Fun fact about the mobile game, the actual LPS toys that you could buy at the time tended to come with cards, which you could scan and then see that pet in the game
When I played this game, I didn't have a single one of those pets with the cards. So I would just search up the cards on google to scan, and it surprisingly worked? Little cheater that I was.
the shutdown Gameloft game was my CHILDHOOD with a C. i would play it every chance i got, and i always wanted to grow my place more and more. caring for them (particularly the ball game) was my favorite part of the whole experience 😭💕
I never really touched any of these… but as someone who was around in the small and weird LPS 2012 *Tumblr* fandom, what I have REALLY fond memories of is the fangame Vin City. A janky but enjoyable platformer with a bunch of different minigames and funny writing, plus some really cute art and music. It’s tricky to play these days because, y’know, it was a fanmade flash game primarily available on tumblr, but I still make it work every few years to revisit it.
hey, thanks for telling about it! I wasn't in the english speaking fandom at the time, so I'm only discovering this now. Playing it on the archiveorg rn, thanks for recommending lol
I'm kind of sad most people gloss over it (although I doubt there's much to cover anyways) but when people talk about LPSO they tend to forget the predecessor LPS VIP which was a different site. By the time I got an LPS VIP the game was completely empty and on the verge of shutting down (in favor of LPSO), but it's really nostalgic to me.
the LPS plug and play was such an integral piece of my childhood. the amount of time i spent playing the minigames especially the bowling and race games was ridiculous lmao. i'm so glad you brought it up 🥺
I used to have the Plug and Play and played it like everyday. My mom threw it away because the thought i didnt play anymore. She also made me throw away like all of my LPS toys. I still havemt forgiven her cause this is a cycle that has happened many times
An old friend once had an LPS DS game as a kid and he didn't want to try these pink sunglasses on his cat because they were "too girly". My brother in Christ, you are playing an LPS game.
Shunks you didn't include every LPS game. You forgot about Littlest Pet Shop Your World! It was an app from i belive 2018? for the 5th generation of LPS! I remember playing the minigames and thinking they were pretty fun, but eventually the game got grindy with the collecting of pets and stuff. It's not available anymore from what i can find which is such a shame.
I don’t think that they came out in 2017, I remember having a bunch of the toys and watching the show in 2013, additionally some of the toys have hasbro’s trademarks from 2013. I played lps world a lot but I heavily doubt that they released in 2017 unless I’m severely misremembering. Please correct me though, maybe we’re talking about something else

@@ThatPinkLady OOOH!! You're talking about the Gen 4 pets! Those did release in 2013 yeah! They're different gens.

The biggest difference being the way the eyes look and how every gen 4 pet has a distinctive toothpick-legged look that the gen 5 pets don't have.

My dad designed the games for pretty much all of digital pet keychains, the "PDA", and even the digital pet writing pen (which wasn't in the video, understandably). We have a bunch of prototypes and original game design docs. I worked for Hasbro too back then. My first job with them was voicing the first baby pony in the MLP PC Play Pack. I actually play-tested the LPS online thing before it came out. Thank you for covering these older games. Its nice to see that people are still interested in them.

Fun fact, whatever sound library the LPS 2008 wii game used, The Eric Andre show also used. I was with some friends while watching Eric Andre when I hear a very familiar music clip. I spent like 10 minutes on a wild goose chase till I found it was the music from the Bubble Bounce game. All my friends thought I was insane for being able to recall such an obscure thing from my childhood. Truth is, I probably clocked 200 hours in that game lol The song is in season 3 episode 2. I'm pretty sure there were other incidences where I heard lps music but that was the first for me
on a related note, gameloft still uses a lot of sound effects from their lps game in their my little pony game! nice to hear it in other places, but also kind of sad considering one of the above is unplayable now :(
I'm surprised you forgot to mention LPS Shop Your World. Rather than being a city builder, it was a direct tie in with the TV show. You could scan physical toys into the game, and with time built up floors of the Pet Shop, which you could then customize. There was pet customization and minigames and everything. I remember playing it much more than the Gameloft game as a kid
I have a very vivid memory of getting invested in the LPS plug and play one rainy New York Summer as a kid. Nothing like sitting inside as it storms out earning coins for my lil TV pet. Also, the editing and pacing on this video is great. I'm only a few minutes in but the edits and memes are very funny. Great work so far Shunks!
