On Virtual Pets[]
Keitai Kaitsuu! Tamagotchi Plus/Akai[]
The user must first raise a Violetchi (Ribotchi on the Akai) and have it marry a Mametchi, either through the Matchmaker or by connecting. The resulting baby must be raised into a Young Mametchi, who should then become a Dorotchi (Tengutchi on the Akai), who will evolve into Paparatchi in three days, if good care is maintained and no care mistakes happen. Its exclusive item is the Camera.
Tamagotchi Connection Version 3[]
Paparatchi is one of three possible adults that can be obtained by taking average care of a teen on odd generations, the other two being Mimiyoritchi and Tarakotchi.
Tamagotchi Connection Version 5 Celebrity[]
Paparatchi appears as a neglect-exclusive character who can evolve from any adult who had 3 calls missed for empty happiness hearts (the parents will evolve into Scooptchi). If a Paparatchi marries, it will evolve into Scooptchi. Paparatchi can be reverted back to its previous form either by eating Caramel Candy, or using the Three-Way Mirror. Both male and female Paparatchi have the same default animations, but have unique Close Ups.
