Tamagotchi no Pichi Pichi Omisetchi (たまごっちのピチピチおみせっち) is a Japanese-exclusive Tamagotchi game jointly developed by Bandai Namco Studios, NanaOn-Sha, and Paon, and published by Bandai Namco Games (under the Bandai label) for the Nintendo DS. It was released in June 2010. It is the fifth game in the Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop game series and the first to have 3D style gameplay and graphics, as well as the first to be based on the anime series.
Story[]
Mametchi, Memetchi, Kuchipatchi, and Lovelitchi win a trip to Pichi Pichi Island from a lottery taking place at the Tamagotchi Department Store. They take a guided tour on the island, but are left stuck on the island after Kuchipatchi loses the tickets for the return trip home.
Pichiokatchi then steps in and says they can earn the money for the return tickets by working at the various shops on the island, offering them a place to stay in the meantime. After hearing Pichokatchi's story about how Pichi Pichi Island lacks help for their stores, the four Tamagotchi resolve to help out everyone and earn enough money to return home.
As the game progresses, the island residents start worrying about their crops disappearing and less fish being found in the ocean. The residents suspect that a monster is in the ocean scaring all the fish away and in the climax, the four Tamagotchi plus Senpaitchi go out in Otototchi's boat to catch the monster. In the process, Kuchipatchi is accidentally knocked overboard and learns from an octopus that the fish are disappearing because of overfishing. After the monster, who is revealed to be a giant crab, is caught, Kuchipatchi delivers the octopus's message to everyone on the island.
Senpaitchi then reveals his true identity as Kaizokutchi the pirate. He initially came to the island and had been stealing fish and vegetables from the shop owners so he could sell them for a profit. Because he stole so much, the number of fish and vegetables had decreased. Kaizokutchi apologizes for all the trouble he caused and admits that everyone being so friendly and hardworking had caused him to regret his actions. He decides to work hard for real and takes Mametchi, Memetchi, Kuchipatchi, and Lovelitchi back home to Tamagotchi Town on his pirate ship.
Gameplay[]
Choosing from one of the four main characters from the Tamagotchi! anime, players can start after the introduction. Like previous games, the main objective of the game is to work in various shops with a chosen Tamagotchi partner until they are fully upgraded. The shops will upgrade and become more difficult after several customers. More shops and games, as well as new locations on Pichi Pichi Island, are unlocked as the player progresses. New to the series, the game introduces an ingredient mechanic where the player can buy and grow ingredients to restock certain shops.
The game allows the player to fully walk around Pichi Pichi Island by controlling their Tamagotchi. The Tamagotchi can talk to various NPCs around the island and begin work in a shop by talking to the shop's owner. Unlike the two previous Corner Shop games, players cannot freely switch between different partners until the game is completed.

Trivia[]
- Two episodes of the Tamagotchi! anime series were based on the game: "Pichipichi Island! Gotchi Battle" and "Work in a Shoptchi! Pichi". The episodes featured the four main playable characters visiting Pichi Pichi Island to film a TV special for TAMAX-TV. Differing from the game, the characters are forced to stay on the island because Kuchipatchi had eaten too much food and must now work back the cost of all the food he ate.
- Lovelitchi replaces Violetchi's role as a playable character from previous games in the series.
- This is the first game in the series to not have the player themself as a character involved in the game's story. The player is not mentioned in the game's cutscenes and the Tamagotchi the player chooses to control does not directly talk to them, only addressing the customer and other NPCs.