One of the most fun things about playing the LPS Wii/PC game as a kid was that you could control the pet with both the wasd keys and the arrow keys. at the same time. so me and my sister would fight for dominance
hadnt had a single thought about those lps tamagotchi games in like 15 years but im so glad youve forcibly brought them back into my consciousness bc i was once obsessed
Idk if anyone remembers to this game (or can prove my sayings) which was released back to the early 2010's. Not much could I recall from that game, only is it was similar to the most popular LPS game, but with lower graphics, a gachapon machine in the shop, also you could buy various pets, houses, which were different. If anyone remembers to this, you're OG. If noone, I would consider this a lost media then.
@@DeviBuster oh hi, youtube never gave me a notification, but yes I know which one that is, the one you had sounds to be moshling theme park, but the others were moshling zoo and katsuma unleashed.
As some one who was obsessed with lps as a kid LOVE this dive into the mediocre but nostalgic games but genuinely sad that both you AND izzzyzzz mention lpso but not lps vip!!! (You even show a vip plush at 2:47!) It was the online game that came before lpso and i played it constantly. It was online but not an mmo, it kinda reminded me of something like pet society (or really any other facebook type social game) where you could dress up your pet and room. You could look at other people's rooms but that was about it for the social aspect. Like the console games you had a top down world you would just explore and play mindless mini games. I think there was a basic farming mechanic too?? There were also pets who came with buddies, kinda like lil kinz from webkinz they were smaller but they just followed around the main pet with the actual code. As far as im aware this thing is lost media (i think a few gameplays videos still exist), any one who remembers a browser based lps game thinks of lpso, and i don't blame them lpso was way better but it just always makes me sad how forgotten lps vip is. They still do live on in the some of the best designed lps plushies imo. Also vip stood for virtual online pet and i always thought that was super cute :3
IM SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE LITTLE TAMOGACHI THINGS I HAD THREE I LOVED THEMMM I had the one you have, the hamster and the ladybird and the hamster was my favourite. i used to adore them, my parents didnt want me to have a real tamogachi at the time but i loved lps so much i didnt care when i was handed three lps ones for the price of one real tama LOL
This was such a nostalgic hit to the head for me. I used to play so much LPS games as a kid, especially the DS games. I think I may still have those games. I especially loved the biggest stars and the friends games because they had good minigames (at least I think so-I should replay the game), have a nice plot, and the pets having personalities. I also loved and used to collect so much LPS tamagotchi as a kid (the one I remembered most was a hamster) and the plug and play too. Thank you for giving me such a nostalgia boost with this video.
I used to have the LPS plug and play game! It made me so happy as a kid :) It even CAME with my first littlest petshop owl, which I still have on my shelf. I also had the little digital pet.
The DS games and the Gameloft game were my childhood. If I were to make an LPS series, it would definitely have the setting of the second and third DS games! LPS Friends is especially my favorite of the trilogy; I love how it has so many interactive things around the map and the accessories being very customizable. The LPS Gameloft game is partially lost media by the way! There are a few limited pets that still need images and descriptions uploaded online.
I remember playing the LPS Friends game on repeat as a kid. I'd get to the party, feel satisfied, and then just restart. And it is burned into my brain forever I think
Hi shunks! There is another mobile game for lps that you did miss. I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s from the Blythe era. In the early gen, the lps came with a code that you can scan and they appear in a mobile game. In the game you get to expand Blythe’s pet shop, with each new floor that you buy coming with a new mini game. I remember that you could’ve eventually bought an airport and unlock even more mini games. Im unsure if there is any documentation of the game, but it was super fun and I would highly recommend you checking it out. Loved the video a lot, you should definitely make more lps themed content:D EDIT: I believe it’s called littlest pet shop your world. I highly recommend you look into it as it seems to be forgotten
It's been wiped off the App Store AND Google Play Store. I did get to play it before it was removed, and you basically perfectly summarised it. My favourite minigame was the canvas one. Shame the game's gone now.
The one at 2:15 isn't a DS game tie-in, it's actually a card creator where you could drag and drop images and whatnot to create your own printable cards :3
I had the LPS tamagotchi, and its was absolutely insane the amount of things you could do with these. I was basically stranded to the countryside at my grandma's farmhouse and this thing kept me busy for the whole 10 days. I did even touch my whole ass Nintendo DS. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed testing out Tamagotchis after that.
