Assorted vpet died

My Digimon died so now I'm raising Hackmon and that cutie on the right

Got Pochitchi again which is hilarious because apparently he's very hard to get???

Be-bit (power palz) randomly died because of a weird glitch where his age and meters all got screwed up?? And as he died an ear piercing sound played, the same sound I managed to completely ignore the first time around.

And the funny thing about this is that the be-bit cannot be put on mute. The manual doesn't say anything, and I have tried any button combination to no avail.

Ah, you can't change the clock either. Those seem like really weird design flaws to me tbh. Esp for a vpet that makes you have a mini heart attack as it dies XD wtf

I have Agumon and Gabumon on my Digimon

They zzzz

I got Pochitchi on my Tamagotchi

I wanted Mimitchi because it was the only one I knew beforehand, but this guy is cute too!

And the be-bit...

Is still a be-bit.

But it seems to be the easier to take care of, so far!

the same time as the Tamagotchi connection v3) and they're still way less aggravating and way more interacting than the be-bit.

This thing has glitches, a crappy case that doesn't make good contact with the batteries, died on me at random (which sucks only because I was thinking on showing how it plays on video eventually) and i won't even miss it.

The only problem it caused by dying on me is that i wanted to pull the still good batteries out but the screw. Oh my god, the screw. I've lost two hours of my life in order to unscrew it.

It just wouldn't turn! It was hell.

So uh back in 2004 the vpet craze was back in italy and we italian kids argued all the time which one was better: the be-bit or the Tamagotchi (which was the connection v3, may i remind you)

The Tamagotchi is better. But not just a Tamagotchi model in particular, no, EVERY single Tamagotchi is better. Even the Tamagotchi mini, with it's bare minimum of interaction, is better than this thing.

Anyway if i ever manage to make it work again for a video, that would be good (but i would need another be-bit to showcase the breeding mechanic, but i have no intention of getting another one) but playing it it's a completely joyless experience and dealing with the aftermath is even worse.

Be-bit is knows as powerpalz in english, and you're not missing out on anything, believe me.

Vegimon evolved into Vademon!

Righttchi married and had a baby

And the be-bit, which is apparently called power palz in america... Died of old age.

It's annoying that you have to manually reset the be-bit to play again if your pet dies. Also you can't put the thing on mute as far as I'm aware, so apparently when it died around 3 AM (i was also unaware they could die while sleeping) it made a super sad and super loud music that my sis heard but I didn't. I continued my deep slumber XD

I almost thought of yanking the batteries out cuz i don't know how much I would enjoy playing it again without another device so the two can mate and the game continues on without resetting.

But nobody has a need for button batteries in this house, so I'm gonna play it until they die. /Shrug

I could buy another be-bit, since they're cheap as hell but tbh I don't particularly enjoy them. I like the tamas and Digimon way more.

But they're cute, they're easy and they're cheap, so if I ever want to run the be-bit again, i can easily guy another one and see what new species i can create if they mate XD

And the be-bit is old now
