Pix Party CONS

The Tamagotchi Meet and On have been discontinued, and the Tamgotchi Smart is only in Japanese. The only options left are getting a classic re-release or the full color, backlit Tamagotchi Pix Party! It’s been nearly a decade since I got a new Tamagotchi so it was in order!

Well, I went ahead and got one, used but in perfect condition from Amazon. Most reviews of the Pix Party have already covered the basics, and my Amazon review of the Pix Party is actually favorable, but I want to rant about the cons.

The Pix Party is over $60-- maybe consider these cons before you buy a fresh new one.

1. Store items never change. There is no reason to be able to accrue more than 20,000 gotchi points but for some reason you can keep earning money and have absolutely nothing to buy. 

2. No marriage! Your tamas can’t meet other tamas and befriend them, get married and have babies. After about 7 or 8 days, your adult tama will get a random career (it seems independent of the training games you play beforehand) and return to the Tamagotchi planet. They choose a new egg for you and send it back. 

3. Your tama will leave without warning and you have to make a photo album. You must have 3 photos in it minimum or it won’t let you move forward.

4. The camera is terrible, utter trash. It has trouble picking up all colors except for red and defaults to grey for most other colors.

5. I had to get most of the items and accessories from forums online. The QR codes make it easy to obtain items but it would make more sense if items could be collected from the Store.

6. Speaking of the store--- all of the Outside locations have these unnecessarily long sequences of your tama, over and over again, walking there, stopping in front of the building, and having to endure a dialogue with an npc just to get to the menus. The NPC dialogues are not worth the time wasting because the store never updates.

7. The arcade is lackluster. Each day, 2 of 6 games from 3 categories (Leisure, Nature, Sport) will be available to play for the whole day. The max amount of gotchi points you can earn is 230. Some of the games require a swiping motion which is unreliable with the Pix touch buttons. The games hardly fit the aesthetics of the Tamagotchi Pix Party and look really basic; dull colors, bland backgrounds for the most part (in comparison to other full color Tamagotchis, not originals)

8. Backgrounds are great but the Store doesn’t offer matching furniture for any of the collectable room themes except for a select few, and those items had to be obtained from winning challenges on the Tamagotchi website, or snagging them from forums.

9. Back in the day, during the Tamagotchi Connection era, the official website was colorful, exciting and interactive. These days it’s in unimpressive blog format. Every now and again there will be a seasonal or occasional challenge (matching game or tedious, unwinnable slide puzzle) to obtain a new item (usually a food item). Te new site feels almost fake, like Bandai gave up on making the world and community of Tamagotchi immersive.

10. The explore feature allows you to meet random new tamas but you can’t play any games with them or do much besides the rare dialogue. New tamas will appear in the character database and then you can invite them to Parties and take pictures with them.

11. Once you create your user profile at the startup of the device, you never see those stats again. Neither your favorite color, food, item nor selfie. It’s 100% pointless but supposedly affects the types of tamas you can get. The only user stats you can see are your name and birthday and a useless text bubble that you can customize at any time.

12. You can’t name any of your tamas. This removes so much of the connection and immersion that the less advanced Tamagotchi Connection had. If you get identical tamas in a row, it feels really hollow and mechanical. Naming was 25% of the fun of having a Tamagotchi. What’s the point of having your username (permanent unless you reset the device) when it serves no purpose outside of connecting with other Pix devices, which will be rare because Tamagotchi users are rare, especially among adults?

13. The price of the device is worth it for the novelty factor but that dries up quickly after a while. By generation 5 you’ll have seen it all. The same ugly items in the Store. The same boring games. The price should be bumped down to $39, especially considering how much battery life the device absolutely devours if you dare to leave the sound on or use the almost essential camera.

The day's not over for me, but thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes here and elsewhere. I am riding such a high today and it's because of you all. 🩷

Forgive the poor pictures (and ignore the dunkin breakfast), but I wanted to show what the vibe of my day has been lol. My partner got One Piece party decorations (including a bunch of balloons which we've been smacking around).

