I know there are a few of you out there who found my channel because of my Tamagotchi content
And if you are still here, after finding those videos, thank you so much for sticking around
even though I don't regularly make Tamagotchi content
If you are new here, hi, I'm Lor I generally make a lot of jfashion, lolita fashion content
But I'm also a big fan of Tamagotchi, I've been collecting them for years
And I've made a couple videos about them, I will put a playlist in the description of this
And today I want to revisit my Tamagotchi collection
First big thing we gotta get out of the way is that I pronounce Tamagotchi the American/North American way
because I was born and raised in the United States and then I moved to Canada
And I've always been marketed Tamagotchis with the North American advertising where they pronounce it "tama-GOT-chi"
But the correct Japanese pronunciation of it is more like "tama-GO-chi"
I will play some examples right now:
Also my accent is American-Canadian, so I often pronounce As and Os weirdly, in between Canadian or American accents
I wanna just get that out of the way and apologize right at the start of this because I'm sure it will annoy some people
But it's- I can't undo it, it's just the way I speak
I'm going to try to run all of my Tamagotchis at the same time
So this video is also going to act like an updated Tamagotchi collection
My Tamagotchi collection has, like, both grown and shrunk in size over the years because
it's something that I do really appreciate, but it's not one of my highest priorities
Lolita fashion is definitely my highest priority So I sometimes will sell Tamagotchis in order
to afford other things, in order to make space for other things
And I try to just keep ones that either are like one of each kind, or maybe they were
gifts to me, so they're more special, have sentimental value
I currently have 23 Tamagotchi, which is quite a large collection for someone who's a casual collector
If you are interested in seeing people with bigger collections,
I'm going to have some Tamagotchi specific youtubers in the description below
So before this video, I had to locate all of my Tamagotchis
I keep a lot of them in this little unit, but this is not enough space for all of them
I also have this little pouch, which has more of my older Tamagotchis
And then I have this Care Bear ziploc thingy that has my newer, colour Tamagotchis
And then I have this little case that I got at the Tamagotchi store, which has whatever
Tamagotchi I'm currently running And I really wanted to keep this one alive
This is the newest English one, it's the Wonder Garden Tamagotchi On
And I actually discovered this Tamagotchi while I was getting ready to make this video
I had to figure out all of the different batteries that I would need
And I didn't want to open each of my Tamagotchis and look and try to see what they needed
So I actually found this really helpful website called TamaShell, and it's basically a guide
of every Tamagotchi release that there is, visually so you can see each shell
Some of them look very similar, especially the Connect versions, these all have different tops
So I was like, which one's which, what batteries do you need, and that website was really helpful
How I ideally see this video going is, I am going to put batteries in all these Tamagotchis
Set them all up I've asked my patrons to give them all names
Now, not all Tamagotchi releases have the option to input a name, but we're gonna give
them each a name just so that we can kind of keep track of them better
And we're going to see who I can keep alive the longest
So if you get upset by Tamagotchi deaths or losses, this might not be the video for you,
there's gonna be a lot of Tamagotchi losses in this
Not all of the releases have them "die", sometimes they, like, will be taken away, or they'll go to another planet
And I'm just gonna film this video until I wanna give up I'm hoping, I've slotted two days for this
into my schedule, today and tomorrow
I'm going to be editing another video at the same time as doing this because Tamagotchis don't need constant care
We're gonna keep tabs on them, I will have all the sound for them on
And I'm not gonna pause them at any point, and I'm not gonna restart them at any point,
just let them do their thing
I think that the newer Tamagotchis are going to live the longest
I feel like they're- they have a lot of things in them to keep them alive
They're not as hard to take care of I think that the first one to die is gonna
be my Tamagotchi Ocean It's notoriously hard to keep alive, and it
actually has a bear that will attack it Most Tamagotchis, they'll die because you're not
taking that good of care of them, or you forgot about them
But this one actually has, like, a villian in it that will attack it, and it doesn't
make sound when it attacks It's so hard to keep tabs on
I'm going to stop filming this around 7:00pm, it is 2:15 right now
We're gonna be here for five hours, probably how long it's going to take me to edit this
video, so it's fine We're gonna leave them overnight and come
back to them in the morning So tomorrow I'm going to also probably continue
editing, or writing things for videos And then if there's any after tomorrow
that are still alive, I'm gonna just basically vlog it and check in with you
I have batteries in all of them, there are a few that we lost along the way because either
I couldn't use the buttons on them or I couldn't get the backs of them open
So we lost Kevin
[RuPaul:] Will you please step forward
I have to ask you to leave the competition immediately
Because you are broken
[Lor:] Who else did we lose -- Agnes, Stella, and Jammy, I think that's it
I already deeply regret this idea because there has been so much beeping
And I have not fully set all of them up yet
Okay [intense beeping]
I feel like my goal is just to feed them, not even- I don't care if they're happy,
as long I- they're alive at the end of this, that's what matters
I'm not- Listen, I'm not gonna do all your things, I'm not gonna play with you, I'm sorry Jeff
I just need to keep you alive, that's all I need to do
Wait, I don't want to feed you, I want to clean up your poop
Okay Alright, Wombles, you're- you're- you're set. Stop crying, Wombles!
Oh my gosh, I hate this idea, this was horrible Why am I doing this to myself?
