After adulthood

Breeding and generations.

Visible traits can carry to a child, but the child’s adult species is raised anew. Released adults become part of the field.

Breeding

Breed or start clean

Official: hold the zoom dial → HELP → NEW TAMA → BREED. The device offers four NPC partners, so a second device is not required.

Official: HELP → NEW TAMA → NEW EGG starts a new egg and releases the current adult into the field.

Visible genes

Cosmetics carry; species does not

Body colour and eye shape can be inherited. The child’s adult species is determined again by field, Kid food, and Kid + Young care.

Residents

Adults become field life

Released adults use Outside Toys and can join Egg Hunts. The active Tama remains separate and is the only one needing direct care.

Bandai’s manual shows a 10,000 Gotchi Point expansion that doubles released residents and Outside Toys from four to eight.