There's also the little Buggy-in-a-Richie-onesie plush I got myself and the Chopper tamagotchi he got me. (And apparently something else that's still in the mail 👀)

I also wanted a picture cake and my guy only had a few reservations about walking into the grocery store with a clown picture lmao. The picture quality isn't the best, but it's still fun and what I wanted. 🥰

clown cake pics below the cut bc they really are low quality 🤡

Also peep the color candles! 🩷🩷🩷✨✨

[digimon-pokemon-swap-au]

The popular Tamagotchi pet inspired a cousin in 1997- Pokemon! This virtual pet was created by Akihiro Yokoi, who also created the Tamagotchi. It was conceived as a Tamagotchi alternative for boys.

"Pokemon are creatures who live in the magical Pocket World! You can keep one as a pet! But they are dangerous, so they must live in a special cage- the Pokevice! Your Pokevice contains everything your Pokemon needs to survive. Feed them, raise them, battle them! Watch them evolve through five unique stages! Are you ready to raise your first Pokemon?"

This tagline was attached to the back of every Pokemon virtual pet. It was accompanied by a popular anime series. The latter ballooned in the West, becoming a rival to the popular Digimon. At the time, it was considered a serious rival. Were you a Digimon kid or a Pokemon kid? The answer shattered playgrounds.

The series has died off since its early burst of popularity. But it is fondly remembered as a cult classic, especially its anime. Unlike the Digimon anime- which contained simple stories and an episodic format- Pokemon's anime was a sweeping epic. It was focused on eight children away at summer camp and their Pokemon. These were the PokeDestined- chosen to save the Pocket World from the evil Rocket Hunters!

Each child was marketed as an archetype. As the story continued, their archetype peeled away, revealing layers of hidden depth. It was this clever writing that attracted kids across the world. Everyone has a favorite PokeDestined!

In case you ever wondered what/how many digital pets I have, here's a curated list that I'll try to update regularly 👌🏿

HAPPY TAMAVERSARY! Smart Anniversary Party Set

It's November 23, so you know what that means...new Anniversary Tamagotchi to celebrate the market release date of the original Tamagotchi 26 years ago! Once again we have a Smart set, though it's a bit more lavish and readily available than last years.

To recap, last year the white Tamagotchi Smart was available via lottery on Bandai's exclusive shopping site Premium Bandai and shipped at the very end of August 2022 (close to 3 months before the general release of the coral pink, mint green, and NiziU versions). It includes the 1997 Friends TamaSma Card that lets you raise 4 classic characters (Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, Nyorotchi, Oyajitchi) in their 1996 monochrome pixel stylings along with playing the good old "Left or Right" game. Come to think of it, I wrote a post about the unboxing!

Anyway, this year's theme is Anniversary Party, plus it's available at general retail so more fans will be able to get their hands on it. Let's see how it looks next to last year's package.

IT'S BIG! The added length and depth comes entirely from the character book added as a bonus. (For those who've never opened a Smart, it's a VERY tight fit in there!)

On one side of the package you've got your special artwork...last year's mimicked the original P1 Japanese packaging, while this year's features a big old party with cake, balloons, plus all the Smart adults and the 10 included on the TamaSma Card, including Ginjirotchi who was picked by fans in a poll a few months back! This year's is much more in line with the modern Tamagotchi branding...I personally remain a fan of the classics.

Time to look inside!

Character Special Book? Check. Anniversary Party TamaSma Card? Check. Smart unit and wristband? Check. Instruction booklet and charging cable? Check and check. (Between my Vital Bracelets and my Smarts I'm swimming in these tiny cables!)

Now let's get a look at the actual unit.

Oh that is SPARKLY! A gorgeous glittery gradient makes up the "faceplate", with the new Tamagotchi logo screened in white on the clear cover. Matched with the purple of the unit it's a true visual treat.

Taking a look at the unit without the wristband, it's an opaque cool purple shell. I'd call it closer to periwinkle than lilac if we're going by Crayola crayon colors. The printed buttons around the Home button aren't a perfect color match, having a bit more red to them. It bothers me a bit but honestly I'm so busy staring at the sparkles I doubt I'll care much once this review is gone.

