V1

The tamagotchi V1 was released in 2004 all over the world. It introduced connection through means of infra-red waves. Despite the fact that it was the first tamagotchi released in over 4 years, it was internationally popular! It featured the first gender exclusive tama’s (Excluding the Osu/Mesu), Babytchi (Boy) and Shromibabytchi (Girl). It had 2 baby characters, 2 toddlers, 4 teens, and 8 regular adults. It also had the oldie character’s (Introduced in the Osu/Mesu), and the secret character Ojaitchi (Introduced in the P1). It also introduced the unique feature of debugging. Debugging would allow you to select any character when an egg would hatch (You could even select tama’s that weren’t introduced until the V2, as well as a few unobtainable character’s like Nazotchi). You can find a page detailing debugging here. Note! I am not responsible for any damage done due to debugging. Do it at your own risk!
