I am a tamagotchi fan. I got into Tamagotchis around 2006, got the (at the time) new v3 in 2007, and from then on have been entranced by the small device. I never had real pets, so virtual ones were always a way for me to have fun with raising one, and eventually I grew to prefer them over real animals. I love my tamagotchis, they're invaluable to me!
