For anyone else who got curious about what happens to the Angel tamagotchi if you neglect them, I got so curious that I paused the video and immediately googled it: the angel tanagotchi life span ends no matter what you do, you can either get a good ending or a bad ending. The story is that this is a tamagotchi that you took good care of in their previous life, and they want to spend time with you to thank you for all that you did before ascending to heaven (good ending.) If you don't take care of them, they turn into a devil in the Japanese version. In the english version, they just show an egg turning into a rock (?) and a screen that says "bye bye" (bad ending). I imagine that they changed it because most eurocentric cultures were Christian and their child's toy turning into a devil wasn't as accepted. Now you know!

I wanted a Tamagotchi SO BAD when I was a kid, but my parents just adamantly refused to buy me one because it was a "Girl toy". When I was in the third grade, I eventually got to borrow one from a girl in my class but I didn't know how to actually use a Tamagotchi so it died. I showed it to the girl I borrowed it from, and she cried so hard and so loud that my school permanently banned Tamagotchi. I still feel really bad for killing that girl's Tamagotchi by accident...

I feel like in a world where physical activity is at an all time low, this could really be an amazing concept and I don't get why no one makes it despite the technology being here already. I want a pet I can feed with steps ffs. Even outside of watches, there isn't a solid app that does this for phones either, even though all phones have an integrated pedometer already, it makes no sense.

I Only Have The Uni, My Parents Bought It For My Bday, It Is Amazing! After Watching The Video, I’m Glad It Has Color. And You Don’t Need 2 Tamagotchi Devices To Get To The Next Generation!

A long time ago my grandpa bought me a tamagotchi. I loved playing that thing and I vividly remember going to the TamaTown website and playing until I could afford the cool expensive stuff for my Tamagotchi pals. One day I lost it and I remember I was so sad, not because I lost a toy, but because I had lost a toy that my grandpa bought me. I was very close to my grandparents as much as I was to my own parents. My grandpa passed away in 2021 and I traveled down to Mexico for his funeral. While I was there my family asked if I could go to the bigger town to stock up on groceries,and when my grandma handed me the keys to my grandpas car, there on the key ring, was my Tamagotchi. When my grandparents got ready to move to Mexico he had found my Tama while cleaning the house, and he figured that since I was 18 I wouldn’t miss a toy that I played with when I was 10, so he kept it on his keys. I now have it with me, with a copy of my grandpas house key on the key ring with it.

Honestly, I always felt bad for clowns and dolls being considered creepy by most people when the intent seems to be about making you laugh and smile. :( Not that I remember much experiences with them, but I mean... I had beanie babies and furbies and enjoy that anyway, LOL. :p

The beeper is called "piezo element", and you can buy it easily and replace it. looks like it connects to the board using the metal tabs attached to the piezo. Try cleaning the metal tabs, the place where they touch the board and, maybe, bend the tabs a little so they make a good connection. If nothing works, replace the piezo. Since there are no solders, it should be easy. Also, clean the switch with contact cleaner.

Despite being a little agitated over R2-D2 not being seen as a cool Tamagotchi Nano, even though it was my first one, I appreciate how you went out of your way to explain the entire lineage of Tamagotchi! I plan on doing something cool one day with Tamagotchi like adding a D-pad, color, and light. But take out things like death and constantly getting in trouble for trying to take care of it in school. Instead, it would go to sleep when you're asleep or at school and would stay dormant for as long as you leave it. Also with a rechargeable battery and a way to connect to other Tama creatures locally! And yes, it would have a way to have other unique Tamas like Hello Kitty and Sonic.

I really love this video! Usually when i see a nearly hour long youtube video it just looks like a chore, but i realised that's because most other youtubers deliberately stretch out the content and it becomes bland. the information in this was really concise and interesting, there was just so much of it it truly justified the hour long length. thank you for such a cool video

The Twisted Wonderland one is kind of funny because one of the characters in it, Malleus, has a Tamagotchi equivalent called Gao Gao-kun and it's a joke that he's kept it alive for like 100 years. So you can have a Tamagotchi of a character with a Tamagotchi

This is a masterpiece and the best way to have spent my train journey. This history is crazy and though im someone who sticks with the old school Gen 1 i really can appreciate the world and community this has created. I hope you can rest now this mammoth of a project is done!

