Why do you have them?

[Cookie3131]

I'd say both. I take them seriously when I need to care for them, or keep them healthy etc, but I also use them for fun, like I love to watch movies with it next to me, and I love taking my Tama to malls, stores, restaurants, the car, and if we ever go out of town. The only place I don't take my Tama is at school.

Tamagotchis to me aren't just a little battery powered pixel moving around. To me, I feel like it's my favourite pet, and my best friend. It's also a reward when you get to the next generation and all. I'm on my second generation on my V.3 and I'm just about to start the third generation.

i'm feeling it's sorta both.

it's fun because it's like a little person.

at times, it can be your 'baby'.

at other times, it's more like a friend.

(sorry if that sounded a bit creepy/overrobsessive! )

It can be serious when you're trying to get the most out of it and make it a perfect tama by raising up bonding to 100%, getting secret characters, raising all of it's skill points to 999, making it rich, etc.

well, they aren't alive like humans, but they can still be fun and you don't want them to die

Vpets in general make me feel less lonesome- something that's always there for me... I got my first ever Tamagotchi at age 16- three days ago! Kinda crazy, but yeah. Tamagotchis are nothing like vpets! There more of a virtual best freind! I'll never be lonely again so long as I have a battery! XD

i dont take them too seriously but i like to care for them well etc. but im not freaky about my tam, definitely not.

i do love him though and see hima s a little more than pixels.

i totally feel that its like being a parent because every character has a different personality so if it was sneaky or kind or mean it according to ur parenty. i love my tamagotchis and i dont know what will happen 2 me if i didnt have them with me for eve one day.

love TAMA LOVE 1275

My tamagotchis are seriosly my bestest friends. They're also my little angels. I feel like crying (and sometimes do) when my tama dies just cause I was being irresponsible by leaving it somewhere. I really do love them.

I wanted to know you guys view on the little v-pets we know as "tamas". Do you take them on as a serious pet and dedication? Or do you do it for fun? One time I read this article type thing that this man wrote about his obssesion with mimitchis, and I found it rather odd. He sounded worse than us crazy tama-talkers. It almost sounded like he was in..... an actual RELATIONSHIP with the tams. <_< It was kind of scary.

Anyway, opinions. How do you view tamas? Why do you have them? My friends got me into mine when I was about...... 11. I think they are mostly for fun, espescially to connect with your friends and add onto generations. I've also always wanted my dog to have puppies, but we got her fixed D: So when I found out tams could have babies, I was uber excited I've always tried to work on getting my generations up, and devastated when a high-generation tam died on accident. I dont just see them as TOYS, because they do seem almost alive, in a way. Tamas are magical (LIKE ME! jk) They are by far the best vpet EVER.

So, how do YOU see them?

I have read that article, and I do not find it freaky at all. i find it interesting. It shows hoe he loved and took care of his tamas. I do it for fun, but also it makes me feel important that I am raising something.

I've had Tamagotchis, Giga Pets, and others since the first grade. I love caring for animals and people, so they were the perfect games for me. I think they are very fun indeed! I'm preparing to graduate high school, and I still play them. I guess trends just don't go out of style for me.
