< Tamagotchi

Tamagotchi/YMMV


  • Nightmare Fuel: Blackholetchi.
  • Deader Than Disco: In most of the world, this is the franchise's current status.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Apparently, there is a cult following of Tamagotchi in Poland.
  • More Popular Spinoff: Digimon, the franchise's Spear Counterpart, is still active today and doing better than it has for a while in Japan. Tamagotchi... not so much.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: The overall toy; many people have had less trouble taking care of a real animal than a Tamagotchi or anything similar.
  • Tear Jerker: When your Tamagotchi dies.
    • Everywhere in The Movie. First we have Mametchi breaking down to tears when he hears that the sun left Tamagotchi Planet because of him. Not much longer later, he falls into a black hole trying to save the planet, and he's TERRIFIED of the dark, followed by shots of the entire cast (including his little sister and family) watching on in horror. And we all knew that Tanpopo would go home at the end of the film, but we didn't expect Chamametchi bursting into tears, and the rest of the cast slowly following suit.
  • They Just Didn't Care: Bandai US's attempted revival, Tama Town By Tamagotchi, is this. With how little marketing Bandai is doing for the line, as well as how little product has been released, one must wonder if Bandai US even wants to keep the franchise going.
