Ditto.I don't really care how expensive they are, I don't know about you guys but at my school they won't just come over your shoulder and grab the tamagotchi and then throw it down the hallway. Nor will even steal it.
Pause is also a feature for people who go to school and will get their Tama either stolen by a bully or confiscated by a teacher. You're lucky enough never to have experienced that, but most of us have.I NEVER EVER pause my Tamagotchis no matter what! Even if my life depended on it I wouldn't pause them. I think pausing is a meaningless feature for lazy-bones who are too heartless to care for their Tamagotchis.
