The big issue with Tamagotchi is that non-Japanese markets never get the newer era with the color and backlit screens, which even have mobile app integration, Bluetooth and NFC. We just keep getting the old ass original. In Japan, Tamagotchi never “died”, because it kept getting revitalized and upgraded.
It's likely because the west aren't massive consumers so they would be putting money into translation and delivering that isn't profitable anymore... unfortunately
PSA: DO NOT MUTE THE TAMAGOTCHI IF IT BEEPS AT YOU AND DOESN'T NEED FOOD AND HASN'T LEFT YOU A LOG TO CLEAN THAN YOU NEED DISCIPLINE IT, IF YOU TURN THE SOUND OFF YOU'LL NEVER DISCIPLINE YOUR TAMAGOTCHI AND THAT'S WHY IT DIES.
Yep I muted my gudetama tamagotchi and lost it if I didn't mute it I could have hear it and find out where it was luckly I found it but the batteries are dead
The digimon anime was better There’s a Pokémon manga better than the Pokémon anime Japan is MORE OPEN WITH POKE CLONES (more digivices, more yo-kai watch, etc) Japan got full color back lit screen versions of tamagotchi. You’ve been lied to multiple times.
Theres a newer Tamagotchi THATS IN ENGLISH; The Tamagotchi ON (or meets in JPN); a colour screen one with the Mixability of those it marrys. It connects to a app where you can go online play games and marry other players; the child becomes a fusion of the parents characteristics; It's pretty fun and reintroduced my love to tamas again.
I remember when the second generation of them came out and everyone at my elementary school was hooked on them. Mine was stolen from me and I was devastated. I'd also love to see another video like this about the other Tamagotchi media!
If you're looking into other Tamagotchi, they have some great Japanese versions that are colored and you can do quite a lot with them. The Tamagotchi meets is releasing in November, and previously before that was the Tamagotchi mix. If you are interested in Tamagotchi is I definitely recommend actually looking into them and seeing the awesomeness that they have evolved into.
Bandage Puppy i LOVE the mix !!! Never owned one till My friend gave me her old one and it opened a new world for me 😂😂😂i was a giga fan but after the mix I’m obsessed!
I follow too many pages with cursed furby content haha One page is litterally just an artist sticking furby faces onto other random stuffed animals and they always look like they're having an existential crisis I love it. Here's the page instagram.com/plushiecouture?igshid=zhjmhpj18oge
As someone who is part of the "too young to be a 90's kid, but too old to relate to Fortnite and Jake Paul" generation, I never had the luxury of having Tamagotchi.
Billiam, we're getting a full color tamagotchi packed with a ton of new never before seen (in a fully English release that is) features. We can dress our character up, feed it food from the fridge or have it go to town and eat at a restaurant. When it's an adult, it can marry and when it has it's egg, it has a chance of hatching into twins. Each consecutive generation of your original tamagotchi will be a combination of it's mother and father in appearance. There are literally hundreds of possible combinations! Plus there is a mechanic for your tamagotchi to find and own a pet, and even breed it to get a pet baby that also looks like a combination of it's two parents!! There is also an app you can connect your tamagotchi device to via bluetooth to bring your little tamagotchi to visit a virtual Tamatown and do and collect things there! It's called the Tamagotchi On and will be released on the 27th of July, 2019.
People have often used Digimon as a Tomagachi comparison, but they forget that Pokemon actually was partially ripped off this idea with the Poke Walker from Heart Gold Soul Silver. Some trends never die.
There were (at least) 2 generations. I had the second gen and it could communicate with the original Gold and Silver in a limited fashion via the GBC's IR port. Those rare candies are the only way I've ever managed to get a lv100 pokemon...
Pokemon didn't ripoff Tamagotchi, they ripped off Digivice. Digivices are basically pedometer toys, and the name PokeWalker pretty much says it all. What's neat is the ability to get the mon from and to the game. As far as I know, Digimon had it only with JP DW2 and Pocketstation Pocket Digimon World games.
I restarted a Tamagotchi a few years ago that had some of the TamaTown souvenirs still on it. I had it in my backpack and evolved my character until it had a baby, and all was great... until one day it unpaused in my pocket and died. All the souvenirs were lost forever. Definitely my saddest Tama loss.
