How to Pause a Tamagotchi Pix
Life moves fast, and you might not always be able to attend to your Tamagotchi Pix, so how can you pause it? Let's explore the options you have when life gets the best of us. The Pix appears to have only one pause method available, and it works well.
Sitter - This is typically our go-to method. Use your smartphone and select the “Sitter” option. From there the sitter, Sitter Poketchi, will ring the doorbell and inform you that it costs 100 Gotchi per Tamagotchi to watch over your Tamagotchi while you’re away. While being cared for by the sitter, your Tamagotchi will retain its hungry and happy meter levels and not get sick. The sitter option is available between the hours of 7:00AM to 6:55PM. Once 6:55PM hits, the sitter will leave and your Tamagotchi is on its own.
Other pause methods on previous Tamagotchi’s do not work on the Tamagotchi, this includes the time set screen where you pretend to edit the time for hours on end. Once the screen times out, you wake up the Pix using the top shutter button, which makes the wakeup screen appear, and it always resets back to the living space. Tamagotchi On users also enjoy connecting to the application for hours on end to preserve their Tamagotchi's health while away, but this type of connectivity does not exist on the Pix.
We also tried sending our Tamagotchi off to a playdate and keeping the Tama Code on the screen, which didn’t work too well as your Tamagotchi will return after a few minutes. You could pull the batteries from your Tamagotchi Pix everyday to deactivate it, and then pop the batteries back in and download your data bu this isn’t technically a true pause. You might also want to consider constantly changing your time so that your Tamagotchi is sleeping while you’re away, and awake when you get back, this technically is not a pause either as the Tamagotchi will continue to grow.
It looks like your only option for pausing the Tamagotchi Pix is the sitter, and it’ll cost you but with that said it’s a solid option and does take good care of your Tamagotchi until 6:55PM.
