It's been 10 days since I last posted! Yikes, I need to post more often. While I'm on vacation, I'll try to post using a friend's iPod. Hope that works!
Today, Ria got her third happy symbol, the mic.

Ria is happy to be singing.

Then I paused her because I was busy. She was in my backpack. When I took her out of my backpack, she was all unhappy with me, with that "I want to run away" animation. Luckily, I gave her the clover, and then she got her 4th happy symbol. I guess she must've gotten unpaused by something in my backpack. Good thing I checked on her!
Anyway, since Ria is my 8th TamaTomo character, she unlocked a new destination: the Patchi Forest!

Ria meets the bear.

When she visited, she got to purchase a new icon background. (Just so you know, the way to get the icon background is by going to the Patchi Forest on the door list, then you're asked if you want to buy some more icons, for 100 Gotchi Points. Then if you say yes, your Tama takes a bath with the weird black bear resident of Patchi Forest. Afterwards, you go back home and when you open your stats icon, there is a third screen that says to change your icons.)

Happy Holidays!!

I've decided to keep cute little Ria for a bit longer. I really like Lovelitchi, and I don't think she's ready to leave me yet. She still needs to get a pet and everything, so she'll be in at least one more post.
Until then, mata atode!
Amat

Yay!

This morning, I woke up to my very same Painaputchi. I was very anxious over what Ria would evolve into. But luckily, a few hours later, she became a Lovelitchi!! She got her first happy symbol, the princess dress, and then went outside. It was cold!
 Later on, we got her second happy symbol, the haatopafeaisu (heart parfait ice). Ria was very glad to have her first 2 happy symbols. We'll find more later!

Finally, snow!

Thanks for reading!

Lia (spelled Ria)

So, Lia/Ria became a Paletchi last night, then later today a Painaputchi. I'm really, really aiming for Lovelitchi this time, although Meloditchi wouldn't be objectionable (except I've already had her on this Tama). Wish me luck!
Thanks for reading! Mata atode!

Today was Shika's last day with me. First, she got her fourth happy symbol after I kept her for 48 hours. Then she got her third happy symbol when she ate some FuwaFuwa Castella from the TamaBakery. But then I fed her some tiramisu and she got really mad at me. Evidently, Chamametchis DON'T LIKE TIRAMISU!!
Finally, she married a Guriguritchi.

So this little baby Choribotchi, whom I named Lia, began our 8th generation. She's cute, but come on, where are the boys? Only had 2 of them!
Oh, she just evolved. Better go. What did she become? You'll find out tomorrow!
That's all for now!
Mata atode!

NEWS FLASH!

Hi! I've got a few things to tell you guys, in case you haven't heard.
First: SOPA. they're trying to censor the internet and if you are against this movement, go to https://www.google.com/takeaction/


Next: TamaTown is starting to rise up again. It's very small, only available in Portuguese, and you can't log in any characters, but it seems to be a demo version of the site. Check it out! http://www.bandai.com/tamagotchi/new/

(frankly, i got all this information from TamaTalk, which has become my favorite site)
Let's spread the word! I've been posting this in quite a few places online.
Tell me what you think.
Mata atode!
Amat

And we have...

So, despite my best efforts, I accidentally left Shika unpaused while I went skiing. Luckily, when I found her, she was alive, though very angry with me. After giving her 2 clovers, she finally forgave me and stayed with me. (She is a Chamametchi, not a Lovelitchi like I wanted, but I'm glad that she's alive and a character I haven't had before.)
So after we got that cleared up, we got a pet and planted some seeds.

I took this at night, when her hectic day was over. Her pet is Rubitchi.

Then we began searching for happy symbols. Her first was the jump rope. The second was a winged hat.

Well, maybe you needed a picture of the winged hat, but I doubted you needed one for the jump rope.

Thanks for reading! Mata atode!

Painaputchi

All that happened today was that Shika evolved into Painaputchi. I guess I'm on the right track for getting Lovelitchi! Wish me luck!
Ciao!
Amat

Shika

So, back to my iD L...
Sami met the love of her life today, a Peintotchi. They married and had a baby Momoirotchi, whom we decided to call Shika.
So began our seventh generation.
Later on, Shika became a Kingyobatchi, earning 300 Gotchi points. Maybe I can get Lovelitchi this time.

Shika says hello!

Shika says...oh, right, nothing. She's asleep.

Thanks for reading! Mata atode!

Chris and Douglas

Last night, Alfred and Ben left their baby boys, Chris and Douglas. After an hour, Chris became a Mattaritchi, Douglas became Ahirukutchi (I love that character! He looks like a duck!)
Yay! I now have my highest generation ever! Douglas is a 12th generation. Chris is a 9th generation.

Douglas sleeps...

but Chris snores.

That's all for now! I'll be back later!
Amat

Baby boys!

