I'm that one guy who didn't grow out of the virtual pets phase unlike everyone else and I still collect them to this day. I still use my Pokewalker and just an hour ago I bought both the Hello Kitty Tamogatchis for my wife.
I got the HK nano also. I got the red one at Walmart a couple weeks ago. I didn't grow out of the phase either, and I'm also a collector. I don't have a Pokewalker though, I have a Tamawalkie, which is also a pedometer. I wear it on the waistband of my jeans at work. (Jan Griffiths).
Giga Pets actually made a comeback and they are still making them now. They are being made by the original makers just not distributed by Tiger Electronics. So far they have a remake of the puppy, a remake of the dino, a newly introduced unicorn, a 2 in 1 kitty which has the new Star Cat and the vintage 90's Compu Kitty programmed in. As well as the newly remade Floppy Frog. They also have Troll giga pets and pixies that have multiple stages of evolution and different activities. And coming soon they have yet another new Giga Pet being released. No name has been revealed yet.
I had so many Tamas when I was a kid, and I never stopped collecting them! I hope more people come to enjoy them! A broader fanbase could really help revolutionize the field!
Actually, the “watch” part of “Tamagotchi” isn’t entirely vestigial. Tamagotchi are still considered pocket watches, since the time can be set and displayed with the push of a button. And they’re no cheap digital watches either - each one has a crystal quartz oscillator inside to ensure it never loses its rhythm.
YES! DOGZ! I KNEW IT!!! I LOVE DOGZ!! OMG I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BROUGHT IT UP!!!! I wish you brought up the 101 Dalmatians Giga pet they made. I have two of those. Also Neopets had their own too.
Three points here i would like to make: 1. Why would a turtle not be allowed on vacation? 2. In the future,we are going to become v-pets for aliens. And most importantly 3. *i want a reptar v-pet*
My first tamagotchi was a Rakuraku Dinokun, back in 1996/7. I wasn't even aware of this until my aunt gave me one as a random gift. A few month later I started to see the bootleg ones selling on the streets for way less money.
I remember getting a Tamagotchi. Personally, I'm not a fan of the virtual pets (always keeps me awake at night, keeps dying despite the fact that I'm trying to breed them AND took good care of them), but I love the Nintendo DS games in which you help Tamagotchi characters open shops (including a sushi shop, a garage shop, a dentist's office, and a hospital). And I'm a big fan of Digimon, but I wasn't aware of the virtual pets until my high school years (currently playing Digimon ReArise on my phone).
I love Crunchyroll, and I'm so excited to have our website and Discord featured! Thank you so much for spreading the vpet gospel. You are truly doing the lord's work.
Oh man I remember in elementary school some kids would pay other kids to baby sit their tamagochi (like a quarter or a buck a day) so they could play instead on recess. So we bad guys and gals with like a tamagochi on each finger, or more lol.
I love that giga pet did random or pop icons of the time such as yoda/babe/batman. The thought of having your favorite character in ur pocket at all times dream come true. Now remake them where we’re can customize them and battle! And my life is complete
My mother use to take care of my Tamagotchi👾when I went to school...👌🏼💯✔️ I wasn't allowed to take it to school with me because she knew it would get me into trouble...💁🏻
Recently copped the tanjiro Tamagotchi and love it. Had one before when I was younger, it was so nice to get one again! Also I remember my sister was obsessed with the DS game and the movie lol, she really loved Tamagotchi's and got me into them!
I'm a tamagotchi collector so I have about 18 tamagotchies at the moment and I wish I gotten into this hobby earlier. Anyways I'm part of the collectors discord for tamatown and I was not expecting it to make an appearance
Your kitty is adorables! I had a Tamagotchi as a kid and loved playing with it but was also awful about keeping them alive. Now thankfully i have kitties who are very spoiled and healthy. I'm surprised they still have a following when you can get the same thing as a download on your phone instantly and with better graphics.
I remember so much about These virtual pets. I had the original tamagotchi way back when. Also there was another online virtual dog one I remember online. Then also the ones other than Dogz and Catz you could download like movie tie in pets. Think I had Crickie from Mulan if I remember correctly. Anyways I still have a few of them. Wished I had though my Rancor and my Gigantic pet t-Rex. Though Digimon later had a very long digital pet line, I still love the original through the 3rd gen one. Right now though I have two original virtual pets. The pikachu one and somewhere I have the digimon version 5 (the one with the kids spirit evolving). I also bought the anniversary digimon original, gen 1 Tamagotchi, gen 3 tamagotchi, and gutetama (which is really fun to play with). I have though not had much time to play them as I use to, but from time to time I pop in a battery and have fun with them. It’s fun to go down memory lane with these as I was growing up.
Tamagotchi fans! Will you help me get Bandai Namco to dub the rest of the Tamagotchi anime series so far from episode 27 to episode 271 aka episode 50 of Go-Go Tamagotchi in English? Help a fellow Tamagotchi fan out.
I think TPCi can stand not only to bring back its pokemon virtual pet format, but it can also have the virtual pet versions compatible with Pokemon Home so they can be transferred to and from it, etc.
Neopets community is still thriving! Another wave of people regained access to their accounts after quarantine started. It's been a lively year, online that is
I had the one that you could raise monsters, connect and fight with others. But we were poor so by the time I got one on sale, nobody was playing with them anymore....
I always wanted the original Digimon. Unfortunately they got sold out and were changed to a digivice type. That's why I was able to get a Pokémon pikachu which I still have.
I never had one when i was a kid and now i just ordered 2 digimon on Amazon. 1 for me and 1 for my daughter so we can have fun every once in a while battling them
It's ironic that this video was uploaded not even a week after I got a special Pac Man Tamagotchi for the purpose of not opening and just displaying as an interesting piece of Pac Man (and Tamagotchi) history. (By the way, it's pretty funny too because I'm thinking of buying a second one for the purpose of, well, opening it up and having a little digital friend that grows up with Pac Man.)
Some nano tamagotchis don't poop. The newer Pac-Man and Demon Slayers are 2 examples. They are easy and fun to play. I even take them to work, and play them on breaks, and the convenience of the clock is great. Our breaks are 10 minutes long, and I know when it's time to return to work. I've had tamas since 1997, and I'm a collector. I have many different versions, in English and Japanese. I have over 100 different tamas, but typically run only 2 at a time. I still have my originals from 1997, and they work fine. I store them in plastic totes in our safe. (Jan Griffiths).
I loved my digimon and tamagotchi, I also got a knock off one from a garage sale, I really loved my Tamagotchi and digimon but I kinda forgot about my knockoff one lmao
This is interesting I just bought a Tanjiro virtual pet, I never knew how stressful it can be to make sure they're entertained, played with, fed, watered EVERYTHING! But I feel like a proud mom hehehe. And I'm buying the Nezuko one next.
I recently saw a Digimon 20th anniversary in my local gamestop and I thought reeeeally hard about getting it, but I'm a grown ass adult with a full time job so it's tougher now than when I owned one in 1998...
If you adjust the time or take the battery out you can have it so they dont go off durring work. Sadly they didnt put the freezer function on the ver. 20ths.
I have a Digimon from Amazon. I love it! I keep it in my car cup and make sure I don't spill poop when driving up and down the mountain in my crappy Toyota.
I wish the Tamagotchi Company would Remake the Tamagotchi Angel with a Color Screen and Light up Screen. I really miss my Original Tamagotchi Angel, I had a Pink one and I think I lost it at my Hospital years ago now.
I already have a virtual pet. It's my phones actually. I mean by companion you carry around each and every day with you. It's sad to say that they're probably my best friends but I can't help it 🥺
Wow this guy is the first one I've seen to admit the pun might be about Egg, or Friend, or Watch. I'd like to think Tamagotchi creators like to keep it secret lol.
I'm that one guy who didn't grow out of the virtual pets phase unlike everyone else and I still collect them to this day. I still use my Pokewalker and just an hour ago I bought both the Hello Kitty Tamogatchis for my wife.