The wristband itself has a jelly-like opacity to it and feels a little firmer than the standard strap. The clasp is a slightly darker purple that matches the unit's Home button, and features no printing.

As for the Special Character Book...?

It's a bit smaller than the books that have been released so far. I thought it would be similar to the character introduction section of January's "Special Book", but it's actually BETTER!

While the Special Book used the blue-outline "modern" art for classic characters up until the Connection series, this book uses the original artwork from "back in the day". Pixels and personality galore! Plus they have full rosters for Angel, Garden, Ocean, Devil, and Yasashii, which were only covered briefly in the special book.

PLUS it's got character descriptions for EVERYONE, even the funky dudes who were exclusive to Data CardDass cards and random town residents who I'm not sure have ever been featured like this before!

All non-collab (NiziU, Sanrio, Molcar, One Piece, Pixar) SmaCard characters are included up to September's Magical Change as well. (The Anniversary Party characters are introduced pretty early on, plus they were all in past versions anyway.)

The inner covers also feature past series art including the original package, 20th anniversary art, and more!

I wasn't expecting so much love and care to go into a such a small volume, but I've gotten a real sense that whoever is in charge of Tamagotchi cares greatly about the history of the brand. Professor Banzo and Mika-Chu even give a send-off on the back cover, thanking us for 25 years and hoping we'll continue to stick with them going forward.

Overall, a great set sure to please even the most nitpicky of fans. Here's to another 25 years!

Sanrio Uni Gen5

Here's gen5, this is my first time to getting generation 5 after the update that made it easier to tell if you have a generation that's a multiple of 5. I was only able to keep up with things because I kept blogging about my tamagotchi so I could keep up.

Now that this update is helpful for people that aren't keeping track like me. Plus the egg is a nice color so even better.

My phone & the tamagotchi's screen made this washed out some, tried to get this to at least show the egg's color better for this pic.

On my first tamagotchi uni I messed up getting Bubbletchi cause I let gen4 leave instead of marry him off. This time I got Bubbletchi right away on gen5 without any mess ups.

Gen5 had a calm personality, she liked steamed eggs, sushi, soup, somen noodles, bubble hat, headphones, bedazzled glasses, ghost mask, bubble balloon & ghost friends

She became an adult while I was asleep(device's audio was off cause I was staying at my dad's & it would be noticeable despite it being on the lowest volume or at least to me) so didn't get the ability to get a pic of when the care badge for her actually showed up

Here's gen3(since gen4 is a DLC character that doesn't get a care badge) as an example for how the screen would look had I gotten the badge in time

Tamalog Day 24

Today the day started with a big twist coming right into my face and basically destroying me. Kuchipatchi introduced his girlfriend to me and asked for my blessing to go off and marry her, keep in mind that it was 7AM and i hadn't gone to bed yet cuz i wanted to just wait for everybody to wake up so i could call their Sitters and only then go to sleep safe and sound, but then our boy comes here and difficults my plans. I said yes of course since we had already said No last time he asked and i honestly didn't have a good reason to not let him go, so he got married, said goodbye and left a lil egg with me, which turned out to be a girl, and even though i needed to sleep cuz i had to see my therapist at 1:30PM, i stayed up for about 20-30 extra minutes to keep an eye on the new kid. Picochutchi and Neliatchi were left with their sitters as soon as they woke up.

Waking up at 12:00PM, i insta checked on the new kid and she had evolved into Kurumaritchi. I cleaned her poops, fed her and petted her, gave her a bath and stayed tuned in case she needed anything more from me. While i was still home i picked up Neliatchi and Picochutchi from their Sitters, fed them and played with them, Picochutchi as usual went with me to the Arcade and we played some 'Fast Food', while Neliatchi and i trained for her cooking job once again and played some 'Balloons' too. Picochutchi ate the last of her Pho Noodles and then some Sushi while Neliatchi ate only Pancakes since it was enough to fill her Hunger bar. After leaving the therapist me and my dad went to the first place i took care of my first Tama on the Pix, and me and Neliatchi explored, met Knightchi and took a photo with him. We also cooked some new colors that turned into a delicious Berry Smoothie that she has yet to try. Due to our training we also collected some of the fruits that fell from the trees we were watering, which turned out to be peaches, but Neliatchi also didn't try any of them yet, she had some Black Burguer though. Picochutchi and i did some Tama Searching, we did not meet anyone new yet, but we made some good progress into new stickers. For lunch Picochutchi had Boiled Eggs and Sushi.