Alfred's and Ben's families were completed when they each had a baby Kinotchi boy. Alfred asked me to name his son Chris, and Ben asked for his son to be called Douglas.
So I complied. Unfortunately, the happy families refused to be photographed. :/
Thanks for reading! Mata atode!
Amat

Teens

To build suspense, I'll switch back to my Tama-Gos again for a second. Really, maybe I should divide my blog into different sections so it's less confusing.
Anyway, Chris and Douglas became teens, Monpatchi and Kilalatchi (I was quite surprised, as I left both Tamas alone for many hours), respectively. I am making an effort to care for them well, something I forgot to do in the past few generations. The only males I haven't gotten on Tama-Go are Kuchipatchi, Shimashimatchi, and Tarakotchi. I don't really want Tarakotchi, but please, please give me a character that isn't the same one I've had ten times before!

Chris

Douglas

The suspense is building on 3 Tamagotchis now! AHHHH! I'm collapsing from the pressure!
No, actually I'm just really hyper right now.
Thanks for reading! Mata atode!
Amat

Marriage

Finally, Alfred and Ben were old enough to marry. I took them to the Date Place. Alfred married an Uwasatchi, while Ben married a Memetchi.

Ben is cool with his wife...

but Alfred encounters some family troubles.

Also, I'd like to acknowledge our first subscriber, Marcos Full. I hope y'all are enjoying this blog!
That's all for now!
Amat

Wow. It's been a while since I posted. Sorry! 
At age 5, Tama-Gos Alfred and Ben evolved into Ojitchi. Senior evolution on this version is evidently based on bad care. This makes sense, since I've been leaving them at home while I'm out doing various things. I'd like to marry this generation off as soon as I can so I can try and get a more interesting character next generation.
No pictures today, but we'll have some tomorrow!
Thanks for reading! Mata atode!
Amat

Tama-Gos again!

Yep. Remember these guys? :P
I left them alone for around a day and a half, and they were alive...and what's even funnier?
ALFRED AND BEN WERE BOTH THE SAME CHARACTER!!!
Yup, I've got "twin" Necktietchis. They are odd-looking, but not unpleasant.

That's all for now!
Thanks for reading! Mata atode!
Amat

Makimono?

Sami got her third happy symbol from something called "makimono."

It says, "makimono."

Sami is happy.

And I think that's about it. Not too eventful, but can someone please tell me what makimono is?
Thanks for reading! Ciao!
Amat

Another great day!

This morning, Sami woke up and asked me to give her a full day of unpaused freedom. I happily obliged, since I had the day off, and although I wasn't exactly a model caretaker, I must not have done too badly. In the afternoon, she became Shigurehimetchi.

I didn't think I'd like this character, but I really do.

We hence began our search for happy symbols. I'm not even going to cheat by using the Internet to find out what items/foods/clothes we need. After a few tries, we got the first one: a kimono.

The story behind the hat? Well, we were looking through the accessories for happy symbols before trying clothes! They kind of clash. Maybe Sami will change clothes.

Sorry I was unable to get a picture of when she got the happy symbol, Sami and I were on a road trip.
Suddenly, as I was about to finish writing this post, Sami got really hungry. I took her to the restaurant and ordered her some Ochazuke. Luckily, I was holding my camera and was able to catch a picture (if a bit blurry) of Sami getting her 2nd happy symbol.

After her long day, Sami planted some seeds and got a pet, Shurikentchi, from the park!

Next post, we'll find Sami's third happy symbol, along with plenty of other indubitably riveting adventures.
Until then, mata atode!
Amat

Sabosabotchi!

Close to the end of the day, Sami became Sabosabotchi.

 We played a few games, and to our delight, Sami won!

Special screen 

The iD L has some neat surprises. One I noticed is a secret screen. To open it, make sure you are at the home screen (living room). Then hold down button C, and press button B several times, until you reach the contrast adjustment screen. Hold down button A while pressing button B, and voila! You'll see a screen that looks like this:

According to ichiro_malfoy of TamaTalk, it just says, "My birthstone is Lapis Lazuli." Thanks, ichiro!

Thanks for reading! Today's question: have you found any neat surprises on a Tamagotchi (iD L or otherwise)?
Mata atode,
Amat

Sami

Yes! Keiko had a baby girl Momoirotchi, whom I named Sami. I neglected her a bit near the end of her baby stage, and when I came back to her, I found her very ill, but nicely evolved into Paletchi. Sami and I planted some seeds and did a few other fun things during the day, but eventually, exhaustion overruled and Sami fell asleep for the night.

Thanks for reading!
Ciao,
Amat

Keiko's Last Day

Today, Keiko got her 4th happy symbol.

Since it's her last day here, I decided we'd cover some more extensive goings-on in Keiko's household. We cleaned the house.

We visited Takeshi's and Meloditchi's homes. Keiko even had some harmony pudding at Meloditchi's.

Takeshi's house

Keiko visits Meloditchi

Because of her major happiness levels, Keiko is eternally commemorated in the TamaTomo list.