Me but with Digimon V-pets.
"Pets...emotionally support you..."
I heartily agree with the example used at 0:06
Not me wanting a kyubey tama
recently revealed that Digimon has a new watch-style device that monitors your health, that's kinda neat.
I got it, it’s pretty easy to take care of if you have the room on your wrist for another watch.
Well thing is i wanted to preorder but the watch are japanese but instructions are English. Hm

You could say, it's the *inside* that counts
Literally got my Digimon pendulum version 20th and Digimon x in my pocket right now
Got the Dragon Quest slime arukundesu vpet coming on Friday too
I forgot that they had like the entire DS crew as Tamagotchis!...now I want one
I have one---the aqua with the checkerboard front. It's fun. (Jan Griffiths).
Then the Vital Bracelet became a thing, and we've come full circle.
YES! DOGZ! I KNEW IT!!! I LOVE DOGZ!! OMG I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BROUGHT IT UP!!!!
I wish you brought up the 101 Dalmatians Giga pet they made. I have two of those. Also Neopets had their own too.
3:35 well 25 years later they would revive that idea with the "Vital Bracelet Digital Monster" as well as the "Tamagotchi Smart".
Three points here i would like to make: 1. Why would a turtle not be allowed on vacation? 2. In the future,we are going to become v-pets for aliens. And most importantly 3. *i want a reptar v-pet*
I'm glad I was able to get a digimon version 20th vpet and I think I remember neopets and giga pets as a kid
Because of this video,. I ended up preordering the Evangelion tamagotchis.
I dident know they had them, I instantly looked it up on Amazon 😂
I'm really tempted....
I got a demon slayer tamagotchi lol
My first tamagotchi was a Rakuraku Dinokun, back in 1996/7. I wasn't even aware of this until my aunt gave me one as a random gift. A few month later I started to see the bootleg ones selling on the streets for way less money.
The timing of this video is uncanny! 😯 I got my Tamagotchi in 2004 and decided to revive this this week just for fun. Thanks for the recap!

