What things make tamas fun for YOU?

[reergo]

What are some of ur favourite tamagotchi dynamics (current or discontinued) that you think make it fun to take care of them? Obviously there is the caretaking/nurturing element of having a virtual pet, but what are some other things you find cute or fun or endearing about it in general?

(unrelated picture of my newborn babygirls just because theyre cuteee)

For me personally i think the fact that how u care for them has an effect in how they evolve is very fun because it turns it into a challenge when u want to unlock a specific character. I also really love the infrared connection versions more than the modern wifi ones because the idea of having the tamas "physically" interact is a lot more cute. makes it feel like theyre more alive if that makes sense? Lastly i think its so adorable they remember certain dates like Christmas or ur birthday. Idk i just love tamas i'm wondering what specific things about them makes them special to other people

for me i think a lot of enjoyment comes from the nostalgia aspect especially with the older tamas. the "newer" ones have the element of novelty from new characters or features too
that said, i like the way the nanos sound and that you can keep a family on the connection going forever as long as the battery holds up. i like the little screensaver on the morino and the constant bubbles effect on the umino. the way that on the genjintchi when you turn out the lights the campfire stays visible is charming
