Hello again!
So...IT BEGINS!
My boyfriend got me a P2 as a nostalgic present, and I've gone into full Tamagotchi collection mode! I will call my new P's a "Pierce" as not to confuse it with the P1 & P2. (Also P's doesn't sound right...)
Day 1
(this is NOT a log, just a 2 day snapshot plus some questions! It does not fit in "logs" or "help for new owners" because it's a combo of both + a sort of review!)
I was surprised that the box was smaller that the P1 & 2, yet the Tamagotchi itself is a lovely, comfortable size. It fits nicely in my hand. It is just as pretty up close as I was expecting.
I chose a white one after countless deliberation...The lemon one made me feel happy, the pink was pretty, the green was striking & creative....but the white was just so beautiful.
I considered getting the ultimate pink & white coloured one that comes with the Aikatsu! Pierce...but it only looks slightly nicer for double the price. I am not even that interested in the Aikatsu! Pierce anyway.
There is an IR device heading my way for the English patch, but for now I was navigating blind. Blind I say!
So there are guides and translations available, but when I first turned it on there were two questions that nobody seems to have mentioned. (before the part where you enter the time/date/your name)
I just randomly selected my answers and then set the day & time. I looked up some Hiragana so I could input my name.
I used this blog as an excellent rough guide:

At first I was worried about all the options, the small size of the screen in comparison to my poor eyesight & the amount of features. However after a day my eyes quickly adjusted and there was no problem.
A small pink girl creature was born! I have no idea if the colour/gender is random or if it had anything to do with the two questions at the start. (?)
I figured out all the basics, like how to feed her some rice. I thought the other option was soy beans, but it turns out it was a bowl of sweets. Brown sweets. Brown sweets that look like meatballs or soy beans.
She seemed to love being bathed, so I bathed her a few times in the day & that didn't bother her at all.
I didn't understand a lot of what was happening, and as a baby most of the options are unavailable so at first I admit to being slightly worried I just bought a super-pretty, colorful version of essentially the same old thing as the original.
It went and stood in the rain with a smiling face and got itself sick to the power of two skulls! She seemed so happy the little weirdo! Or am I the weirdo who accidentally pressed a button to send her standing outside in the pouring rain??
I remembered from You Tube videos the little clover was the medicine button. She recovered easily, just like the older versions.
After having fun playing the two mini games & becoming familiar with the basic operation she turned into a child! She is a white fluffy girl with rosy cheek! Exceptionally cute!
It was raining outside of her house and she fell asleep with the light on. I missed switching the light out. I searched all of the menus trying to find a way to turn it out, googled it and had to accept that I now had a girlpet-creature-or friend? who goes to the toilet on the ground, but can tuck herself into bed and attend arcades.
Oh well, she is adorable nevertheless.
She slept with the raining soothing her sleep.
Day 2 (Today)
With more games and options opening up, I could see this was definitely the right choice. I love my Tamagotchi Pierce already!
My interpretation of the two mini games is one is jump-rope, and the other is a version of a classic game before my time (that has been re-invented a few times) called "Fire"

Instead of catching people you catch rice balls and browns sweets. Sometimes they turn into stars for reasons I don't understand. An anthropomorphic brown blob appears. I don't know if it is helping or hindering you? It seems to be either throwing candy Donkey-Kong style, or eating the candy.
**Writing this brought up an unrelated struggle I have with "unsure statements" people have in conversational English.** (Please forgive my horrible grammar.)**

When I buy her a mirror it doesn't seem to change anything. I realize this is the extent of my comprehension without an English-Patch or looking through these forums.
I have no idea if the splodges underneath the hunger bar are for her happiness? Or why nothing she eats, visits or buys seem to make her happy?
Is this Tamagotchi depression? (*jokes!*)
I spend the rest of the day feeding her, cleaning her, and only playing the mini games are eating to keep the weight low.
Is the symbol next to the splodges a mirror or a tennis-raquet? Is she vain or sporty? Or sporty-vain? Vainster?
After seeing all I could see with my limited knowledge and Yumemiru Ribbon Pierce coming in the mail she falls asleep. I reach the end of my travels alone, and now it's time to head to the "help for new owners" section to figure the rest out!
I wish you all a lovely time on your Tamagotchi adventure! Thank you for reading this!

- She (name of white creature with pink cheeks is unknown) ate at the Cafeteria
- plays the mini games many times
- has more baths
- Is "painted" 3 different colours. (very cute!)
- goes to the park-speaks with some other Tamagotchis as well as a Tamagotchi pet.
- has a walk outside and catches a flying piece of paper I am awesome enough (check the modesty! ;P ) to work out is some sort of advertisement for the arcade.
I go and check it out & see my assumption was correct! She earns lots of Gotchi-points whilst playing!
