Clarification on 4U skills

[cannibal.coquette]

So I read the thread on how to gain skills, and I am trying to up my Tamagotchi's sport skill set in an attempt to get a Kuromametchi. I understand you need the study set and the soccer ball, but since I can't read Japanese I'm not sure if me sending my Pokapokatchi to the school is actually doing anything? From reading it sounds like only adults can go to school, but if that's true then I don't know how you are supposed to be able to up your skills to get certain tamagotchis.

I guess what I'm asking is:

1. Am I understanding correctly on how to increase the sport skill?
2. Can toddlers attend school? Or have I sent my Pokapokatchi to chat with that worm outside multiple times for nothing?

Just to let you know before answering - there is actually an English patch for the 4U!

Here are some topics regarding obtaining skills: https://www.tamatalk.com/IB/topic/190666-tamagotchi-4u-guide-to-getting-skills/

I hope these help, I don't own a 4u so unfortunately I can't give any advice!

I saw the first link, but the second link I have not and is very helpful! Thank you! I wasn't sure about the cleaning/bathing thing. I just did it randomly sometimes, haha.

So then your character can only go to school as an adult, and can only gain skills as an adult. I'm confused, then, as to how you are supposed to get these skills in order to get certain characters, as is discussed in this thread.

I'm aware of the English patch, but I don't have a device capable of sending it to my Tamagotchi-- yet. I purchased one from Fuzzy n Chic, I just have to wait for it to get here. So far I've been able to figure out enough to keep it alive and happy, and I'm enjoying the experience but it will definitely be better when I can read the dialogue and understand fully what I am doing.

No problem!

I've just had a quick read through the thread you linked and found something that might be useful in the notes.

"Skill points are obtained when using items, food, accessories, clothing, changing wallpapers, going to class etc."

"Use the Experiment kit 4-10 times for the Invention skill, the Make-Up box 4-10 times for Fashion, the Soccer Ball 4-10 times for Sport, the Molding Clay 4-10 times for Art, and the Frying Pan 4-10 times for cooking."

I hope this helps a little more, it also has the Japanese names for the items too. ^_^

That's perfect! Thank you!!!

I must have completely missed that, doh! Ironically I used the soccer ball a few times hoping maybe that would work and that confirms that my hope was correct. In fact, my Pokapokatchi evolved into Kuromametchi about an hour ago.

It's easy to miss things, I do exactly the same sometimes!

Glad you've found a solution now, and congrats on the Kuromametchi!
