Tamagotchi + Color - first day

Hi everyone! First off, Happy New Year 2009!!
This post will be about my first day with my Tamagotchi + color.
The first thing you get when you put in the battery is the clock which you have to set (picture below). Don't you just love the faces on all the clocks? :D


Then I was asked to enter my birthday and my name. I had to refer to a Hiragana chart to spell out "Ge Se", it does sound a bit like my name in short. Anyway, I was then presented with a cute egg rolling around the screen which hatched after a minute. I managed to take a picture right when the egg started hatching: I was expecting a boy because most of the logs I read on the internet mentioned that they got a boy in their first generation. But, surprise surprise...I got a girl!! so sweet ^_^ Here's a picture of her saying my name:


The character name is Nokotchi...I'm not sure if that means anything in Japanese. She was very needy at this stage as is common with all tama-babies. I was happy to see that the C-click animation is present on this Tamagotchi. Here's a close up shot of my baby :)


I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love the details on this tama. Althought the color screen is a novel feature, everything else is pure Tamagotchi. Bandai did a great job on the animations and the color screen is put to good use. Look at the screen below and notice how the screen turns dark when the tamagotchi gets sick, a really nice touch, don't you think?


Anyway, a few minutes later my Nokotchi went to sleep. I was sooo happy to see that they included the sleeping animation. I didn't like that they had removed the sleeping animation on the recent tamagotchis. But this one was a real treat (notice the face on the bed)


An hour later my Nokotchi evolved into her child stage...but I'll be keeping that a secret for now ;) Check back later for more updates, pictures and info.
