The Tamagotchi Connection (UK: Tamagotchi Connexion) is a virtual pet in the Tamagotchi line of digital toys from Bandai. The Tamagotchi Connection is unique from prior models in that it uses infrared technology to connect and interact with other devices and was first released in 2004, 8 years after the first Tamagotchi toy. Using the device's infrared port, the virtual pet (referred to as a Tamagotchi) can make friends with other Tamagotchis, in addition to playing games, giving and receiving presents and having a baby.

Versions 1 to 4 of Tamagotchi Connection have 6 levels of friendship that can be viewed in the Friends List:

• Acquaintance (one smiley-face)
• Buddy (two smiley-faces)
• Friend (three smiley-faces)
• Good friend (four smiley-faces)
• Best friend (two love-hearts, two smiley-faces, during connection they may kiss)
• Partner (four love-hearts, during connection they will kiss and may have babies)

Versions 5 and 6 have different levels.

If the Tamagotchi cannot find a partner from another device to have babies with, a matchmaker will come, allowing the Tamagotchi to have a baby with a computer-controlled Tamagotchi character. This applies to versions 1 to 4 and 6 only. Version 5 introduces a Dating Show game in which the user must play to gain a CPU partner.

Versions[edit]

All Tamagotchi Devices are capable of connecting with each other; however, a character from a newer Version will show on an older version as the mystery character known as Nazotchi.

Tamagotchi Connection v2 (2004)[edit]

The Tamagotchi Connection v2 introduces 'Gotchi Points', an in-game currency used to buy shop items. Also, more games are unlocked as the Tamagotchi ages. It has 6 stages of life:

Tamagotchi Connection v3 (2006)[edit]

• Senior - Much like previous versions, the Senior life stage can only be achieved by refusing the matchmaker every time it appears.

The Tamagotchi Connection makes additional changes to gameplay instead of simply changing the games and other minor details. For example, the child and teenager can go to school and play mini-games, where an adult can get a job. Also, the 'Lamp' menu item (allows the user to turn the 'light' on or off) is no longer present. Instead, it is replaced with a 'Mail' menu item where the player can check for any mail they will occasionally receive.

New to the Tamagotchi Connection with the v4 is the ability for a child or teenager Tamagotchi to go to school and an adult to go to work. The player can choose which teacher they want once the Tamagotchi reaches the Teenage stage, and will train either 'Funny Points', 'Gorgeous Points' and 'Spiritual Points' through mini-games. The player also chooses what job an adult Tamagotchi gets and will unlock mini-games based on this choice.

Tamagotchi Connection v4.5[edit]

The Connection v4.5 makes minimal changes to gameplay from the v4, short of adding new games; however, the Tamagotchi is now able to collect 'Life Points'.

Tamagotchi Connection v5 Familitchi (2008)[edit]

The Tamagotchi Connection v5 is the English version of the FamiTama and is the first Tamagotchi to be exactly the same (besides language) worldwide since the Tamagotchi Plus. It was released in Asia on January 6, 2008 in Australia on January 10, 2008 and was released worldwide later in February 2008. The v5 introduces the ability to raise families, with 3-5 parents and kids. It also has a new website that it shares with the Famitama, the 'Tama and Earth Expo'. According to the package, 'The Tamagotchis set up this expo to learn more about Earth.' It contains a central pavilion and 4 other pavilions representing each of the main areas of the Earth. It also included a TV option where the player can use Gotchi Points to shop on the Shopping Channel, find a mate with the Dating Show, or go travelling on the Travelling Show which replaces the pause function of previous generations. There is a design flaw with the v5 which prevents it from properly connecting to the other Tamagotchis in the series.

• Individual Tamagotchis cannot be named. Instead, a family name is selected and individuals are identified by their character type.
• There is a family bond percentage
• The Discipline is replaced with a Play option.
• The Medicine chest is expanded to contain general items as well.

