I recently revived my old Tamagotchi Connection V1 toy (which I was certain had died from so many drops on its early years) by plucking the battery out of the Tamagotchi mini (which I still don’t like) but plan to revive anyway.

Not only was it alive and kicking, it had retained its data since the last time it stopped working. As mentioned in a previous post, my tamagotchi never made it past the baby stage nor returned to its home planet. As an adult, I decided to try again.

I will be documenting my Tamagotchi’s progress in the form of a log. Useful information (extracted from the official manual) will be supplied as well. As always, I will update as I progress.

The Tamagotchi Connection (known as Tamagotchi Connexion in Europe and Tamagotchi Plus in Japan) was the first in a line of updated devices that featured an infrared port that allowed two units to communicate so that the characters could interact with one another. The V1 can be identified by a lack of any sort of antenna, however it is. Jul 01, 2007 This is an index to topics containing scans of the original instruction manuals that came with various model Tamagotchis. Models sold outside of Japan Tamagotchi Angel Tamagotchi Connection (V1) Tamagotchi Connection V2 Tamagotchi Connection V3 Tamagotchi Connection V4 Tamagotchi Connection V4.5. Tamagotchi Connection Version 2. Tamagotchi Connection v2 is the first Tamagotchi to feature a shop where you can purchase four different items that change each day. All Tamagotchis made after the v2 have shops as well but v2, v3. Connect your device to the Tamagotchi On APP to see more unique characters, play a game, meet new Tamagotchi characters to marry, and earn ‘Gotchi.

Care Guide

Health Meter: Screen #1: Hunger/Happiness bar. Screen #2: Training bar. Screen #3: Growth Stage [ (white) girl (black) boy ] /Weight (marked as LBs) /Name is displayed here. Screen #4: Gender/Generation shown.

The health meter is very useful to determine your Tamagotchi’s needs at a glance (specially if it doesn’t beep at you) and keeping track of their weight (as too much can lead to sickness) and too little means refusal to play even when unhappy.

Feeding: An essential care icon packed with two options.

Meal: Essential meal shaped like a rice ball? (don’t quote me on this) One meal= +1 Food +1LB

? Note: Sometimes Tamagotchi doesn’t refuse food even if all the hearts are full) leading to weight excess.) Sometimes it is necessary to feed it if it is underweight so that it will accept play time again.

Snacks: Yummy treats shaped like a candy. One Snack= +1 Happiness +2LBs

? Note: Feeding the Tamagotchi too many snacks will increase its weight by 2 LBs and might lead to sickness.

Toilet/Flush: Cleans away the virtual pet’s mess (no matter the excess.)

? Note: Not cleaning away the pet’s mess (after a few hours/days/minutes -seems random) can lead to sickness. At the baby stage, the Tamagotchi’s mess may be accompanied by sickness by default.

Play Time: Interactive games for your Tamagotchi and you!

Dance: (Difficulty: Easy) Copy the Tamagotchi’s movements using the (A) (B) and (C) buttons in the patterns shown to succeed.

Mini Guide:

Failure to complete turn 1: -1LB= Okay (Crying animation)

Completing turn 1: +1 Happiness -2LBs = Good (A quick, easy way to raise happiness and subtract weight.)

Jump: (Difficulty: Medium-Hard) You must press the (B) button at the right time to cross over an obstacle. The speed increases with each stage but doesn’t become crazy fast.

? Note: If the pet is too close to the obstacle, it will miss and the ‘fall flat on its face’ animation will play.

Mini Guide: (W.I.P)

Key: Stage 1-2 (Completing Stage 1 and failing at stage 2)
Stage 1-2: +Happiness -0LBs = Okay (Crying animation)

Stages 1-5 = Good

Discipline: This care icon is used to increase training and progress (if done correctly) will show on the health meter. Discipline is a bit tricky. At a glance, you have Option A) Time-Out Option B) Praise.

Time-Out: Tamagotchi refuses to eat even though it’s hungry.

Beeps at you even though it is happy/full. ( If it has +3 Happiness and you filled out a 4rth heart and the ‘attention icon’ is still lit up, use ‘Time-Out’.

Refuses to play even though it is unhappy (tricky). Tamagotchi will refuse to eat if it is underweight. Don’t punish your virtual pet over this! Increase its weight and if it still refuses to play (rare) use Time-Out.

When a ‘Time-Out’ is applied correctly a ‘crying’ animation will be shown in the screen (baby, child, ) accompanied by beeping and the training bar will increase. The attention icon will turn off.

? Note: If instead of ‘Time-Out’, you mistakenly use ‘Praise’, no animation will take place and the attention icon will fade but no progress will be done in the training bar. If you use ‘Time-Out’ after, the Tamagotchi will beep at you and become angry but the training bar won’t progress.

Praise: This action is to be taken when the Tamagotchi displays a random ‘crying’ animation in the screen, often accompanied by a beep. When applied correctly, an animation will trigger showing a ‘shining sun behind a smiling Tamagotchi’ and the training bar will progress.

When used incorrectly, no animation will take place and no progress will be made toward training.

Communication: I doubt I’ll be able to experience this as my tamagotchi was released in 2004 and we are in the year 2018 so instead I’ll quote from the official manual:

Known as Infra-Red Communication (Using IR Sensor) will connect to Tamagotchis together. Push the (B) button to select the Communications icon and a ‘Stand By’ screen will be shown. Position the two Tamagotchi top to top (basically, with the Infra-red bars facing each other) and push the (B) button to start communication.

You can play games together or exchange presents and even develop relationships.

Exchange Presents: One of the Tamagotchi may drop a gift after a successful connection. ( Check Friend List section to use present.)

Playing Games: Tamagotchi will automatically play after selection. Playing games improves happiness and increases chances of winning at future games.

Balloon Game: First one that pops the balloon wins.

Eating Game: First one that eats everything wins the game.

Developing Relationships: If two Tamagotchi become partners (romantic) , the female Tamagotchi will leave two eggs on the screen (one for each screen) and the second generation of Tamagotchi starts!

Friend List: Allows you to check your Friend List and Presents received.

Friends: Shows the list of friends you’ve made and allows you to delete old friends.

? Note: A max of 50 friends is allowed.

Presents These can be worn or played with (depending on the character)

? Note: Not all presents can be used by your current Tamagotchi character (which means they are randomly generated)

Known as Friendship Level: Increases with the more connections you make. Acquaintance > Buddy > Friend > Good Friend > Best Friend > Partner

Pause

Tamagotchi Connection V1 Instructions Pdf

Pausing the tamagotchi won’t stop the clock from running but it will stop the growth process. When the virtual pet is put in pause mode, it will be shown below the frozen character.

Hold the (A) button and without releasing, press the (B) button. Repeat these steps to unpause.

Mute/Turn off Sound

This setting is especially useful when trying to take care of your virtual pet in an environment where sounds are undesirable or distracting (school, college, work, near bed time; baby sleeping, etc.)

Press and hold the (A) button and (C) button simultaneously.
