Mametchi

Not to be confused with Memetchi.
Mametchi (まめっち) is a male Tamagotchi character, and the mascot of the Tamagotchi franchise, who debuted on the original Tamagotchi. Having appeared on most, if not all mainline Tamagotchi Virtual Pets, he is usually obtained via perfect care. 
His birthday is on November 23, the same day that the original Tamagotchi was released in Japan.
==Appearance ==
Mametchi is a light yellow Tamagotchi, with a humanoid-esque physique. He has a large head, with 2 ears that are colored navy blue, along with his forehead. His eyes are dark blue, have sclera, and are round, but not fully circular. His body is small, with short arms and legs. He also has light rosy pink blush marks, which were added in the Connection/Plus era.
===Design Changes===
In Japan, before 2004, his forehead, eyes, and ears were black, and his eyes lacked pupils. 
Internationally, he had a different appearance, with a leaner physique, a light blue head and body, trapezoidal ears, and beady eyes. 
This significantly altered look for him was ditched once the Connection/Plus era began internationally. 
In the anime, beginning in Tamagotchi!: Legend of the Pure Notes, his eyes are slightly larger, and his forehead and ears are a lighter shade of blue. The latter two changes were done to make him “cuter”, according to LotPN's director Seiji Mizushima.
Beginning in Tamagotchi! Superstar Stories, Mametchi gains a casual outfit, consisting of a dark teal shirt with two cyan diagonal stripes, an orange-ish yellow hooded jacket with white spheres on the ends of the pullstrings, a grey jacket with goldenrod pockets and lining on the sleeve sides and ends, as well as on the bottom of the jacket itself, black fingerless gloves, mid blue denim pants with the cuffs on the bottom being a slightly lighter shade of blue, and white shoes with black soles and goldenrod straps.
==Personality ==
Mametchi is a very healthy Tamagotchi who is likely to have a long life. He is extremely clever with an IQ of around 250 (300 according to the Cartoon Network dub of the anime). He is a serious, prodigal type, and one of the smartest Tamagotchi for his age.
His main hobby is creating inventions, and though they will more often than not fail, he will keep on making and improving them. However, he has poor artistic skills, as shown in an episode of Tamagotchi! Superstar Stories.
In addition, he is a big fan of the Gotchiman TV series produced by TAMAX-TV, which has led him to be criticised by a few Tamagotchi for simply liking it, notably Sunopotchi, who is known for his animosity towards Gotchiman. He was also previously tone deaf, which impaired his ability to sing, much to the dismay of his Tama-Friends, until Papapiantchi gave him special singing lessons to cure him of his tone deafness.
The Japanese Tamagotchi Research Report Book describes Mametchi as being extremely serious, well-mannered and very clever; but notes that he is inflexible on some issues.
According to Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 3, and later confirmed in Tamagotchi!: Legend of the Pure Notes, Mametchi once stole some candy when he was younger, revealing that he used to have a mischievous side.
Some sources classify him as a nerd.
==Relationships ==
===Himespetchi===
Himespetchi's defining character trait is her enormous crush on Mametchi. She often has daydreams of her being with a handsomer, deeper-voiced Mametchi known as Ikemen Mametchi, who she visualizes him as.
This crush is one-sided, as Mametchi is oblivious to it, much to her dismay. However, Mametchi has shown a couple of signs of awareness, such as in episode 30 of GO-GO Tamagotchi!, where he offered a dance solely to Himespetchi.
===KuroMametchi===
KuroMametchi and Mametchi have an on-and-off rivalry, mostly off, as they are often seen playing soccer together. In Tamagotchi: The Movie, KuroMametchi stretched Kuchipatchi into a trampoline so Mametchi could land safely from a fall from the No. 1 Tower. Later in the movie, he was the first to shout at Blackholetchi to wake him up and get Mametchi out of his mouth.
===Lovelitchi===
Lovelitchi and Mametchi are on very good terms. They first met in the first episode where Lovelitchi, as Lovelin, briefly interviewed him and other competitors before the big Tama Street race. As revealed through a flashback in the following episode, his selflessness in saving Kuchipatchi before the end of the race was one of the reasons that Lovelitchi decided to move to Tamagotchi Town.
While attending Tamagotchi School, Lovelitchi became close friends with Mametchi and he taught her about the concept of Tama-Friends. Later, Mametchi willingly put his birthday on hold until Lovelitchi finally came hours later, and after she confessed her Lovelin identity, he was quick to forgive her, making her much more confident in the process.
They are also nothing more or nothing less than friends and despite their close friendship, they don't consider it romantic (speaking of, Mametchi has grown VERY tired of people assuming they're a couple).
===Melodytchi===
Although Mametchi and Melodytchi seldomly spend time together, they are still on good terms. Melodytchi has a positive opinion on Mametchi's otherwise-panned painting and singing, and she went to him for advice on a Mother's Day present in episode 78b.
===Pianitchi===
When Pianitchi first arrived in Dream Town, Mametchi delivered a briefcase that she left behind to her. The two quickly introduced themselves, and Pianitchi helped Mametchi figure out the truth behind Ikaritchi's aloofness. After Ikaritchi's departure, Mametchi and Pianitchi lived together at the Music Café for the remainder of Yume Kira Dream as well as Miracle Friends.

===Star Force Mametchi===
Star Force Mametchi, known in Japan as Ryusei no Mametchi (流星のまめっち, lit. Shooting Star Mametchi), first appeared on the Tamagotchi Twitter accounts to commemorate the Mega Man/Rockman series’ 35th anniversary. He is set to appear on the cover of Mega Man x Tamagotchi, an album of arrangements and vocal covers of various Mega Man songs by Tamagotchi characters, including (but not limited to) Lovelitchi/Lovelin, Nekosotchi, Suzunetchi, and even Mametchi himself.
As the name suggests, Star Force Mametchi has Mametchi dressed as the Mega Man Star Force incarnation of Mega Man, also known as Geo Stelar/Subaru Hoshikawa.

==Trivia== 
*In addition to being the mascot of the Tamagotchi franchise, Mametchi is also an unofficial mascot for Bandai in general. A statue of him can be found alongside statues of other characters whose IPs are merchandised by Bandai, outside of their headquarters in Taito, Tokyo.
**Mametchi's statue is unique from the others, as it is given a raincoat in the event of a rainy day (how adorable).
*Early International Tamagotchi media, such as Tamagotchi Video Adventures and Tamagotchi Toons, had him classified as female, but from the Connection era onwards, he has been classified as male.
*He was almost scrapped from the franchise for being “too cute” compared to the rest of the cast - which this argument would later become irrelevant (and ironic) following the premiere of the anime, as well as the release of the Tamagotchi iD and beyond.
