I want the same toys but less loud and needy. 😭I loved Furby and tamagotchi too, but I wanted them to bring some of the stuff from those digimon pets they had way back in the 90s. Let me make tamagotchis fight!
Tangent here: Not sure if you’ve seen Owl House, [https://64.media.tumblr.com/81a4345c30c8c3e9a14c8b981f4a36de/470a73424ef059ec-5e/s1280x1920/fcccd5b89485fc0e51585d25388e1c216df08bb3.png](but they show a tamagotchi-like device in the second season ) where you can send little pictograph messages to your friends and WHAT I’D GIVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. It reminded me a bit of Pictochat on the DS. But I know any device that was made would be pretty expensive since it would need wireless even if it wasn’t internet-connected. So that means it’d have a high resolution screen to justify the price, which would make it more expensive, then thicker for bigger batteries. It just doesn’t seem realistic or even something I’d want in the end with all the upgrades.
I do really miss little devices with low resolution displays. A lot of charm goes away for me when you don’t have to use your imagination at all- same with furbies that speak in clear english. There’s SO much room for expanding on the ideas of furbies and tamagotchis that hasn’t been explored, but unfortunately, I’m not sure if that’ll ever actually exist until a group of nerds get together and makes it happen. Being able to fight and collect things and have actual permanence in the game without babying the digital pet constantly would be amazing!
