Group name for japanese connections?

Ok so I've thought about this for a while now and decided to finally ask.

Tamagotchis namned v1, v2, v3, and so on up untiltil tama-go are called Connections, or Connexions for the european counterparts.

As many of you know, there is a group of similar, paralelly released tamagotchis in japanese, such as the tamagotchi +, ketai (or keitama), akai ketai, entama, uratama, hanerutchi, hanerutchi 2...

My question is simply if there is a known group name for these non-vintage, non-colour, connection-similair, japanese tamas. I find myself referring to them as "japanese connections" and it just doesn't sound quite right...

The Japanese tamagotchis you are referring to were called Tamagotchi Plus (they were launched in 2004 and had the IR connections)

Oh, that figures. Thank you.

I thought tamagotchi plus was the specific name for the japanese v1 version, but thanks for clearing that up!
