#Tamagotchi Osutchi and Mesutchi have a pair of characters named Pyonchitchi and Pyonkotchi which are male and female versions of the same idea (like most of the Osu/Mesu character roster) and they reappeared in Tamagotchi Connection, with Pyonchitchi appearing in V2 and V4 and Pyonkotchi appearing in V3 and V4.
V2 overall feels kind of funky and less refined than V3, and I feel like comparing these two characters' sprites emphasizes that; with many of Pyonchitchi's sprites just being slightly modified versions of the idle sprite.
It's really funny to me that V4 has both of these characters but they both just use their V2 and V3 graphics so these characters that originally matched no longer do and one has much better animations than the other.
A tiny wee babba with its tiny wee poop. Running a vintage V3 Connection for funsies before the 20th Anniversary shells come out in July! #Tamagotchi#VirtualPet#RetroGaming

Je suis un touche-à-tout, de la créa fait main à du numérique, en passant par du dév ...... mais je suis moyen dans tout ahah toutes les secondes j'ai une nouvelle obsession :blob_rave:
J'aime collectionner des trucs selon mes envies mensuelles : carte pokémon pâte à modeler, tamagotchis, comics ..... :blob_melt:
Sur Twitch je partage des moments de gamiiing, de la création (3D, dessin, jeux video) et maybe de l'ASMR :meow_sip_smile:
L'objectif c'est de divertir, me connecter avec de nouvelles personnes (parceque IRL j'suis très mauvais à ça) et améliorer mes skills

Unfortunately not all egg shaped objects fit in trays meant for storing real eggs, but it would be really funny and silly if this worked. It DOES work pretty well for the nanos!!
Not pictured: my two #tamagotchipix because those will definitely not fit. #Tamagotchi
Getting closer and closer to finishing out my #Tamagotchi Osutchi/Mesutchi run. These are the "best" characters you can get, and you have to take good care through three generations of characters to get here. From here I guess I'll just not marry them and then let them get old (which can only happen with these characters) and that'll be as far as I can go. And then I'll focus more on Tamagotchis that are not a >1 month time investment haha.
I've acquired the senior characters and now I can say I ran the #Tamagotchi Osutchi/Mesutchi all the way through! I guess at this point it's a matter of time until either the batteries die or the characters die and then I'm taking the batteries out.
Just had my Osutchi/Mesutchi Tamagotchis mate again, which means I can start the fourth and last generation soon ("TMP4"). TMP4 adults can grow old if you take good care of them and don't mate them, so I think I'll go for that, and consider it the "good ending" of Osutchi/Mesutchi.
And then I can be free of playing that flag minigame multiple times per day. It's barely a game; you just watch something alternate twice a second and press a button while the alternating thing is in the right state.
I think that raising the Osutchi and Mesutchi Tamagotchis through all four generations is a bit less fun than I imagined when I started, because the gameplay is really minimal, and after a whole month of doing the same stuff (and playing the not-fun flag minigame multiple times per day because it also punishes for letting the weight get too high, so I don't use snacks to raise happiness) I'm still only in the middle of the third generation and the novelty has worn off haha.
Fortunately my favorite characters on the device are in the first generation, so if I want I can just go get them without much trouble! But they're also easy to get on the much better Connection V4... #tamagotchi
is there a #Tamagotchi community on the fediverse? I'm trying to help my partner repair their Gen 2 with Connection and we're running into an issue with the battery terminal and I'd love some help/advice for how to make the retention bracket more stable since it's kind of flattened with time and doesnt put adequate pressure on the battery proper

Six Tamagotchis 😎
I was going to try and have my two V3s marry (so all six could have a baby on-screen since I thought that'd be funny) but they're not old enough to yet. I can watch them kiss a whole lot though.
I got Pyonkotchi and Pyonchitchi on the original devices they appeared on! On here (Osutchi and Mesutchi) you get them for perfect care in the first generation. I'm glad I was able to accomplish that, though it's pretty easy when you pause them when you can't pay attention to them. #tamagotchi
I'm working on trying to get my virtual pet thing running on that 128x64 LCD screen I bought and it's been super annoying because the build process is really complicated, which makes it worse when I have to go in and fix stuff because of course the example code doesn't work out of the box.
I got it all working!! It's really cool to see my code working and displaying on a real low resolution monochrome LCD screen. Turns out the random number generator I was using (PCG) was making it crash somehow, in a delayed way that still let it show one frame??? I don't feel like tracking that down right now so I'm gonna settle for rand() in the meantime.
I got batteries so I'm trying out #Tamagotchi Osutchi and Mesutchi. I really like how the screen looks and it's really high contrast! I wish all the beeps weren't the same pitch since that's a little grating but I don't mind too much.
It'd be fun to go all the way through the different generations; I like having a slow sense of progression in a virtual pet!
It's fun to have virtual pets running during work and having something to peek at as I do other things. I'm trying these four currently. I'd like to use my V3s some more but I'm not ready to marry those off just yet (maybe I will be after I get my favorite character on my own device?)
