Characters / Tamagotchi

The characters of the Tamagotchi series. This character sheet covers tropes displayed by the characters not just in the toys, but throughout the entire franchise.

Tropes shared across most or all of the characters

• Alien Animals: Many Tamagotchi characters that resemble Earth species (such as Pochitchi, who resembles a dog) can be mistaken for their Earth counterparts.
• Animate Inanimate Object: A lot of the Tamagotchi characters also fall under this, such as Crackertchi (a party cracker), Yakantchi (a tea kettle), Mousetchi (a computer mouse), Belltchi (a bell), and Shelltchi (a clam shell).
• Anthropomorphic Food: Several Tamagotchi characters resemble Earth food, including mochi, hamburgers, acorns, and more.
• Bizarre Alien Biology: Tamagotchis come in all weird shapes and forms, from round balls, to being a talking wine glass, to being a washiki toilet with a giant poo and then an actual sentient giant wad of poo. However, they all eat, communicate, marry and produce offspring with no trouble at all.
• Black Bead Eyes: Several characters, mostly the ones introduced in the original 90's toys.
• Blush Sticker: Quite a few characters have permanent blush stickers.
• Cast Herd: Tamagotchis are broken up into several subspecies: angels, devils, bugs (Mushitchi), fish (Sakanatchi), Akai Tamagotchi, Ura Tamagotchi, My Tamas, Tama Pets, and living entities (Gaiatchi).
• Cheated Angle: Tamagotchi with beaks or muzzles tend to be drawn "Picasso style" when seen from the side so that the shape of the beak remains the same.
• Descriptively-Named Species: The "outsiders naming them" variety; Professor Banzo and Mikachu named each species as they discovered them, naming them after Earth culture and objects. After returning to their planet, the Tamagotchis adapted the naming conventions and language.
• Dub Name Change: Some characters' names are changed when the toys are translated. Some of them are simple translations (for example, "Futagotenshi" becomes "Twin Angels"), while others are for censorship (for example, "Bombtchi" became "Bakutchi").
• Fantastic Naming Convention: All the Tamagotchi species end in "tchi". Angels, Deviltchi, Akai Tamagotchis, and Ura Tamagotchis have their own conventions as well.
• Four-Temperament Ensemble:
  • Sanguine - Kuchipatchi
  • Choleric - Memetchi
  • Melancholic - Lovelitchi
  • Phlegmatic - Mametchi.
• Freudian Trio: The main characters (besides Lovelitchi)
  • Mametchi is the Superego, he is easily the most intelligent of the group and is nice to most people he meets.
  • Memetchi is the Id, she is the most emotional of the group and tends to be a crybaby. (Ego sometimes).
  • Kuchipatchi is the Ego, he is typically nice and friendly, but he has many Cloudcuckoolander moments. (Id sometimes).
• Fingerless Hands: Most Tamagotchis have stubby hands, though they will spontaneously produce visible fingers in certain cases to perform specific actions (such as giving a thumbs up, for example).
• Gender Equals Breed: The Mesutchi and Osutchi played this straight, with only the baby and child stage characters looking alike. In the 2000-era toys, it's primarily used for the babies, but later versions made some gender-neutral breeds into gender-exclusive. For example, Mametchi was neutral from V1 through V3, but exclusively male from the Entama/V4 onward.
• Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action: Tamagotchi marriage can result in this.
• Innocent Aliens: The majority of Tamagotchi breeds are friendly, and at worst nuisances that can't do much harm. Their primary interest in Earth is to learn about it and befriend humanity, and only originally came to it in the first place to seek refuge from their intoxicated planet.
• Humanoid Aliens: Initially, Tamagotchis weren't very human with minor exceptions. But more human-like Tamagotchi species have appeared since they visited Earth.
• The Noseless: While there are certain Tamagotchis who have visible noses, they're a minority compared to the characters who don't have visible noses.
• Only One Name: Most characters. There is at least one exception, though (Makiko, for some reason, has an actual human name - Madeleine Kirie Dotchine).
• Patchwork Kids: The primary gimmick of the Tamagotchi m!x and Tamagotchi On, where if you marry your Tamagotchi with another, it will have a child with a random mixture of features from both of its parents (e.g. it could have the body of its mother and the facial features of its father). The combination of traits becomes more random with each generation.
• Plant Aliens: Some Tamagotchi are based on plants, with Kusatchi (a flower Tamagotchi in a flower pot) as one of the earliest examples.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter:
  • Most modern characters tend to have massive heads and big eyes, stubby limbs, and other features that give them overall adorable appearances.
  • On the original virtual pets, how cute the Tamagotchi became was determined by how well they were cared for; severely neglecting a Tamagotchi would result in one that was ugly and had a short life span.
• Secret Character: A number of releases contain these, often requiring to raise the Tamagotchi in unusual ways to obtain them. Others require using rare items, feeding certain foods, or connecting to other Tamagotchis.
• Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome: Chamametchi, Kikitchi, and several other teen characters were popular enough with the target demographic that Bandai bumped them up to adults, so that the kids could play with the character longer. Though now this means Chamametchi, who is a very young girl who always has her panties showing, can marry and have children.
• Talking Poo: Lucky Unchi-kun and Super Unchi-kun.
• Temporary Online Content: Several characters were only available to raise or marry:
  • On the Entama and Uratama, the special dating cards necessary to raise the secret Hatena and Bikkuri characters were only available through an arcade game. Thankfully, third party software exists to generate the codes needed to unlock them.
  • Dreamitchi and Dazzilitchi, the two secret characters of the Music Star, were only available to players who buy their respective evolution items from the Music Star site, which is no longer online.
  • The Tamagotchi m!x and Meets have marriage partners that are exclusive to stations, which are scattered around various stores in Japan and cycle through different characters depending on the season. The Meets/On also features special marriage partners that are exclusive to the tie-in app, which change every month.
• Theme Naming: Most characters have names ending in "-tchi".
• Trademark Favorite Food: On modern versions, many characters have food likes and dislikes. For example, Kuchipatchi's favorite food on the Version 2 is corn.
• Two Guys and a Girl: Before Lovelitchi became represented as a mascot of the series, the group of mascots had Mametchi and Kuchipatchi as the two guys and Memetchi as the girl.
• Verbal Tic: A number of character punctuate sentences with one, so much as that there's a page for them.