Finally, her work here was done. We visited the Omiai Party. After a few tries, we found a suitably handsome man: Hirotchi. (sorry, no pics of this, I was on a short vacation)
Keiko and Hirotchi had an adorable baby...
Whoops, gotta build suspense, let's continue this later.
Amat

Today, Keiko got her first three happy symbols: Sparkly scrunchie, TamaMori Tree, and tropical fruit. Her great grandmother, Mika, who usually serves tropical fruit, was mysteriously unable to give Keiko anything to eat; we had to buy some tropical fruit from the Cafe instead.
(Oddly, when we tried going to Mika's house again for free food, she gave Keiko a bowl of tropical fruit. Keiko showed how happy she was about having tropical fruit by jumping up and down with a heart above her head.)

 
After Keiko got these happy symbols, I changed her into Tamamoriritchi again. Also, Keiko got a pet: unfortunately Hapihapitchi again. I accidentally selected "Keep" when asked to take home the pet (I pushed the button too fast). I wanted to get a more interesting one, but I'll have to wait for the next generation.

Keiko and Hapihapitchi enjoy the outdoors.

Long day!

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading!

I accidentally left my Tama-Gos alone for over 24 hours. When I suddenly remembered, I checked on them, and lo and behold, there they were, still ALIVE! Only Tama-Gos can stand up to that kind of neglect. Alfred and Ben had become Monpatchi and Korokotchi, respectively, and they were both asleep. I woke them up. They were upset with me, but it was lucky that I had woken them up, because they were both severely ill and starving. After curing them of their various ailments, I paused them to avoid this happening again while I am so busy. Keiko on my iD L is paused as well.

He looks like a monkey!

Today's question: how much nerve does it take to leave comments on a blog?
Thanks for reading! Mata atode!
Amat

Today, Keiko evolved from Painaputchi into Moriritchi. She's SUPER cute. Then we used Henshin Jo, and because she has a sparkly scrunchie, she was able to becom Tamamoriritchi!

Since Keiko needs to get her happy symbols, which involve clothes, I changed her back into Moriritchi for the time being.

Keiko changes back into her true form...

Moriritchi! Plain ol' Keiko!

Thanks for reading! For now, Mata atode!

It's been 9 days! Fear not, I have not abandoned you; just got inundated with homework the other day and am still recovering from the trauma! Anyway...
Last night, each age 8, Andromeda and Anton left their Kinotchi sons. The Kinotchi from my black Tama-Go I named Alfred. The blue Tama-Go I named Ben. An hour later, Alfred became a Mattaritchi, while Ben evolved into an Ahirukutchi. I introduced one of my friends to these, and they said, "I'd forgotten how fun these are!" We played with Ben, Alfred, and my V3 Violetchi, Fred, for a while. It satisfied me to learn that people I knew would still pick up a Tamagotchi if given the chance.
Thanks for reading! Mata atode!

Got any questions? Ask me by leaving a comment or PMing me on TamaTalk. (I'm Amat Gotchi on there as well)

Hi! Today, Keiko became a Painaputchi.

Keiko sleeps peacefully.

Also, Andromeda and Anton married and had two baby boys. I took a video, but my devilish camera suddenly rebelled decided to avoid being a subservient tool and instead give me horrible resolution videos, so the video I ended up with was so bad I couldn't post it.

Now for one more thing to talk about: the Tamagotchi P! What do you think about it? In my opinion, it seems a bit volatile. On one hand, it's got all these brand new features, which sound really cool. On the other, there are almost no pre-existing characters on it. The shell design seems a bit too glittery, weird, and Barbie-esque, and I hear the download feature has been removed! Last but not least, Bandai ousted many of the existing characters (Lovelitchi, Meloditchi, Kuishinbotchi, etc.) from the Tamagotchi anime, and hence the Tamagotchi P. Injustices here! OK, I don't actually watch the Tamagotchi anime, but I'd like to, and it sounds like it's really good. While I'm at it, where can you find all the Tamagotchi anime episodes? I'm able to find individual ones, but not the whole set. I can find the occasional English one, but oddly enough not the first episode. I don't care if it's in English or Japanese, but I'd like to watch the anime. OK, rant and bloviation OVER.

This is all pending information, and I could be wrong about a lot of it. We'll find more about it soon. Maybe the Tamagotchi anime isn't so sinister as it seems.

When offered the choice, Takeshi chose Furawatchi.

Hi, all! Today held crucial events in the world of Tamagotchi, much romance, and many pictures.
Takeshi married a Furawatchi and had a baby girl Choribotchi, whom I named Keiko. She later evolved into Paletchi. (I didn't include a picture of her at this stage because there are already plenty of pictures of her on this blog.

Standing awkwardly together

Fireworks!

Takeshi, no longer nervous, offers a ring of proposal.

Takeshi's last moments with Keiko, asleep.

Keiko in shock and appalled at her father's departure.

Our second event is another romance... Andromeda and Anton! They are falling in love.

A passionate kiss in the park...

Andromeda turns Anton down, SO embarrassing

A kiss at night

And Anton got a spiffy new wallpaper.

So, did you enjoy this romantic post? Or did all the sappy stuff make you ill? Please post feedback in the comments!
Maybe Anton and Andromeda will get married tomorrow.
Until then, mata atode!