I never had a Tamagotchi, my sister did, but I only had something more similar, which was called PixlChix. I had two game consoles of it, one was where you take care of a hamster (that apparently also loved to disco) and one where you control a pixel girl in a mall. The series was (kinda obviously) more female related, which is why I was kinda into it when I was young, cause I didn’t know I would’ve enjoyed ‘boy dominated’ games when I was little. I thought the games were actually really creative. Because the characters were all pixels on a screen, but the background was 3D toys inside, which could give the illusion of the character doing something like sitting down in a 3D chair behind them. There were also certain cool features too with the console, for example in the mall game I had, to go to the second level, you had to unhook the screen and put it on the (empty, excluding the 3D background) screen that was second floor to light it up and play it. (I don’t know if that was clear, it’s kinda hard to explain) and with the hamster game, you could turn the console upside down and the environment would flip into a nightclub. I think there were way more games like this, but I only had these two. There was also no real ‘end’ to these games either, so you could play them over and over, which is kinda what I’m into anyway when it comes to games. I hope someone else knows about this, I’d be happy if that was the case. Also sorry if this was kinda off topic, Tamagotchi was just reminding me of PixlChix and I wanted to see if anyone else knew this :)

1. It's not a digivice, it's a v-pet, but I understand the confusion 2. eBay, they're not that expensive 3. It looks like a ver.2, wich is like super old discontinued, but not so hard to find I hope this was helpful. Remember, if you're looking for one on eBay look for digimon v-pet, not digivice, those have a different style, if you decide to buy one do your research first, you don't want to end up buying a xross wars mini
Such nostalgia... I grew up overseas and became the cool kid when my uncle brought me a Tamagotchi that was a generation ahead of the most recent one in my country. I had a pouch for it that I wore around my neck, I had a notebook decorated with it, and my nickname for that school year was Tamagotchi.
I had a Tomogachi as a kid (Like 5-6 years old) I lost it briefly and only found it when I heard it's death beeps just in time to see it die. I cried for like 2 hours and ever since then I've been too traumatized to ever pick one of these things up again.
Your video is being shared in the Tamagotchi groups! You should definitely try and pick up a color screen Tama, they are so fun and you can put tons of dlc on them. Obviously Japanese games can be tricky if you don't speak the language, but the Tamagotchi P's can be fully patched to English (unfortunately they have these very feminine jewel faceplate) and the 4u (not the 4u+) has an english menu patch. Also Gamestop will be releasing a Gudetama Tamagotchi next month and Japan is getting an Eevee Tama in January.
I never had a real Tamagotchi years until I owned the Game Boy version. I did own a Giga Pet from Tiger Electronics in the form of Yoda from Star Wars.
I only ever played the Game Boy version of Tamagotchi too as well as had a Giga Pet but it was a Floppy Frog. It kept dying on me too! The first day I played it, I left it alone after a bit to go to bed. The next day it was dead! It never grew from a tadpole to a frog no matter how many times I tried😢!
At least Furbies had the decency to not die. All they did was stay on perpetually, even when shut in a dark closet, doing what can only be described as a summoning spell opening a portal straight to hell.
I didn't think tamagotchi was still a thing but one of my friends in uni bought a couple of them (and there is still an active fandom so I'm impressed). But I remember having one tamagotchi toy in middle school and it didn't last very long lmao
Now is the perfect time for them to be popular again. They're collectible, cute, self-contained, with nostalgic graphics and perfect as a retro fashion accessory.
🧐...You better make sure you take real good care of Pumpkin and make him your top priority as he is your fur baby and he is of the utmost importance...💯✔
In the tamagotchi lore, a tamagotchi got the tamagotchi planet drunk, so they left earth in order to find a temporary place until their planet was sober again.
I had a weird off brand one that had a tube when I was a little kid. Whenever your creature grew up the top of the canister would open and you'd get a plushy of your adult creature, I loved mine. I can't remember the name or find it again, was hoping you covered it Edit: they were a Mattel toy. You'd feed and bathe your creature until it got too big and you could put it on your keychain or backpack whenever it popped out grown. I honestly might order one They're called My Meebas
@@marmar3530 Good Lord... guess I should've held on to mine, then! Even the game tubes are selling at 70 on eBay. It looks like we're not the only My Meebas fans lol
Yo, does anyone else remember the tomodachi knockoff (they sold it at target) where you would take care of your monster and when it was fully grown, a plushie of the monster would pop out of the top of the toy?
