hi! +some questions about the p2

[BumblingBee]

Hi! I've been wanting a Tamagotchi for some time now, and I finally coughed up twenty USD for one.

I only have a P2 at the moment, and I have a few meandering questions about it.

• Once a Tama has called out, how much time do I have to respond before it counts as a care mistake?
• About how long after a Tama gets sick will it die?
• Can a Tama with 100% discipline misbehave?

Thanks for taking the time to read this! I look forward to meeting all of you. ^^

Welcome! You got a gorgeous shell.
To answer your questions...
・You have 15 minutes to answer a call before it's counted as a miss.
・It's somewhat dependent on the age and species of your Tama, but you've usually got a few hours of you've been taking decent care of it the rest of the time
・It shouldn't!

Oh, good! I really underestimated how hardy the vintage Tamas are. Like, I figured that they’d usually die within ten minutes of being sick or something crazy like that lol.

Hey welcome
The original P1 & P2 from the late 90‘s definitely stop calling out once the discipline meter is full. However, the re-releases are programmed differently. I have a P1 re-release and it calls out 8 to 10 times before it reaches the adult stage. So there’s kind of an invisible meter that keeps on filling!

Yeah, I should have specified that my P2 is a 2018 re-release. He misbehaved for the fifth time a little bit ago, so I guess he has 125% discipline now!

Wow, bad child!

Yeah, there's a bit of a myth that the vintage models are REALLY easy to kill off, often perpetuated in lazy fluff-piece news articles, and the reissues have inherited that.

I also have a question, (I don't think it's necessary to create a new topic for it) : Will a vintage tamagotchi re-release disappear when the battery dies, or will the save still be there once the battery is changed ? I don't know much about vintage tamas as I only have a japanese tama ocean, but I know newer tamas like the connection ones did keep the save and my ocean didn't, so i'm curious to know!

According to this thread, P1 and P2 Tamas, re-releases or otherwise, are, unfortunately, lost forever when their batteries die.

It will disappear when the battery dies. There is no save for P1/P2/G1/G2 models.

A tamagotchi with 100% discipline can beep for discipline even after being filled fully. Once my tamagotchi had to be disciplined so many times, it reached 200% (If that is possible)
