Hey guys! So if you saw in the mail thread, I got the Smart today! I also got a few other things I'm not going to run (at least not right away), but I'm also running 6 other things because I'm crazy like that. Anyway, I want to log my time with the Smart!!
Here's a pic of my Tama Mail if you haven't seen it in the other thread
I got the Sanrio Smart. It comes with a Sanrio characters TamaSma card, but I decided not to use it for now, as I want to see what the 'base' characters are like.
I made an unboxing and initial gameplay video, which I'll upload later, so I don't have photos of the beginning. When you start, you put in your name and birthday and of course set the clock. Then an egg rolls around and hatches after about a minute.
Here's what mine hatched into! Puchikotchi! Apparently there are only two possible babies, her and her male counterpart Puchiotchi.
I'm going to name her Denise.
The baby phase was kind of boring and annoying. The hunger meter drained FAST and there was nothing to do but feed it. And navigating the menus is kinda clunky NGL. But I thought the same about the Pix at first, but now they seem fine now that I'm used to them, so maybe I'll get used to these, too.
At first you can only feed them milk and biscuits (cookies).
Like most baby Tamagotchis, they will do things like sleep, poop, and get sick so you can get used to taking care of them.
If you catch them about to poop and press the toilet button, they'll run to the toilet and go in there. Otherwise they go on the floor and you have to clean it up. A disembodied hand carrying a broom sweeps it away.
This is what she looks like sleeping. TBH I found this a little disappointing. The Pix has its own bedroom with a unique sleeping sprite. This is just the normal sprite with a pillow behind it and a blanket obscuring it. Not nearly as interesting.
But it's still cute Maybe the older ones will have better sleeping sprites?
I took a really fast shower because I thought she was going to evolve while I was in there, but she did not. The evolution animation kinda looks like an explosion. I didn't get to capture it on camera. WIth the Pix it's a little easier to get a pic because they give you a little time to get ready since you can take pics in-game. And then if you don't get your camera out, you can just take a pic with the Pix itself. But this one is not built for taking pictures, so it just GOES.
This little one's name is Chamekotchi. I like that she looks like a gumdrop but I don't like the bow on her head. I want to be able to dress them up myself; I don't like when the creature's design already has accessories and clothing. Plus I like when they look more like weird alien things which wouldn't have cute accessories to begin with
The house is very plain looking; it's all white. I don't know if we get the option to decorate it later. I sure hope so. I haven't explored all the game functions, yet, though, as you're locked out of some of them as a baby and she evolved while I was eating, and then I did a livestream after I ate, and just now sat down to write this.
So let's explore the options now! (I just tried pushing the top in to activate it as if it were the Pix... oops XD)
While I was uploading pics, she went to sleep at 7:30!! This is the first time I've ever seen a Tama go to sleep on anything other than on the hour???? Very interesting!!! LOL the things that surprise us as Tama caretakers XD
Anyway, when she went to bed, she looked worried (I was making coffee so I didn't get to see what she said, but there was some dialogue on the screen right before I picked it up). I wasn't sure what to do, so I pressed the Menu button which just brought up the menu (and almost everything was unselectable except to see status and settings). So I tried pressing on her and she got close up. So I tried swiping around on the screen to pet. Now, I was trying to pet in my unboxing video and could NOT get it to work. I somehow managed to pet her this time, and it seemed to make her happy, but then she got sad again D: So I kept it up and kinda got better at petting... only took me like 9 tries instead of 25 lmfao. Once I petted her 3 times she calmed down and fell asleep. Having to put them asleep by calming them down was a great and cute idea IMO!!
But yeah, let's get back to what you can do with the TamaSma!
There are two pages to the main menu. The first one is your basic care stuff -- the heart and gear goes to a page where you can choose to see your status or change settings. The house with a + on it is used when your Tama is sick. The fork and knife are for feeding, and the showerhead is for using the toilet or taking a shower.
The second page has more interesting stuff -- the cabinet icon houses all your items (which are separated into dougu, accessorie, and treasures. Dougu generally means like "utensils" or "tools" but in this case it's various things you can play with, as it has a wider range of uses than those . I don't know what to translate it to here... maybe toys? Anyway, I'm not sure what "treasures" are but I hope they're decorations for the room.
The "App" icon allows you to use a few different applications -- there's a food delivery app, a shopping app, a hookup app, and a camera app. Food and shopping are where you can buy items and food, as well as redecorate your house (yay!), the hookup app is for getting married when your Tama is old enough, and the camera app lets you stage a little printclub-like photo with your Tamagotchi by adding a border and sticker to a close-up of them.
The door icon allows you to go outside. You can choose to go to work or go to the park.
And the last icon is for interdevice communications. Er, I assume. I've never touched it and haven't read the manual fully yet LOL
So let's explore some of these activities!! ... In the next post, because I hit the character limit...
