Hello again!
After writing a separate post detailing my experience with my new Tamagotchi Pierce (2012 model); I decided to continue it as a log. It’s more descriptive as well as storytelling as it goes along.
Each post won't normally be this long, I have saved this as a Word Document and was yet to upload it all.
[SIZE=15pt]Entry 1 [/SIZE]
My snow white Pierce arrive in the mail. (What I call Tamagotchi P’s. The Pierces will be called Deco Pierces.)
I was surprised that the box was smaller than the P1 & 2 of 1997, yet the Tamagotchi itself is a lovely, comfortable size. It fits nicely in my hand. It is just as pretty up close as I was expecting.
There is an IR device heading my way for the English patch, but for now I was navigating blind. Blind I say!
I just randomly selected my answers (I later learn that the initial start up questions are regarding resetting or reloading after changing the batteries.) and then set the day & time. I looked up some Hiragana so I could input my name.
I used this blog as an excellent rough guide:
https://pyrotarukia.t...gotchi-ps-guidehttps://pyrotarukia.tumblr.com/tamagotchi-ps-guide
At first I was worried about all the options, the small size of the screen in comparison to my poor eyesight & the amount of features. However after a day my eyes quickly adjusted and there was no problem.
[SIZE=15pt]A small pink girl creature was born! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=15pt]
I figured out all the basics, like how to feed her some rice. I thought the other option was soy beans, but it turns out it was a bowl of sweets. Brown sweets. Brown sweets that look like meatballs or soy beans. [/SIZE]
She seemed to love being bathed, so I bathed her a few times in the day.
I didn't understand a lot of what was happening, and as a baby most of the options are unavailable. So at first I admit to being slightly worried I just bought a super-pretty, colourful version of essentially the same old thing as the original.
It went and stood in the rain with a smiling face and got itself sick to the power of two skulls! She seemed so happy the little weirdo! Or am I the weirdo who accidentally pressed a button to send her standing outside in the pouring rain??
I remembered from You Tube videos the little clover was the medicine button. She recovered easily, just like the older versions.
I have since learned that the rain had nothing to do with her getting sick. The rain is just a feature of the changing weather and does not impact health.
After having fun playing the two mini games & becoming familiar with the basic operation she turned into a child! She is a white fluffy girl with rosy cheek! Exceptionally cute!
It was raining outside of her house and she fell asleep with the light on. I missed switching the light out. I searched all of the menus trying to find a way to turn it out, Googled it and had to accept that I now had a girlpet-creature-or friend? who goes to the toilet on the ground, but can tuck herself into bed... and attend arcades...
Oh well, she is adorable nevertheless.
She slept with the raining soothing her sleep.

With more games and options opening up, I could see this was definitely the right choice. I love my Tamagotchi Pierce already!
My interpretation of the two mini games is one is jump-rope, and the other is a version of a classic game before my time (that has been re-invented a few times) called "Fire"
https://www.mariowiki..._(Game_&_Watch)https://www.mariowiki.com/Fire_(Game_&_Watch)
Instead of catching people you catch rice balls and browns sweets. Sometimes they turn into stars for reasons I don't understand. An anthropomorphic brown blob appears. I don't know if it is helping or hindering you. It seems to be either throwing candy Donkey-Kong style, or eating the candy.
I was later informed by a kindly member of this forum that he appears on level 3, and his purpose is to obscure your view to make the game harder.
**Writing this brought up an unrelated struggle I have with "unsure statements" people have in conversational English.** (Please forgive my horrible grammar.)**

· She (name of white creature with pink cheeks is unknown) ate at the Cafeteria
· plays the mini games many times
· has more baths
· Is "painted" 3 different colours. (Very cute!)
· Goes to the park-speaks with some other Tamagotchis as well as a Tamagotchi pet.
· Has a walk outside and catches a flying piece of paper I am awesome enough (check the modesty! ;P ) to work out is some sort of advertisement for the arcade.
I go and check it out & see my assumption was correct! She earns lots of Gotchi-points whilst playing!
I bought her a pink plushie, vacuum, (wow...what a thoughtful gift!), and try to save for a movie thingy. (Clapperboard) None of the gifts appear in the house or in what I thought was the Toy-Box. When I press the C button accidently I notice she looks into a mirror and hearts appear. So I decide that must mean she wants a mirror.
