Tamagotchi Connection Version 5

Released November 2007

The Tamagotchi Connection V5, commonly referred to as the Familitchi, was the first Tamagotchi to feature raising more than one generation at the same time. This is the first version of the Tamagotchi Connection to feature different antenna shapes between the Western and Japanese equivalents; the Western models have a chimney-like antenna, while there is a padlock design on the Japanese shells. The Connection V5 and the Famitama are virtually identical outside of language and shell design.

North American shells feature the usual O-ring keychain, European shells have a ball keychain with a character charm, and Asia/Pacific shells have a key opposite the chimney antenna. Famitamas have a key attached to the padlock.
