Tamagotchi + Color - Marriage Finally

Finally my LoveZukintchi was ready to get married. I've been really curious to see how the marriage animation would turn out to be. And I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. Below are a series of pictures I took of the animation. I apologize if the photos are not so clear, The animation was very fast and my camera could hardly keep up.

Mametchi is the lucky guy :D

Love at first sight!

Fireworks in Color!

Kinotchi calling my name.

Well there you have it. My first generation of my TMGC+C. I sort of don't like the fact that the parent leaves right after having the baby. It was nice having the parent and child for a couple of days before starting the new generation. But overall it's been fun and I can't wait to get the new characters. I will be posting images of all the new characters I get so don't forget to check back often.

Tamagotchi + Color - Lovezukintchi

My TMGC+C finally grew into her adult stage. She's become a Lovezukintchi! Again, this is the first time I've had this character even though she was on the V5. I've been talking to some TMGC+C owners and most of them have been getting Memetchi a lot. Although I love Memetchi, I wanted to get a different charcter so I took average care of her while in the teen stage (her hunger meter dropped completely a couple of times). I was hoping to get Gorippatchi but I don't mind at all that I have Lovezukintchi, she's adorable :) here she is:


Also I haven't mentioned that I changed her living room style. I love this Japanese style, I'm hoping to refurbish all the rooms (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen etc) and change them to this style. However refurbishing is very expensive so this might take a while.
I've taken a picture of the meter screen. Notice the happy bar. This is extended every time you find a happy item. There are seven happy items to collect. So far I've only managed to get 3.


Also here are a couple of pictures I took of my Lovezukintchi going to the fair:

on the train

having the ride of her life :D

feeling dizzy @_@

I'll be updating again as soon as Lovezukintchi gets married. Till then: peace out :)

Tamagotchi + Color - Chamametchi

I took a couple more pictures of Chamametchi before she grows into an adult. It had been snowing for days on the TMGC+C but today it finally started raining and so I decided to use an item I bought: the umbrella.

I loved the umbrella animation. It was so precious :D Chamametchi started running around with it and then she goes off screen for a few seconds. Then she appears again floating down, using her umbrella as a parachute.



Also you may notice that the hapohapi tree has grown to full size. After Chamametchi ate the heart -shaped fruit she received a visit from Hapihapitchi and her happy bar increased. I'm currently trying to get another happy item by using the magnifying glass, but nothing has happened so far.
Till next time.

Tamagotchi + Color - Chamametchi

Another quick update. There's so much going on with this tama, I can hardly keep up! But that's definitely a good thing:) To start off this post let me show you a picture of the teen character that my Sakuramotchi grew into:


Chamametchi! Again, this is a new character for me; I've never had her before now and I can't get over how cute she is!


I decided to take her to the playground and there she met Young Dorotchi. They had quite a long conversation, I wish I knew what they were talking about. Can anyone read the speech bubble and leave a comment with the translation?

I don't know if I mentioned it already, I've planted a hapihapi tree which has already grown up a little bit. Once the tree grows to full size I'll receive a visit from Hapihapitchi which should increase the happy bar. I can't wait to see what Chamaetchi will grow up into. I'll keep you guys posted :)

Tamagotchi + Color - Sakuramotchi

My Nokotchi had turned into a Sakuramotchi :D I've never had this character before because I haven't bought the V5 or V5.5. But now here she is in full color and a glorious resolution. Awseome :) Below is a quick picture I took of her. I have no idea what the thing in the left of the screen is...my guess is that it's a Japanese New Year's ornament? Can anyone clarify this?

I also took a picture of her while she was outside. As you can see I planted a tree. Trees will bear different items when they grow up. the items can be stored and used.


I cheated a bit and turned the clock to 6.59 am and waited for one minute. then I went outside and the tree grew. I repeated until the tree had grown full size and...a paint palette! :) Sakuramotchi uses it to paint pictures, Kawai!


Sakuramotchi has now grown into her teen character. I'll be telling you all about it in the next post, so check back in a few hours! :D

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.

Tamagotchi + color review

This post will be an initial review of the Tamagotchi + color which I just received today. The first thing I'll be talking about is the physical proportions of the Tamagotchi unit. The length and height is not so much different from previous tamagotchis (compared with a V1 below). Although it is a bit larger, the difference is not that noticeable.


The screen is exactly the same size as previous Tamas (I measured it :D) with the difference that it is now in color obviously. The buttons are not made of rubber (as was the case with all the other tamagotchis). I really like the new buttons, they're very easy to press and respond quickly. I've had some issues with rubber buttons before particularly with the response time. These new buttons definately don't have this issue. The main difference in this unit is the depth, it's really thick (picture below). The new size does require some getting used to I'm afraid. I don't see why it should have been so thick. The fact that there are 2 AAA batteries isn't really an excuse. However I find it very comfortable to hold in my hand, it feels really solid. The material is very good, there's no cheap plastic here and all pieces fit perfectly together. I particularly like how easy it is to take off the back cover; there's a small button which, when pressed, pops the cover out automatically, genius :D !


The major, and obvious, difference is the new screen. I really really like it. It actually looks so much better than I expected. The animations and tiny details make good use of this screen. I simply love the faces on all the objects! So cute!!! The resolution used is satisfying enough, finally I can see the characters the way they're supposed to look. Below is a quick snapshot of the color screen. Please note that the actual screen loks a lot better than what you're seeing in the above photo. The pixels aren't so noticeable when seen in person.
Check back soon, I'll be posting a detailed log of my first hatched Tamagotchi + Color :D
