Hi there! My name's Cat and I live in the UK. I've lurked around the forums for a while but finally decided to make an account.
I didn't have a Tamagotchi when I was a kid. I think my older brother had one (whether it was an official tama or a knock off, I have no idea) - but my mother found it really annoying and refused to buy us any more, lol. Only a year or so ago did a mutual on Twitter post pictures of her On and I realised they were still being made.
Currently, I own a Pix and a Pix Party, and a pair of the gen 1/gen 2 re-releases. I found them fun but they didn't hold my attention for a long time. Recently my wife was clearing out her old childhood stuff, though, and found a connection v2 and a music star, which I got to keep because neither her or my brother-in-laws were interested in them as kids, and didn't want to keep them.
(Don't think they realised how much the music star goes for on eBay rn. I told my wife and she agreed to keep it quiet, LOL)
I have been LOVING the v2! The animations are so cute and fun for how simple the sprites are, and I love having a built in pause function ('pausing' the rereleases always made me feel like I was cheating, and the Pix's babysitting function was useless for my work schedule/taking the batteries out was a pain). It's nice to have a tama that I can give my full attention to on days off but pause when I'm busy.
Anyway, my main reason for joining was to chat more about all things Tamagotchi, and since I love reading other people's logs on here I thought I might start my own at some point.