Main Characters

Mametchi

Debut: Tamagotchi Generation 1 (1996)

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (JP), Stephanie Sheh (EN [Let's Go! Tamagotchi and Tamagotchi: The Movie]), Sean Morse (EN [the Tamagotchi TV show]), Erica Mendez (EN [Tamagotchi Friends])

One of the first characters introduced and the protagonist of the anime series. Mametchi is a brilliant, friendly Tamagotchi that lives in Mame City with his parents and little sister. He loves science and is interested in robotics.

---

• Always Someone Better: Kuromametchi is more charismatic and charming, while Righttchi is better at robotics.
• Badass Adorable: He's helped save the Tamagotchi Planet many times, and is incredibly cute.
• Big Brother Instinct: Was saving his little sister's life even before she hatched.
• Big Brother Mentor: To his little sister, Chamametchi, who idolizes him.
• Break the Cutie: Nearly the entirety of the first season of Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream is this. He's stuck living in an unfamiliar city with a mentor that doesn't care about him, and is attending a school where he finds there are students far more advanced in robotics than him. He handles it pretty well until he loses the tea robot competition to Righttchi. An argument with Ikaritchi later that night finally breaks him to the point where he tries to run away home to Tamagotchi Town.
• Breakout Character: Went from just one face within hundreds of characters to becoming the series mascot.
• Calling the Old Man Out: In Yume Kira Dream, he calls Ikaritchi out his reclusive, uncaring nature, and ends up dropping Ikaritchi's boat into the sea.
• Character Development: In Let's Go! Tamagotchi, Mametchi is portrayed as more energetic and somewhat of a Large Ham. He's somewhat less energetic in the TV anime, but still has a cheerful attitude.
• Chaste Hero: He's completely oblivious to the fact that Himespetchi has a huge crush on him, much to her dismay.
• Child Prodigy: In the virtual pets, he's considered an adult breed, but he's a young kid in the TV show. In both cases, he's characterized by having an IQ of 250, and in the TV show he's often seen making inventions at home and goes on to take the Robotics class at Dream School in the Yume Kira Dream arc.
• Childhood Friends: With Memetchi and Kuchipatchi.
• Disney Death: He and Tanpopo are swallowed by Blackholetchi, but they're later saved when Blackholetchi finally wakes up.
• Dreadful Musician: So terrible at singing that one attempt caused Himespetchi's ship to crash. Luckily for everyone, Papapianitchi fixes this.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In the Japanese Vintage era, Mametchi lacked cheeks and his eyes and ears were black instead of dark blue. In the American Vintage era however, his designed was heavily similar to his original sprites and was blue.
• Face Your Fears: Mametchi ends up having to face his fear of the dark in the first movie.
• Friend to All Children: Is not only a really good big brother to Chamametchi, but has also had several positive interactions with Lovesoratchi as shown in GO-GO Tamagotchi!. Also, episode 131 revolves around him taking care of a large baby bird-like Tamagotchi named Fuwamokotchi.
• Friendly Rivalry: With Kuromametchi.
• Four-Temperament Ensemble: Phlegmatic.
• Gadgeteer Genius: He loves to make his own pieces of technology and is often shown inventing something in his room.
• Gender Flip: Mametchi was a female in the American releases of the 90's toys before being changed to a male later on. Averted in Japan, as he was always a male for the Japanese releases.
• The Hero: Of both of the films and the anime.
• Hollywood Tone-Deaf: He is shown to be very bad at singing. Until episode 26 of Yume Kira Dream, that is, where he learns how to sing properly.
• Improbably High I.Q.: His is measured at 250. May be justified as his IQ is measured among other Tamagotchis, not humans.
• It's All My Fault: In The Movie, when he finds out that Sunnytchi left the Tamagotchi Planet.
