Tamagotchi Advance

The Tamagotchi Advance (たまごっちアドバンス) is an Tamagotchi virtual pet that was released by Bandai on June 19, 2022 internationally, including North America and Europe, and on September 10, 2022 (Lovelitchi's birthday) in Japan, with six shell colors coming out (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Purple). 
Unlike most Tamagotchi Virtual Pets, the Advance is marketed towards an older audience, such as teenagers and young adults, as opposed to the pre-teen and children demographic most Tamagotchi are aimed at. 
Two licensed variants were announced on June 1, 2022, based on Sanrio characters and Mario, with both variants coming out on September 3, 2022. On June 2, 2022, Bandai hinted at another licensed variant, with a poll containing Kirby, Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and DC Comics being released on June 5, 2022.
== Origins ==
The Tamagotchi Advance's origins were first seen as an April Fool's day joke seen on Fox-owned stations (WTTG, WNYW, WFLD, WAGA, KRIV, etc) during an afternoon newscast where one weather news had their images replaced by Tamagotchi sprites (similar to the ones found on the Connection era) and one found on Wednesday (April 6) had a blurred Tamagotchi. 
Cartoon Network had a similar thing occurring, where an episode of Teen Titans Go! was tweaked by Mametchi, holding a wooden sign with the words "TAMAGOTCHI ADVANCE" appearing on the bottom of the screen for intervals every few seconds. 
Twenty days later on April 20, the Tamagotchi Advance was announced and was said to be made in secret since the release of the Tamagotchi Smart. 36 (adult) Tamagotchi were originally planned to be raisable, with four babies and six toddlers and teens being confirmed (similar to the iD L). Six new adult stages also have been confirmed, along with six new “special adult” stages. 
== Appearance ==
TBA
== Confirmed Tamagotchi ==
Newcomers include (but aren’t limited to) two females (Slimetchi and Chibiwatchi) and two males (Teardroptchi and Drawbrushtchi). Before May 1, 2022, 15 females and 13 males have been revealed. The newcomers are set to debut in Tamagotchi! Adventures, with two new Tamagotchi being revealed as mystery Tamagotchi and debuting in Adventures of the Rainbow Princesses (which were revealed to be two plant Tamagotchi named Virsiktchi (male) and Tropmotchi (female), both are confirmed to be siblings) episode "Garden Cleaners".
On May 1, 2022, more adults were confirmed on the Japanese Tamagotchi Twitter page. On May 6, 2022, the entire roster was leaked via a poor quality growth chart containing all the raiseable pets (non-adult stages included), before being taken down by Bandai. There are four groups (two for baby).
On May 10, 2022, the entire roster was officially revealed, complete with growth conditions. Prior to that, on the same day, six new “special adults”, special Tamagotchi that can only be obtained if certain conditions are met, were revealed, also revealing what couples they were tied to, as well as 
revealing them to be the six children characters who first appeared in the Adventures of the Rainbow Princesses episode “Mysterious! A Twist in Time”.

=== Special Adults ===
These Tamagotchi can only be obtained under certain conditions, and will further evolve from a baby stage Tamagotchi if they were born under those conditions (skipping the toddler and teen stages), which also depends on what they hatched as. Once a Tamagotchi reaches this stage, their siblings (if they have any) will appear and also become raisable. The special adult stage Tamagotchi obtained depends on the child that’s born. Only six special adults appear in total, each one tied to three different couples.
====Male====
* TBA
====Female====
* Chamelintchi TBA
* Sparklitchi (marry Righttchi and Kiraritchi; she’s the only special adult stage Tamagotchi without a sibling, so no matter what, their child will always be Ponytailtchi, who will evolve into Sparklitchi)
* Bobaitchi (Connect With Any Tamagotchi 3 Times As Any Female Teen Their Teen Will Be Kisstchi Who Will Evolve To Bobaitchi)
== Trivia ==
* The Tamagotchi Advance has the largest roster of any known Tamagotchi release, with a grand total of 74 pets.
* The concept of the special adult stages is similar to the Tamagotchi Connection series’ concept of marrying a specific Tamagotchi with their opposite gender counterpart, causing them to evolve into a parent stage, and creating a family. Unlike the Connection series however, the married Tamagotchi do not evolve, and only give birth to one child, though any siblings the special adult stage has will appear once the child evolves into that stage.
* The Tamagotchi Advance is the first North American version to feature Tamamori, with Moriritchi acting as the Tamagotchi who gives it to you.
* If one were to attempt having Mametchi "marry" Lovelitchi, she would simply refuse every time (saying Mametchi is just a friend).