I was actually never an LPS fan as a kid, but i somehow came into possession of an LPS Friends ds game. I lost it during a move a few years ago, but couldn't remember what game it was- you were right that it got burned into my 2009 brain as a kid because I'd spent a long time trying to find it. Really good video!
As a kid I used to play a lot like A LOT the LPS pc version and it was so fun, it opened my eyes to open world games, i still have the game and i really want to play it again lol
Theres another moble game for lps inless i had a fever dream about it but yah its different to others, its the hotel and you unlock the levels over time and do other things with it
3:26 I HAD THIS PLUG N PLAY QHEN I WAS A KID. I LOVED IT SO MUCH. WE STILL HAVE THE CONTROLLER BUT THE CABLE WAS CUT OFF,,, I WANNA BUY ANOTHER ONE AND PLAY IT AGAIN.
For some reason I have ALL of the big star DS games and I 100% ALL THREE OF THEM After rewatching this I think I should do it again my ds still works after all
1:28 the third one is definitely not from the same era as the other two. it uses assets and the logo from the 2012 cartoon. so it would have to be from 2012 at the earliest
I gotta say the inFamous title sliding across the screen for like 12 frames while a clip of the bee movie plays and Shunks talks about Wii games hit me with a lot of unexpected whiplash
There was a flash LPS game i played as a child in the early 2000s, It was a pet salon game and I don't believe you mentioned it but it was a staple to my childhood along with poly pocket.
I had the plug and play, friends on the ds, and purple team, I remember them all so vividly lol, I played the heck out of purple team man, that monkey minigame I remember went on forever. Those animations are all so charming to me
I had an LSPO account, LPS Biggest Adventure, and the Wii versions of LPS 2008 and LPS friends Also that stupid Light game from Friends was a nightmare 😭
I had both the Plug-n-Play and Wii version of LPS Friends as a kid! loved them both to death honestly, Friends really scratched my brain just right when I was like 10
I had the "circumcised" version of the virtual pet!! The horse one!! I do not think it was as loud. I can't remember a lot which is not unusual for me as I have memory problems but I do remember getting to walk the horse and go shopping. I also had the DS version of the Wii game. I think Winter? It was really cute. I liked all the different lands and dressing them up and stuff. There was a virtual world ala Webkinz from around the same time as well. You needed a plush with a code. I have no idea if any of it from it was archived.
I was shaking and gripping my seat waiting for lps friends I LOVE THAT GAME SO MUCH!!!! Hearing the title song got me running around like an animal in its enclosure
They actually did do another LPS show, Littlest Pet Shop: World of Our Own, it ran for 1 season but it was definitely a step up in quality and the designs actually looked good!
I have the blue tamagotchi, but a dog version. It has tons of games but bc of the lack of buttons it’s really hard to get around. There is a big map and plenty of activities. It needs more than just “change option” and “select”.
The tv plug in game my grandma got my for Christmas and kept it at her house to play when I was over with a cold or being watched when my mom was at work. So nostalgic to see it again
for the longest time I hear about lps but never really knew what it was and now not only has this video made me understand the whole premise but it also made me unlock some core memories because I remember being obsesses as hell with the 2012 lps show and that one game, I genuinely did not remember what the hell they were called so thank you for this video, you've just made me remember my childhood a bit more lol
I had the plug n play and tamogatchi. i was scared it wouldn't be on here. I'm sorry I doubted you, Shunks. So excited to see they were first. So nostalgic to see footage from the plug n' after so long. So happy for this video!
i still have the gameloft game on my phone, oh how happy it made me. one of my core memories was being 6, grinding to get a bunny rabbit animal thing while sitting on the couch in the living room with my dad coming home and my mom making macaroni. IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY
the 90’s Littlest pet shop cartoon was lovely btw it was very standard toon-ish 90’s humor and episode format. I remember watching the episodes 5 years back and it held up decently .
