OM21: Tamagotchi Wikia Needs Help!

As you may or may not know, there's a whole Wiki dedicated to Tamagotchi, known as Tamagotchi Wikia.

A big problem we've been having with TW is massive amounts of spam and useless articles/edits. So I'm making a shout-out to all Tamagotchi fans out there to help us with making Tamagotchi Wikia a better Wiki for everybody!

What needs to be done is:

  • Create more character articles with information. A character's article should include information on its name and personality, what releases or versions the Tamagotchi has been in, official Bandai artwork of the character, and generally important things. For example, editing Masktchi's page to say "omg she luvs Gozarutchi" isn't very helpful, credible, or necessary.
  • Each article about Tamagotchi releases should include info on special features, release dates, official images, and a list of all characters featured.
  • Also, articles that are pointless or useless should either be expanded to be a credible and helpful article, or otherwise deleted. If you find an article and you're not sure how you can expand it further, put the code {{stub}} at the bottom of the article.
Currently, Tamagotchi fans all over the world are working to make this Wiki a better place, so join in and be helpful!

OM21: New Tamagotchi Plus Color This Fall!

Thanks to Binary and Tarokaja from Tama-Zone for the heads-up!

It seems that Japan is getting a new Tamagotchi Plus Color model this August. The updated toy, named the "Tamagotchi Plus Color: Hexagontchi" will be the same as the original Plus Color, but with added features. It's based off the FujiTV game show "Quiz Hexagon".

After doing certain actions (unknown what these actions are), a character called Shinsukegotchi will appear and ask you a quiz question. There are over 100 different possible questions, and answering correctly will reward your character with "Smart Points".

Like the "EXMOtchi" limited edition, the Hexagontchi will be available in red and white. Currently, there are no pictures available, but here are the Amazon Japan links:

Tamagotchi Plus Color Hexagontchi - Red
Tamagotchi Plus Color Hexagontchi - White

OM21: Tamagotchi EnWarehouse

I just wanted to let everybody know about this wonderful little program from Tamatalk and Tama-Zone's Binary: the Tamagotchi EnWarehouse!

TO DOWNLOAD THE CURRENT EDITION OF ENWAREHOUSE, PLEASE CLICK HERE.


A bit of history...several years ago, Binary published a cheat for the Entama. It consisted of using the login number from your Tamagotchi to generate a logout password for anything you'd like. To see the original topic, click here.

Binary would later put the formula into a program, known today as the EnWarehouse.

The current version (download link at the top of the page) not only provides cheating for Entama, but also for the UraTama, Hanerutchi2, both TamaSchool versions, and all 4 of the "Family" pets (V5, V5.5 / Celebrity, Famitama, and Royal).

It works very easily; you type in the login code, select the item you want to receive, and type the resulting number onto your toy.

I'm not sure if there's a Music Star update coming to it...or any of the English toys, for that matter, because their programming is so different compared to the Japanese models.

On another note, this won't run on Mac computers. For all you Apple people out there, sorry!

OM21: Tamagotchi Music City in Spanish!


Bandai has just updated Tamagotchi Music City to include a complete Spanish edition!

¡Bandai acaba de poner al día el " Tamagotchi Music City" para incluir una edición española completa!

Tamagotchi Music City Español

The Spanish edition is great because it destroys language barriers. Anybody with a Tamagotchi Music Star can use Music City, and the text is limited to speech bubbles with pre-added text. Since both the Spanish and English editions run on the same server, a person may use it in Spanish and their speech will appear in English on the other user's computer!

I can't wait to see if Tamagotchi Music City gets more languages in the future. :)

OM21: Tamagotchi Music City Tips, Part 2


OsuMesu21 here, with tips on how to be the number one star in Music City! Since Music City is one of the biggest things to happen to Tamagotchi, I thought it'd be great to help other users make the most of the newest Tamagotchi experience.

For this next post, we'll be talking about the Apartments! Gotchi Apartments gives each user their own room, which they can edit with whatever door, wallpaper, floor, furniture, windows, items, toys, instruments, and decorations that they like.