• Large Ham: Definitely not as loud as most examples of this trope, but he has his moments in the Let's Go Tamagotchi.
• Love Interest: Himespetchi is described as having a "giga crush" on Mametchi, and it shows pretty blatantly. Unfortunately for Himespetchi, not once does Mametchi notice.
• Nice Guy: One the nicest members of the cast.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Subverted, in the Movie, he develops his own portable sun. The following day, Sunnytchi leaves the Planet. However it was revealed that Sunnytchi was actually taking a break
• Nice Mean And In Between: The nice to Memetchi's mean to Kuchipatchi's in-between, Mametchi is one of the nicest characters on the show and a great brother to Chamametchi.
• Only Sane Man: Probably the most mature of the three main characters. While he does tend to overthink, he does have more common sense than his somewhat immature friends.
• Oblivious to Love: He can't seem to grasp the concept or realize when girls are flirting with him, to Himespetchi's dismay.
• Primal Fear: He's terrified of the dark.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's the level-headed Blue Oni to Memetchi's emotional red oni. (With Kuchipatchi in between)
• Rude Hero, Nice Sidekick: Inverted. Mametchi's an exceptional protagonist, but there's several instances in the TV anime where he takes the back seat in favor of the respective saga's female protagonists. Even then, he's not rude by any means, but he doesn't shine nearly as bright as he does when he's given the lead role.
• Secret-Keeper: Keeps Lovelitchi's identity of Lovelin a secret until she reveals herself to everyone at school.
• The Spock: Fits this role, Mametchi is the most intelligent member of the trio, and is also level-headed and supportive.
• Series Mascot: Gradually became this after the brand rebooted in 2004.
• She's a Man in Japan: the initial wave of Tamagotchi toys in America made him a female even though in Japan he's Genderless. Later incarnations of the series released in America switch his gender to be both male and female before becoming purely male since the V4 in the west and the Entama in Japan.
• Ship Tease: Even though Mametchi doesn't seem to fully grasp romance, he has had moments of this nature with some of his female Tama-Friends.
  • Despite not taking any hints from Himespetchi's obvious crush on him, he doesn't hesitate going on a ferris wheel with her in episode 126 or seeing fireworks with her in Yume Kira Dream's 35th episode. He also makes a dance offer to Himespetchi only in GO-GO Tamagotchi! episode 30.
  • Lovelitchi and Mametchi are on excellent terms and have shared a ton of screentime even after Melodytchi came along. Lovelitchi was involved in the organization of at least three birthday parties for Mametchi (6b, 56a, and Yume Kira Dream 10), and Mametchi willingly put the first of these parties on hold for the entire day waiting for Lovelitchi to show up. They were also the first to hold hands while trying to eliminate the egg curse in episode 143.
  • When Cafe Mama agreed to be Mametchi's homestay guardian following Yume Kira Dream episode 22, this meant living in Music Cafe with Pianitchi. As shown through the remainder of Yume Kira Dream as well Miracle Friends, they make pretty good housemates and get along very well, and in the episode beforehand (Pianitchi's debut episode), they worked together to figure out Ikaritchi's aloofness.
• Significant Birth Date: Mametchi's birthday is November 23rd, the same day the original Tamagotchi toys were first sold in Japan in 1996.
• The Smart Guy: He has an IQ of 250.
• Smart People Build Robots: When he joins Dream School, he majors in robotics.
• Token Good Teammate: Among the trio, he is the least antagonistic.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: Not to his own father, but to his homestay parent, Ikaritchi, in Yume Kira Dream. Finally does earn his respect in episode 22, just before Ikaritchi leaves.

