When Tamagotchis first came out, I was sooo into them. Then after a while, I kind of got bored with them. So I'd stop playing with them. Then about 2 yrs ago, I decided to get a Tamagotchi again (which was the V2). I played with it for a bit and then got bored with it after a while. So i threw it somewhere and forgot about it. Almost a month ago, my friend was playing with her Tamagotchi at school and it made me want to play with mine again. So I had to find mine, which when I found it the batteries were dead. So I got new ones and started playing again and a couple weeks later I found out they had a new version the V4.5, I had to have it and I went and bought it. Ever since I got it, I've been playing with it all the time.
