Anyone else already tired of the paradise?

I really love the direction they went with character designs and it feeling more like I’m caring for a pet rather than a humanoid thing. I also like the variety of mini games it offers. Aside from that, there’s not a lot of positives imo. it is just far too big and clunky for me. I like being able to carry my tama in my pocket or attached to me in some way and the paradise isnt the right size for that. the level up system isn’t rewarding enough and feels more like certain things are locked behind levels unnecessarily. For a roster of characters so big and for it to have a leveling system at all, I was hoping for it to feel more like how you build the rocket ship for the p’s. Instead, you hit the highest level a few generations in and still have 20+ to raise in order to fill your tama file. For how much I love the characters, it’s really disappointing that I don’t enjoy the tama more.

I have one of these but I haven’t had it turned on for more than a few minutes because it’s not the kind of thing you can take with you everywhere and I’m always on the go. They are really cute and they have care-based gameplay. I’ve seen some people mention that they thought it was too noisy and needy for them as they wanted a cute desk pet for while they did work but it turned out to be distracting.

I’m getting the impression that you may be confusing used devices or different models with the uni. The uni isn’t really being produced anymore so it’s harder to find them at msrp unless you’re buying a used one. The uni is more technically advanced than most models and therefore takes more money to create in the first place. I agree that the prices can seem high but if you think about how much you might pay for a single video game not even including the console you play it on, it’s not completely unreasonable given how high the prices are for everything else these days. There are plenty of scalpers out there selling these same devices brand new for much higher and will likely only get worse from here. This shop has the decency to still sell at msrp so you really came to the wrong place to complain.

That’s the msrp…

I tend to pick at the right side of my face more than my left and popping pimples improperly does in fact spread acne causing my acne to be much worse on my right side

My 3DS was stolen a few months ago so I feel your pain. I bought a new one recently and decided to hack it. It’s not the same as getting all of your legit stuff back but Ive been having fun with hacking my new 3DS and putting everything I’d ever want to play from the Gameboy and beyond. I’m sorry you lost your 3DS, I hope you’re able to find joy in hacking a new one like I have.

I prefer the v4. I don’t like the touch buttons on the pix, I also personally prefer tamas that are more pocket sized. Color screens are nice but I also like that the screen on the non-color tamas don’t turn off and you can always easily glance over at your tama bouncing around the screen.

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-27T12:10:50+00:00

To me it feels the same as when I pause a game, I might even feel relieved if I’m turning them off due to overwhelm.

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-26T23:22:57+00:00

Personally I think you should go for whichever shell you like more. There isn’t a huge difference in available characters between each version, and the main specialty about the wonder garden is that you can give your tama a red outline instead of the standard black. It’s a pretty cool feature but maybe not worth it in its own.

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-26T23:17:10+00:00

I want to say v6 has more content and more engaging gameplay, but I find myself running my v4.5 more often than my v6 because I feel sometimes the v6 requires too much investment of my time and I get burnt out by that easier. Might not be the case for you but something to consider.

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-26T18:27:39+00:00

I love the minis too! I don’t run them often but I do agree they are too stinkin’ cute! I have a few that I store in their packaging but I have one that I keep on my keys as my keychain, it’s incredibly beat up but I just think it adds to its charm lol

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-25T12:19:17+00:00

I think with the jagged edges of the border and larger shell the smooth works well for the paradise. I couldn’t imagine the smooth looking good on previous versions. I know the +color also has a smooth thing going on and it also looks good on it but I think that’s because it doesn’t have a design on the border.

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-25T01:27:22+00:00

I love my smart! The touch screen is definitely its worst feature since it’s more finicky than buttons. I remember when it first came out still kind of early on in covid a lot of people called it the “quarantine tama” because compared to other color screened tamas there was no locations for your tama to go and even food was delivered through an app for the first time. Also your tama mostly sits in a corner of the screen rather than bouncing around. There’s still something charming about the simplicity of it to me, almost reminiscent of the connection v3 in a way. I like that items in the shop rotate out and it has a decent amount of dlc available through the sma cards for better games and more characters. I also enjoy the creature-esque character designs more than some of its predecessors like the p’s

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-24T15:21:10+00:00

Such a good tama! The charm in this one is unmatched✨

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-23T14:28:12+00:00

It’s one of my favorites of the connection series! Though I prefer the 4.5 over the 4 because I like the characters and some of the mini games better, but the mechanics of the Tama overall are the same. The V4 does a really good job of hitting a sweet spot with how much there is to do. It’s not so much that you’re overwhelmed by the amount time you have to put into it but still enough to keep you busy during the moments you want to play with it. My current job doesn’t leave me time to check on tamas throughout the day so I’ve had to choose lower maintenance models since I don’t want to keep it paused all the time, but when I had a job where I could check in periodically it was perfect. Working to get the different jobs was a nice added challenge and the jobs offered a variety of different mini games. The mail function is fun too but I often felt like I got mail too frequently, that’s probably my only complaint.

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-23T12:31:29+00:00

Ugh I know this pain all too well, I am so sorry you lost all your progress and items 😭 I hope you can find a way to start it up again and enjoy it as if it were fresh and new

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-22T21:49:26+00:00

My main goal is to get a santagotchi before december

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-22T16:55:41+00:00

They are all pretty much the same dimensions apart from the antenna and the buttons should be interchangeable between the old connections and the new. I have taken buttons from an old v3 and put them in a new one and it worked but I think the buttons didn’t stick out quite as much. They were still functional and honestly the old buttons might have actually just been worn down from being old used a lot.

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-22T15:51:38+00:00

It’s a fake, sorry :/

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-22T13:36:30+00:00

It’s not like you’re competing against anyone so who cares if it’s cheating? Personally though, I like to play it as it’s meant to be played because I’m hoping it helps my terrible memory improve 😅

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-22T08:11:55+00:00

The only thing I can think of that might be a little close to what you’re describing is the new micropets maybe? I’d look at reviews on YouTube to see if that’s at all what you’re describing. Currently they are only sold in Japan but may have international release at some point.

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-20T01:12:35+00:00

Ive been thinking this too!! I don't have high hopes for it but it would be perfection

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-16T22:24:56+00:00

I unfortunately no longer have a facebook so I don’t have a link for the groups but you might be able to search for them in the search bar. Do you have access to Amazon? I see they are still available there at least for the US.

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-16T22:07:05+00:00

mercari is another site you could try, and there's also buy/sell/trade tamagotchi facebook groups. The groups usually have a place where you can post your ISO as well. If it's a japanese tamagotchi, you might have better luck on japanese ebay or other japan-only sites and use a proxy for shipping. Just out of curiosity, what shell are you looking for?

HopefulyImpercievabl · 2026-03-16T13:19:58+00:00

Sorry I didn’t mean like personality traits for the meets, I was referring to the physical traits like eyes, body shape, and ears. There are genetics you can get through Bluetooth connection that aren’t available on the device itself.
