For those who don’t remember Tamagotchis, the original was a small, round handheld device on a keychain. The simple game involved raising your own virtual pet, from a little pixelated egg to a little pixelated animal.
If you didn’t care sufficiently for the pet, it would die, represented by a heart-breaking animation showing a gravestone and the spirit of the dead animal flying away. Retrospectively, it was perhaps a bit of a traumatic image for a kids' game.
An AR reboot was launched last year to try to update the game for a new audience. But this latest announcement could be the ultimate crossover to get nostalgic 90s kids back into the simple three-buttoned game. Tamagotchi have teamed up with Pokemon to give us the Eevee Tamagotchi.

Depending on what the Tamagotchi Pokemon wants, you can feed it, play with it, groom it or put it to bed. If you look after it well, it can evolve into one of the eight possible Eeveelutions.
