Hi, I am 'new' to tamagotchi world. The last ones I owned were from over 10 years ago but am wanting to buy a new one! I am feeling a little confused by all the new versions. I was thinking of buying a 4U since they are reasonably priced but then I saw there are 4U+s as well..and ID L's and so many versions. LOL. Any advice would be much appreciated!

If you are not too experienced in the new Tamagotchis, I recommend a Idl if you have not done much research on the P's and the 4U,because the 4U might be confusing when it comes to all the downloads and stuff. The P's is quite similar to the Idl, but there are pierces involved. If you want a P's I recommend getting the English patch so that you can translate the P's into English.

I have two iD Ls (the English and 15th Anniversary versions); one of which I've been running on and off for two years, the other which I've been running for less than a week ( 
). I also have a P's that I've been running for about six months and a 4U+, which, again, I've been running less than a week. I'll write a little list of the pros and cons (for me) of each version and hopefully it'll help you!
iD L
Pros:
-Lots of features
--Includes my two favourite features of any of my Tamagotchis; growing seeds in the garden and visiting previous Tamas.
-Best built in games
-A good mix of characters
-Doesn’t need downloads, but the downloads available are great
Cons:
-Japanese language/expensive to buy English version
iD L E(nglish)
Pros:
-As above
-English language
Cons:
-As above
-Difficult to get hold of/extremely expensive
iD L 15th Anniversary
Pros:
-Challenging and fun new built in games
-Lots of nostalgic characters to raise
-Fun foods/clothing
Cons:
-Built in wallpapers are not as nice as the iD L
-Expensive (but cheaper than the iD L E)
-Japanese language
P’s
Pros:
-English patch (cheaper than an English iD L)
-Pierces are fun and bring new things to the Tamagotchi
-VDPs (Virtual Deco Pierces); downloads that allow you to raise old Tamas for that nostalgic feeling
-Doesn’t need downloads
Cons:
-Some of the ‘better’ pierces are now difficult to find and/or expensive
4U+
Pros:
-Interchangeable faceplates and range of colours mean you don’t have to have a ‘girly’ looking Tamagotchi unless you want to/allows for personalisation
-More features than the 4U
-One of the cheaper colour Tamagotchis
-Some fun features such as bingo, the farm and school
-Easier to get downloads onto that either the iD L or P’s
Cons:
-Quite confusing, takes a little getting used to (but this may be because it’s so different to the iD L/P’s; if you’re new to colour Tamas this may not be a problem)
-Japanese language
-Relies on DLC/not a huge amount of in built content
-Some features require NFC (phone or another 4U/+)
Overall, I'd say that the iD L E is my favourite version, but that's now quite difficult to find and very expensive. I generally think the iD L is the best model, but if you don't want a Japanese language Tamagotchi (and, for me, it does take away some of the fun not being able to read everything), then I'd recommend the P's. =)