Pixel Chix are interactive electronic games based on teenage girls, and an associated franchise. They are very similar to Tamagotchi in that they have an LCD screen and controlling buttons, although they are larger. They were first released in 2005 by Mattel, forming an important part of their earnings that year.^[1]

Based in a miniature house, in the house, there is a lounge, kitchen and dining area, with steps leading upstairs. Houses can be three different colors; pink, yellow, or blue. There are also three different pixel girls in each house.

In 2009, Mattel discontinued the brand.

The Pixel Chix are all voiced by Tara Strong, except Miss Sporty who is voiced by Katherine Von Till.

Premise[edit]

In the game, two or more houses can be connected, allowing the characters (the Pixel Chix) to visit one another.^[2] These characters can be controlled in ways similar to other hand-held games, such as Tamagotchi. They can be told to go for a walk, watch television, eat a variety of foods, such as popcorn and hamburgers, and go to sleep.

The more they are played with, the more options appear to the player; higher levels introduce different types of food, more outfits and more games to play. However; if they are ignored, they will decrease in skill level. Eventually, if ignored for too long, the game will 'end' by causing the characters to 'leave', although they can come back by resetting the game using a mini screwdriver into a reset hole.

The story is based and shown on the Internet of women living in an all-female college and fashionable poses, beginning with a house, then mate's connection and following with cars and babysitting.

Variations and accessories[edit]

A number of Pixel Chix accessories have been created including the 'Road Trippin' Cars' where one can go to the mall, go to the beach, or do many other things. The cars come in multiple colors. There are also metallic Road Trippin' Cars and a glitter house that were only released in Europe.

Also available is the Pixel Chix Love 2 Shop mall, where the Pixel Chix can work, shop, play games, and take breaks. There are two different malls, a boutique/food court, and a pet shop/salon. Each mall has an LCD flip screen, allowing the Pixel Chix girl to change stores. They are able to connect to the houses, the cars, and other malls.

Another available accessory is the Pixel Chix two-story house. It is almost the exact replica of the original Pixel Chix except that it has an upstairs bedroom. There, the Pixel Chix can put on makeup at the vanity, go to the bathroom, and much more. They come in dark and light pink and are connectable to the cars, the malls, and other houses. Here, no matter how long she is neglected, the Pixel Chix girl remains happy in the player's house with the player's level skills kept the same.

There is also Pixel Pets (Secret Life of Pets) in which pets can start becoming disco stars, the animal equivalent of Pixel Chix. Dogs and hamsters are available.

Also available is a babysitter house where the Pixel Chix looks after a baby girl. The red light flashes if something is wrong or needs attention.

There is the 'Roomies' House with three floors (six rooms in all) with five different roommates - Diva Queen, DJ Hip Hop, Punk Rocker, Super Smarty and Miss Sporty - who are all sold separately, except for Miss Sporty, who comes with the Roomies house.

There is a Pixel Chix TV, which comes with a remote control to switch channels and also unlock channels.

The last Pixel Chix product to be released was the 'Fab Life City' where the Pixel Chix girl can go to the bank, mall and the amusement park. There is also a piggy bank which can hold coins.

McDonald'sHappy Meal toys based on the line were released in 2008 in several countries, including Portugal, France, Australia and New Zealand.

Specification[edit]

The toys have an LCD screen display of various sizes, and are powered by four AAA alkaline batteries, while the cars use only 3 AAA batteries.^[3]

Play Tamagotchi Connection Online

Since they were distributed in several countries, the voices of the characters were translated depending on where they were sold, being printed on the motherboard what language is programmed onto the ROM of the machine.

Website[edit]

Tamagotchi Connection Version 4.5

There was an official website of Pixel Chix on Everythinggirl.com. There were games, such as 'Monster Baby' and four mini games which could be unlocked, videos of TV commercials, T-shirt graphics, as well as secret codes and a movie maker similar to that of Zimmer Twins. The website closed in 2014 along with the My Scene website.
