Im 36 years old and my mom still brings up the one summer in 1998 when I made her take care of my tamagotchi while I was at daycamp

>>11516565 Lol, did she do a good job?
I have a similar story where my mom was taking care of my tamagotchi cause I was going for a few sleepovers at my friends but I was a teenager so I embarrassed to bring my tamagotchi for some reason. and my mom killed it in the first day hahaha

from the parents pov, technophobic boomer and gen-x parents were eventually left in charge of taking car of the tamagotchi during the day when schools banned them --and they told of the significant anxiety of not wanting to kill their son or daughter's virtual pet whilst not really understanding what they were supposed to do with it.

twas a great toy, im on the hype train of collecting the re-releases

>>11516684
She actually did keep them alive. Those gen 1 pets were pretty hardy fellas too.

I love these, and the newer ones.

>>11515036 (OP)
I hate these

my bully stole mine and I never saw it again

>>11515036 (OP)
I only had bootlegs when younger, the small batteries would die so quickly.
Recently bought one of the rereleases of gen 2, this morning my tama evolved into Mimitchi
