Tamagotchi, resembling an egg, is a popular handheld game originating from Japan. In this game, you nurture a tiny creature that hatches from its shell. Your responsibilities include playing with it, feeding it, and ensuring its overall well-being to maintain its health and happiness. If neglected, your Tamagotchi may either perish or wander off. With various models available, both in terms of casing designs and game versions, it's essential to carefully consider your preferences before purchasing one.
Key Steps
Getting Started
Pick your preferred color. Regardless of the Tamagotchi version, you'll find them in a range of colors. Although the color doesn't determine the creature inside, choosing a color you like can add to the fun. Options include pink, blue, red, green, and more.
- For vintage Tamagotchis, they're often rare finds and may only be available through auction sites like eBay. You might need to settle for whatever color is available.

Spotting Counterfeits
- When shopping for a Tamagotchi, ensure you can identify a counterfeit. Authentic Tamagotchis have only three buttons. If a Tamagotchi is depicted with more than three buttons, it's a fake.
