How old are you?

[RainShomet]

Just a random question to see how well-received Tamagotchi are for various age groups.

I'm 17, and bought a V3 for myself on impulse when I saw them on sale at Walgreens, after previously considering and researching a few months ago. Seemed like a tiny little thing to play games with and care for when I felt like it (that pause feature was the key seller) would be nice to have onhand. Haven't opened it yet, though. It's a Christmas present to myself. ;

What's more, my father (40-something) had his eye on an "electronic trivia game", so to poke fun at his vague description I suggested buying him a Tama. Then, realizing that he works in a lonely environment and often keeps a Sudoku book or other entertainment with him for assorted boring waits and such, it struck me that a Tamagotchi might actually be a good idea. Presently a black V3 waits for him under the Christmas tree.

So I guess my real question is... Am I an idiot? ;

*Edit - I think you will find (although they are not the most vocal here), there are quite a number of adults who enjoy and collect tamagotchis. They are perhaps the ones that tend to appreciate them the most too.

As for myself, I'm 21 and remember them from the first time round back in 1997... which is why I bought a V1 back in the day and ended up here.

Ah, I'm sorry. I don't post here often so I wasn't perfectly sure where to ask this. ;

i'm 14, but i really don't have time for tamas much, because of school. but during the summer, i play with them a lot, cuz i have whole days to play. yup yup yup. and i don't care what people think. the only thing i don't like is when my tamas wake me up at night. but thats it.

I'm 12, but don't play with my tamas that often anymore.

I stopped for a while and then my mum got me a V4 and I didnt even know they were out and I didn't really want it so I put it away. Then I saw everyone had one so I unpackedged mine (very hard) and then I just got all the rest of my tamas running.

I am an Adult and a Mum and I really enjoy running tamagotchis ^_^

And you are right - sometimes adults get bored too and appreciate a toy like a tama

 

[RainShomet]

Hehe.. Well, the poll is reassuring... but alas, I don't think he's taking it seriously. He hasn't even opened it yet. T_T;

I'm 11 and in my opinion tamagotchis are for everyone. They're like a friend and keep you occupied when your bored.

I Luve Tamas

 

[prettygirlmadi!]

Wooh!!!Im up past my bedtime!!!!Its 1:50 A.M.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It beats my record for by myself.By the way im twelve and i have 6 tamas.I did have 7 tamas, but they were to much trouble so i gave 1 of them to my brother, but after like 3 seconds he lost it though

 

[bratztroxg]

Haha. I would say if an adult bought a tama and played with it regularly they would be a major saddo!

Haha! But tamas r kl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tamakitty710]

I'm 11, and most of my other 11 year-old friends have tamas. I have 2 (I used to have 4, two V2s, 1 V3, and 1 santaclautchi, but my V2s broke. I can revive one of them but my brother stole it) currently. I'm hoping to get a V4 when it comes to my town and I keep asking my mom to order another japanese one from ebay (she will, she just hasn't gotten to it yet )

Personally, I think that ANY age is good for a tama. One of my cousins had one when they were like 15, but it ran out of batteries and she said she stopped playing w/ it. She lost it.... she's 24 now!!!! :mimitchi:

But if you get TOO old for a tama (too old = 55+) then I think you should probably go get a job, or work harder at your current one (lol)

And if you have a kid (or more), then a tamagotchi may not be right for you (until they go to college or something).

tamagotchi is great! it doesnt matter how old you are, they r soooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!! my grandma wants a uratama!

[blizzy95]

by the way for the person who is under five, on amazon it says not for under 6s . Not trying to put you down or anything. (p.s I am 11)

 

[alltheusernamesaretaken]

Wow...

I think you just insulted almost all the adult members of the TamaTalk community there including Admin and quite a few of the guides I'm guessing

..... way to go bratztroxg (sarcasm)

Well, peace and goodwill to you too...
