F.A.Q.

On this page, I'll include the Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.) of the Tamagotchi world .

I'll try to make my instructions easy to scan, but also as specific as possible.

Purchasing and Locating Tamagotchi:

Q. When will Tamagotchi Connection be released in my area / city / country?
I live in the United States so I don't have any real resource to find out when Tamagotchi will be released in your area or country. Some ways you might be able to find this information out are:

  1. Bandai's website: Tamagotchi.com or Bandai.com
  2. News resources: news.google.com or news.yahoo.com
  3. Call around to local toy stores and ask when they are expecting shipments.
  4. Look through the local newspaper for sales ads or other information.
  5. Ask for help on the Tamagotchi Chat board and there maybe someone else who lives in your area that may have the information.

 



Q. Where can I buy Tamagotchi Connection in my area / city / country?
A. Tamagotchi Connection, Plus and Connexion have already been released in Japan and parts of Europe. They were released in the United States on August 15, 2004.

I live in the United States so I don't have any real resource to find out when Tamagotchi Connection will be sold in your area or country.

The typical places to look would be:

  1. Toy stores, specifically large chains.
  2. Toys 'R Us, Wal*Mart and Target have been known to carry Tamagotchi and these places have been the resource for many people in finding Tamagotchi Connection.
  3. Amazon.com has them / will have them soon to order online.
  4. If you are desperate you can try ebay.com. You may pay a little higher price, plus you have to pay for shipping. But you also get a chance at the different versions (Connection, Connexion and Plus).

Some ways you might be able to find this information out are:

  1. Bandai's website: Tamagotchi.com or Bandai.com
  2. News resources: news.google.com or news.yahoo.com
  3. Call around to local toy stores and ask when they are expecting shipments.
  4. Look through the local newspaper for sales ads or other information.
  5. Ask for help on the Tamagotchi Chat board and there maybe someone else who lives in your area that may have the information.

 



Q. How do I know if I have a fake Tamagotchi.
An entire thread of information has been created about this on the Tamagotchi chat board.

Q. How do I get *this* character?
A. At this time I do not have any specific strategies on getting specific characters. Connection is new to me as well. Once I have played more and experienced the ideas better, I will post my theories on how to get each of the characters.



Q. When will I get an adult character?
A. I have not timed this myself, but I have heard from many resources that it takes 72 hours and on the 7th day your Tama will change into an adult character.



Q. What times does the Matchmaker / Mrs. Busybody come?
A. I have been told the times are: 10am, 3pm and 7pm.

A. With your character showing and no icons selected do the following:

  1. Press the A and C buttons at the same time.
  2. An option menu will come onto the screen.
  3. Select on or off depending on your preferences.
  4. Repeat to turn the sound back on or off.

 



Q. My Tamagotchi Connection was dancing and singing!? Is this normal?
A. Yes! All Tamagotchi characters do more then just pace on the screen on Tamagotchi Connection. Each character has different actions and special animations.

 



Q. When do I use Time Out / Discipline?
A. Use this when:

  1. The Tama beeps and the attention light turns on.
  2. The Tama is doing his usual thing on the screen and doesn't look upset or anything.
  3. When the Tama refuses to play or eat even when it's hungry or unhappy.

And it seems that #3 doesn't always apply.



Q. When do I Praise?
A. Use this when:

  1. The Tama beeps and the attention light turns on.
  2. The Tama has its back to you and looks angry or upset.
  3. When the Tama refuses to play or eat even when it'd hungry or unhappy.

And it seems that #3 doesn't always apply.

 



Q. When can my Tamagotchi have Tamababies?
A. Your Tamagotchi will know when it's time, you don't have to do anything special. Of course if you want your Tamagotchi to have Tamababies with another Tama via connecting, you'll need to connect them often. Your Tamagotchi is ready to have Tamababies:

  1. When your Tamagotchi is an adult character.
  2. When you have 5 hearts with a connected Tamagotchi (both have to be adults).
  3. Or when the Matchmaker comes to find your Tamagotchi a mate.

 



Q. Do I have to have two Tamagotchi to get Tamababies?
A. Absolutely not! If you don't want to buy a second Tamagotchi Connection and you don't know anyone with a Connection, you can simply keep raising your Tamagotchi and Mrs. Busybody will always find someone for your Tamagotchi to help keep the generations going.

 



Q. Can a Connection communicate with a Connexion or a Plus Tamagotchi version?
A. Yes they can.

Q. Can a Connection have Tamababies with a Connexion or a Plus Tamagotchi version?
A. Yes they can.