The thing about Tamagotchi that still makes me feel bad about myself is.. My country was ravaged by the war in the 90's, it was not possible to buy soccer ball, Tetris, or anything electronic, let alone Tamagotchi. Kids played on the street, and their main hobby was collecting posters of famous singers and actors. Then one day a guy joined my class, and he was from Sweden. He had everything, from sega mega drive, to RC cars, other handheld gaming consoles, you name it.... And also, he had Tamagotchi. One time I came to his place and saw it, it was beautiful, and amazing, the idea of having your own pet and interacting with it blew my mind. So, I just took it, I stole it lol.. There was no way for me to pass the opportunity, I just couldn't resist, it was like a dream coming true. I knew that if I don't steal it that day, I probably won't have it any other way. So yea..to a guy from Sweden, thank you for unwillingly making my childhood amazing, I kept the pet fed and comfy, and if it means anything to you- I still feel bad about stealing it. I am trying to make up for that by buying video games that I like to random strangers. Games like Terraria, Borderlands 2, Don't starve etc.. and I 3D print game/movie figjres and gift them to random kids. I know its not enough, but at least I am making a small impact. Tack så mycket!

Bro knows exactly what hes doing, angering fanbases casually

only a minute and a half into this video and i gotta say im already adoring the art done in this one. simple but really really cute and charming

The one big lesson I took from tamagotchi is that ditching responsibility is ultimately a very liberating feeling.

I used to own my first Tamagotchi back in 2004 got it as a Christmas present. I loved that tiny little beeper to the point I annoyed mom with every new thing my Tama did (growing bigger, getting married) etc. It was also getting fairly popular in our school so they banned them, leaving many Tamas to die at home. Not long until the V3 was presented to me as a birthday gift a couple of years later, it was a hit! Every cool kid had one. With the mute button and a shop came out and we could keep them under our desk (those were the ones that open revealing some storage space for your pens, books etc. You could decorate that a little as well) and using friends computer to visit Tamatown and sharing all the secrets about it and raving about the games that v3 had, it was the perfect Tamagotchi. I made so many friends with that in my childhood Few years later my Tamagotchi bugged out to the point of no return and got destroyed with the hammer because of that and that was the end of it. Literally. After that in my 20's came Furby 2012, Boom and so on, that's a different story. Tamagotchi sparked my enthusiasm for small electronics and robots in general, which continues until this day. Just watched your video about Tamagotchi Uni. @14:37- 15:09 Did you just use Jazz Jackrabbit menu song? Omg, such a flood of childhood memories rushed over me :]

Coming back to say that shortly after watching a tamagachi of the hololive Vtuber Usada Pekora was announced and I didn’t think I coulda wanted one more than after I saw this but I was very wrong, I need the pekogotchi asap

thank you so much for bringing me inti this rabbit hole again!! i am just thinking about getting a tamagotchi uni or waiting for the second wave since i dont like their colors af of right now :D

Tamagotchi was never really my thing but when I've looked enough, You know my money will go to.

I too was a Tama-obsessed child and this has instantly become one of my favourite youtube videos ever. (Side note, I'm surprised they haven't done Danganronpa as a nano license yet, since the Tamagotchi-esque sprites of the characters are such a prominent part of the actual game)

Honestly, I'm pretty sure there's a reason that will never happen - Danganronpa would be way too niche, and Bandai probably wouldn't want to have a licenced Tamagochi for a game with that much violence in it. However, Danganronpa itself could do a handheld similar to Tamagochi.

this was such a great video!!

Couple notes from a person who was cognizant in the 90's: The player avatar was represented by the blonde girl character and the professor. The first two Game Boy games are really good, better and more in-depth than any tamagotchi ever made. Also lots of interesting games for Saturn, N64, Playstation etc. The spelling of Clautchi and Genjintchi omits the letter i, and this is a common Japanese spelling. In englsih it's still pronounced with the i. It's just shorthand romanization for the syllabic language. There are many cases of Tamagotchi being spelled Tamagotch also. The Mothra no Tamagotchi would be the groundwork for the original Digital Monster.