I later learn that the animations that appear when you press the C button have nothing to do with their desires. It isn’t The Sims or Tomodatchi Life.
When I buy her a mirror it doesn't seem to change anything. I realize this is the extent of my comprehension without an English-Patch or looking through these forums.
At first I have no idea if the splodges underneath the hunger bar are for her happiness? Or why nothing she eats, visits or buys seem to make her happy?
Is this Tamagotchi depression? (*jokes!*)
I later discover that the splodges are the puzzles pieces, and there is a very nifty feature where you discover their favourite things. Each character has four favourite things, and every time you discover one you find a puzzle piece. As you collect each piece of the puzzle (to their heart...at least I like to think of it that way) your Tamagotchi gets an extension to their capacity for happiness.
I feel like this aspect of self-discovery is actually quite accidentally philosophical, and I’ll write about that if anyone bothers to read through this and asks me to. I’ll add an entry about it.
I spend the rest of the day feeding her, cleaning her, and only playing the mini games are eating to keep the weight low.
I wonder: Is the symbol next to the splodges a mirror or a tennis-racquet? Is she vain or sporty? Or sporty-vain? Vainster?
I later learn about the personality types, and through some translations. It turns out there are charismatic and fashionable personalities.
The sporty personality is actually represented with a muscular arm.
After seeing all I could see with my limited knowledge and Yumemiru Ribbon Pierce coming in the mail she falls asleep. I reach the end of my travels alone, and now it's time to head to the "help for new owners" section to figure the rest out!
I wish you all a lovely time on your Tamagotchi adventure! Thank you for reading this! [SIZE=15pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=15pt]Entry 3[/SIZE]
[SIZE=15pt]My experience with [/SIZE][SIZE=16pt]Kiraritchi[/SIZE] [SIZE=15pt]and the hapless owner continued! [/SIZE][SIZE=15pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=15pt]So I thought it would be amusing to continue writing about my experience before I look up some answers!
I found 3 of her puzzle pieces by myself. I liked how they correlated to her personality. I found it pretty easy to guess what they were. I realize saying that would be a spoiler alert, and I know how that feels (so I won't say what they were). I was reading up about the P's and accidentally stumbled across the 4th one in a guide.[/SIZE]
I felt happy when she had all the pieces, and felt like she could finally date. I had decided that I didn't want her dating until she knew what made her happy!
Another door destination opened up. I'm going to describe what it was like for someone who doesn't understand what is going on-I will look it up later!
I entered a cute little forest with smiling trees. Kiraritchi was eaten by a tree. Rainbow smoke appeared to cover up the crime with music and visual distractions. Kiraritchi was transported to science lab and greeted by a man in mask. It was the same man who greets you at the dream school. He spoke to her in Japanese, never taking off his bizarre mask. Nothing was done in the science lab. Kiraritchi is transported back home. She is unharmed, but confused!
Kiraritchi wonders if she will ever go back to the strange forest again, and if there is a point. She asked me to look it up, so I will. After looking it up I don’t get a lot of info. It seems like it might have been the Eco Forrest and Laboratory, and from what I read it seems like there are a lot of criteria to get into this area that I don’t quite understand. So I back away slowly for now.
I am debating whether Mametchi or Righttchi is the best match for my little Kiraritchi. Perhaps Righttchi because Mametchi seems like a match for Lovelitchi. I later discover Knighttchi, and think he would be a lovely match.
Her diary has three entries. She drew pictures at the day-care, sung at the dream school and seemed to do a good job of cooking too!
I check outside often hoping for another discount flyer to drop down so I can play at the arcade. I want to be able to afford the Tama Reform. I have all the puzzle pieces, I've tried most of the food (except for the stuff on the wagon, I'm always broke/already full when it shows up) and tools. The only things left to buy are the clothes and new homes.
Kiraritchi wants a pet and to start dating. She is tired of being alone, and wants to explore the world! I agreed, but said she better get skipping. For some reason my girl, if you skip all day you will get money, and then you can spend it in the big world out there.
So she went skipping in a Tiara.
