I don’t have words for how much I miss TamaZone and ppl coming together to figure out the growth rules you guys UGH. Now I have to google such stuff and comb the whole internet only to find nothing bc everyone is scattered and probably hiding in FB groups and Discords and whatnot. Yes I’ve seen there’s a chart on the wikia. Getting Sachiel 3 times in a row is where I ended up by following it

There’s really not much to say about my first run of my On.

It’s the same as the Meets and the M!x after all. Cute - vERY cute, in fact - but. Not much else. The most exciting thing is literally making these elouai dolls for my update posts here lol
 

The newest addition to my little collection!

I never had a GigaPet as a kid (I think i babysat a friend’s GigaPet cat once tho?) so when I saw these Pixies popping up on the internet, I decided to get one because why not.

eBay prices are WILD these days tho, also shipping from the US is around 20-30ish dollars atm????? did this happen bc of/during the pandemic? anyway, thankfully I could order my Pixie from the official GigaPets website where both the vpet and the shipping was much much cheaper

I was pretty surprised by the wings being soft rubber. I hope they’ll hold up over the years. Also it was... a little... not weird, but... I’m not used to ordering a brand-new as in in-stock-and-still-getting-produced vpet with a classic black-and-white screen anymore. It’s so oldschool but also so new. Kinda funny.

Anyway, I’m still mostly in home office and from how I understand the manual I should be able to pause it by setting/pausing the time, should the need arise, so... let’s give it a try?

oooh! the sounds are so soft! .... there are a lot of sounds tho even when you don’t do anything..... this is gonna get annoying, won’t it :D’

Ok so here’s the good news: after a while of ignoring it, the sounds will stop

the bad news: the screen will also go blank, just like it does on color tamagotchis, probably to save batteries

which... kind of defeats the purpose imo?

bc one of the things about oldschool vpets i prefer over color tamas is that the oldschool ones are always visible on their screen. you prop them up next to you and they’ll just hang out with you and it just needs a quick glance to see if they need something or to just watch them do their cute little animations.

also it doesn’t make a noise when it needs something. it doesn’t when it poops and it doesn’t when one of his needs scores drops below 60 and the attention icon lights up (which you btw won’t see if it happens after the screen went blank!). so like. what is the point even.

i mean, sure, the sounds accompanying the animations are rly rly cute and varied, but imo the main purpose of having sound on a vpet in the first place is so you can hear when it needs something :/ hmpf

figuring out the potions takes a bit of trial and error which... idk, is a little stressful when you need to find out the luck potion recipe so you can make luck potion which you will need to get enough luck to, well, be able to brew potions XD’‘

i got by now and will make another post with all the recipes as soon as i figured out the rest as well!

c ya then!

EDIT: ah! it just hungrily beeped at me for the first time! weird that it didn’t do that earlier as well, maybe the scores need to drop even lower than <60... huh