I have both of the games shown here and my Japanese ones actually does vibrate when I put in a battery and I agree they are both more fun than the OG Tamagotchi we got. You can also just switch them off which automatically makes it better in my opinion because those old ones were soon annoying and my dad took care of the two my older siblings had when they were at school because the school banned them very quickly.

There's still so much that I want to learn about the Saturn game, but I still haven't got a hang on Mednafen. Apparently there's a couple of newbies apart from the Sega guys but I've only ever seen them in guidebook/magazine scans posted online. The PS1 game, however... That thing is EVIL. I'm really glad NeoMame and whoever added the remaining sprites picked up on my slack, because I do not want to touch it ever again, even if only to figure out more of the breeding combos. I almost wish it was the vintage game allergic to emulators rather than the N64 one.

I had a G5 tamagotchi as a kid. I remember I had one creature for a long time and my sister helped me keep it alive. I remember I sorta accidentally neglected it on Halloween and it died. I was convinced it was just dressed as a ghost for Halloween and my sister has to explain that it starved to death. Oops

this is the BEST possible ad for Buyee. I'm intimidated by those kinds of sites, but you explained it SO WELL. rly hope the link still works for a while LOOLLL.. I had the same complaints about the TamaSmart. I was SO EXCITED.. but the buttons and touch were too frustrating. When I sold mine, i even included a hand written GUIDE to explain how the screen and buttons work so the buyer didn't think it was defective because of the "Lag". I really hope they try again, but better. The newest Tamagotchi is a sort of continuation to the smart ? It's so cute and colorful, but there's only like, 3 games. and I only like 1 of them. It uses motion for a dance game and it barely works. Amazing video, loved all the edits and origins. Your little mascot is PRECIOUS.

oh sweet tamagotchi, have been fascinated by it since I was a child. My first one was the blue Tamagotchi connection which I got when I was 7 years old after begging my dad to buy me one in a supermarket (yeah somehow those were on sale in supermarkets). I remember when I cried after the first death of my pet. Unsurprisingly, many of our childhood interests have faded out of relevancy in the modern world but yet Tamagotchi still continuously pumps out new models and collabs regularly and for that I am so grateful.

I love ur vids! I really like old stuff and games and this rlly hits that..I used to have all that Vtech stuff not a tamagotchi but they did the same stuff. Loved it! Im not even half through the vid but its already lookin good! Informative and fast paced and beautifully edited and executed!!!

I loved this! Awesome work ❤️ I also love that in the end he called out people falling asleep to videos… because I literally did that last night. Fell asleep 10 minutes in and decided I would have to come back in the morning to watch the full vid. So glad I did 😊