Arriving home, Picochutchi was dirty, so i gave her a bath and just left her to do whatever. Kurumaritchi wanted some food, so i fed her as many Onigiri as she wanted and gave her some more pets, it also didn't take her too long to go to sleep since she is just a child, so after some good pets i was already down one Tama for the night. Neliatchi seemed really sad, so we played a lot on the training room (with varying results cuz my timing sucks), and when i least expected it, she had almost a full happiness meter, which was great for both of us and also made ME happy. Picochutchi and i went to the TamaVerse since she was feeling a bit bored and we played another match of the Fencing mini game, which spoilers, i once again managed to get us 3rd place cuz i'm just a noob, but she was happy so i was happy. We didn't buy anything new today on the designer shop, so we just went home.

With Kurumaritchi already asleep really early and Neliatchi going to sleep at 8PM, i just had Picochutchi to keep me company til' 10PM, which flew by as i was playing, and before i knew it, Picochutchi was also asleep, ending our Tama Day in an anti climatic way. She didn't even get hungry or bored, she just went to sleep basically maxed except for Happiness point. So i guess i did a good job anyway, go me!

Today was a great and short day, i am pretty tired as i write this log so i am going straight to bed after i finish writing. I am really really really excited to get my hands on new pets soon, probably will get a Touma Pet, a Punirune and a Tama Connection all in one go since i am a maniac and i want to go crazy with the new kids, so yeah, let's see how that goes. Long Live Tamagotchi and virtual pets, man, i am just so glad to have started with this hobby, helps to add something in my life that was pretty much missing for 10 years or more. Thank you for reading, i'll hopefully see you tomorrow. Good Night <3

[vastdetailrichworld]

this week has been great!!! and very, very busy. tuesday i began working at my dad's office, scanning and archiving old art. i got to join in on the tradition of going out for mexican food on tuesday :].

the next day i returned and scanned more art and went out to lunch with my dad and uncle. i got a really, really good salad. it had lettuce, cucumbers. avocado, red pepper, wonton crispies, and the star of the show- seared tuna, crusted in sesame seeds. oh man. it was absolutely delightful, and had a dressing that reminded me of sushi rice! we all got free cookies and mine was red velvet with white and semisweet chocolate chips and chunks. at one point my leg was hurting really bad from lower back pain i had gotten from being sick the week prior, and when i asked if anyone had ibuprofen, multiple women came to my aide and it felt nice :]

thursday mom, dad and i went to a german christmas mart thing. it was a lot of fun, but i could tell it really stressed mom out. there were so many people and different smells and the parking was a whole situation. but we pulled through and i certainly had a good time. we all got Fischbrötchen and fries with garlic aioli and it was really good!! really expensive for what it was though...$63!!! ah well. we also got some glazed cashews and they were really good, although i wouldve referred the pecans or almonds.

friday we went to my church's christmas event! i got to see a couple friends i havent seen in a while which was really nice. i bought some clikp on earrings for me [lightning bolts, balloon dogs, tamagotchis] and regular earrings for my mom [snowmen, snowflakes] for her birthday :] we also had some really good hot chocolate. i got to pet some cute sheep!

today it is saturday, and im going to meet up with my friend group from school. im really excited because we havent all been together in over a year! in fact, almost two years! we're gonna have dinner and do a white elephant gift exchange, and im hoping we can play some games too :] i love my friends and i cant wait to see them again!!!

Day 3 for MonMonth!

Apparently this little buddy is gotten if the tamagotchi isn't taken very well care of, which makes sense why I got him when I was in first grade or so.
