Tamagotchi + Color - New Colors!

You've probably already heard about this. The above is a picture showing the new TMGC+C designs that have been released this month. Note that this is not a new Tamagotchi + Color version. It's the same as the one I've been blogging about; the only difference is the new colors....I love the yellow one :)

Tamagotchi + Color - Gorippatchi

Sorry for the lack of posts guys. Many of you have been sending me emails asking me why I haven't been making any posts lately...well I've been uber busy unfortunately (I like it better when I don't have anything to do ;P). ugh I hate studying, I really really HATE studying! (-_-). I can't wait for these exams to be over. Anyway, I've been taking pictures and saving them for when I had some free time to update this blog.

I'll start by mentioning the Tamagotchi Music star. Well since last time I got another unhealthy adult character: Gozarutchi :(. I have no idea why I got him since I've been taking really good care of him. It was really disappointing and a real let down. I've decided to pause the Tamagotchi Music Star for now. I might be logging him again in the future, but now is definetely not the time. As I've already said, I'm too busy right now to be taking care of such a high maintenance pet. However if you have any questions about the Tamagotchi Music star, don't hesitate to leave me messages. I always make sure that I answer most of the comments that I get.
Anywyay, before I pulled out the battery I took a quick picture of him:


And I have some good news: I finally got Gorippatchi!! Oh I was so happy to finally get her. As some of you might recall I've had a Memetchi. Well a few days ago she became Otokitchi and after she got married she had a baby girl :D The baby girl grew up immediatley into Gorippatchi (she skipped the child and teen stage alltogether). I took some pictures of her:

I've also decided to put the TMGC+C on hold for now. The reason for this is because I fianlly managed to get my hands on a Familitchi/V5 :D. It's second hand but still in perfect conditions. I bought it from eBay along with 6 other tamagotchis (all second hand but they all work) , all for just $20 :D. This is a picture of my V5:

After seeing the new designs of the Tamagotchi Music Star, I have to admit that the design of my V5 is sooo last year...and a bit too girly for my taste. But anyways, it's the V5 and I've been wanting to get one for so long now. I can't beleive that I finally got one :). I'm also adding a picture of one of the tamagotchis that arrived with the V5:

It's a P1 (from 1997). I love vintage tamagotchis :D This is the very very first version of tamagotchis: the one that started it all. They're so simple yet so cute.

Well that's it for now. I'll try to make more regular posts. See ya :)

My Tamagotchi Music Star - died :(

Here's a picture for all those who have a music star and are curious to know what happens when it dies:


For any of you wondering: yes, my Tamagotchi Music star died. I forgot to pause it when I went to school today and it died. I know that it's unfair that I have a tamagotchi music star and that I'm not enjoying it, but the truth is I simply don't like this version at all :( It's just so different and it requires so much attention, even feeding this tama is a chore: you have to buy food every time. Not to mention that it's a nightmare using the buttons. I understand that there are many people who are truly enjoying this Tamagotchi and I completely respect that. There are some nice new features such as the new interactive Tama Town. People who are into the latest music fad (American Idol, High School Musical etc...) will really enjoy this tamagotchi. But personally I think that the music theme gets in the way of the simple joys of raising a virtual pet.

Now I haven't really given up all hope on the TMS just yet :) I'm gonna give it one last try and I'm really going to try and enjoy it this time. So here goes:


I pressed the A and C button to start a new generation and waited for the egg to hatch: I got a boy this time :) Also notice that I received a robot for the Tamagotchi to play with and his instrument is a saxaphone...I'm betting that the future band will be big on Jazz Music :D

I named my new baby boy: Xander (some of you might be noticing a pattern here ;p).

An hour later, Xander grew up into Kutchitamatchi who is another vintage favourite of mine :)

I really hope that this log will be better than the last one (which lacked a lot of energy and enthusiasm...my fault, I know). Even though this is my least favourite Tamagotchi version so far, I'm going to try my best to be more enthused with it. Check back soon :D

Tamagotchi Music star - Masktchi

Oh I'm so disappointed with myself :( I got a Masktchi as my first adult character on my Music star. As many of you might now, Masktchi is the unhealthiest character you can get and results from very bad care. Now although I admit that I wasn't taking perfect care of my music star, i'm sure that I did not take horrible care of it. I think that I ended up with this character because I was feeding baby food to Cordy and apparently this is not enough to fill up the hungry hearts. Baby food is the defualt food item and it never gets used up so you can feed your tama as much of this food as you want. However baby food should only be given to babies and for toddlers and older charcters, you need to buy food from the shop. Now I really hated this new feature because you have to spend a lot of money buying extra food which can only be used once. The same applies to snacks. Anyway, here's a picture of my Masktchi:

The other band members also grew up. I now have an Onputchi and a Kutchipatchi. Here's a picture of them (note that they now play pop music):


Also I have some different news. I bought a Mothra Tamagotchi for just $4! :D How cool is that? For those who don't know what a Mothra Tamagotchi is: Bandai issued this version during the released of the Japanese movie: Mothra 2. I won't be taking care of this tamagotchi just yet because I'm already taking care of the Tamagotchi Music Star and the TMGC+C. But when I do decide to take care of it I will be logging it here. Here's a quick picture I took of my new Motra:

Tamagotchi Music Star - Chamametchi

Hello everyone. Well since last time I logged about my Tamagotchi Music Star, my Tamatchi grew up into Chamametchi. I think I like her better on the TMC+C but she's kawai none-the-less :) She grew up yesterday but by that time it was dark outside so I couldn't take pictures of her (best tamagotchi pictures are taken in natural light).