REAL GAMER MOMENT
That sounds vaugely familar oddly enough lol
Our school had this too, although i never had the money to get other kids to baby sit mine. My poor Tamagochi died so many times.
@@AngelavengerL My parents didn't want to buy us tamagotchi. I did have the digimon virtual pets, so that was ok for some reason. That died a lot.
I love that giga pet did random or pop icons of the time such as yoda/babe/batman. The thought of having your favorite character in ur pocket at all times dream come true. Now remake them where we’re can customize them and battle! And my life is complete
I remember wanting one when I was little but ended up getting an actual dog which was nice at the time.
I have Gigapets, Digimon, and other off-brand virtual pets as well as tamas in my collection. They're all fun in their own right. (Jan Griffiths).

They're releasing a watch version of tamagotchi next month in Japan! The dream becoming reality

Is not. xD
Depending on how old it has been since you logged in, it mightve been deleted.

Omg! I remember Dogz! 😍 My brother and I played it a lot when we were young! ❤ what a fun bit of nostalgia 😊
I had ALL of these as a kid. The more the better. This resulted in me having 4 cats, 2 dogs and 0 children. Bliss.
I hear you. All pets, no kids. Bliss indeed. (Jan Griffiths).

I need one of those Tim-agotchi's
I always wanted the original Digimon. Unfortunately they got sold out and were changed to a digivice type. That's why I was able to get a Pokémon pikachu which I still have.
You can get something very close to the OG Digimon v-pet on amazon now
Nana is adorable 🥺🥺🥺
I never had one when i was a kid and now i just ordered 2 digimon on Amazon. 1 for me and 1 for my daughter so we can have fun every once in a while battling them

Yay! Nana is back.

damn its like they primed my generation for gachas...
I had a Nanopet.... it was the same thing as a tamogatchi, but the egg was kinda bigger

I'm stuck on buying the two what one do you like better?
I spent $200 on tamagotchis this year alone lol
I love V-Pets and still collect them
Man those Yokoi guys were portable devices visioners
This is interesting I just bought a Tanjiro virtual pet, I never knew how stressful it can be to make sure they're entertained, played with, fed, watered EVERYTHING! But I feel like a proud mom hehehe. And I'm buying the Nezuko one next.
i never had one of these but this legit inspired me to get one

I had a the littlest petshop virtual pet. it was a cute little dog and even had a little figure attached to it of the dog.
Neopets i remember doing that on the pc and there were virtual hand held ones
Yes nana is very cute
HECK YEAH SHE IS VERRY CUTE
i had a furby, does that count ?
OMG I USED TO PLAY DOGZ! forgot it existed till now !😂😂😂

10/10 COMMENT
Now I really want a tamagotchi but where do you get one?
Amazon,Ebay, bandai premium,
I thought “Dogz” was the coolest freaking game ever. What a throwback.
i literally just downloaded a Touch Bar pet a few days ago and its the perfect distraction from online classes
i just got the the tanjirotchi tamagotchi, i love it
Why is Nezuko in a virtual game system?
So there is apps, 1000s of games on phone called my talking (blank) and they are
currently have 7 tamagotchis running... lol. been into v pets since I got my pocket pikachu!
Omg I played dogz and babies the baby one was my favorite omg I was addicted, I kept annoying the baby 😂
I'll probably pick one up since I can't handle the pain and sadness of losing a pet anymore
Keychain pets are love.
Keychain pets are life.

Gosh when I was a kid my giga pet kept dying. My dad thought it was broken and exchanged a few times xD
nana is a cutie
thank you vaporwave shinji
I think Nana is definitely a cutie!
THANK YOU FOR THINKING THIS
I remember reading about a pokemon tomogachi that was supposed to come out a couple years back. I wonder what happened to that
An eevee tamagotchi nano came out in 2019 if that's the one you're thinking of?
@@Kitty_Brutality yes! that was it. i've been waiting for it to come to the states but have only seen it on ebay
I used to play dogz on my grandpas computer
every time you got to sleep, your past self dies and your new self wakes
I still have my Salem Giga pet some 20 years later.
so Pokémon and Digimon both had:
video games
a trading card game
a anime
V-pets
anime movies

Neopets!

I was sad when my digimon dies I hope my real dogs never die I’ll cry forever if that happens
SMALL SOLDIERS AND TAMAGOTCHI???!!!! DREAMS DO COME TRUE 🤣
