Tamagotchi has been my obsession for a few years now. I got one so I could have something annoying that would ensure I didn’t lose my keys, and then I just sort of got addicted

[@fishsticks..]

this video is so well timed, i’ve been thinking about tamagotchi a lot lately

[@haleyf9582]

Woahhhh I was looking for a “history of tamagotchi” video like this a while ago but couldn’t find one. Today I randomly searched Tamagotchi in KZbin and I found this video made 11 hours ago today! That’s so perfect!😄

[@stockicide]

I only ever had the knock-off versions growing up, so it's neat to see so much affection for the official, original version. Virtual pets were everywhere at the time - I believe some games for the Dreamcast VMU and Sony's knockoff of it (the Pocketstation) were virtual pet minigames.

[@Whisky-Glass-Lass]

Even as a kid, I never forgot to feed my Tamagotchi. If anything, I overfed them and let their weight accumulate nearly to maximum, since giving snacks for happiness was easier than playing the minigames, especially when I was busy with something else. (Which is a lot like my relationship with exercise in real life, actually...) 😅 Funny story, I know a guy who had no idea as a kid that you could reset the Tamagotchi, so when it died he thought it was just 'finished' and threw it in the bin. Meanwhile, I once tried to kill a Tamagotchi through total neglect on purpose to see what would happen, and it took freaking days to get there, so it kinda baffles me that anyone could have done it by accident. Well, these were the Connection series, so maybe they were more forgiving than the originals, plus my chosen victim had already reached its resilient adult stage iirc...and outside of that one, I usually kept Tamas paused overnight so they could never jumpscare me awake with beeping...but still. Aside from that experiment, every Tama of mine lived to breed the next generation (or become an elder, if I felt like defying the matchmaker).

[@pinch-of-salt]

I think an important part that you didn't focus a lot on is the social aspect. I remember liking pokemon red but I got hooked to it because all my friends were playing it and the link cable lets me duel and trade pokemon with them.

[@stratosphere94]

Loved this video!! ♡ I'm in my late 20's and am still very into Tamagotchis. I have a bunch of Tamas (some are new, some are from my childhood.) I love the nanos!! They're just so tiny and cute. My fave nano Tamas are Evangelion, Hello Kitty and Gudetama. There's Toy Story ones coming out soon lol. Random but aiight. I really want one of the pricier colour Tamas, they're definitely a lot more involved. When I have time I run 2 Tamas at once (one nano, one original) but in general I just don't have the same attention span or regular sleep pattern that I used to have as a child. I get way too invested in my Switch, watching tv or some other activity and they just die lmao. But I also feel bad leaving them on pause all the time! (≧▽≦) The longest I've kept one alive was a week or so I think? I've almost gotten all the Angels on my Evatchi. Some adult Tama community people are kinda crazy af tho so I don't get involved with them. I'm good just vibing by myself, enjoying my nostalgia.

[@Oscar-42]

Yes! I love tamagotchis too! I’m actually still a kid- but I got my first one when I was 8 :)

[@moraeza]

They totally are I have a massive collection but I keep to myself because I’ve had allot of issues with that community, I wish I had collector friends thoughh

[@madif9147]

I'm also a Tamagotchi collector in my 20s, and I've felt really welcomed by the community across different platforms! Something about looking at these plastic eggs gives me so much serotonin... but why did you have to do kuchipatchi like that, so uncalled for lmao

[@TGio_]

My tamagotchi belongs to the 4.5 version and I took it back in 2010, and apparently I managed to grow 8 gens without letting it die.(of course after almost 10 years of letting it die repeatedly, sometimes, by mistake though) I'm gonna keep this number growing! I love it so much and I'm happy it still works!

[@JakyouManor]

[@vixenrevitup]

My older brother had one of the original Tamagotchis and he needed our mom to take care of it over the weekend. She’s a housewife and was also taking care of five year old identical twins (myself and my sister) at the time. Needless to say, that thing died. My brother, who is very OCD and bipolar, hated my mom for months over its death. He never raised another one. Good thing my sister and I didn’t have them. My mom would have never taken care of them. We were raised on the original Petz series, which kept my mom from having to take care of a another virtual pet!

[@xsleepysleepx333]

I may or may not have Mimitchi, Maskutchi, and Takotchi tattoos 💀 Just found your channel and I’m loving your content so far! 💕

[@ykc177]

I remember buying one in a magazine as a kid. It stopped responding to button presses within a few hours (maybe it wasn't broken but I didn't know what I was meant to do) so I was scared to look knowing my virtual pet was going to die, but to make matters worse it took agonizingly long for the little dude to actually die so I just spent an entire day nervously glancing at it. It... wasn't a fun time, to be honest. 💀

[@schaan420]

Don’t give your tama any treats especially the new ones. They will live a lot longer.

[@okUrsus]

We have the same Tamagotchi. Thats cool. Great video :)

[@tamagotchiocean]

It’s because the rereleases have slightly different programming so if you give it too many snacks it will die immediately. If you only play the game to raise happiness points, it won’t die on the new releases. The vintage releases aren’t as finicky. You can feed them snacks galore and they won’t die as easily. I highly suggest getting a vintage p1 or p2. They are way more fun.

[@kat8209]

You didn't even get into Tamagotchi connections? They were way way more complex and had several actually fun games.

I recommend!! If you don't want something too involved, try the nano ones. They're a little smaller, more simple and there's a bunch of diff IPs you can choose from like Demon Slayer, Evangelion, Hello Kitty etc. I love Digimon too coz you can fight other Digimon lol. There's new waves of them coming out rn.

[@PhoenIXPhantasies]

"In the modern Tamagotchi they don't really die.." This is only for the P1/P2 remakes. The most modern Tamagotchi are the color versions. And they DO die in them. You'll see a grave with a little ghost hovering above it.

[@DKCGamerGirl]

This confused me also. I think he's getting the original P1/ P2 English vs Japan versions mixed. In the original Tamas, the Japan ones show a headstone, while the English ones show the UFO and the English instructions say they go back to their home planet.

[@tripled2096]

I havent raised any tamas before, but i have a few of the newer digimon v-pets. I am very proud of my children, Omnimon Alter-S and Rasielmon i raised over a few weeks on my glow in the dark digimon version 20th.

[@HyperfixationWizard]

Not sure about modern tamagotchi deaths being toned down since in the pix (which is the most recent tamgotchi in the US) if you don't take care of your tama, you have to see them be miserable in a hospital. Then, if they die, you see a scene of a lone tombstone in the rain. That's gonna screw some kid up.

The easiest way to check which of the rereleases you got is the background- P1 has a checkerboard background and the P2 has the swirls (which is the one you have!). I play mine everyday and am hunting for more- such as the Tamagotchi Ps, Tamagotchi Nano (Eevee is my dream one), Tamagotchi Connections 4 or 4.5, Tamagotchi Ocean (hardest Tama to play/keep alive) and other virtual pets like them!
