Flowergotchi

The Flowergotchi, officially known as the Flowergotchi by Tamagotchi, and known in Japan as the Tamagotchi Hana (たまごっち花), is a fan-made Tamagotchi virtual pet with a release date of September 19, 2020 in Japan and North American early access, November 23, 2020 in North America as a full release, March 11, 2021 in the UK and Europe, April 1, 2021 in Korea and Australia, and May 9, 2021 in China and Africa.
A new version, known as the Flowergotchi Ultimate, or the Tamagotchi Chou Hana (たまごっち超花) came out on November 23, 2022, with the entire growth chart already revealed by Bandai on the Japanese Tamagotchi Twitter account. A cheaper alternative (based on the Connection models, but with Game Boy Color-styled graphics), known as the Flowergotchi Lite, or the Tamagotchi Hana Chibi, was released on September 2, 2022.
== Appearance ==
The Flowergotchi bears a resemblance to the original Digimon Virtual Pets with a rectangular brick-like shape, a large backlit color screen on the right, and on the left side, it features a Flower with four buttons as opposed to the three most Tamagotchi pets have. 
The buttons are designed in a way comparable to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System/Super Famicom, and much like its JP/EU version, features colors for each button. A is Red, B is Blue, X is Yellow and Y is green. The pet also features a slot on top of the flower where "Flower Cards' are inserted. On the back of the pet, there is a button if pushed will open a battery compartment where it takes one AA battery. It lasts for about 21 days. 
== Features ==
=== Internet Interactivity ===
The Flowergotchi has the unique feature to connect to the internet to receive a limited-time item or characters. If connected to a certain wi-fi connection, such as a specific location, then you are able to receive more events.
=== Favorite foods ===
Pets raised in the Flowergotchi have the ability to have "all-time" favorite or least favorite foods. Foods found in the neutral group will fall in these and Tamagotchis raised in it will have a unique reaction to them. Feeding them a favorite food causes them to dance around all happily while doing it to their least favorite will cause their eyes to turn red (or for Musweetchi's case, white) and they get angry.
=== Natures ===
Natures are another feature added in the Flowergotchi. In the pet, there are eight natures with each one having a different care style. They are:
* Kind - Chances of giving other Tamagotchi gifts are slightly increased.
* Cautious - Becomes aware of their surroundings. When disciplined over something wrong they did, then they will no longer do it. However, sometimes cautious pets will reject something out of fear.
* Energetic - Tamagotchi with this nature will have their happiness bars decrease slower than other natures. They sleep 30 minutes later than usual and wake up an hour earlier. They loose weight overnight. They also have a tendency to develop insomnia or have strong outbursts.
* Cool - Tamagotchi with this nature tend to have an interest in sports or passion. They get irritated more often if they aren't allowed to do something and often thrash about if they don't exercise enough.
* Laid-Back - Tamagotchi with this nature are easily relaxed and rarely get irritated over something.
* Stubborn (Cranky in EU) - These Tamagotchi often want do do only one thing and will do anything for it. Even if they have to be mean to other Tamagotchi.
* Clown (Idiotic in Japan) - Tamagotchi with this nature are often the joking ones and tend to act very irritable to most Tamagotchi. They are also prone to most mistakes as well. Making them the hardest to take care of.
* Evil (Prankster in Japan) - The direct opposite of the Kind nature. Evil Tamagotchi love to upset and bully other Tamagotchi. Kind, Cautious, and Energetic cry, Cool, Stubborn, and Clown get angry, and Laid-back tend to be unaffected by the deeds of Evil Tamagotchi.

It is open from 7 AM to 5 PM from Mondays to Fridays. Over the weekend, selecting this option will instead cause them to watch a cartoon. Children watch a Sesame Street-type show called Pepperoni Plaza while teens watch a show that resembles the Tamagotchi anime, but the creatures in the show appear look similar to Digimon.
* Second-Hand Store - A place where you can sell and buy used items. Comparable to the Re-tail store from Animal Crossing, it is open from 9 AM to 8 PM.
* Tamapark - The park. Unlike other stores, it is available for 24 hours and you can meet any Tamagotchi at the location.
* The Stations Area - The stations area comprises of five stations you can visit. Three fictional stations and two real-life stations.

During the night, YUME-TV merges with the other four stations at midnight as Dreambakus invade the stations. Entering KTLA's station can allow a Tamagotchi to become a Henshin Jo with the right nature.
* Dating Palace - A castle-like area where adults can marry other Tamagotchi. it is unlocked when your Tamagotchi becomes an adult and is open from 9 AM to 10 PM on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
