If Tamagotchi Connection cannot find a partner to have tamababies with, a matchmaker will come, allowing the tamagotchi to have a tamababy with a computer-controlled Tamagotchi character. This applies to versions 1 to 4 and 6 only, on version 5 there is a Dating Show which the user must access to gain a CPU partner. Tamagotchi character must be an adult.

Versions

Depending on the version of Tamagotchi Connection, the Tamagotchi will do different things.

If Tamagotchi Connections are different versions, they can still connect. For example, versions 1 to 4 can all connect with each other, and so can 5 and 6. The Tamagotchi will transform into a replacement mystery character, known as Nazotchi (translation: secret Tamagotchi), during connection. The rules for Tamagotchi Connection V1 will apply.

Tamagotchi Connection Version 5 Familitchi(2008)

This Tamagotchi is the next Tamagotchi in the Tamagotchi Connection Series. Its motto, according to the package, is "We are Familitchi!" as in the song "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge, and according to Tamatown the motto is "More Family, More Fun!" The V5, as it is called colloquially, is the English version of the FamiTama and is the first Tamagotchi to be exactly the same (besides language) in Japan and elsewhere, since the Tamagotchi Plus. It was released in Asia on 6 January 2008, Australia on 10 January 2008 and was released elsewhere later in February 2008. A new feature is that you can raise Tamagotchi Families, with 3-5 parents and kids on it. There is, however, a design flaw which prevents it from connecting to the other Tamagotchis in the series. It also has a new website that it shares with the Famitama, the "Tama and Earth Expo". According to the package, Bandai quotes, "The Tamagotchis set up this expo to learn more about Earth." It contains a central pavilion, and 4 other pavilions representing each of the main areas of the Earth. It also included a TV option where the player can use Gotchi Points to shop on the Shopping Channel, find a mate with the Dating Show, or go travelling on the Travelling Show. The Travelling Show is the V5 variation of the pause mode.

Differences from previous versions

Tamagotchi Connection Version 6 Music Star

Every Tamagotchi Music Star Toy includes a guitar pick with a code for Tamatown on it.