Yoooooo, I recently got the same transparent blue Tamagatchi. Love the video & condolences to your lil guy army. Pretty much this game makes you into Lisa Simpson and your Tamas are Snowball
Yesss! Love the video! Got a Tamagotchi/Gameboy Color/Digivice Tattoo ink last year and don’t regret getting the little garbage monster on my forearm forever.
Not many people talk about the in universe lore that connects all of Bandais vpet series. There's a Digimon called Nanimon and this is what it's description says: "A Digimon whose true identity is unknown, it arrived in the Digital World from another dimension in order to invade it. It was known by the title "OYAJI" in the other dimension, where it was raised as a digital pet. While it loves alcohol and has an oppressive personality, ever since it invaded this Digital World, it evolved to become more active and turned into Nanimon." ^This is a reference to the fact Nanimon and the Tamagochi Oyajitchi shared the same sprite. And this means that the Tamagochi are digital beings in another universes Digital World. Wonder what that means for the Eevee Tamagochi collab? 🤔 An Eevee that got sucked into a Digital World through the PC? Another vpet series Bandai own is called Magical Witches which is basically just Tamagochi with witches based on elements set in the world of Witchelny. They never gave names to the witches or a species like "Tamagochi" or "Digimon" so what they did later is integrated it into Digimon lore. The Digimon, Sorcerimon, Wizarmon, Witchmon, Medieval Dukemon, Mistymon, and Fla Wizarmon are all said to come from the "Digital World from another dimension" called Witchelny. And they said that sorcery from Witchelny is another name for "high-level programming languages," and that Digimon go to a school their to learn "magic."
When I was 7 I brought my Tamagotchi with me while playing Mini Golf. At one point, I mixed the Tamagothic up with the ball, and by the time I realized the mix up, Pepper was no more....
Ugh I just got an old giga pet, and the thing wakes up before I do, so it's always dying in the morning when I still have 1-2 hours of sleep left before work. It's like my annoying 2nd alarm that I don't actually want to go off
4:28 Tamagotchi: Digimon, I am your sister. Digimon: IMPOSSIBLE!!! I THOUGHT POKEMON WAS MY BROTHER! Tamagotchi: The same creator of Digimon is also the Maker of Tamagotchi, you know that it's true. Pokemon: but i am inevitable Shin Megami Tensei: but still your Fantasy is Final!
I'm in my 30s and I still love my Tamagotchis! I'm about 2 weeks away from shililng out $60 for a new color version. Anyway, the collector's market for adults is huge and Japan won't stop releasing like 10 iterations of the same model. It's crazy.
It'd be interesting seeing you review the shows and movies, especially "Tamagotchi World", "Tamagotchi Friends", and "Tamagotchi the Movie". (Also, despite coming late, "My Tamagotchi Forever" seem to be doing well on Google Play Store.)
There's an Eevee Tamagotchi now. Also, the 20th Anniversary Digimon changed the training from guessing up and down to charging a meter to break a wall... unless you train both at once (you can raise two at a time), where it will be the classic training minigame.
I used to have a Giga pet Lost World Jurassic Park: Baby T-Rex when I was a kid. My elementary school had to ban Tamagotchi due to us kids not doing our schoolwork
When I was 8, I got a tamagotchi in Hong Kong (I still have it); I also got a counterfeit one which surprisingly, could interact (visit) with my real one.
Tamagochi was a big deal in my country but was very shortlived, not only there were many knock offs, the original one was hard to come by... and many children complained their pet died too quickly, the tamagochi would never shut up when you where at school so imagine... like 3-4 months later, nobody cared about the "noisy pets that die all the time" anymore.
In 2013, an app called Tamagotchi Original was created. It is exactly the same as a real Tamagotchi. They are easy to care for and send you a notification when they need you. The app was taken off the app store in 2015 but I downloaded it from my library.
They just came out with the Tamagotchi ON. Color screen, app connectivity, and some other changes like the Tamagotchi Hotel (A place that takes care of your tamagotchi for you because schools) and your tamagotchi being able to eat out.
I got hooked back then and to this day I still love tamagotchis. At first I tried hiding it from friends and family, but at some point I just went "oh whatever. I'll just start a collection". And here I am, still collection tamagotchis. And everytime I take a look at them, I feel like grabbing one and raising it once again. :D If you want a real challenge: Try raising a tamagotchi called "TamaOtch". That thing will drive you crazy.
