Regional Differences[]
Title Card[]
The Japanese opening sequence features a CGI Tamagotchi Planet, rotating quickly as the screen zooms away, and the title appears. Then the cast appears and shouts the show's title, and Kuchipatchi falls and lands on the title and says "dacchi".
In the English dub, it borrows the opening sequence from a preview of Tamagotchi: The Movie, a realistic Tamagotchi Planet, facing away from the screen, zooms in. A satellite flies by, and the screen rotates to reveal an animated version of the Planet. The letters of the title fall into place, and the cast appears, doing the same actions from the Japanese opening.
Cuts and Changes[]
- In the Japanese version of "Perfect in the Morning! Tamagotchi School", when the flower vase is about to fall, Flowertchi screams "No!". In the English version, she just screams.
- Zukyutchi's line of "Zukyun!" when throwing the basketball in the hoop in the Japanese version is replaced by Kuchipatchi saying "Nice shot-tchi!" in the English version
- The original version of "Gotchi King Doesn't Laugh?!" featured jokes that were focused on Japanese puns that couldn't be directly translated into English.
- A scene of Oyajitchi wandering through Tamagotchi Town while drunk was cut from "The Secret of Tamagotchi Town" in the English version.
- All of the buildings are male and have deep voices in the original version while some of the building are female in the English version.
- Zukyutchi's line of "Zukyun!" is replaced with him saying "Go!" instead.
- Violetchi, despite having gone through many name changes in the U.S., retains her original Japanese name Flowertchi in the dub.
