The results are in!  Violetchi (North America) and Sukatchi (Asia/Oceania) have mated earlier today and have produced their offspring.

For this momentous occasion, I've captured the entire process and uploaded it on Youtube for your enjoyment.

In case you aren't aware of the experiment, this will test which mating process is more dominant.  Will breeding two Tamagotchis that normally produce a pure family (Violetchi and Sukatchi at 100% bond) be negated by the fact that they come from different regions?  Read more about the experiment's background here.

So make your guess (will they become a Space Family or Violet Family?), click the play button, and watch the coverage!

I have two V5 Tamagotchis, both will be of mating age by tomorrow.

In these two tamagotchis we have a Sukatchi (in the fuschia one) and a Violetchi (in the cotton candy one). Both are now at 100% bonds.

Normally, when a Violetchi and a Sukatchi mate with 100% bond, it produces a special family called the Violet family. The Violetchi will turn into a Mamavioletchi, while the Sukatchi will turn into a Papakizatchi. They will then produce two eggs that will hatch into a mimifuwatchi and a omututchi. Eventually, the mimifuwatchi will evolve into Violetchi (adult) while the omututchi will turn into a Kizatchi (toddler/teen), thus completing this special family.

However, the two tamagotchis I have are of different regions. One is made in Asia/Oceania, while the other one is in North America. Normally, when mating V5 tamagotchis from different regions, they produce a special blended family. They will only produce one egg that will hatch into an Iwatchi, the baby of the "space family". It will evolve into a Hoshitchi during the toddler stage, Mikazukitchi during the teen stage and Sunnytchi during the adult stage.

Now, here is what will be tested. Will mating a Violetchi and a Sukatchi with 100% bond from 2 tamagotchis of different regions produce a Violet Family or a Space Family? Will we be getting a Omututchi and a Mimifuwatchi or an Iwatchi?

We will soon know.

For the 18-in-all-stats experiment, we have brothers Ryder and Rygar.  Interestingly, Ryder took Ohana's universal path and turned into a Pyontitchi (the male version of the Pyonkotchi0 while his brother, Rygar, turned into a regular character in the form of Togetchi.

Since it's possible to have a regular character with 18-in-all-stats, we must then do more experiments until we find out the required minimum number of points needed to avoid getting an universal character.

I'm beginning to think that any amount of points can produce a regular character, but the lower they are, the lower the probability of your tamagotchi turning into one.

The experiment goes on!

So here's our 19-in-all-stats tamagotchi Ryana.  Since she successfully evolved today into a regular character in mimitchi, our experiment has 19 as its minimum amount of skill points.

We will have a couple of tests with 18-in-all-stats tamagotchis to determine if the result gotten with Ohana can be duplicated.  If we can manage to turn a tamagotchi into a regular character with 18 or possibly even lower, then this experiment will continue.

Morning of Day 6 Stats:

Happy: 4
Hungry: 4
Intelligence (Pencil): 450
Fashion (Star): 0
Kindness (Flower): 0
Training: 9/9
Weight: 33 Lbs
Age: 4

After feeding him a single +1 intelligence ice cream, Djanz the Mametchi finally reached the 450 intelligence mark at age 4.  Ten seconds later, he transformed into a Tensaitchi, making the "Race to 450 anew" experiment a success!

This experiment proves that:
- you can only have one stat filled and still have your tamagotchi turn into a special character (provided of course that you have the right teen and gender to do it)
- 450 is the least number of points you need for the special character evolution.
- my first "Race to 450" experiment failed because my character became too old for it to evolve into a special character.

End of Day 5 Stats:

I know.  I came up short by one intelligence point to reach 450.  I was trying to reach that beloved 450 that night by completing several Shape games.  After a while, Djanz refused to play Shape anymore.  I got out of the game mode and Djanz went to sleep.  Yes, his weight (31 lbs) didn't allow him to play Shape anymore as a perfect game will make his weight go below a Mametchi's base weight of 30.

I don't want to wake him up anymore by changing the time just to get the final point, so I'll have to get that solitary point in the morning by giving him the +1 intelligence ice cream.

End of Day 4 Stats:

Saturday really paid off as I found enough time to feed Djanz a combination of fish, ice cream and omelettes (all guaranteed to increase intelligence of the tamagotchi in V4), play shape and complete Mr. Turtlepedia's classes. 

Djanz gained a total of 96 intelligence points today, just 138 more to go in order to reach the big four-five-zero!

End of Day 3 Stats:

I still found it hard to find time to play with Djanz last Friday, but at least I've managed to gain 67 intelligence points this time around, higher than the 45 in the last post.  With the weekend coming up, hopefully Saturday and Sunday will be more than enough to make a mad rush to the 450 finish line!