Each room starts off completely empty. Those two televisions in the corner tell stats about the user; the left one shows what place they've reached in competitions, and the right tells which characters they've used on Music City.

When you play games in Music City, you earn money (points) that can be used to purchase items. Most stuff can be bought at The Funky Gotchi, the store to the left of the fountain in the Shopping District. Next to that store is Gotchi Guitar, which sells 18 of the 21 Music Star instruments.

(Take note - all of the Toys for the Music Star can be bought in The Funky Gotchi. Instruments and toys can be transferred to your Music Star toy whenever you like!)

Generally, when you've begun to buy things, you'd like to start editing your room to reflect yourself. There are several different kinds of rooms you can design...


Here's an example of a great room. The window and sliding doors give the feeling that the room is much larger, and the rest of the room follows a general theme (Japanese).

Here's another terrific example:


This one is very roomy and warm, and the chandelier is an added bonus. I'd like to see many more rooms like these someday.

Now, he's an example of what you DON'T want.


Rooms like this are what I call "Showoff" rooms - rather than focusing on looking nice and having a sort of functionality, these act more like warehouses to show everything the user owns. Extreme showoff rooms will often be littered with trophies or donation items. Rather than draw users in, these may actually freak them out.

And there's the third kind, "Crowded" rooms.


Yes, that was my room until today. Crowded rooms often have a user try showing off nice things while staying neat and organized, but end up running out of room. Walls of a room are very vulnerable to end up being crowded, so pay very close attention to what you're adding to your room. Crowded rooms aren't as bad as showoff rooms, but can still be bothersome. (See in this one, where the Truth of Kuchipatchi is covering the Big Screen? Big mistake!)

So in general, keep three things in mind when you design your room:

  • Make sure to define a proper function for your room before you add its form. Think first before adding decorations.
  • Keep an eye on your money. Lots of furniture and items means lots of money, so don't blow it on a decoration that you'll never use.
  • Try to follow a general pattern or theme. For example, putting the "Sunshine" window next to a "Winter" window is a big mistake.
Keep these in mind when you make your room, and you'll be more happy with your end result. Invite people to view and enjoy it too, and if you design it right, they won't leave unsatisfied.


I hope you enjoyed these tips! Next time, I'll be explaining the weekly competition.

OM21: Tamagotchi Music City Tips, Part 1


OsuMesu21 here, with tips on how to be the number one star in Music City! Since Music City is one of the biggest things to happen to Tamagotchi, I thought it'd be great to help other users make the most of the newest Tamagotchi experience.

Today, we'll be going over one of the most important tricks to getting lots of attention on Music City - your character!

There's a total of 40 unique characters on your Music Star toy. Of these, you can use 38 on Music City; the two costume characters (Spotchi and Mocatchi) do not appear. Characters have possibly the biggest impact on other users; if you have a rare character or if you have a fan favorite, you're more likely to get lots of room visits and friend request.

And to gain even more attention, buy costumes for your character to wear. Only teens, adults, and seniors can wear costumes, and prices can range from as low as 500 points to as high as 20 thousand. This is directly related to which character you actually use; Dreamitchi and Dazzilitchi have the most expensive costumes on all of Music City!

So how do you get attention? Other than playing the games and entering the contest, the best and easiest solution is visiting either the Entrance or Downtown, especially when they're crowded. The Entrance serves as the gate where users appear, and Downtown is the heart of Music City, so of all of Music City, you'll find more people there than anybody else.

All you need to do is walk around for a bit, and maybe say hello to other users to start conversations. You may even invite people to your Apartment (which I'll talk about in my next entry). Sometimes you don't even need to talk to somebody to get friends requests - they may come to you, or might send you a request without saying anything at all.

Remember, you don't need to have the special adults to be popular on Music City. As long as you take good care of your Music Star and visit Music City often, you'll see your friends list grow in leaps and bounds. :)

In my next entry to this series, I'll be talking about Apartments, and how to make one that'll keep people coming!