Digimon Adventure - The Digidestined are traumatized by Doom Slayer glory killing Myostismon. Not helped by the vampire digimon screams of agony. If they were to face off against the Dark Masters. Doom Slayer’s murdering of MetalSeadramon, Puppetmon and many minions will desensitize them to not feel anything when they watch MetalEtemon have his limbs somehow twisted before being seeing the monkey blown up by the BFG, Machinedramon begging the Digidestined to be put out of his misery, and unspeakably horrible things happening to Piedmon. That is if Doom Slayer is too busy ripping and tearing the Dark Masters minions apart My Hero Academia - If the Doom Slayer decides to perform his rip and tear shtick on the villains, many woukd panic. Doom Slayer would most likely be able to slaughter characters like Himiko Toga, Hero Killer Stain, the many Noumu, Overhaul, and even All for One. Imagine what it would be like if you were a villain, the Hero Killer was easily killed, and his killer is coming for you now. That would make characters like Dabi, Toga, and many others break down. Pokemon - Doom Slayer would probably kill many villains like Faba, Giovanni, Ghetsis, Cyrus, and Hunter J, stealing their pokemon and indoctrinating them to want to rip and tear demons. Imagine if the Doom Slayer raised an army of Pokemon that wanted to Rip and Tear demons like he did.
Did I miss something? Who's "Doom Slayer" and why does he sound like cliché Sonic OC? What relation does this post have to the video? What made you want to post this?
@@MidMilk doom slayer is the protagonist of the Doom games. He kills demons, instantly upon seeing them and relentlessly pursues his goal of killing all demons. Thats all he gives a shit about. Anyone or anything who is not a demon he gives zero fucks about and will ignore anything they say and do unless they either point him towards a demon or try to kill him. If they try to kill him he will kill them first.
@Ordinary Tree Probably should've known that. I still don't understand why the comment was posted here, on a video about Tamagotchis. Do you know if this a copypasta or something.
@@MidMilk I was equally confused, considering I'm unfamiliar with the Doom franchise. I'm honestly still confused. It might be some inside joke or meme between Doom players that I'm missing.
2020 was the best year to have a tamagotchi; i bought a gen 2 anniversary one because of this video and it's been 4 days! he hasn't died yet and I'm checking the tamagotchi all the time lmao being home with flexible schedules means I can care for a virtual pet. amazing
I got one after everyone else because I grew up poor. It was a knock-off that started to go weird if your hand heated it up too much (making strange noises, sometimes reset itself) so you had to only interact with it when it called you, and then you had to leave it alone quickly. I have never related more to any animal or person.
For those NOT in the KNOW, you can find Tamagotchi ON on amazon - it is full color and is the English port of the most up to date Tamagotchis in Japan.....
My mom bought me a tomogachi Littlest Pet Shop cat with a brush and food connected with strings, before she bought me a DS where I bought a my little pony puzzle game and a virtual cat game. I sadly got the games stolen from me in elementary school. Edit: the cat was brown and the tomogachi device is light pink with a bright pink feather on the side
I never had a tamagotchi but my sister had the first tamagotchi corner shop ds game and I had a save file on that. I remember really liking the game where you make takoyaki.
The first version was fun until I was back in school. My teacher was so salty about them beeping in class so I had to leave it at home. Every day I had to reset it because it died by the time I got home. Good thing they brought out ones with a pause feature

I always figured the name was a pun from Tamago meaning Egg and Tomodachi meaning Friend, so like "egg friend"
Or pochi like a doggo
There is just no way you are incorrect. No idea where the watch thing came from
Not to be rude but y’all are wrong it’s from the Japanese word tamago meaning Egg like u said BUT uochi meaning watch
I thought I was the only one

The big issue with Tamagotchi is that non-Japanese markets never get the newer era with the color and backlit screens, which even have mobile app integration, Bluetooth and NFC.
We just keep getting the old ass original.
In Japan, Tamagotchi never “died”, because it kept getting revitalized and upgraded.
yuuup, 10 years later and im still waiting for my freaking tama color
((Sigh)) isn't that always the way.
It’s because the markets are different and for some reason Americans are strangely boring.
It's likely because the west aren't massive consumers so they would be putting money into translation and delivering that isn't profitable anymore... unfortunately
I would play that
Tamagotchi have color screens now and a whole bunch of new stuff if you buy the Japanese ones. Theres a new one comming this year as well
Shawn Dorsey where to get it ?
The Mix ones are really fun
There's also my Tamagotchi forever on mobile devices.
