Q&A for How to Make Your Tamagotchi Grow

The Tamagotchi dies to show your mistakes of neglect. It is meant to make it more realistic and teach kids what might happen if they don't take care of their real pets.

A tamagotchi will only take naps as a baby, and sometimes does this just to evolve into a child.

One way to train your Tamagotchi is to take it to the toilet just before it is about to poop (which is when you see "stink lines" above its head and it looks like it's wiggling). Another way is if your Tamagotchi calls you and it doesn't need anything; click Time Out, which is one of the options when you select the symbol that looks like Pac-Man. The final way to train your Tamagotchi is when it looks sad or is crying. You need to go to the Pac-Man symbol and then click on Praise. Your Tamagotchi will instantly cheer up, and all three of these methods will increase the training meter by a few bars. The training bar will never go down over time.

The jump rope game in the Tamagotchi play section only requires you to jump (using the b button) before the rope hits the feet of your character.

It grows over time. Just take care of it; in about 2 days it'll be a healthy happy adult being.

After your take good care of it in the child stage, the Tamagotchi will become a teen in about a day or so. However, how long it actually takes depends on the version.

If your Tamagotchi cries, check your hearts to see if it is healthy or needs food. Otherwise, giving your Tamagotchi praise will help it calm down.

What kind? This one lives as long as you take care of it, but there are different versions.

It takes 24 hours for your Tamagotchi to age 1 year, so it will take 4-5 days for your Tamagotchi to become an adult. This only applies if you don't pause it, as the 24 hours is accumulated from time it has been un-paused.

Play games with the Tamagotchi, as playing a game usually yields losing 1 pound. Jump rope is a great example of this: Jump 6 times and lose 1 pound, 16 to lose 2 pounds, and 30 to lose 3 pounds!

Babies sleep for about 5 minutes, and the others will sleep at about 8:00 or 9:00 PM and wake up at 8:00 or 9:00 AM.

It starts in an egg and hatches after 5 minutes; then it will make a beeping sound to get your attention.

All you can do is wait. It sucks, but that is all you can do.

Be patient. Tamas take some time to grow. Try spending more time with it. Try also playing with it more and giving it more sleep.
