you don't have to buy an extra device to get ahold of(Just buy an unlock code). You can only have one extra content pack actice(like Vitals rosters) but it's a nice addition and removes some of the buyers remorse(I got the base model and wish I had waited for the monster uni, low and behold I can get the monster uni content just by buying its code.)

The thing died on me, and I don't want to start over to take care of it... But none of the less... Tamagotchi is cute, and I will probably get another one, and I want to get the one where you connect it to your iPad... But Alas, they're expensive, and the App you have to pay for, I mean it's free to download, but there are micro transactions you have to do... But the Tamagotchi connect, that one was the pips... I loved it, and I still want one... But they're hard to come by in my country, and I tried ordering one off of Amazon, but they're limited stock, and I always get the bad end of the stick where they're FUCKING SOLD OUT!!!

Strange that you say the screen contrast is better than the originals, because I've seen many people complain that the contrast is horrible compared to the 2004 versions. Maybe there is variation in contrast on an individual basis? The two shells you have (bubbles and clear retro) have exactly the same contrast?
@humulomon4 ай бұрын
There could be, but yeah both of mine have the same contrast and I have no complaints about either. My original connection is much darker, and the p1/p2 Tamagotchi rereleases have always been much too light. There may also be a variance caused if someone has a low battery, hard to say for sure why someone would be seeing different.

@@Crowniecrown The characters mostly. I very much prefer the very simple designs that Tamagtochi started with for characters, while modern ones introduce many generally humanoid Tamagotchi with big heads, accessories and a large number of colors. The shells are also often less appealing to me, as while I obviously don't think people need to limit themselves to conventional gender norms, I'm someone who still very much prefers darker colors, particularly blues. Even the blue uni still has a ring of pink going on around it, which is not my preference. Then the last thing is just that the gameplay has evolved in a way that I'm just not sure if I'm into, especially with there being so much focus on getting to one of the Adult stages as quickly as possible, while I prefer a longer raising experience with larger variety on all stages.