I have 4 tamagotchi Mix's and I can't wait to get the Tamagotchi Meets
*Bandai America, you gotta do it. You GOTTA release the color Tamagotchis here in the US eventually!*

You just need to check it now and then, the visual notification works fine for me.
Finally someone said it. Do NOT mute your Tamagotchi.
I always just paused it 'cause it kept on beeping when I was sleeping lol

They will bring it back, with the new Tamatown App and the release of the Tamagotchi On!
@@artchic528 yeah but its not as good as tamatown
I once had a family of Tamagotchis that lasted for 10 generations before the battery gave out.
Mine lasted 11 generations
How long did it take for the battery to die
I would've unscrewed It changed it for a reloadable battery and connect a wire to a switch to my wall to make'em eternal... I was a weird kid
I remember when the second generation of them came out and everyone at my elementary school was hooked on them. Mine was stolen from me and I was devastated. I'd also love to see another video like this about the other Tamagotchi media!

People have often used Digimon as a Tomagachi comparison, but they forget that Pokemon actually was partially ripped off this idea with the Poke Walker from Heart Gold Soul Silver.
Some trends never die.
Back in the very late 90s or early 2000s there was an officially licensed Pikachu Virtual Pet, which was basically Tamagotchi meets Pokemon.
There were (at least) 2 generations. I had the second gen and it could communicate with the original Gold and Silver in a limited fashion via the GBC's IR port. Those rare candies are the only way I've ever managed to get a lv100 pokemon...
Now that Pokemon Company has team up with bandai JP tamagotchi with Eevee and its evolution. Its not a rip off this time... -i think-
Pokemon didn't ripoff Tamagotchi, they ripped off Digivice. Digivices are basically pedometer toys, and the name PokeWalker pretty much says it all. What's neat is the ability to get the mon from and to the game. As far as I know, Digimon had it only with JP DW2 and Pocketstation Pocket Digimon World games.
Anyone else remember TamaTown? That was my shit! xD I still remember the music. That sweet sweet music..
I restarted a Tamagotchi a few years ago that had some of the TamaTown souvenirs still on it. I had it in my backpack and evolved my character until it had a baby, and all was great... until one day it unpaused in my pocket and died. All the souvenirs were lost forever.

I had a pouch for it that I wore around my neck, I had a notebook decorated with it, and my nickname for that school year was Tamagotchi.
Old video, but first time seeing it. Good on you and your girlfriend for rescuing Pumpkin and giving it a safe & loving home.
I had a Tomogachi as a kid (Like 5-6 years old) I lost it briefly and only found it when I heard it's death beeps just in time to see it die. I cried for like 2 hours and ever since then I've been too traumatized to ever pick one of these things up again.
Your video is being shared in the Tamagotchi groups! You should definitely try and pick up a color screen Tama, they are so fun and you can put tons of dlc on them. Obviously Japanese games can be tricky if you don't speak the language, but the Tamagotchi P's can be fully patched to English (unfortunately they have these very feminine jewel faceplate) and the 4u (not the 4u+) has an english menu patch. Also Gamestop will be releasing a Gudetama Tamagotchi next month and Japan is getting an Eevee Tama in January.
Crystal Cafiero ohhh I want the eevee one. Are there any sites in particular this is being shared on? :)
I never had a real Tamagotchi years until I owned the Game Boy version.
I did own a Giga Pet from Tiger Electronics in the form of Yoda from Star Wars.
I only ever played the Game Boy version of Tamagotchi too as well as had a Giga Pet but it was a Floppy Frog. It kept dying on me too! The first day I played it, I left it alone after a bit to go to bed. The next day it was dead! It never grew from a tadpole to a frog no matter how many times I tried😢!
I had the Yoda Gigaa Pet too! Looks like we got in on the baby Yoda waaaaaaay before everyone else! 😂
I wouldn't call it a fad, it was a sensation
At least Furbies had the decency to not die.
All they did was stay on perpetually, even when shut in a dark closet, doing what can only be described as a summoning spell opening a portal straight to hell.
My grandma had a couple of those and... Yes. That's exactly how I remember them.
The best Tamagotchi is Bill.
He's just a dude.
Bill is a secret character that you could get on the version 1 (p1). I've gotten him several times. He looks kinda like Bill Clinton. (Jan Griffiths).
Fun Fact: Just RECENTLY Tamagotchi did a crossover...with *Neon Genesis Evangelion* of all things.
No way. So many games have done collabs with NGE.
The Tamatown music is so nostalgic! ❤️
Tamagotchi : do you did it ?