I used to play the MLP and LPS Gameloft games all the time. I spent more time on the MLP one, but I do get very nostalgic when I see the LPS one. It was a simple time then. 😅
I had the plug and play game, and for some reason mine was in black and white exclusively, so let's say I was surprised and felt betrayed when I learnt this game actually has COLORS! Anyways I was absolutely obsessed with it, I would play it everyday. The day the cable got damaged beyond repair was the worst thing to ever happen to child me I was also VERY obsessed with the Gameloft one it was insane
the amount of memories i got flushing back at me from the Littlest Pet Shop friends city ds version or whatever is insane, i LIVED that game as a kid, tried starting it up again but cant get it to work on my ds anymore tho, crying
Had the winter and city games on ds, but I remember there were also a web game where you had to buy plushies to get a code to get the plush character ingame. Had probably 6 of those plushies. Haven’t seen anyone play it online but I remember it was quite good? And the tamagotchis were PEAK, I had the husky and remember at 6-8 hanging it on my keychain and bringing it to school where a bunch of other kids also brought theirs. The amount of color, pets and designs were so fun. We used to connect them together do something ingame which I don’t remember what was.
I grew up with the LPS wii game but mostly played it on pc aswell. And god i loved it so much. Getting new pets was like the most exciting part. Each pet gets their own little cutscene of arriving with the train and seeing their animations while running, the sounds they make and how they look with accesories was so fun. The congo line and circle formation as they talk with eachother was always so adorable though i did always find it dissapointing that you can't join those. But you can jam at the radio with a group of them. I also had a dream once about a brand new area lol.
The plug and play section scared me so bad I thought I had dreamed it all up 😭😭 also the seahorse was my favorite so I was pissed I couldn’t play more games with it
i remember staying up super late at a sleepover with my friends playing their LPS game to blue ribbon the skyline game, crouched over the screen and DS plugged into the wall. good times.
I do have 4 compilation DVDs of the 2012 series. They used to come in white cases (which was the standard for Shout! Factory Kids releases). but I gave them purple cases that I get from Barney DVDs.
oh my god i remember being like no older than 10? probably less, and my dad getting me that pig tomodachi game on a carride to keep me entertained because it was cheap and i have so much nostalgia for it, im extremely tempted to buy one just to relive it but its so expensive. I remember you could travel across the ocean with a boat and look at some leaves falling and i thought the music was so pretty as a kid. i remember it gave me kinda weirdly liminal vibes but i still loved it
oh my god seeing the plug-n-play game and knockoff tamagotchi brought waves on nostalgia crashing down on me. I'm surprised you didn't add a section in for LPS VIP, LPSO's predecessor
I swear I had like 7 of those tomogachi toys. I'm pretty sure there is also a feature where you can have your pets play with each other by connecting them. They were great
Came here for Littlest Pet Shop Friends for the Wii. I didn't really have the toys or anything else as a kid, but I did have that game and was obsessed with it (I think I still have it in my box of Wii games)
I had 2 Tamagotchi ones!! Believe I had a hamster and a cat one. I adored them so much, I liked that there was more to it than the Official Tamagotchis, where you sat around staring at your Tamagotchi waiting for it to need something.
I grew up owning Biggest Pets 3 with the horse and dog, and also had the Wii game as well! I remember playing it for hours just to beat the game, and collect everything in it. It brings back so many memories to think about, and with how happy it made me as a child!

Fun fact about the mobile game, the actual LPS toys that you could buy at the time tended to come with cards, which you could scan and then see that pet in the game
YES!! I remember that, the pet stays in the game for 24h and then you had to scan them again
you could do that?? surprised i never knew that, i l played that game a lot, maybe i never brought lps for that game, but i would think i did.
@user-rl8wy4sz9b Oh my god, yes, that was my main reason I hated playing the game and ended up uinstalling the game.
@@user-rl8wy4sz9b that’s a different game! The Gameloft game had tokens to scan that gave rewards like bling.
When I played this game, I didn't have a single one of those pets with the cards. So I would just search up the cards on google to scan, and it surprisingly worked? Little cheater that I was.

Me too! I still have my copy of country friends!

Hello! 2004 kid here! I played the LPS PC game (on 11:26) alot as a child. Its a great nostalgia and addicting for me lol
IM SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE LITTLE TAMOGACHI THINGS I HAD THREE I LOVED THEMMM I had the one you have, the hamster and the ladybird and the hamster was my favourite. i used to adore them, my parents didnt want me to have a real tamogachi at the time but i loved lps so much i didnt care when i was handed three lps ones for the price of one real tama LOL
SCREAMING
I had some of the story based DS games!!!! They were actually SUPER fun! I miss those games.