I've been learning some new stuff about this Tamagotchi version. I'm still finding it a bit confusing, but hopefully I'll figure it all out by the second generation. I'm finding this version to be very similar to the V4 and V4.5. For example, you have three types of skill-points to raise (although now they're referred to as music-skill-points). There is also pre-school for toddlers (Mrs Frill makes a comeback too :D). Just this morning, Cordy (you might recall that that's what I called my tama) left pre-school and joined two other characters (Nonopotchi and Ichigotchi) and together they formed a band. You get to give a name to the band, I called the band: the Limes ! :) Don't ask me why, I just thought that it sounded cool. Here's a picture of them together:


Also, it seems that the Limes play only Asian music. I don't really know what determines the kind of music they play, maybe it depends on the music skill points earned?


That's it for today, I'll try to make regular updates but it's a bit difficult for me right now, cos I'm soooo busy with school work and studying. I have some big exams coming my way. I can't wait till they're all over :D

Tamagotchi Music Star - Received it today :D

My Tamagotchi Music Star arrived in the mail today. I must admit that my anticipatory (is that a word? ...it is now :D) experience was a mixture of dread and curiosity. To tell the truth I'm still not sure how I feel about this Tamagotchi version. I'm not sure how the whole music theme is going to be incorporated with the familiar experience of raising a tamagotchi. However it's still early for me to say if I like the Tamagotchi Music Star or not. I'll just say what I liked and not liked so far:

The first thing I noticed was that there are no antennas on this version. This is definetaly a positive thing. I had liked the small antenna on the V3 but I think that the antennas on later versions were a little bit over the top. The shape of this tamagotchi is nice and simple, I really like that. Now I have some negative comments about the screen. Although it's a high resolution screen (the same resolution as the V5/V5.5) I think that it looked really faded. Increasing the contrast didn't really help I'm afraid. The contrast option just increases the visibility of all the pixels (including pixels which are supposed to be switched off) which makes it difficult to understand what's really going on on the screen. The buttons is something that I really dislike; I don't know if the particular tamagotchi I bought is defective, but the buttons don't respond very well. I took some pictures of my Tamagotchi Music Star and I'll be commenting on each:

This is the design I chose. I really, really like it. Bandai did a great job on the designs of this Tamagotchi version. Notice the pick on the left; this was included with the tamagotchi (I love freeby stuff :D) and has a code on the back whcih is used on Tama Town (tamatown.com). Also notice the screen, it looks so faded. In the above screenshot you can see the egg. I didn't like that there was a music note on the egg...what's that about? I know that it's supposed to compliment the music theme but it doesn't look right somehow...does anyone feel the same? I'll be talking about the 3 presents later on.


After one minute the egg hatched. I was pleasently surprised to see Petichi back, so cute :) (I named her Cordy). Notice that the three presents were unwrapped to reveal a toy (the duck), 3000 gotchi points (I love it when things get easy ;P) and a musical intrument. Now I haven't really understood if these items can be changed and, if so, how can they be changed? Anyway, the toy is used to decrease stress level but will decrease music skills. The instrument does the exact opposite.


In the above picture you can see the three types of music skills which can be increased by playing the music instrument (mentioned earlier) or playing games.



I don't really know what the above screen means. Maybe it shows what kind of music my tamagotchi likes?

I took some time to visit the new tama town. Logging in was a bit confusing but I have to say that the new Tama town is really good. I LOVED it :D There is a high level of interactiveness involved: you can actually see your character on screen and you can move him/her around the online world. You can also meet other people logged in with their music stars, make friends with them, chat with them exchange gifts and lots of other stuff.


An hour later my tamagotchi grew up into another familar character: Tamatchi: one of my favourite tamagotchi characters of all time. It's starnge that some of the oldest characters are still appearing in the latest Tamagotchi versions. You might recall that Tamatchi first appeared in the P1 in 1996 (the one that started it all).


A few minutes after growing up, an exclamation mark appeared on Cordy's head. I can't recall exactly what I pressed but before I knew it, a small door appeared on the right of the screen, Cordy walked through it and stepped into a huge tub. I was totally not expecting that, it's really cute. Was this something that happened in the V5? (I've never had the V5).

Anyway, sorry for such a long post. I tried to keep is as short as possible. I'll keep you all updated on my experience with the Tamagotchi Music Star, Till then: TTFN :D

Tamagotchi + Color - Memetchi

I managed to get Memetchi :D It was kinda hard to get this character. this is how you get her on the TMGC+C: have a girl on an even generation (2, 4, 6 etc) and take perfect care of her until she reaches adulthood. If you neglect her long enough for her to call for attention then you won't get Memetchi. I'll try to get Gorippatchi from her (no I have not given up yet ;P).
Anyway her are some pics I took of her:

Memetchi celebrating the doll's festival/girls' fetival. It's usually referred to as Hina Matsuri in Japan.

Memetchi can use the 3D glasses. The animation is so sweet :) Dorotchi jumps out of a TV set and scares Memetchi :D

I have no idea what's happening in the above picture. This animation appears when I use the winged shoe (which I bought from Tama Depa for about 4000GP).
