Tamagotchi (Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchinote literally "Found in the Game!! Tamagotchi" in Japan) is a 1997 virtual pet game released for the Game Boy. An adaptation of the original Tamagotchi virtual pet toys, the game is closely modeled after the gameplay of the physical toys, with the player raising a Tamagotchi from an egg to an adult while feeding it, playing games with it, giving it discipline, healing it when it is sick, and attending to its bathroom needs. The Game Boy game features all of the characters from both the P1 and P2 generations of the Tamagotchi toys, and Tamagotchis can freely evolve from characters of one generation into another.The Game Boy game introduced two additional stats affecting the Tamagotchi's growth, Stress and Selfishness, additional games and food, daily competitions for the Tamagotchi to participate in, and the ability to praise the Tamagotchi for good behavior and make it use the toilet when it is getting ready to poop. The praise and toilet features would later be implemented to other versions of the physical Tamagotchi toys. The game also introduced the Tamagotchi researcher Professor Banzo and his assistant Mikachu, who help run the Tamagotchi laboratory and give the player advice.A sequel, Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi 2, was released for the Game Boy in Japan four months after the original, featuring new Tamagotchi characters based off insects and marine animals. The player controls Mikachu as she explores the overworld in search of Tamagotchi eggs and items while working for Professor Banzo. The new Tamagotchi species would get their own toy releases in the Tamagotchi Ocean and Mori de Hakken!! Tamagotchi devices. Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi 2 was never released outside Japan.Another sequel, Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi Osutchi to Mesutchi, was released for the Game Boy Color in Japan in 1998. This game was based on the Tamagotchi Osutchi and Mesutchi toys, which were the first Tamagotchi devices to allow players to connect their toys together to have Tamagotchis marry and produce babies. This game was also never released outside Japan.

Sound Test: In the first game, winning tournaments with adult Tamagotchis will unlock Music Mode, where you can listen to music and sounds. In Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi 2, the player can access a sound check menu to listen to background music and sound effects by interacting with the boombox in Mikachu's room in overworld mode.

Hidden Mechanic: There are two hidden stats for Stress and Selfishness that are never talked about in the game or manual, and are tied to Tamagotchi evolution and lifespan. They are possible to see in-game on the menu...but only with a cheat code, which you'd have no way of knowing through playing the game.

Bragging Rights Reward: Bill/Gaijintchi is a secret character in the Japanese version and is available after you've won all three tournaments, essentially having already beaten the game.

Secret Character: Oyajitchi and Sekitoritchi are special evolutions in the Japanese version that can evolve further into Bill/Gaijintchi under certain conditions. In the US version, Bill replaces both Oyajitchi and Sekitoritchi as the special evolution.

Guide Dang It!
 Tamagotchi (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Tamagotchi evolution is largely decided by the hidden stress and selfishness stats, which were translated as 'fear' and 'mine'. These stats can only be viewed through a cheat code on the status screen. Snacks increase your Tamagotchi's happiness and weight, but also increase the very damaging stress effect, which can drastically shorten its lifespan. Most guides recommend to never feed them snacks at all.

Bug Catching: Mikachu and Professor Banzo are shown dressed up for bug catching and carrying bug nets on the cover of Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi 2 as well as in the main menu. In the main menu, Banzo is also wearing the stereotypical straw hat, tank top, shorts, and sandals.

Luck-Based Mission: In the sequel, one of the games you can play with your Tamagotchi is a guessing game where you uncover tiles, similar to a scratchcard. Whether you win or lose is based on if you randomly uncover hearts or skull tiles.

In-Universe Game Clock
 Tamagotchi (Video Game) / int_9f93adcd
comment
In-Universe Game Clock: Each hour of in-game time is equivalent to about three minutes of real time, causing time to go faster than in the toys (which run in real time) to make up for the fact that the Game Boy can't be left on at all times. 24 hours is still equivalent to one "year" in a Tamagotchi's life cycle, the same as in the toys.

But Now I Must Go: If you win all three of the tournaments, instead of your Tamagotchi dying of old age, they're taken back to their home planet instead. You can also do this yourself, if you don't feel like watching your Tamagotchi die of old age, by clicking the Home option.