This was such a nostalgic hit to the head for me. I used to play so much LPS games as a kid, especially the DS games. I think I may still have those games. I especially loved the biggest stars and the friends games because they had good minigames (at least I think so-I should replay the game), have a nice plot, and the pets having personalities. I also loved and used to collect so much LPS tamagotchi as a kid (the one I remembered most was a hamster) and the plug and play too.
Thank you for giving me such a nostalgia boost with this video.
I cant believe LPS online was only online for 3 years?!! Dude those 3 years felt so long!
God i miss the heyday of LPS
I used to have the LPS plug and play game! It made me so happy as a kid :) It even CAME with my first littlest petshop owl, which I still have on my shelf. I also had the little digital pet.
I still have my lps tamagotchi thing, i had the persian cat and so far it still works! I havent even had to replace the battery
22:21 okay but why did I almost cry hearing the home screen music again 😅
The DS games and the Gameloft game were my childhood. If I were to make an LPS series, it would definitely have the setting of the second and third DS games! LPS Friends is especially my favorite of the trilogy; I love how it has so many interactive things around the map and the accessories being very customizable.
The LPS Gameloft game is partially lost media by the way! There are a few limited pets that still need images and descriptions uploaded online.
I totally forgot about lps friends. I can clearly hear the weird sound the bear makes in my head. What a fever dream of a game
MY SIBLINGS WERE OBSESSED WITH THE LITTLEST PET SHIP WII GAME!!! IT WAS SO FUN!!!
That PC port of Littlest Pet Shop was my favorite game as a child.
LOVED the lps biggest adventure game growing up! Nostalgia, damn
I remember playing the LPS Friends game on repeat as a kid. I'd get to the party, feel satisfied, and then just restart. And it is burned into my brain forever I think
Hi shunks! There is another mobile game for lps that you did miss. I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s from the Blythe era. In the early gen, the lps came with a code that you can scan and they appear in a mobile game. In the game you get to expand Blythe’s pet shop, with each new floor that you buy coming with a new mini game. I remember that you could’ve eventually bought an airport and unlock even more mini games.
Im unsure if there is any documentation of the game, but it was super fun and I would highly recommend you checking it out. Loved the video a lot, you should definitely make more lps themed content:D
EDIT: I believe it’s called littlest pet shop your world. I highly recommend you look into it as it seems to be forgotten
It's been wiped off the App Store AND Google Play Store. I did get to play it before it was removed, and you basically perfectly summarised it. My favourite minigame was the canvas one. Shame the game's gone now.
i rrmember that one!!!
@@serenity-studios8217my favorite was the running one or smth but like it had hamster tubes
@@leafylynx983 I remember loving the pool one a lot
@@ThatPinkLady i know whoch one your talking about
The one at 2:15 isn't a DS game tie-in, it's actually a card creator where you could drag and drop images and whatnot to create your own printable cards :3
THE LITTLEST PET SHOP GAME IS SHUT DOWN??? Im so upset what.
You forget the Gameloft game that comes with the smasung pocket cellphone and can't be deleted or downloaded
I LOVED THE LPS 2008 ONE SM AS A KID, I LOW-KEY MISS IT 😭
I had the LPS tamagotchi, and its was absolutely insane the amount of things you could do with these. I was basically stranded to the countryside at my grandma's farmhouse and this thing kept me busy for the whole 10 days. I did even touch my whole ass Nintendo DS. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed testing out Tamagotchis after that.
I was actually never an LPS fan as a kid, but i somehow came into possession of an LPS Friends ds game. I lost it during a move a few years ago, but couldn't remember what game it was- you were right that it got burned into my 2009 brain as a kid because I'd spent a long time trying to find it. Really good video!
As a kid I used to play a lot like A LOT the LPS pc version and it was so fun, it opened my eyes to open world games, i still have the game and i really want to play it again lol
Theres another moble game for lps inless i had a fever dream about it but yah its different to others, its the hotel and you unlock the levels over time and do other things with it
Yes!!! You’re not dreaming it’s called littlest pet shop your world and came out in 2014 :)
3:26 I HAD THIS PLUG N PLAY QHEN I WAS A KID. I LOVED IT SO MUCH. WE STILL HAVE THE CONTROLLER BUT THE CABLE WAS CUT OFF,,, I WANNA BUY ANOTHER ONE AND PLAY IT AGAIN.