Shouldn't run this many Tamagotchis at once and I've already removed so many of them
I feel like the baby stage is the hardest, right? Like once I get them into like kid and adult stages,
if they make it, it won't be as hard? Are you refusing to eat? Do I like,
discipline you? I don't have time for this! I love how I thought I would get work done,
um, while doing this Okay, you're fine Candy
Kami, how are you doing, you seem okay Okay that's fine
Pancake, hasn't hatched yet
I don't know if you can hear that but it's- it just like emit a really high-pitched sound and made like a brick?
Um I guess Pancake-
[inoffensive music played over silence]
That sound was like so high-pitched and really hurt my skull? I'm gonna say- [insistent beeping]
shut up I'm gonna say Pancake is out of it because
I don't know if that's even safe for my health to emit that frequency
I feel like all the dogs in the area are gonna freak out
Now Borger, uh, has not very responsive buttons, so I have to use a screw kinda dealy
But not press down too hard because you don't wanna press the button into the space that
it comes out of and get it stuck or lodged in there so, um, gotta be real careful with Borger
Oh there's silence, that's so rare
I mean I didn't wanna continue, but, I accidentally hit it and this Pompompurin mix with Lovelitchi is really c- [beeping]
Is really cute and maybe I'll marry it off and make a baby that way Who is- Wombles? Jeff? Bob?
Which is making that sound? Wait, is it my Angel?
I think it's my Angel, it's my Angel Yeah- No! It's my Ocean! My Ocean is making
that sound My Ocean hatched, okay
Um [so much beeping]
Oh my god Help me
[unending beeping]
It's harder than I thought it was gonna be Uhh
Let's check in and see how my Tamagotchis are doing now
Alright, we'll start with Eggy, who is sick and, uh, pooped, and, uh, a mess
I think Eggy is the same as Frill Bill and Borger
Since I'm giving them the same kind of neglectful care, they're all gonna be similar
And Kami's mad at me but that's okay, you and Bob can be mad at me, that's fine
Doing my gosh darn best How's Emily? Emily is sick and has poop so
we will take care of that Ah, thank goodness, the first one to fall asleep
They're now a little, like, octopus guy and
they're sick, so let's get them some medicine
The first one to die from my care, as predicted, was my Ocean
I'm not exactly sure how it happened Now here's where things don't get interesting,
because surprisingly, my Tamagotchi didn't really die
I spent the next week checking them two to three times a day
Just feeding them, cleaning up their poop, and giving them medicine
It wasn't until the last two days, when I fully didn't check on them, that we lost a few
I also realised, with some Tamagotchi releases,
they are really resilient in the younger stages I think some of them may be immortal until
they are fully grown And it might be interesting to try this experiment
again with them all starting at an adult stage Anyways, I decided to end the challenge after
a whole week had passed It's been about a week and I'm down to two
Tamagotchis still left alive My Tamagotchi On and my EnTama
And I'm ready to call it quits, I don't really care which one survives longer
It's a draw, it's a tie We can say that they both are the winner
I probably could have told you from the start of this video that the best way to play with
Tamagotchis is not to run 23 of them at the same time
Maybe like, two or three tops It's really best to just run them one by one
and appreciate all of the different features, and focus on really caring for and growing
attachment to one of them I thought that making this video would make
me really sick of Tamagotchis, but it's actually had the exact opposite effect
Sure, you can keep Tamagotchis alive by just feeding them and giving them medicine, cleaning
up their poop But there's so much more to offer from them,
that by going through them day by day, I was reminded of like, oh yeah I can do all these
fun things, but I don't have time to, it's too much, I'm overwhelmed
It's made me want to really revisit these Tamagotchi individually and explore all of
their different features and revisit them I don't want to quickly just rush through
them, I want to really take some time and experience each of them more again
While I was making this video, Tamagotchi US announced a NEW Tamagotchi and this was
not planned, I had no idea this was coming But it worked out really well in my favour
They announced the Tamagotchi Pix and I am really excited for that
It's gonna come out in July I already preordered it, immediately
I will try to make a video around it, somehow I do feel badly that I have not talked about
the Tamagotchi On on my channel because it's truly amazing that we finally have English,
colour screen, updated, current Tamagotchi And I'm not sure that if I were to make a
review I would really add more to what's already out there
But I'm gonna think creatively about some ways that I can explore more of the Tamagotchi On on my channel
Whenever I show these updated Tamagotchi, I'm constantly met with people who are Tamagotchi fans but have no idea that these exist
And that is because Tamagotchi and Bandai North America really does not advertise to
adults, they only advertise to children Which, I feel like in Japan, Bandai and Tamagotchi
have always marketed their products to both adults and children
And I'm really confused why because in North America you are missing out on a HUGE demographic
of people who love Tamagotchi, who grew up with Tamagotchi
And they just don't know about it! They just don't know it still exists!
I really hope that by me making content it helps get the word out there to more Tamagotchi fans
And I hope that Tamagotchi and Bandai kind of realise that this is their audience too
And if you ever wanna do anything with me, my email is in the description!
Please let me know if this inspires you to revisit any of your Tamagotchi, I would love to see them
I'm gonna keep posting on my instagram stories, maybe I'll make a little instagram highlight
of my Tamagotchi adventures Feel free to tag me on instagram in any of
the Tamagotchis that you raise I'd love to see your outcomes and what happens
I restarted my Wonder Garden and this P2 I'm gonna run them together at the same time
I think this is much more manageable Now I'm off to go try and hit some high scores
in the app because there's this really cute kawaii room wallpaper that I can get on my
Tamagotchi On and I really want it So I will see you in my next video
Buh-bye!