Digimon : yes .
Tamagotchi : what did it cost ?
Digimon : everything .
this video made me search my entire house for my old tamagotchis
I didn't think tamagotchi was still a thing but one of my friends in uni bought a couple of them (and there is still an active fandom so I'm impressed).
But I remember having one tamagotchi toy in middle school and it didn't last very long lmao
Now is the perfect time for them to be popular again. They're collectible, cute, self-contained, with nostalgic graphics and perfect as a retro fashion accessory.
I dont know if y'all knew this but tamagotchi had a movie and I remembered it so vividly idk if anyone else knows what I mean
Just remember that Tamagotchi's biggest contribution to the world was giving us Digimon.
🧐...You better make sure you take real good care of Pumpkin and make him your top priority as he is your fur baby and he is of the utmost importance...💯✔
Remember, when your tamagotchi dies, press A and C together instead of burying your tamagotchi
I HATE SPAM COMMENT BOTS
I'm going to wait anxiously for the possible Tamagotchi outside media video
In the tamagotchi lore, a tamagotchi got the tamagotchi planet drunk, so they left earth in order to find a temporary place until their planet was sober again.
I do remember reading that. x)
I had a weird off brand one that had a tube when I was a little kid. Whenever your creature grew up the top of the canister would open and you'd get a plushy of your adult creature, I loved mine. I can't remember the name or find it again, was hoping you covered it
Edit: they were a Mattel toy. You'd feed and bathe your creature until it got too big and you could put it on your keychain or backpack whenever it popped out grown. I honestly might order one
They're called My Meebas
I remember these! I went on a nostalgia-fueled internet hunt for them a while back-- they're called My Meebas.
@@princekylo7715 I had a light blue one! What about you? Thank you so much for the name
@@marmar3530 No problem-- happy to help! I believe mine was the purple one. Such a cool idea for a toy... hope Mattel brings them back someday!
@@princekylo7715 they're almost 200 usd online, and that's just the intelligence ones which are purple. I can't find any other colors
@@marmar3530 Good Lord... guess I should've held on to mine, then! Even the game tubes are selling at 70 on eBay. It looks like we're not the only My Meebas fans lol
Yo, does anyone else remember the tomodachi knockoff (they sold it at target) where you would take care of your monster and when it was fully grown, a plushie of the monster would pop out of the top of the toy?
Yoooooo, I recently got the same transparent blue Tamagatchi. Love the video & condolences to your lil guy army.
Pretty much this game makes you into Lisa Simpson and your Tamas are Snowball
Haha me too! Although i did drop it a few times....;^;
I remember finding one on the ground, I was so happy because my mom didn’t want to waste food money... I loved that thing cx
Yesss! Love the video! Got a Tamagotchi/Gameboy Color/Digivice Tattoo ink last year and don’t regret getting the little garbage monster on my forearm forever.
it will/has to come back. i just love them
This is why I think I could raise a child
Not many people talk about the in universe lore that connects all of Bandais vpet series.
There's a Digimon called Nanimon and this is what it's description says:
"A Digimon whose true identity is unknown, it arrived in the Digital World from another dimension in order to invade it. It was known by the title "OYAJI" in the other dimension, where it was raised as a digital pet. While it loves alcohol and has an oppressive personality, ever since it invaded this Digital World, it evolved to become more active and turned into Nanimon."
^This is a reference to the fact Nanimon and the Tamagochi Oyajitchi shared the same sprite. And this means that the Tamagochi are digital beings in another universes Digital World.
Wonder what that means for the Eevee Tamagochi collab? 🤔 An Eevee that got sucked into a Digital World through the PC?
Another vpet series Bandai own is called Magical Witches which is basically just Tamagochi with witches based on elements set in the world of Witchelny. They never gave names to the witches or a species like "Tamagochi" or "Digimon" so what they did later is integrated it into Digimon lore.
The Digimon, Sorcerimon, Wizarmon, Witchmon, Medieval Dukemon, Mistymon, and Fla Wizarmon are all said to come from the "Digital World from another dimension" called Witchelny. And they said that sorcery from Witchelny is another name for "high-level programming languages," and that Digimon go to a school their to learn "magic."
I smell a Bandai V-Pet Cinematic Universe on the horizon, especially since Digimon & Tamagotchi have had films & anime.
When I was 7 I brought my Tamagotchi with me while playing Mini Golf. At one point, I mixed the Tamagothic up with the ball, and by the time I realized the mix up, Pepper was no more....
