Tamagotchi Connection Guide

Posted on  by

The Tamagotchi Connection (known as Tamagotchi Connexion in Europe and Tamagotchi Plus in Japan) was the first in a line of updated devices that featured an infrared port that allowed two units to communicate so that the characters could interact with one another. Jun 24, 2015  A: Connecting is how two modern Tamagotchi virtal pets communicate with each other. The idea started off with the Mesutchi and Osutchi pets in 1997, which coupled together and connected specifically for love and marriage through two metal por. Aug 21, 2015 Here is a fake Tamagotchi I bought under $2 from China. To be honest, I expected a much better game, but for this price, this is not that bad. The big problem is that your virtual pet is reset.

Tamagotchi Connection Setup

1) Wake up Tamagotchi from its million light-year sleep by removingthe insulating sheet (pull paper tab from side of body).

When you have completed these three steps, a pulsating egg will appear.Tamagotchi will hatch in about 5 minutes.

As soon as Tamagotchi hatches, it will beep at you for attention. Thisis where the health meter comes in handy. You can determine the mood, healthand behavior of Tomagotchi with the health meter. Tamagotchi will needto be fed and played with soon after it hatches. In order to start Tamagotchion a good growth path, you must take good care of Tamagotchi right fromthe start.

ATTENTION: When this icon is highlighted, Tamagotchi needs something.Check the Health Meter, to determine what Tamagotchi needs. If Tamagotchidoesn't need anything, it must be disciplined or the Attention Icon willstay highlighted.

DISCIPLINE: Tamagotchi needs discipline if it:

1) beeps even though it is full and happy

2) won't eat when it is hungry

3) won't play games when it is not very happy. If you neglect to disciplineTamagotchi when needed, it might grow up into an unattractive, bad manneredalien.

HAPPINESS AND HUNGER STATUS CHECK

There are a total of 4 hearts on the 'Happy' and 'Hunger'screens and they start out empty. The more hearts that are filled, thebetter satisfied Tamagotchi is. You must feed or play with Tamagotchi inorder to fill the empty hearts. If you keep Tamagotchi full and happy,it will grow into a cute, happy cyber creature. If you neglect Tamagotchi,it will grow into an unattractive alien.

DISCIPLINE STATUS CHECK

As the meter moves towards the right, it indicates you are raising awell-behaved Tamagotchi.

The higher the discipline scale the less trouble and better behavedTamagotchi will be. The key to increasing the discipline meter is to makesure you scold Tamagotchi when necessary. If Tamagotchi beeps at you forno reason, you must discipline it.

Tamagotchi needs discipline if it:

- beeps at you even though it is full and happy

- won't eat when it is hungry

- won't play games when it is not very happy

Well, there you have it, the OFFICIAL instructions from Bandai.

|HOME|


When you get your Tamagotchi, remember to do the following things:

  • Read the instruction manual.
  • Pull out the white tab out of your Tamagotchi.
  • Before the Tamagotchi is born, set the date and time, and tell it your birthday. The Tamagotchi will actually celebrate your birthday when it arrives!
  • When the Tamagotchi is born, it will show you the gender -- black for boys, and white for girls.


Starting Out:

When you first pull out the tab in your Tamagotchi an egg will appear. After you set the clock it will take 5 minutes and the egg will hatch. For the first hour of your little creatures life, he will need almost constant attention, so be prepared to have an hour spent with your little pet. When a baby is first born it needs constant love and attention, as a short while the young one will not need so much so fast. If you check the health meter you will determine what the young Babitchi needs. When he is just born, everything will be empty. Your job is to feed the little one meals until he is full, and play a game with him until he is happy, and clean up his mess after he goes poop. For that first hour the hungry and happy hearts will empty rather fast. After a good 20 to 30 mins he will take a nap. After a short 5-minute nap he will wake up. After another 30 mins or more, he will finally cease his demand need for food and play when he changes into his child.

Making Friends:

The advanced Tamagotchi Connection features new infrared communication functions allowing the virtual pet to become friends with other Tamagotchi and store a 'friend list' of up to 50 friends. The more friends you have, the more fun! Once adults, the Tamagotchi can connect with a compatible Tamagotchi friend and have a second-generation Tamagotchi that the owner can care for and nurture into an adult to create a possible third and fourth generation.

Meeting the Matchmaker:

If your Tamagotchi connection has not found a compatible mate by the time it reaches 7-10 years old (7-10 days in real time) then Mrs. Busybody will come along and suggest a mate. Reject her suggested mate too many times and your Tamagotchi will become a lonely old singleton. Be careful, you never know how many times she'll return!

Earning 'Training' Bars:

The way you train your Tamagotchi will affect how it will grow up and how disciplined it will be (determined by the amount of training bars). To earn training bars, you should praise it when it does something good, but give it a 'time out' if it refuses to do what you're asking it to do.

Secrets to Happiness:

Feeding your Tamagotchi a snack helps make it happy — but be cautious because too many snacks can cause cavities!

Keeping Fit:

Keep your Tamagotchi healthy by not only feeding it but also exercising it, too. It needs to stay in tiptop shape in order to grow, mature and creature new generations.

First Aid:

Maker sure you give your Tamagotchi medicine at the first signs of illness (represented by a skull hovering above). The sooner you treat your Tamagotchis illness, the better. And don't hesitate to give it a double dosage if necessary.
