KurtPikachu2001, your characters can mate if they've been unpaused for 48 hours.
To mate you can:
1. Go to the dating channel.
2. Connect with another v5 until you have the highest possible friendship level with the other v5. Then select "marry" from the connection menu and then "accept." On the other v5 choose "give." Then select the characters you want to mate on both Tamagotchi. The chosen character on the other v5 should come onto your v5 and you should now have two parents and one, two or three eggs!
Also, the golf and shoe games are unlocked on the second generation.
I can't wait for my v5 to evolve- they should evolve tonight if I meddle with the time so they stay awake for longer!
