I had my first tarakotchi on my second version two's fith generation. I think that it was called Tammy. I remember that I was sitting in an aeroplane when I saw Tammy evolve into a tarakotchi. Lol! I had my second tarakotchi on my third version two's seventh generation. I think that that one was a girl called Pinky. Those are the only tarakotchis that I have had so far.
A friend of mine used to get nothing but tarakotchi's, she always used to complain but I think they are quite groovy, since my name is tara I can't hate them!! though it's strange to see them called taras lol, only to me I guess!
I've seen on many websites that to get a Tarakotchi you only need to give medicine if your Tama is sick; no discipline or feeding. In my opinion, that is...
You don't have to torture your Tama to get a Tarakotchi. And I have got a Tarakotchi with full discipline. You just need to be little forgetful about it's heart needs. You usually get a Tarakotchi if you let it empty 2 hearts few times. It's sad that Tarakotchis are so unhealthy because they are so cool, sweet, cute, funny, lovely...
Though I like Tarakotchis, I don't want my V3 to grow up one tonight. Tarakotchis are lovely, but it I have just had one, I want a new V3 character! Too much is too much.