Bstra-chan I don't believe this story
Ugh I just got an old giga pet, and the thing wakes up before I do, so it's always dying in the morning when I still have 1-2 hours of sleep left before work. It's like my annoying 2nd alarm that I don't actually want to go off
4:28
Tamagotchi: Digimon, I am your sister.
Digimon: IMPOSSIBLE!!! I THOUGHT POKEMON WAS MY BROTHER!
Tamagotchi: The same creator of Digimon is also the Maker of Tamagotchi, you know that it's true.
Pokemon: but i am inevitable
Shin Megami Tensei: but still your Fantasy is Final!
I'm in my 30s and I still love my Tamagotchis! I'm about 2 weeks away from shililng out $60 for a new color version.
Anyway, the collector's market for adults is huge and Japan won't stop releasing like 10 iterations of the same model. It's crazy.
Digimon Pendulum 20th Anniversary is also out :D DIgimon Vpet with battling
I had Tamagotchi Connection back when they were new. I can't imagine how Tamagotchi worked without having the ability to connect to other tamagotchis.
I used to have a tamagotchi years ago. I was an unfit parent. Mine always died after a day
Mine always died overnight, it couldn't go eight hours without being fed or it would die
It'd be interesting seeing you review the shows and movies, especially "Tamagotchi World", "Tamagotchi Friends", and "Tamagotchi the Movie". (Also, despite coming late, "My Tamagotchi Forever" seem to be doing well on Google Play Store.)
MTF was a fun one. Also, in that one, they DON'T die or go back to their home planet, they just chill
There's actually a pilot of Tamagotchi that has the show referencing Ren and Stimpy of all things.
I remember that! And the Gotchi leader was like, "Fascinating... yet disturbing somehow." 🤣
Tamagotchi: *dies*
This is so sad alexa play my heart will go on
There's an Eevee Tamagotchi now.
Also, the 20th Anniversary Digimon changed the training from guessing up and down to charging a meter to break a wall... unless you train both at once (you can raise two at a time), where it will be the classic training minigame.
Totally thought you were gonna plug that collab you did with Negative Legend but then I saw the Nord promo and I was like bummer
I used to have a Giga pet Lost World Jurassic Park: Baby T-Rex when I was a kid. My elementary school had to ban Tamagotchi due to us kids not doing our schoolwork
didn’t know i wanted or even needed this video, but here we are. thank god 😤🙏👌
When I was 8, I got a tamagotchi in Hong Kong (I still have it); I also got a counterfeit one which surprisingly, could interact (visit) with my real one.
Tamagochi was a big deal in my country but was very shortlived, not only there were many knock offs, the original one was hard to come by... and many children complained their pet died too quickly, the tamagochi would never shut up when you where at school so imagine... like 3-4 months later, nobody cared about the "noisy pets that die all the time" anymore.
Did nobody figure out how to mute them? lol
@@adevice I think most ditched the box right away or got the bootleg one, which came without a box or instructions in Chinese 😂
we also have quite a large fandom on facebook. theres new models of tamagothci released every year. facebook.com/groups/TamagotchiCollectors/
The sad part is I just bought one of the minis off clearance yesterday. Tomma still lives!!!
Yea, there's a whole box of 'em marked down at my local Walmart. It makes me a bit sad that no body wants the poor lil things.
“Mute your Unit. It will scream at each opportunity.”
The instruction Manual: Am I a joke to you?
You realize that you're the real Nostalgia Critic, right?
all in all at least he, didn’t make the wall
I had a tamagotchi , a nano pet and a giga pet. the nano and giga pets were actual creatures. I had a cat and aT-rex
I suppose some trends truly never die😁👌
I remember in my 4th/5th combo class my teacher would remind us all to put our Tamogachi on travel mode and put in our desks before class lmao
When he doesn’t talk about Tama go: 😢😢😢
In 2013, an app called Tamagotchi Original was created. It is exactly the same as a real Tamagotchi. They are easy to care for and send you a notification when they need you. The app was taken off the app store in 2015 but I downloaded it from my library.
Yo but do you remember Scannerz??? Cause that shit was wild
They just came out with the Tamagotchi ON. Color screen, app connectivity, and some other changes like the Tamagotchi Hotel (A place that takes care of your tamagotchi for you because schools) and your tamagotchi being able to eat out.
F in the chat for all the dead Tamagotchi.