For some reason I have ALL of the big star DS games and I 100% ALL THREE OF THEM
After rewatching this I think I should do it again my ds still works after all
SHUNKS DREAM JELLY GAVE YOU A SHOUT OUT
1:28 the third one is definitely not from the same era as the other two. it uses assets and the logo from the 2012 cartoon. so it would have to be from 2012 at the earliest
I gotta say the inFamous title sliding across the screen for like 12 frames while a clip of the bee movie plays and Shunks talks about Wii games hit me with a lot of unexpected whiplash
I got genuinely sad hearing that the LPS Mobile game no longer exists lol
Gameloft mobile games were a suprisingly big part of my childhood
If we do get a new LPS show, I want them to retool and reboot the 2012 Show. It can be after a timeskip or just a reboot
There was a flash LPS game i played as a child in the early 2000s, It was a pet salon game and I don't believe you mentioned it but it was a staple to my childhood along with poly pocket.
I had the plug and play, friends on the ds, and purple team, I remember them all so vividly lol, I played the heck out of purple team man, that monkey minigame I remember went on forever. Those animations are all so charming to me
i had purple team as well! and yeah that monkey game was AWESOME! actually i still have the game, haven't played it in ages though
I had an LSPO account, LPS Biggest Adventure, and the Wii versions of LPS 2008 and LPS friends
Also that stupid Light game from Friends was a nightmare 😭
22:23 jokes on you that song has lived rent free in my head for years
I had both the Plug-n-Play and Wii version of LPS Friends as a kid! loved them both to death honestly, Friends really scratched my brain just right when I was like 10
I had the "circumcised" version of the virtual pet!! The horse one!! I do not think it was as loud. I can't remember a lot which is not unusual for me as I have memory problems but I do remember getting to walk the horse and go shopping. I also had the DS version of the Wii game. I think Winter? It was really cute. I liked all the different lands and dressing them up and stuff.
There was a virtual world ala Webkinz from around the same time as well. You needed a plush with a code. I have no idea if any of it from it was archived.
the NOSTOLGIA i just got from those plug and play clips 😭😭😭❤❤❤
I was shaking and gripping my seat waiting for lps friends I LOVE THAT GAME SO MUCH!!!! Hearing the title song got me running around like an animal in its enclosure
i used to be OBSESSED with the lps plug and play game, especially the basketball minigame lmao
They actually did do another LPS show, Littlest Pet Shop: World of Our Own, it ran for 1 season but it was definitely a step up in quality and the designs actually looked good!
I have the blue tamagotchi, but a dog version. It has tons of games but bc of the lack of buttons it’s really hard to get around. There is a big map and plenty of activities. It needs more than just “change option” and “select”.
Omg I had the Biggest Adventure plug-and-play. Feels like a fever dream. I never thought I'd see it again
The tv plug in game my grandma got my for Christmas and kept it at her house to play when I was over with a cold or being watched when my mom was at work. So nostalgic to see it again
for the longest time I hear about lps but never really knew what it was and now not only has this video made me understand the whole premise but it also made me unlock some core memories because I remember being obsesses as hell with the 2012 lps show and that one game, I genuinely did not remember what the hell they were called so thank you for this video, you've just made me remember my childhood a bit more lol
I gotta admit I found NOTHING about LPS online, and I thought I made it up as a fever dream because of it lmaoo
The biggest adventure game brought back so much nostalgia I've been looking for that game forever 😭
I had the plug n play and tamogatchi. i was scared it wouldn't be on here. I'm sorry I doubted you, Shunks. So excited to see they were first. So nostalgic to see footage from the plug n' after so long. So happy for this video!
i still have the gameloft game on my phone, oh how happy it made me. one of my core memories was being 6, grinding to get a bunny rabbit animal thing while sitting on the couch in the living room with my dad coming home and my mom making macaroni. IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY
I played lps and lps:friends on the my ds religiously as a child
The ost is ingrained into my mind
I FORGOT ABOUT THE DAY PLANNER! Also love plug and play games! Had 2 of the dream life series
the 90’s Littlest pet shop cartoon was lovely btw it was very standard toon-ish 90’s humor and episode format. I remember watching the episodes 5 years back and it held up decently .
I used to play the MLP and LPS Gameloft games all the time. I spent more time on the MLP one, but I do get very nostalgic when I see the LPS one. It was a simple time then. 😅
I had the plug and play game, and for some reason mine was in black and white exclusively, so let's say I was surprised and felt betrayed when I learnt this game actually has COLORS!