Kuchipatchi

Debut: Tamagotchi Generation 1 (1996)

Voiced by: Asami Yaguchi (JP), Evelyn Lantto (EN)

One of the first characters introduced. Kuchipatchi is a sweet but dim Tamagotchi that lives in the Patchi Forest with his parents and baby twin brothers. He loves food and is interested in becoming a chef.

• Big Eater: His primary characteristic is that he's usually very hungry and likes to eat a lot.
• The Big Guy: While not much bigger than his friends, he's much stronger.
• Butt-Monkey: He seems to have became this in the TV series, for example, in the first episode, he trips over and falls during the race, causing him to turn into a ball, however, he isn’t as accident-prone as most examples of this trope.

• Cloudcuckoolander: Tends to be this due to how simple-minded he is.
• The Ditz: Easily distracted and his mind tends to wander to food.
• Do Well, But Not Perfect: On many virtual pets, earning him usually means this.
• Fat Best Friend: To Mametchi. Has traits of type A and C.
• Four-Temperament Ensemble: Sanguine.
• Fat Comic Relief: A downplayed example; he's not much bigger than his friends and is generally considered a healthy character to raise on the virtual pets, but his Big Eater traits and his role in the show tend to make him into this.
• Follow Your Nose: He does this in GO-GO Tamagotchi! episode 11 to find Yumemitchi and Kiraritchi's missing clothes. He detours to the cafeteria first, naturally.
• Growling Gut: Being Obsessed with Food makes him the most likely to have a grumbling stomach when he's hungry.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: It can be hard for him to share due to his obsession with food, but he is a good guy.
• The Klutz: He can be very clumsy, especially in the anime.

• The Kirk: He is not as intelligent as Mametchi, but he is more level-headed than Memetchi.
• Nice Guy: Also one of the nicest members of the cast.
• Nice Mean And In Between: The in-between to Mametchi's nice to Memetchi's mean. Kuchipatchi is mostly a kind Tamagotchi, but he's The Ditz in terms of intelligence, and he can also be rude at times.
• Obsessed with Food: Food is on Kuchipatchi's mind most of the time and he will gladly chomp down any pieces of food he can get his hands on.
• Rubber Man: His body can stretch at will.
• Series Mascot: Served as this, especially in the US.
• Significant Birth Date: His birthday is May 18th, the day when Tamagotchi toys first came to the US in 1997.
• Simpleton Voice: In Tamagotchi Honto no Hanashi and Tamagotchi Video Adventures, he has a deep-pitched, stupid-sounding voice. Later Tamagotchi media such as the 2009 anime make his voice much higher-pitched.
• Verbal Tic: Says "da-tchi" at the end of every sentence (or just "-tchi" in the English dub). In the Tamagotchi Friends anime, he says "da-tchi" with his English sentences.

Memetchi

Debut: Tamagotchi Connection (2004)

Voiced by: Ryōka Yuzuki (JP), Stephanie Sheh (EN)

One of the major recurring characters introduced when the franchise rebooted in 2004. A stylish and sociable girl, she lives in Guruguru Town with her parents and little sister. She loves fashion and is interested in hair styling.

