Tamagotchi Friends hatch!

Long time no see! Haven't played with my tamas for a long time. I did miss them but my life is quite busy right now so I didn't feel like untabbing my favorite (the v4) just for pausing it half of the time.

Until a few days ago... when a FB friend posted a photo of her new Tamagotchi Friends! I haven't been following tama related new for a long time so I had no idea the TF was being released in my country (Italy) this summer.

I fell in love with the shell design (since I was already in love with the iD L's) and I just HAD to get one LOL

I didn't like the pink one at first because the faceplate looks red in the pictures I saw, but it's actually bright pink in real life. I couldn't decide between purple, blue and pink but both my daughter and husband thought the pink is cute and very "me" so yay :D

The three eggs you got to choose from.

I chose the spotted one...

... and got a baby boy (Aokumotchi).

An hour later it evolved into a Turtletchi.

(Sorry this one came out blurry)

And after 24 hours it became a Cosmotchi. 

So cute!

At first I was aiming at a Knighttchi but now I think I will just go random. Like I said my life is a lot busier than before so I can't really have perfect care of my TF right now. 

I must say I'm not 100% happy with the Tama Friends: I miss the ability to give your critter a name, maybe it's just me but I feel it made you bond more with the creature.

Also I HATE that to achieve some of the characters you need to bump another TF and send messages. 

(In case you are wondering here's a Growth Chart: http://natashenka.ca/tamagotchi-friends-growth-chart/ )

Well technically, as a Tama-Zone user pointed out, you could force it to the "random" category and hope for the best... besides I'm not quite sure what determines the care factor (my guess is "care misses") and I have no clue what the "park" feature serves for. Is it just a cute animation?

I have a feeling my favorite is still the v4 :) at least until I get my hands on a iD Le :D

v4 GEN8 Pearl (Mimitchi) and Ball Glitch again T.T

Looks like I'll never reach the tenth generation -.- I thought I knew how to avoid the ball glitch but I was wrong... we'll get to that, first my 8th generation: this time I got a female, for a change. I named her Pearl after Maya's little cousin in Ace Attorney.  I got Mame family AGAIN (sounds like a curse!) so I picked the cute Mimitchi (Intellectual).

She's so cute! The cutest character ever <3

Postcard from Africa (my favourite so far!)

Let's talk about the glitch. I first caught it years ago, I was on my 7th generation on this very Tamagotchi (a USA v4 from the first wave). Since I got it after deleting many foods in a row, and since everyone trying to replicate it did the same, I assumed that deleting no more than one food at a time (playing games or doing other actions in between) was enough. I was wrong >.<
This morning my Mimitchi got her second job letter, so I though I could try to raise art points to get my favourite job (bakery). I used some Tamatown codes to buy donuts and cherries but my lists were almost full so I went to the present menu and deleted a food. Then I wrapped another and sent it over IR to my daughter's v4. Played some games, then deleted something else and so on. At some point I saw that they didn't go away from the list... oh gosh, I told to myself, talk about defective software... went back to the feed menu and one of the basic snacks was missing. Went back to present menu and there it was. The damn BALL.

You know what? I had just made my last donation to the king, yesterday. I had just got the last travel souvenir I was missing and was planning to fill the souvenirs list with my next generation, so I could see it 100% complete for once.

This just sucks. 

For sympathy, Julia agreed to reset her v4 as well... she had just completed her donations too... so I took some pics and we both reset our v4's. Unfortunately I thought too late that we could try to replicate the glitch on her v4, it's from Europe and I have no idea if EUR v4's are affected by the Ball glitch too. Since v4.5 are, I assume they are too. Oh well, it's too late now.

So we reset and got two boys. We named them Chuck and Casey after the TV show characters (we love Chuck!). I don't know if I'll stick to Chuck names for my following generations.

This time I know. I'll NEVER EVER trash or wrap ANY food AT ALL. I'll just feed them to my char to get rid of them. I promise I'll reach 10th generation this time and if I ever catch the ball glitch again I'm gonna smash that damn thing with a hammer and buy a iD L instead >.<

v4 GEN7 Damon (Tosakatchi)

OMG another male XD this is the FIFTH MALE in a row. I named him Damon after Detective Gant from Ace Attorney. Luckily this time I (unespectedly) got a Meme, so I put all my efforts to raise intellectual points and got a Tosakatchi.

This is like the weirdest char I got so far, he looks different in every zoom level O.O

Makeup shot, as usual

LOL I love the piercings :D he looks so badass XD

v4 GEN6 Larry (Androtchi)

OMG I just realized I've been pronuncing Tamagotchi the wrong way for my whole life >.< actually, the way English speaking countries commercial pronunce it is wrong... I have no idea how to write it to make you understand but the "chi" part is more like "ttttchi" O.O oh well, go to Youtube and search for "Japanese Tamagotchi commercial" and you'll see what I mean. I'M IN SHOCK LOL.

Back to my log, I got another male Mame... WTF? It's getting annoying. Anyways, I went for Androtchi this time, so I raised arts points.

His name is Larry, after Ace Attorney Phoenix's childhood friend.

Pics time! (click to see them bigger)