Anyways I was absolutely obsessed with it, I would play it everyday. The day the cable got damaged beyond repair was the worst thing to ever happen to child me
I was also VERY obsessed with the Gameloft one it was insane
the amount of memories i got flushing back at me from the Littlest Pet Shop friends city ds version or whatever is insane, i LIVED that game as a kid, tried starting it up again but cant get it to work on my ds anymore tho, crying
Had the winter and city games on ds, but I remember there were also a web game where you had to buy plushies to get a code to get the plush character ingame. Had probably 6 of those plushies. Haven’t seen anyone play it online but I remember it was quite good?
And the tamagotchis were PEAK, I had the husky and remember at 6-8 hanging it on my keychain and bringing it to school where a bunch of other kids also brought theirs. The amount of color, pets and designs were so fun. We used to connect them together do something ingame which I don’t remember what was.
I grew up with the LPS wii game but mostly played it on pc aswell. And god i loved it so much. Getting new pets was like the most exciting part. Each pet gets their own little cutscene of arriving with the train and seeing their animations while running, the sounds they make and how they look with accesories was so fun.
The congo line and circle formation as they talk with eachother was always so adorable though i did always find it dissapointing that you can't join those. But you can jam at the radio with a group of them.
I also had a dream once about a brand new area lol.
I had the little tamagotchi game! It broke and I was stuck on one screen, little me was so sad. I also had 3 of the DS games.
The plug and play section scared me so bad I thought I had dreamed it all up 😭😭 also the seahorse was my favorite so I was pissed I couldn’t play more games with it
i remember staying up super late at a sleepover with my friends playing their LPS game to blue ribbon the skyline game, crouched over the screen and DS plugged into the wall. good times.
NO WAIT i had city friends on the ds as a kid and entirely forgot about it... i still love the character models
I do have 4 compilation DVDs of the 2012 series. They used to come in white cases (which was the standard for Shout! Factory Kids releases). but I gave them purple cases that I get from Barney DVDs.
28:45 this game was so important to little me. I played it NON STOP! 🥹
Yes it was literally my addiction when I was a little bean
Seeing the city builder game was mad. I played that religiously as a little kid its so nostalgic to me i just want to go back and play it again.
oh my god i remember being like no older than 10? probably less, and my dad getting me that pig tomodachi game on a carride to keep me entertained because it was cheap and i have so much nostalgia for it, im extremely tempted to buy one just to relive it but its so expensive. I remember you could travel across the ocean with a boat and look at some leaves falling and i thought the music was so pretty as a kid. i remember it gave me kinda weirdly liminal vibes but i still loved it
I owned the LPS plug-n-play and it was one of my favorite things ever. I LOVED it. Played it until its death.
I'm that old to remember the LPS 90s cartoon, and yes, it aired in the UK, I also had the DS game of LPS
oh my god seeing the plug-n-play game and knockoff tamagotchi brought waves on nostalgia crashing down on me. I'm surprised you didn't add a section in for LPS VIP, LPSO's predecessor
I had the plug and play game growing up! I was absolitely obsessed with it
omg a new memory unlocked, I loved the lps android game such fun memories
I swear I had like 7 of those tomogachi toys. I'm pretty sure there is also a feature where you can have your pets play with each other by connecting them. They were great
I wish I still had the LPS Tamagotchi game. Mine had a pig.
10:22 I know i had this but the music from the lps tamagotchi is giving me flashbacks so i mustve had that too i guess, i was obsessed
I LOVED the plug and play lps game it was my favorite game for years as a kid. Also the tamagotchi tendrils were absolutely chewed on
Came here for Littlest Pet Shop Friends for the Wii. I didn't really have the toys or anything else as a kid, but I did have that game and was obsessed with it (I think I still have it in my box of Wii games)
I had 2 Tamagotchi ones!! Believe I had a hamster and a cat one. I adored them so much, I liked that there was more to it than the Official Tamagotchis, where you sat around staring at your Tamagotchi waiting for it to need something.
I grew up owning Biggest Pets 3 with the horse and dog, and also had the Wii game as well! I remember playing it for hours just to beat the game, and collect everything in it. It brings back so many memories to think about, and with how happy it made me as a child!