I got hooked back then and to this day I still love tamagotchis. At first I tried hiding it from friends and family, but at some point I just went "oh whatever. I'll just start a collection". And here I am, still collection tamagotchis. And everytime I take a look at them, I feel like grabbing one and raising it once again. :D If you want a real challenge: Try raising a tamagotchi called "TamaOtch". That thing will drive you crazy.
You should do a video on the digivice.
Digivice digimon is a RIP-OFF
KING1AJ 111_YT :(
Digimon Adventure - The Digidestined are traumatized by Doom Slayer glory killing Myostismon. Not helped by the vampire digimon screams of agony. If they were to face off against the Dark Masters. Doom Slayer’s murdering of MetalSeadramon, Puppetmon and many minions will desensitize them to not feel anything when they watch MetalEtemon have his limbs somehow twisted before being seeing the monkey blown up by the BFG, Machinedramon begging the Digidestined to be put out of his misery, and unspeakably horrible things happening to Piedmon. That is if Doom Slayer is too busy ripping and tearing the Dark Masters minions apart
My Hero Academia - If the Doom Slayer decides to perform his rip and tear shtick on the villains, many woukd panic. Doom Slayer would most likely be able to slaughter characters like Himiko Toga, Hero Killer Stain, the many Noumu, Overhaul, and even All for One. Imagine what it would be like if you were a villain, the Hero Killer was easily killed, and his killer is coming for you now. That would make characters like Dabi, Toga, and many others break down.
Pokemon - Doom Slayer would probably kill many villains like Faba, Giovanni, Ghetsis, Cyrus, and Hunter J, stealing their pokemon and indoctrinating them to want to rip and tear demons. Imagine if the Doom Slayer raised an army of Pokemon that wanted to Rip and Tear demons like he did.
Did I miss something? Who's "Doom Slayer" and why does he sound like cliché Sonic OC? What relation does this post have to the video? What made you want to post this?
@@MidMilk doom slayer is the protagonist of the Doom games.
He kills demons, instantly upon seeing them and relentlessly pursues his goal of killing all demons.
Thats all he gives a shit about. Anyone or anything who is not a demon he gives zero fucks about and will ignore anything they say and do unless they either point him towards a demon or try to kill him. If they try to kill him he will kill them first.
I bet he'll be friends with Goblin Slayer.
@Ordinary Tree Probably should've known that. I still don't understand why the comment was posted here, on a video about Tamagotchis. Do you know if this a copypasta or something.
@@MidMilk I was equally confused, considering I'm unfamiliar with the Doom franchise. I'm honestly still confused. It might be some inside joke or meme between Doom players that I'm missing.
2020 was the best year to have a tamagotchi; i bought a gen 2 anniversary one because of this video and it's been 4 days! he hasn't died yet and I'm checking the tamagotchi all the time lmao
being home with flexible schedules means I can care for a virtual pet. amazing
Sounds like the worst parts of animal crossing
I cried when my tamagotchi died when I was a kid
I got one after everyone else because I grew up poor. It was a knock-off that started to go weird if your hand heated it up too much (making strange noises, sometimes reset itself) so you had to only interact with it when it called you, and then you had to leave it alone quickly.
I have never related more to any animal or person.
For those NOT in the KNOW, you can find Tamagotchi ON on amazon - it is full color and is the English port of the most up to date Tamagotchis in Japan.....
My mom bought me a tomogachi Littlest Pet Shop cat with a brush and food connected with strings, before she bought me a DS where I bought a my little pony puzzle game and a virtual cat game. I sadly got the games stolen from me in elementary school.
Edit: the cat was brown and the tomogachi device is light pink with a bright pink feather on the side
I remember those too, I had the bird.
I never had a tamagotchi but my sister had the first tamagotchi corner shop ds game and I had a save file on that. I remember really liking the game where you make takoyaki.
I still have all 7 of mine and they all work. From time to time i'll replace the batteries and give it a whirl. All-time favorite childhood toy
The Tamagotchi Connection V2 and V3 were my shit as a kid
Most of my experience with Tamagotchi was with the Tamagotchi Connection Corner Shop games for the DS
Yes! I have the 2nd and 3rd ones and have spent so much time on them.
The first version was fun until I was back in school. My teacher was so salty about them beeping in class so I had to leave it at home. Every day I had to reset it because it died by the time I got home. Good thing they brought out ones with a pause feature
Tamagotchi is now in color so...there's that. Got even better lmao
