Day 2 - 25/03/2017 (Hohotchi-HO7)
Hello again! Here's my post for the hatch's second day! I doubled my Tamagotchi care count from three to six, so they're taking more and more of my attention now.
To those who noticed, yes I'm late again. I would have been able to post this on Saturday but my internet connection started getting really slow for some reason. Due to this, the post didn't autosave past a certain point (Without me knowing), and when I went to preview the completed thing, the connection timed out and I lost a whole third of this post! More incompetence from the connection made me give up for the time being, so I left it till Sunday morning to finish it. At least the connection's back now (Yeah, in case you're wondering, Australian internet really sucks, and I have one of the better internet speeds out of the whole country! Really makes an impression doesn't it). Just so my Tamas won't run ahead of my late schedule, I paused them for a few hours last night.
Anyway, on Saturday, I did have to go on an outing (Around lunchtime), but it only took two hours, so the Tamas were unpaused for most of the day. Unfortunately, most of the major events occured in the evening, so most of my photos for this post are a bit blurry due to low light levels. The fact that it's overcast at the moment doesn't help either!
Anyway, let's get onto the Tamas! I started two of my Version 4s and my Version 4.5 in the afternoon (After the outing), by popping in fresh batteries, just like their contemporary running units.
After I pressed "Download", three baby Tsubutchi emerged, not seen since some weeks ago! The babies below, from left to right, were
Saria (Female) on the white/rainbow Version 4, Drake (Male) on the snowy blue Version 4, and finally Naoto (Male) on the Version 4.5.
As with the previous three babies, I will give a bit of family backstory.
Saria is the fourth generation of her family, which is of both a mixed Meme and Kuchi heritage. Perhaps her most notable ancestor was Link (First generation), who was a Kuchi diehard through and through and ended up a Nonbiritchi. Despite his pure Kuchi blood, however, his child and grandchild both ended up as Meme adults. Saria's parent, a male named Rauru, was a Shimashimatchi in adulthood, and married Pippi the Ginjirotchi who was Kayla's mother. So Saria and Kayla are sisters! Whether Saria will follow her Meme or Kuchi lineage (Or become something else entirely) is yet unknown, but we'll see about that!
Drake is actually quite a special baby. His lineage is quite mixed, like with Saria, but with Mame and Meme ancestors. His father, Lance, is the most interesting however, as he grew to be an Ojitchi (Senior stage), and then married an Otokitchi to have his son. Due to Drake being a child of two senior parents, he will therefore evolve into Oyajitchi, a secret Adult character, right after he finishes his baby stage. Drake is part of an ongoing experiment I'm conducting to see if obtaining an Oyajitchi will reset the "Family Gene" i.e. not steer any offspring to any particular family. Drake's brother, Joe, had performed this to success recently, so I will be interested to see if Drake can demonstrate a repeat success.
The last baby for this post, Naoto, comes from a history almost completely filled with Universal adults. This happened because the Version 4.5's first generation, Ralph, married a Memetchi from a Version 4, thus introducing the "Universal Gene". All of his subsequent descendants were Universals! Because of this, Naoto is likely destined to become one as well. However, I will use Naoto's Universal destiny to my advantage, since little is known about the Universal family in the Version 4.5 and I wish to use Naoto for research purposes, specifically on how Universal adults are selected upon evolution. Naoto's presence will therefore add a scientific element to this group hatch!
Now, onto the babies themselves! They were unpaused at 4:55 to 5:00 PM, and did the usual baby things, though I did like to use time efficiently with them by playing Jumping Rope with both Drake and Saria at the same time. Since Jumping Rope uses a near-consistent rhythm, I can play two at once with this game by just pressing both buttons at once each time! I also learned to even play Jumping Rope and Climb (On the Version 4.5) at the same time fairly efficiently, though it did require me to keep switching my focus between the two screens.
Due to my need to attend to the care requirements of my three other Tamas as well, I was kept pretty busy throughout this hour-long baby stage. There was one time when both Saria and Drake dropped to two hearts on Hunger, but all in all, they remained rather healthy.
At around 5:55 to 6:00 PM, the three evolved!
Saria evolved first, and surprised me by becoming a Mohitamatchi. I thought that she would become either a Puchitchi or Mizutamatchi (Due to immediate Meme lineage), but I guess surprises do come sometimes! Mohitamatchi most likely evolves into a Kuchi teen, but it can also become a Meme sometimes.
Naoto became a Kuribotchi, which I especially like because it's one of my favourite child characters, alongside Hitodetchi, Kinakomotchi and Harutchi. And of course, Drake became the secret adult Oyajitchi!
Of course, since these three Tamas are of the Version 4 family, they were soon offered occupations. Saria and Naoto were enrolled into pre-school within minutes of each other:
However, since Drake had a vastly accelerated growth, he had a chance to completely skip the Tamagotchi Planet Education System and find a job shortly before he went to bed! However, it was easier said than done. Since Drake's only source of knowledge and experience was merely from his father's tutelage, and latterly, jumping over a rope, most employers weren't particularly enthused by his applications.
There was one place which saw Drake's inner talent though, and this was the bakery. Somehow, he passed the interview there, and got his chef's hat from the Gotchi King!
Quite ironic that Drake managed to score this job (Based on the Fashion skill) with no more than 3 Fashion points at the time himself! Well anyway, he'll gain many more than that over the next coming days. They must've seen something in him if he was accepted.
Well, that's all for the three individuals hatched today, but what about the ones yesterday? Well, they've been doing pretty well. For almost the whole day, they were doing stuff that child characters do - rolling, crying, falsely calling for attention and playing lots of games!
However, their child phase ended in the evening. At about 7:00 PM, I left the house to give my dog a short walk, and when I came back I discovered the three as teenagers!
As you can observe,
Zach became an Ichigotchi, Kayla evolved into a Propellertchi, and Joan changed into a Hinotamatchi! I found Joan's evolution particularly hilarious, since she literally transformed from a drop of water into a ball of fire! Radical change there, Joan!
The group's evolutions as a whole are also interesting, because Zach became a good-care teen whilst the others are bad-care ones. It's just like with their child stage! The most neglect I gave to any of them was that I let Joan's Happiness drop down to 2 hearts maybe once, so it's no real care mistakes or anything. Oh well - perhaps it's a good thing with Kayla and Joan. Maybe their bad-care teen status could get me to obtain some lower-tier adults, which I don't get often in the Versions 2 and 3!
Well anyway, that's all of them as of now. There's nothing more to see now than their stats!

All right! Well, that's all from the second day, coming onto third! I'll release my next post here today (Sunday) as well, assuming my internet doesn't screw up again. Next time, you should expect to see two of my unrevealed Version 5s get hatched, increasing my "Tama load" to 100% again!
Well anyway, hopefully I'll see you in another 12 hours or so. Good luck with your own Tama-Thon adventures!