---

• Bratty Half-Pint: She is normally a nice Tamagotchi, but she is not above throwing tantrums and crying, which is most prominently seen in "The Power of Gossip!"
• Berserk Button: Mess with her hair curl at your own risk. (Weirdly enough, in The Movie, when Tanpopo stretches Memetchi's hair after seeing the Tamagotchi world for the first time, she doesn't press this berserk button.)

• The Fashionista: She's fascinated with the latest fashion trends. Unlike her rival Makiko, she's also interested in making her own fashion.
• Good Is Not Nice: Sure, she's one of the protagonists and means well, but she tends to be jerkish and emotional compared to her friends. In the episode "The Power of Gossip!", for instance, she freaks out at Uwasatchi and Safetytchi spreading gossip about her signature curl of hair being fake and spreads gossip about Safetytchi to teach them not to so much as even verbally hurt her hair.
• Hot-Blooded: While typically passive, she can be this at her absolute worst, for example, she got angry in "The Power of Gossip" consistently and didn’t apologize for yelling.

• The McCoy: Fits this role, Memetchi's a bit on the emotional side.
• Nobody Touches the Hair: She doesn't take it kindly if you mess with her hair curl. This includes messing with it verbally, as shown in an episode where Uwasatchi makes up gossip about the hair curl being fake.
• The Napoleon: She is short and has a Hair-Trigger Temper, but not in the early episodes.
• Nice Mean And In Between: The mean to Mametchi's nice to Kuchipatchi's in-between, this is downplayed though, since Memetchi is also nice, but she has crybaby tendencies and can be pretty mean at times.
• Only Sane Man: Mametchi tends to overthink while Kuchipatchi tends not to take things seriously, usually leaving her to set them both straight. But there are some times where she’s just as immature as Kuchipatchi and Mametchi needs to play the role as the sane one.
• Prone to Tears: She cries a lot, especially in the anime.
• Quirky Curls: Well, one curl anyway.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: She is the emotional red oni to Mametchi's level-headed blue oni.
• The Rival: To Makiko.
• Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: A more downplayed version of this, but this doesn’t mean she is above being bratty and getting into arguments with her friends & family.

A trio of aliens bent on taking over the Tamagotchi Planet. The leader is Spacytchi, along with his little brothers Akaspetchi and Pipospetchi.

• Arbitrary Skepticism: Spacytchi comes from a planet besides Tamagotchi Planet and is surrounded by what would be considered aliens to his home planet as a result, and yet he refuses to believe aliens exist.

• Comic Trio: Despite being the major recurring antagonists, their primary goal is comedy relief.
• Easily Thwarted Alien Invasion: Expect just about any plans the Spacy Brothers have to take over Tamagotchi Planet to be ruined by the end of the episode.
• Enfant Terrible: They're definitely children given that they go to Tamagotchi School, but they also want to take over Tamagotchi Planet.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Whenever Pipospetchi comments on one of their schemes, Spacytchi and Akaspetchi either cower in fear or tell him he's going too far. This suggests that Pipospetchi's methods of conquering Tamagotchi Planet are too much, even for his brothers.
• Evil Wears Black: The antagonistic Spacytchi wears a black suit.
• The Flatwoods Monster: The Spacy Brothers, as well as Himespetchi, have spade-shaped heads and gloves that emphasise their hands, an appearance meant to invoke this monster.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: The three see themselves as being this someday.

• Hypocrite: Spacytchi doesn't believe in the existence of aliens, even though he is an alien trying to invade a planet.

• Speaks in Binary: Pipospetchi only speaks in beeping sounds.
• Take Over the World: The Spacy Brothers' goal is to conquer Tamagotchi Planet.

Himespetchi

Debut: Tamagotchi iD L

An alien princess who made herself home on the Tamagotchi Planet and has fallen in love with Mametchi.

