Can vmigos get sick? yes, but its not a big deal. just go to the vet and heal for free. (btw, you'll know if your dog is sick by seeing a sign. Like, my dog went to the bathroom like 5 times in a row but still needed to go really badly. so, I went to the vet. and she was sick! I healed for free. No problem.)
Can you take them for a walk? Yeah, it has a pedometer. Press B and then press the pod button (but only on the pod) and then select the pawprints. Then every ten steps you walk you get 1 point. Not a very good source of money.
Can you groom them? Yes. You can brush 'em. If you have a brush. And you can pet them.
Are there special events? Yes. Like, your dog will give you a birthday gift. And there is quests and messages from the store owner, vet, etc. These are useful messages. Also, the games count as special events.
Do they age? Yes, after two days, your dog will get bigger (i was scared when it did)and you'll be able to do more stuff.
Do you have to set the date and time? Yeah, but that's a good thing.
Are there games? Yep. 5 Dream Games and 3 regular games. Regular: Trick Competiton do all the tricks you know in a certain amount of time Disc Catch catch the flying disks Ball Bounce bounce the balls up with your head. Dream: Bone Catch catch the bones. Jumping Game jump up on the moving platforms Bone Chase run away from the bone and jump over spikes (btw, the chihuaha has the bone chase as a special and the golden retriever has the jumping game Bone Sniff walk around and sniff for bones (the instructions to the game will tell you how to do this) and Flying Dog Bowl press A to flap your wings don't hit the clouds
Can they do tricks? Yes. You start out with Sit, Lie, and Stand. Then you can buy more tricks.
Good tip: When you first get your dog, immediantly start to care for him. You will need to pet him and stuff to get him comfortable around you.
Enjoy vmigo! I do very much and I'm sure you will too!
