Pocket Usapiyo Evatchi Demon Slayer Tamagotchi
This article is about a Japanese Tamagotchi release.
Demon Slayer Tamagotchi Evatchi TBA
This article is about an English Tamagotchi release.

The Evatchi (エヴァっち) (에바치 in Korean), also known as the General-Purpose Egg-Type Battle Weapon Evatchi (汎用卵型決戦兵器 エヴァっち) (범용 난형 결전병기 에바치) is a licensed variant of the Tamagotchi Nano based on the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. It was released in Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong on June 13th, 2020.

It is set to be released in the United States on June 1, 2021. It will retain its original Japanese design, packaging and programming, with English instructions available on Bandai's official site.

Design

The Evatchi uses a new ball chain similar to that of the Pac-Man Tamagotchi, but the chain length is smaller and the balls are bigger, making it the same length as previous Nano ball chains. The front of the Evatchi retains the same molding used on previous Nano models, instead of the new one featured on the Pac-Man Tamagotchi.

Functions

After the clock is set, a screen showing the Second Impact will appear for several seconds before the fetus Angel hatches from its bakelite container. There are four growth stages: baby, cocoon, adult and special. It will stay as a baby for 24 hours before evolving into a cocoon, and the cocoon will be able to evolve to the adult stage three hours later when the A button is pressed. If the adult Angel reaches the conditions for a special evolution within 72 hours, it will become a cocoon again and then evolve into the special character; otherwise, it will depart on its own.

There are no on-screen icons, and therefore all information is conveyed through the screen and buttons. If the Angel needs something, the user can press the C button for an animation to see what it needs. If the Angel shows a dizzy emote, it's hungry; if it shows a scowling emote, it's unhappy. If both Hungry and Happy meters are partially filled, it will perform a happy animation. If the Happy meter is full and the Hungry meter is not empty, it will perform a Close Up.

Pressing the A button opens the main menu, with the options to feed or to play the games. The meal is an S² Engine, and the snack is a watermelon. When the Angel is asleep, pressing the A button brings up the Lights On/Off menu. The baby stage sleeps at 8 PM, the adult stage sleeps at 10 PM, and both stages wake up at 7 AM.

Cocoon

After 24 hours, the baby will evolve into a Cocoon. During this time, the user will not be able to feed it, play games, or check the status, only switch to the clock and turn the sound on and off. After three hours, the evolution noise will play and the cocoon will stop wiggling. If the user presses the A button, the cocoon will evolve into its next growth stage. Waiting longer periods of time to evolve it will alter which Angel it becomes. It will become a cocoon a second time if an adult Angel reaches conditions necessary for a special evolution, similar to the requirements to obtain Helmetchi in Mori de Hakken! Tamagotch.

Games

There are two games, referred to as "Simulations".

  • Battle Training involves moving a platform to avoid the falling spears, which may be either the Spear of Longinus or an N2 Bomb, cycling from game to game. Pressing A moves the platform left, and B moves the platform right. The weapon must be dodged ten times to win a perfect game.
  • Target Switch (目標をセンターに入れてスイッチ) involves two shapes (one of a triangle, the other of three lines) that will move around the screen, and the user must press the A or B button to stop when the two symbols completely and evenly overlap each other. Pressing too soon or not pressing at the right time counts as a point lost. The symbols must be lined up five times to win a perfect game.

LCL Cleaning

Throughout the day, the LCL around the Angel will get dirty. Pressing the A button will clean it. The longer the user waits to clean it, the more dirty the LCL will become. The user will not be able to feed or play games until the LCL is cleaned.

A.T. Field

Similar to sulking seen on previous Nano models, if the Angel is neglected for a long period of time, it will put up an A.T. Field around itself. The user can coax it out by pressing the A button. While the Angel has the A.T. Field up, the user can't feed it or play the games, but can still check the clock, turn the sound on and off, and check needs with the C button.

Daily Events

Every hour, normally at XX:30, animations of various other characters from the Evangelion franchise will appear. Pressing any button will trigger the animation to end, with some showing an additional screen before closing. The animations appear daily, unless the Angel is in the cocoon stage. Raising certain characters causes additional animations to appear at 3 PM.

Death and Departure

The Evatchi has two known ending sequences:

  • If the user maintains good care and makes enough care mistakes, the Angel will depart on its own and trigger the Third Impact, leaving a black screen with the message "おめでとう" (Congrats).
  • If the user neglects the Angel and fails to coax it out of its A.T. Field, it will be killed by NERV, leaving an image of a giant cross explosion. The animation differs slightly between each Angel, showing which character from the series killed it just before the explosion.

In both instances, pressing A and C together will trigger a new fetus to appear.

Trivia

  • The release of the Evatchi was meant to be correlated with the release of the Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time film, but the film's release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • This is the third Tamagotchi produced to be based on an anime, the first being the Doraemontchi and the second being the Oden-Kun Tamagotchi.
  • One of the production companies behind Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tatsunoko Production, is 20% owned by Takara Tomy, Bandai's main competitor in Japan. This marks Tamagotchi's first crossover with a franchise owned by a competitor, even if it's only partial.
  • The Evatchi has the largest roster of any Nano model, with fourteen adults and at least seven secret characters. Including the baby and cocoon stages, this gives it a total of at least 23 characters.
  • The Evatchi is the first Nano model for a number of things:
    • It is the first to be released in Korea.
    • It is the first to be based on an anime.
    • It is the first not to feature animations at 10 AM, 2 PM, or 6 PM.
    • It is the first Nano to feature the cocoon stage, and the first Tamagotchi since the vintage era to feature it. It was last featured on the Mori de Hakken! Tamagotch.
    • It is the first Japanese model to feature more than two growth stages, and second overall to feature at least three after the Pac-Man Tamagotchi.
  • The Evatchi borrows several features from previous Nano models:
  • Several interface screens, including the clock screen, sound menu, and lights on/off menu, are thematically changed to reflect the Evangelion theme. When the lights are off, instead of showing a black screen with a floating "Z", the screen shows NERV's headquarters.
