Lol yes.... I guess because P's only has two teens for each gender, they wanted to use more and so added some iD L characters. Although, I like Happabouyatchi more than Bokuhoshitchi.
EDIT:

Translation of the news:
Madrid witnessed the global launch of the new version, called Tamagotchi Friends, which features the "bump" function, a communication system that will "allow children to to send text messages and gifts", says Joseph Maria Romeo, commercial manager in the Bandai Spain company that makes this Japanese virtual pet.
After 44 versions and over 80 million users since its release, this latest model features modern design, new games, memory for lists of friends, as well as 24 characters, compared to the original six.
"The response has been very good for our customers and consumers," says Romero, who adds that in the beginning of the launch the company has seen "some spectacular results."
The Tamagotchi is a virtual pet created in 1996 by Aki Maita, which must be given affection, food, and hygiene through several buttons.
With proper care, this "cyber egg", aimed at girls 6 to 8 years old, completes natural cycle in which it is born, grows, and dies in about 25 days, which develops in the virtual user's sense of responsibility and dependence.
The first edition sold about 40 million units in 3 years and it manages to not only attract children but also teenagers and adults of all ages.
