As a kid, like 9 years old, I wasn't able to get a real Tamagotchi. I had a cheap knock-off version that had a little dog in it.

A bunch of my classmates were upset because their Tamagotchis ended up dying of neglect during the school day, but my fake-ass tamagotch has this weird bug where if you held down all the buttons at once it would freeze up and stay that way until you pushed something else.

So I basically had a Tamagotchi with a 'pause' function, that wouldn't die when it was frozen.

My dog never died until the batteries finally ran out. Nice work, fake Tamagotchi :)

I had the koala one too! I knocked it off the bathroom counter while the toilet was flushing and it was gone before my eyes. 8 year old me cried more for that gigapet than lost relatives lol

This reminded me, I was so afraid of losing things in the toilet as a kid, even though it never even happened 😭

I had a knock off one too.

The creature started as an egg, then a small lizard, then dinosaur thing, then dragon. At which point it would fly away and you "won". Then you just start over lol.

TrueOffMyChest: I lost my Tamagotchi two decades ago and this is the first time I've ever told anyone about it 😭

I had a Furby. It used to talk to me from my closet while I slept... Does that count?
