Tamagotchi FAQ

 
Here are some of the frequently asked questions:

Which one's button 'A' again?
The one all the way to the left. It lets you scroll clockwise in the main screen to choose a function icon. It also let's you tab between command once you've chosen a function (like playing, or health meter).

Which one's button 'B'?time settings.
Tell me about the 'C' button.How do I keep my Tamagotchi healthy?
Well, first of all, you've got to check the health meter constantly! Your 
Tamagotchi wants pretty much the same things you do - health, happinessThe 'C' button lets you deselect all function icons in the main screen or
use it to return to the main screen from within a function.

That's the middle one. Use it to select highlighted function buttons, 
scroll through information within each function and activate date and
and lots and lots of friends! Snacks are good, meals are important and 
exercise is key. Playing games with friends is also very important. And don't 
forget, Tamagotchis love praise. Also, never underestimate the importance 
of a 'time out.' You wouldn't want your Tamagotchi to become a spoiled 
brat would you? It's also important to check your Tamagotchis details 
from time to time (age, weight, gender and generation). Is he overweight, 
underweight? These are little hints as to how best to care for him.
My Tamagotchi says 'no' to everything. What should I do?
Try praising him. If that doesn't work, try giving him a snack , (even if all his 'hungry' hearts are full). Warning - If you give him too many
snacks he may become a spoiled brat and could even get a toothache. 
So, when your Tamagotchi is being stubborn, you'll need to balance snacks,
praise and timeouts to raise a well-balanced Tamagotchi!

What's the scoop on the poop?
From time to time your Tamagotchi will have little mistakes. It's important
you clean it up right away (with the toilet function). Otherwise he could get sick.

How will I know if he gets sick?
You'll know because at first you'll get an icon that looks like this (insert icon image).
 It's a skull. You'll need to use this icon (insert first-aid icon) to give your 
Tamagotchi medicine. If your Tamagotchi is really sick he may need a double dose.

How often do I have to exercise my Tamagotchi?
Every Tamagotchi is different and therefore there's no ‘rights’ answer to that 
question. However we do recommend exercising at least three times a day ,
but ultimately it's the happy icon under the health meter that determines 
the amount of exercise your Tamagotchi will need. The more hearts that 
are filled the more your exercise routine is working.
