What Is It?
The V4 added genuine life-sim depth: your Tamagotchi goes to school as a child or teen and to work as an adult. You pick a teacher at the teenage stage and train Intelligence, Style, or Kindness points through mini-games, which shape which adult it becomes.
Key Features
- School and career systems.
- Skill points (Intelligence / Style / Kindness) that influence evolution.
- A large ball at the end of the antenna identifies a V4.
Is It Worth Getting Today?
For players who want more depth. The V4 is the most involved early-Connection device, with the skill system rewarding attentive care. A step up in complexity from V1–V3.
