in 1996. I was 4 and my sis was 6. We saw the commercial, and instantly, we HAD to get tamagotchis. Mine was a p1 and it was yellow

and that's all i remember. I really don't remember taking it anywhere, or even playing with it (except on the first day lol) BUT i do remember losing it and being devastated.

2005. I was 6 and everyone had one so I said I wanted one. My mom said I could get one if I remembered what they were called. I was young and had them confused with PixelChix--it took about a week and a while of repeating "Tamagotchi" before we finally ordered a pink/yellow v2 off of Amazon. It came, but my mom wanted to surprise me... when I was walking home from school, my mom asked, "Do you want to invite your friends over, or just come home to the Tamagotchi?" I looked up and knew and before I knew it I found myself rushing home. I named him Scott and took him to Florida while he was on Generation 2. I had my mom babysit him which went quite well but I paused him too much so he died. When we were at the hotel I was looking at one of those business card racks and saw an ad for v3, and immideately had to get my paws on one. "Zoey" was left unpaused overnight. I still can't believe I was so naive lol. I'm getting a VMigo now and those can't die

RIP Scott, Zoey, and whomever Scott's baby was XD ^.^

Edit: FL was a vacation. Scott got babysat when I was swimming

Edit: Scott's baby was Mark! Now I remember!

Edit: They are both broken

I forget what year but I remember that I was in 3rd grade and I got a V4 for doing well in school

all the kids at my school were into it at the time and most my friends had a V4 and V4.5( I hade one to ). then I got my cousin all into it when I bought her a V4.5. Then that big event with the people in the tama suits. and it was over My friend gave her sisters friend her tamagotchis My other friend moved this year so I don't know what she did with her V3 and V4.Then when the V5 came out I got one and I got one for my cousins b day and that was it for me. until someone in summer school brought his broken V1 and I said "you have a tamagotchi?" then I got into it again I got a V5.5 and a V6 and I lost my V5.5 at summer school (those preschoolers always taking things off the ground XP) and I have found all my tamas while cleaning my room and my V4s back holder is gone.

P.S:I forgo to mention the P2 I got off of crags list

My best friend had one. She showed it to me and for the next six months my Mum was driven mad by my constant begging! LOL!

 

[rivv]

i was like 10 and i kept seeing them everywhere like a bad dream and then my best friend had one,so i had to try it out and i couldnt put it down.later that week m friend got a new tamamgotchi and gave me his..that day i fell in love (with the tama,not my best friend) a couple months later after the v3 came out i was playing w/ my tama and i must had set it down at school and some 1 stole it...my v2 was so lonely,so my mom got me a v3 cuz thats all i talked about. i had a couple v3's and got the v4 and then 2 v4.5....then my v5.. i had gotten my v5 and i was having a blast and then the most horrible thing happened.....THE BATTERY DIED!!!!!1 lol the end

My first tamagotchi was a V2 that was blue with multicolored flowers at toys R us and right away I loved it

 

[MonochromePixel]

The V1 commercial! I saw it on TV and went "Oooh, a virtual pet! Kind of want." but never really gave it a second thought. One day I was at Building 19, and my dad pointed out the Tamagotchi. They were up on a high shelf so I couldn't even see them. I immediately recognized the name from the commercial and wanted it. I got the Pink Hearts V1 and it just took off from there.

 

[PRguitarman]

I remember when Tamagotchi were brand new but I didn't get it, at first. My mom surprised me with a knockoff VR Godzilla virtual pet which I thought was awesome but it got stolen. A while later, I saw a Toys R Us ad for the launch of the new Digimon Tamagotchi(like, gen 1 digimon tamagotchi lol). i remember the front page of the book was dedicated to them. That Sunday, my mom took me to Toys R Us before it opened and there was a small line of people, they were all there for the Digimon. When the store opened we all rushed in and I was able to grab a yellow one, which I still have today.

That opened up the whole Tamagotchi world for me. I think I was in the 7th grade lol

In the summer of 2005, when I was 9, my Mum's friend's daughter (confusing, I know) showed me, my brother and my sister a V1 and a V2. The V1 was out of battery. They looked pretty cool, I especially liked the bump game. A few months later me and my friend were talking about them and he said they could have poos! I laughed so hard that I nearly cried.

I got my V2 that Christmas.

 

[mochatchi34]

2007. I owe it all to these random kids at recess. They showed me and let me try them. They were v2's I think. I L-O-V-E-D it. I got my first on Christmas that same year, my 2nd grade year. It was a v3! I called him Luno and remember his characters n' things. It went like this: Teletchi -> Mizutamatchi -> Young Mametchi -> Gozarutchi I cried when he ran out of batteries.

 

[Violetchi luv]

A v3 that my mom won for me on ebay that I lost.

 

[MamaTama86]

I got my first tama the day they released in the U.S. so many years ago! I remember going to ToysRUs with my dad. There was a banner on the front of the store that said "Tamagotchi is here! The first virtual pet!" They had a tiny little display and I was totally confused at the time as to what a digital pet was,lol. But I had $30 to spend and I thought they were cute (but why oh why didn't I pick the clear magenta one?! lol). I picked a fuschia/teal/pink button one and fell in love. The rest is history! : )

 

[Tama Queen]

My friend brung her v.5 to a meeting thing a ma bob. She let me play it but I didn't know how to use the buttons. As I was figuring it out they pooped on the floor and I laughed out loud. Everyone looked at me as I just ignored them trying to get to the potty icon. I fell in love with tamagotchis.

 

[MametchiBoyz]

2007, when i was 8 , felt bored and is kind of interested in virtual pets (im a boy) , so i checked it out the tamagotchi's (by that time i wasn't sooo into tamagotchis)website and found the new v3 and v4 but im confused that which is more better but when i arrived at toys r us they have v4 that time. so i bought it home.

that time i think i was crazy becos my mind thinks that if i dont get a mametchi, i WILL RESET it. so i really done that .2008 i felt jealous when i saw ppl in youtube showing off their v5 so i bought it at toys r us again .but later then i found out that it was SOO BOORING and u can only paused it when its awake(travel show) .2009 my frens

already had a v6 music star and i bought it too until now XD.NOW, i still have my v6 ms tama (gave to my sister to take care)and i got my tama-go last week.. :mimitchi:
