I honestly thought they were created just to compete with Pokémon

TIL that Tamagotchi was intended to only be for girls.

Yeah that was apparently the original intentions of BANDAI.

Looking back now, the ads I remember watching on Disney Channel for Tamagotchi really did only have girls in them. I never realized that til now.

I think the thought process was probably like "girls like cutesy wootsy little characters! Boys like monsters that'll fight each other!"

Caring for a creature to keep it alive? That’s girl stuff 💅

If they didn't want boys playing with them, they shouldn't have made them poop.
