Life Span

[bboy16]

I think that the Tamas should live a little longer. I mean it takes long to raise them. Why start over if your doing so good.

Sorry wrong Forum... My bad

Yeah they should. But if you make there life span to long then what's the point of playing with them?

The life span is fine with me!

I guess the thing is that the target audience for tamagotchis is kids. Generally speaking, kids tend to get bored if things aren't constantly changing. Just look at how many posts we get because a first timers tama doesn't change from teen to adult in a day! The short life span is about keeping the target audience engaged.

Very true, Bell Sprout.

Well, If you take good enough care of them, your tama can live a very long life (maybe 14 years or so?) and grow into an "Old-Timer".

But can two Oldies mate?! ;

Yep, that's right.
