April’s Fools, giga pet hatch and more~

[tough viper]

Rules are pretty loose!
For those of us who don’t quite qualify for the fooled ya hatch 💔
You can run a giga pet, or any device that’s not a tamagotchi or if you only have tamagotchi and still want to join in on the hatch, that’s ok too 🤣💖
Just come have fun, it’ll last for the duration of the fooled ya hatch (I forgot to check the dates because I’m a fool)

@white pendant if you’re interested~*

Trying to decide which to run 🫠🧚🏻🐸

[white pendant]

Cute!! I am so curious to hear the frog sounds

I'm choosing between pixie and compu-kitty for mine

Probably going to go for the kitty because I'm excited for the fortunes lol

[tough viper]

Ooooh!! I had that one for a day 🤣 I returned it because the buttons were all scrunkly and weird so am waiting for the exchange. So didn’t get an actual play through of it. It was super cute though 🥹

I will absolutely send a video of the frog sounds if that’s the one I play! Which it probably will be, as I think the pixie one is a bit more complex and for someone who’s only ever played tamagotchi I’m assuming there’s going to be a slight learning curve 😅

[alpine spear]

Omg wait I love your hamtaro figure in the background!

[tough viper]

THANK U 🥹 it’s a piggy bank! But I don’t use it as one 🤣 he just sits pretty 💖

[alpine spear]

Omg either way that’s adorable!!! Love it so much!! 🤩🐹

[tough viper]

This is him closer, I THINK my boyfriend got him from Etsy for Christmas for me one year, also lol@ my cryptid cat behind his ear 💀

[alpine spear]

OMG SOOO CUTE!! It’s the best size! And omg I didn’t notice your kitty until you mentioned it! Very spooky but very cute I’m sure 😂

[tough viper]

She’s always creeping around being adorable and very gremlin like 🤣💖

[split gazelle]

I only have tamagotchis, thanks for encouraging me to join anyway!

[white pendant]

Agreed! It was really sweet of you to put together a quick event for us

Here are my two Gigas!

[tough viper]

I’m super excited to see what everyone decides to run on the 1st 🥹💖

[tough viper]

I went with the floppy frog giga pet 🐸

I named him kero 🥹💖✨

[white pendant]

So cute!! Hi kero!!

I'll have to wait until after work this afternoon to get mine started

[tough viper]

I am loving it so far, it even has an option to adjust water temperature for him, which I think is a really adorable touch 🥹🐸.

Also so far sound wise, I only heard the frog sound when I pulled the tab BUT he does burp when you feed him so I’ll have to get a video of that later 💀🤣

[north mesa]

wow I didn't even know this was out yet!

[tough viper]

I think it was just freshly released when I ordered it! It wasn’t there when I ordered the star cat one a few days beforehand 🐸

[tough viper]

To say say this one is more complicated would be an understatement 🥲💖🧚🏻 but I caved and decided to run this one as well

[scenic swift]

Ooh I’m going to pull out my unicorn giga pet for this!

I can’t wait to see the play through on the pixie and frog

[tough viper]

YAY! I’m so excited to have more giga pets involved 🥹✨

He be burpin’ 👀🐸✨

[scenic swift]

Aah the frog is so cute

[white pendant]

Adorable!!!!

Ugh, so excited to joinnnnnn

[scenic swift]

I bought the wrong batteries

Soon though, very soon

[white pendant]

Finally getting started!! They're so cute 😭

[tough viper]

YAY! What did u name? 🥹💖

[tough viper]

Also I love how much glitter is in this thread already ✨

[white pendant]

I named them Nebu! Short for Nebula cuz they're a starcat lol

[scenic swift]

Got some new batteries! Excited to join you all

[tough viper]

WOOHOOO! This is so great 🥹

Also I’m noticing giga pets have a lot of hot pink buttons 🤣

[scenic swift]

Now that you say it…

[tough viper]

Another pixie and a troll one have hot pink buttons too HAHAHA

[scenic swift]

It’s like a signature look

[tough viper]

Also the troll one looks wild, I feel like the hair would get G R O S S after a while 🤢 it does not look like it does in that pic

[scenic swift]

Flashbacks to my old troll toys that you’d cut the hair off of

[tough viper]

LOL rip in peace 💀

💇‍♀️

[white pendant]

Omg the unicorn is really cute!! 😍

[tough viper]

Yesterday I couldn’t get it above 75 (because I lost all my luck not knowing what it was 💀) and today I got it to a hundie ✨🧚🏻 not too shabby 😏 plzdontdie

[tough viper]

l o l 🫠 took this just before I left for work. The battery didn’t even last a full day 💀 i literally JUST pulled the tab yesterdays afternoon. So much for luck 🍀

[scenic swift]

That’s so rough! The battery life on gigapets is weirdly short

[scenic swift]

Good morning dab? I want to try to catch some of the animations in this later today

[tough viper]

I love the little diaper boy 🥹 also that dab looks so dramatic 🤣

[tough viper]

I love him 💖🐸🪰

[scenic swift]

The treats are flies???

That’s so goood

[stuck verge]

whoa that animation looks really good

i'm assuming the original 90s model didn't look that fluid lol

[scenic swift]

Managed to catch one of the idle animations!

