Some foods make a tama sick. It is a different food for each type of adult. Maybe you are trying to feed it the one food that makes it sick. I'm not sure if it is able to "learn" about the bad foods, or if it will always eat them each time you offer it.
Just because it is from Hong Kong does not mean it is fake. If it connects with Tamatown and with other Tamas it is probably real. The fakes don't bother faking that kind of stuff.
Each one is different. To find your tama's lowest healthy weight, keep playing games and do not feed it. When it's weight is really low, it will shake it's head and will not play another game. Now feed it one snack. THAT will be it's lowest healthy weight.
Try putting the tama down on a table and using your pointer fingers on the buttons instead of your thumbs. Fingers are faster. Use your thumbs to hold the tama steady. Works for me. I can do the Musical Get with fingers but not so good with thumbs.
If you want your tama to stay up later, then you need to subtract one hour from the time on your clock. The tama will think it is 8:00 when really it is 9:00 for you.
In the morning, the tama will think it is 7:00 AM when it is really 8:00 AM for you.
I saw that! But I forget what time. 7:15 pm? maybe? I was watching for the match-maker that was supposed to come at 7:00 but all I saw was toothbrushing. You have to leave it alone and not play games. When it gets bored it will brush its teeth.
Mine takes a lot of baths too. That is in...
If you really want the mom to go away, you can change the time to 11:59 PM (one minute before midnight). The parent will leave at 12:00. It is kind of fun to watch, but a little sad too.
It is correct to hit the A & C button when you see two flags pointing in. Maybe you are not quick enough, or you did not press them together exactly at the same time. It happens to me too sometimes.
Keep trying.
