This page contains information and history about the original 1996-97 Tamagotchi, the P1 & P2. Some of these pages are preserved from days of old and some are updated to reflect new and updated information.

I will be doing more updates to some of these pages for clarity purposes and new information, much as I am with other sections of this website. Also there will be re-release Tamagotchi Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 sections soon. Enjoy!