[tough viper]

The food is seaweed and treats are flies for the tadpole and I THINK that changes for the frogs?? Maybe?? Because frogs don’t eat seaweed they eat bugs 🥴 so surly they must know that LOL

[scenic swift]

That’s interesting

[tough viper]

I’ve only ever seen videos, the 90’s is still pretty close honestly! The sounds aren’t though 💀

[tough viper]

Dug up a heart 🥹💖

[scenic swift]

Are the button sounds little croak noises?

[tough viper]

So far he only croaks when he wants to nap or when he’s calling for attention! I’ll try to get a video of it tomorrow. And when I pulled the tab there was a ribbit soooo I’m pretty stoked for the frog evolution because the ribbit sounds super cute

[weary quest]

ahhh i thought we had a while before the froggy was out!! its so cute, i cant wait to order mine

[tough viper]

I thought so too! Was super excited to see it pop up on Amazon!

Kero evolved 🥹💖✨🐸

Lol @ him yelling at me in the second video 💀

[white pendant]

Some starcat tricks for ya

[tough viper]

SO CUTE 💖

Gosh I love that it transforms into the T. rex 🤣🦖

[tough viper]

Hopefully this energizer battery lasts more than a day 🥲✨ at least I know a little more of what I’m doing now 😅🧚🏻

[white pendant]

I'm obsessed with the wings

[tough viper]

Same! They’re so smooth and flexible and pretty ✨💖

[weary quest]

when i first saw the pixie i wasnt too sure about it, but the wings are growing on me! especially with the glitter

[white pendant]

I read somewhere that they collaborated with a Tama collector for the gameplay design? I'll try to find the article again

Can't find the article that went in more detail, but this is from Wikipedia

Sounds like there are more coming that are designed with customers?

[scenic swift]

Yeah there was a competition forever ago to design the next giga pet

The winner has a vpet page on Instagram

[north mesa]

omg damn I need that frog lmao

animations are way too good

[humble cairn]

all right, i knew i was going to buy the frog eventually, but now it's going higher in my list lol. and i want the pixie now too

[tough viper]

The frog is SO CUTE, the pixie is adorable, and I thought it would be my favourite because magic and pixies and all of the content BUT the frog is absolutely my favourite. The animations are adorable, the sounds are adorable, I am so in love 🥹💖🐸

[tough viper]

The nap animations on both of these devices are so adorable 🥹💖

[weary quest]

these are the cutest omg

[tough viper]

One thing I will say about giga pets that I don’t love is that their stats drain so fast 😵🫠 they’re almost as needy as an umino 💀

ESPECIALLY the pixie

[scenic swift]

They’re so cute!! The little frog cave

[scenic swift]

the giga pets get up so early! I’m sorry buddy I was snoozin’

[tough viper]

The drama is so real with the giga pets first thing in the morning LOL 💀

[white pendant]

For real!! I'm so glad you two have been sharing your adventures with them!

I've had some personal stuff come up this week and haven't been able to keep up with my starcat >.<

Here's her telling a fortune tho!

It comes with a lil booklet with interpretations

[tough viper]

I hope you’re doing ok!! 1. Because personal stuff and 2. Because that fortune was pretty gloomy 👀🔮

Also the fortune feature is so stinkin cute! I seriously can’t wait to get my replacement in 😩💖✨ the shell is stunning, everything about it is so CUTE

It makes me wanna bust out the tarot cards, but I have nobody to read for rn 🤣

[north mesa]

Oh no, you had to get a replacement??

[tough viper]

Yes 🥲 the one that I received, the right button was all wonky and crunchy like it looked like it was rubbed against pavement or something rough and I couldn’t stand the feeling of it so I returned it and reordered it but the replacement hasn’t been shipped yet 🥲🥲

[white pendant]

You're so sweet 💖
I haven't been pulling my cards out as much recently and this has been a cute way to still be practicing some sort of divination.

Also I'd love to do reads for each other sometime if you're interested?

[tough viper]

YES! That would be so lovely! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve read cards but I’d love too!

I think that’d be so much fun ✨

[tough viper]

Both evolved this morning 🥳💖✨🧚🏻🐸✨

[scenic swift]

The frog evolution line is so interesting!

[north mesa]

How did you get your giga frog? I went to order and it's not on the website. I only saw a listing on Amazon Canada 💔

[tough viper]

It’s so derpy and adorable LOL

[tough viper]

Amazon Canada is exactly where I got mine! Are you unable to order from there?? If so, I’d be more than happy to place the order for you! Lil froggie dealer 🐸😎

[north mesa]

Ohhh gotcha! Lucky 💔 idk when they release in the US but if the wait is too long I might hit you up on that offer lol thank you 💗

[weary quest]

its on US amazon right now!

[humble cairn]

[north mesa]

@weary quest @humble cairn woah what?! I literally looked yesterday and couldn't find it

Thank you!!!

[tough viper]

The ribbit is so adorable 😭💖✨🐸

[scenic swift]

Ahh so cute

Obsessed with the nom noise

[tough viper]

Very yoshi like 🥹💖✨
