Marriage is a feature introduced on the Mesutchi and Osutchi and is present on all Tamagotchi releases since the 2004 reboot. It involves breeding a male and female adult Tamagotchi to produce a new baby.

Any adult Tamagotchi can marry regardless of care mistakes or species, Sutebotchi and Tsuketchi being the exceptions to this. In earlier releases a Tamagotchi could marry after a certain number of days as an adult (excluding through connection). However as of the Tamagotchi m!x a Tamagotchi can now marry as soon as it reaches the adult stage.

Methods for Marriage

The Matchmaker

Once a Tamagotchi grows to a certain age which depends on the release, the Matchmaker (usually Otokitchi) will appear at 10:30 AM, 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM every day. If the user continues to turn down offers by the Matchmaker until it reaches a certain age which also depends on the release, it will evolve into a senior. The Matchmaker will start coming three days after a teen evolves into an adult, and stop coming once it becomes a Senior.

Marriage through Connection

After two Tamagotchis of opposite gender reach the adult stage and have a high enough friendship level, they can marry upon connecting. The female will produce two babies of the same gender and keep one of them, while the other one will be sent to the male parent. On the Mesutchi and Osutchi this is done through interlocking the two pets, while on the later pets it's done through IR. This method enables Oyajitchi and later Grippatchi to be produced through breeding Otokitchi and Ojitchi. Any two Connection Tamagotchis (version 1 to 4.5) can marry, although most Japanese releases only have certain releases with which they are compatible (for instance an Entama cannot breed with a Uratama.)

Dating Show

The Dating Show is exclusive to the Tamagotchi Connection Version 5 and related series. It can only be accessed starting two days after evolution to adults, and can be used three times a day. However, setting the time to between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM and then changing it back counts as a day. Various families can be created through this method, depending on the partners and various other factors.

• Marrying two characters from the same family has a 50% chance of resulting in a named family, with two or fewer eggs; however if characters from two different families are married, the result will always be a blended family, unless the conditions for the Violet Family are met.

• Pure families are created through marrying a character with the opposite gender counterpart and raising bonding to 100%.
  • Mametchi and Chantotchi create the Mame Family.
  • Memetchi and Mumutchi create the Meme Family.
  • Kuchipatchi and Yonepatchi create the Kuchipa Family.
  • Violetchi and Sukatchi, despite being in two different families, create the Violet Family.
  • Prince Tamahiko and Rosetchi or Princess Tamako and Tamastatchi create the Gotchi King Family.

• On English editions, there is a low chance of Planetchi or Jewelboxtchi appearing instead of Otokitchi, who will offer Sunnytchi and Jeweltchi respectively as a partner. Accepting the marriage will result in Sunnytchi and Jeweltchi becoming Planetchi and Jewelbxtchi respectively, and will produce one egg which will hatch into Iwatchi. This is one of two ways to create the Space characters, the other being to marry a Western V5 to a Japanese FamiTama. Since the Space characters are unavailable on the latter, the FamiTama character must be sent to the V5. Since it is from a Japanese FamiTama, it will come up as Nazotchi, who won't evolve into a parent form.

Every character has a parent form which it evolves into upon marriage. If a neglected care family is obtained during a second or subsequent generation the adults and parents will change. While the adults' evolutions can be reversed, the parents' evolutions can not.

Band Marriage

On the Tamagotchi Music Star, it is possible to marry a Tamagotchi to a member of the band.

Date Place

This location was introduced in the Tamagotchi Plus Color and has been on most releases since. Starting from the Tamagotchi iD and with the exception of the TamaTown Tama-Go, the user is required to choose one out of three marriage partners.

On the aforementioned exception release, it is possible to send a Senior character to the date place at any age. Incidentally if the user turns down enough matches eventually Seniors will start appearing. It is not possible to create the special characters this way, however.

The Tamagotchi m!x and onwards introduced a new feature entirely: the user must choose a NPC character from one of eight locations to marry. If the normal ring is used, the friendship level must be high enough or they will refuse. When it is at the highest possible, the character will propose to the user's Tamagotchi. If the diamond ring is used, the character cannot refuse and will accept regardless of the friendship level.

Acrobatchi Marriage

On the Tamagotchi Friends: Dream Town Digital Friend, an easter egg exists where Acrobatchi may offer herself as a marriage partner if Tama Star Circus is visited. The occurance is rare and can also happen if the character is female. It is unclear if this was intended to happen.