So, I'm old. I had an original Tama from like '96 or something like that. But when you said you were going to talk about EVERY Tama ever released, I was excited to hear you talk about my two favorite Tama that I had as a kid, Disney's Little Mermaid Ariel (released: 1997), and Sabrina the Teenage Witch's Salem (released: 1997). You didn't mention them, so I went digging and found out they weren't actually Tamagotchi brand pets at all, they were Giga Pets by Tiger. And I gotta say, while I loved my OG Tama blob back in the day, I was OBSESSED with my Ariel and Salem. After this initial dig into the past, I wondered if Tamagotchi's development team were ever upset about Giga Pets swooping in and making copycat toys, but then I did some MORE research and found out Giga Pets actually pre-date Tamagotchi's by one year?! I thought the Japanese toys were the originals, but according to the Wiki, "Giga Pets were first created in 1995 (as "V-Pets") by Chicago Toy inventing firm REHCO LLC. Rehco quickly licensed the concept to Tiger Electronics and the product was later launched as Giga Pets. In 1996 Tamagotchi, egg-shaped virtual pets, were introduced in Japan by Bandai and were widely credited with initiating the virtual pet craze in the U.S., the UK, and other countries." Which kinda blew my mind. In any case, I actually kind of feel like the licensed Gigas were way more fun than any of the Tamagotchi brand creatures. I LOVED that you could brush Ariel's hair, make her play with flounder, have her sing, go to school, etc. She had so many cute idle animations, too. She would look for treasure, do flips, jump out of the water and dive back down, etc. Salem would talk on the phone, drive cars, type on a typewriter, play games, etc. They were both really special to me, and this whole video took me down a rabbit hole of nostalgia. I wish I could say I still had those Gigas, and the old Tama I had, too. But I was only 9 years old in 1997 during my peak ownership years and obviously didn't have the forethought to think, "Hey, I should make sure I never let my parents get rid of these or lose them!" because I have no idea what happened to them. Regardless, thank you for reminding me of this precious time in my youth. I have such fond memories of the Tama-craze from like 96-99. People would brag about having "rare" ones on the playground, or trade them for cooler ones. Brag about raising theirs to adulthood (most of us accidentally killed them), or just generally show them off. Teachers HATED them. They would beep in class, I remember kids getting them taken away and them going into full nuclear meltdown mode crying about how their pet was going to die because the teacher took it away and begging the teacher to give it back. It kinda turned us all into nervous stressed out little parents for a bit. You'd panic about feeding and playing with them and get stressed out if you couldn't figure out what they needed. Cry if they died, celebrate when they evolved, etc. It was an interesting time, to be sure.

I love mine so much! I even stole my younger sisters pick because she was too young to care and wasn’t interested in the computer game. I am so sad that about ten years ago my Tamagotchi got lost/thrown away, I had a whole collection of them that I absolutely love(d).

In July the TamagotchiUni was released and now uses WiFi and has the Tamaverse which is the Metaverse of Tamagotchi. It is also rechargeable with a USB-C cord!

The aggressive smacking on the angelgotchi was personal

I still remember being in the school playground when I accidentally discovered you could speed age your tamagotchi by constantly changing the time to 11:59pm and waiting for it to tick over to midnight.

Back in 90s Russia there were urban legends about Tamagochi going around about how people would get obsessed with caring for them and letting their irl baby die or this one kid who killed his younger brother because the brother killed the tamagochi which had grown to the ingame age of 15(idk if that's even a thing, I don't remember how Tamagochi works in detail). Some of the kids were scared of them.

I understand the distaste for the licensed nanos since they're effectively just low-commitment versions of the whole VPet concept designed to tie in to their respective works and all, but in every case, the sprite work is absolutely adorable. They're definitely on the upper tier of licensed merchandise, particularly in the work that goes into some of the shell designs like the Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen lines, turning them essentially into egg-ified versions of the related characters.

Bandai also does the Vial Bracelet, which was originally a Digimon wearable, but had also expanded to Ultraman and Kamen Rider, which has the same sort of growth tree as Tamagotchi, but also has some app functionality and fitness watch capability. I'd love to see them introduce Viral Band and Tamagotchi playabilities to each other.

It's crazy to see what was originally a competitor now as an official Tamagotchi towards the end of the video with that R2 mini Tama.

I'd love to see a follow-up vidow about the tamagotchi universe! The games (like the Wii and DS ones), the movie, the anime, etc. I was obsessed with tamagotchi as a kid and had almost all the figures for the Tama-Go! The ability to switch out the designs was so neat

I think the main reason you weren't having a good experience with the tamagotchi connect v3, v4, and v4.5 was that tamatown online was the big thing for those 3 so without being able to connect them to the website you only get half the experience

The emotion in this piece was immaculate, thank you. If you ever wanted to do another deep-dive, I'd genuinely love seeing something like this done for Digimon's virtual pets. I recently took a look at some of the new Digivices and got immediately baffled by the different iterations and had no idea where to even start. Seeing the differences in the Tama line progressions felt very similar (going from I think greyscale with the little docking points, to color, to an eventual wearable with different functionality than its main line and an app), and you did a fantastic job breaking these differences down so they didn't seem so overwhelming. I would bet you could use a lot of the same progression to explain its brother series, if you ever wanted to. Thanks for all the grand info on Tamagotchi! :'D