• Alien Princess: Himespetchi is the princess of Spacy Land, and her parents, who were introduced around the time the Tamagotchi m!x released, are a king and queen. Her physical appearance isn't particularly royal and the fact that she's a princess at all is rarely ever a major plot point in the anime.
• All Love Is Unrequited: Unfortunately for her, Mametchi is Oblivious to Love, but she never gives up on him. Becomes more tragic in Yume Kira Dream. Her parents want her to return home, but she wants to know how Mametchi feels before she decides on leaving. Mametchi still doesn't get it, and a heartbroken Himespetchi settles on going home.
• Arranged Marriage: The reason why she fled from home.
• The Bus Came Back: She returns in the first episode of GO-GO Tamagotchi! after having left for her home planet in episode 35 of Yume Kira Dream, and she becomes a recurring character again.
• Character Catchphrase: She has two; "Gigakyun" (translated as "Giga crush", "Giga hearts", and "Giga love" in Tamagotchi Friends) and "Gigashyun". The former is an exclamation often associated with her fantasies about Mametchi, while the latter is an exclamation of sadness she uses sometimes.
• Childhood Friends: With Spaceytchi.
• Creepy Crossdresser: Her crush on Mametchi reaches the point where she crossdresses as him. While it's unsettling to everyone else, she's not being outright malicious.
• Flying Saucer: Her house is one, shaped like a big pink chestnut.
• Genki Girl: She's generally a very outgoing and happy girl to begin with, but will get especially excited if she's imagining herself with Mametchi. In one episode of GO-GO Tamagotchi!, she gets so excited about Mametchi that she crossdresses as him.
• Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Of the massive amount of Mametchi-themed stuff she keeps in her house, her favorite is a little plush toy of him that she sleeps with and talks to like the real Mametchi.
• Good Angel, Bad Angel: Two appear when she has to make difficult decisions. Of note, her "Good Angel" is a cupid.
• Love at First Sight: It only takes a few seconds for her to develop a crush on Mametchi when she first sees him.
• Modest Royalty: For a princess, she doesn't seem to look very much like one. Granted, she doesn't have much of an excuse to actually demonstrate her royalty, but still.
• Oblivious to Love: She seems to become oblivious to the fact that Spacytchi has a crush on her the moment she herself falls for Mametchi.
• Palm on Cheek Pose: One piece of stock artwork depicts her with both her wrists on her cheeks as she gives her signature "heart-shaped eyes" face. She strikes poses like this in the anime as well, such as in episode 120 when she notices Mametchi is sleeping in the bed next to hers.
• Princesses Prefer Pink: Himespetchi the space princess wears an outfit that has quite a bit of pink and magenta on it.
• Put on a Bus: She goes back to her home planet during the second season of Yume Kira Dream.
• Rebellious Princess: Even though she has her own kingdom on her planet, she'd rather be on the Tamagotchi Planet.
• Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Really the only things making her stand out from normal Tamagotchis are her head shape and her giant gloves.
• Satellite Love Interest: Inverted. While she does have other character traits, Himespetchi is mostly identified by her crush on Mametchi and some of her other characteristics wind up helping her to drive the message home even further (e.g. she shows an interest in robotics and takes the Robotics class in Dream School... to be with Mametchi, who is also in that class). However, the relationship is one-sided, with Mametchi being completely unaware of her affections.
• Significant Birth Date: She was born on Valentine's Day, hence her romantic nature in regards to Mametchi.
• Single-Target Sexuality: Himespetchi's one true love is Mametchi, and she won't let you forget it.
• Stalker with a Crush: Toward Mametchi.
• Thinks Like a Romance Novel: If her daydreams are any indication, she's got quite a romantic and passionate idea of how she would probably interact with Mametchi if she weren't too shy to actually do so. She'll take just about any scenario whenever he appears and translate it into some kind of romantic fantasy (such as imagining she's making some breakfast for him, or that she's playing a romantic game of volleyball on the beach with him, or something similar).
• White Gloves: Seems to be a recurring theme of her and Spacytchi's kind.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's very much afraid of slugs and snails.
• Wingding Eyes: Nine times out of ten, Himespetchi's eyes will turn into red-colored hearts at the climax of her daydreams about Mametchi. It often concides with her saying her catchphrase "gigakyun".

• Flat Character: Compared to a lot of the other characters, Tomomi doesn't have much of a distinct personality or backstory.
• Token Human: Same deal as Tanpopo from the first film; both were transported to Tamagotchi Planet by accident, so of course they'd be the only humans in their respective parts of the series.
• Interspecies Friendship: With the Tamagotchis.
