29:41 HA😈

Omg, for a sec it looked like the thumbnail was of you smoking weed and holding a pregnancy test 😂.

Fun fact about the mobile game, the actual LPS toys that you could buy at the time tended to come with cards, which you could scan and then see that pet in the game

the shutdown Gameloft game was my CHILDHOOD with a C. i would play it every chance i got, and i always wanted to grow my place more and more. caring for them (particularly the ball game) was my favorite part of the whole experience 😭💕

22:15 hi. I’m that 2009 child. I was a child in 2009. This was my favorite game ever as a kid. I can confirm it is DRILLED into my brain.

I'm kind of sad most people gloss over it (although I doubt there's much to cover anyways) but when people talk about LPSO they tend to forget the predecessor LPS VIP which was a different site. By the time I got an LPS VIP the game was completely empty and on the verge of shutting down (in favor of LPSO), but it's really nostalgic to me.

the LPS plug and play was such an integral piece of my childhood. the amount of time i spent playing the minigames especially the bowling and race games was ridiculous lmao. i'm so glad you brought it up 🥺

I never really touched any of these… but as someone who was around in the small and weird LPS 2012 *Tumblr* fandom, what I have REALLY fond memories of is the fangame Vin City. A janky but enjoyable platformer with a bunch of different minigames and funny writing, plus some really cute art and music. It’s tricky to play these days because, y’know, it was a fanmade flash game primarily available on tumblr, but I still make it work every few years to revisit it.

LPSO mentioned- Weirdly, I remember more about the plush than the game.

I remember playing LPS on the hot driveway of my dead granny with a neighbor girl almost everyday. I had a bag full that I gave away, whats a fool I was…

An old friend once had an LPS DS game as a kid and he didn't want to try these pink sunglasses on his cat because they were "too girly". My brother in Christ, you are playing an LPS game.

Shunks you didn't include every LPS game. You forgot about Littlest Pet Shop Your World! It was an app from i belive 2018? for the 5th generation of LPS! I remember playing the minigames and thinking they were pretty fun, but eventually the game got grindy with the collecting of pets and stuff. It's not available anymore from what i can find which is such a shame.

OH THE LITTLE LPS TOMODACHI!!! I had a kitty cat one! I used that thing for HOURS

I'm surprised you forgot to mention LPS Shop Your World. Rather than being a city builder, it was a direct tie in with the TV show. You could scan physical toys into the game, and with time built up floors of the Pet Shop, which you could then customize. There was pet customization and minigames and everything. I remember playing it much more than the Gameloft game as a kid

24:51 my soul lifted from my body. i haven’t heard this song in 10+ years. thank you shunks for consistently unlocking forgotten childhood memories of mine 🙏

Fun fact, whatever sound library the LPS 2008 wii game used, The Eric Andre show also used. I was with some friends while watching Eric Andre when I hear a very familiar music clip. I spent like 10 minutes on a wild goose chase till I found it was the music from the Bubble Bounce game. All my friends thought I was insane for being able to recall such an obscure thing from my childhood. Truth is, I probably clocked 200 hours in that game lol The song is in season 3 episode 2. I'm pretty sure there were other incidences where I heard lps music but that was the first for me

I cant believe LPS online was only online for 3 years?!! Dude those 3 years felt so long! God i miss the heyday of LPS

I had the LPS PDA as a kid. I remember I used to chew on the stylus lol I also remember using it as a replacement for my DS stylus cause I lost it

One of the most fun things about playing the LPS Wii/PC game as a kid was that you could control the pet with both the wasd keys and the arrow keys. at the same time. so me and my sister would fight for dominance

SCREAMING I had some of the story based DS games!!!! They were actually SUPER fun! I miss those games.

hadnt had a single thought about those lps tamagotchi games in like 15 years but im so glad youve forcibly brought them back into my consciousness bc i was once obsessed

I have a very vivid memory of getting invested in the LPS plug and play one rainy New York Summer as a kid. Nothing like sitting inside as it storms out earning coins for my lil TV pet. Also, the editing and pacing on this video is great. I'm only a few minutes in but the edits and memes are very funny. Great work so far Shunks!

IM SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE LITTLE TAMOGACHI THINGS I HAD THREE I LOVED THEMMM I had the one you have, the hamster and the ladybird and the hamster was my favourite. i used to adore them, my parents didnt want me to have a real tamogachi at the time but i loved lps so much i didnt care when i was handed three lps ones for the price of one real tama LOL

Hello! 2004 kid here! I played the LPS PC game (on 11:26) alot as a child. Its a great nostalgia and addicting for me lol

I totally forgot about lps friends. I can clearly hear the weird sound the bear makes in my head. What a fever dream of a game

The DS games and the Gameloft game were my childhood. If I were to make an LPS series, it would definitely have the setting of the second and third DS games! LPS Friends is especially my favorite of the trilogy; I love how it has so many interactive things around the map and the accessories being very customizable. The LPS Gameloft game is partially lost media by the way! There are a few limited pets that still need images and descriptions uploaded online.

As some one who was obsessed with lps as a kid LOVE this dive into the mediocre but nostalgic games but genuinely sad that both you AND izzzyzzz mention lpso but not lps vip!!! (You even show a vip plush at 2:47!) It was the online game that came before lpso and i played it constantly. It was online but not an mmo, it kinda reminded me of something like pet society (or really any other facebook type social game) where you could dress up your pet and room. You could look at other people's rooms but that was about it for the social aspect. Like the console games you had a top down world you would just explore and play mindless mini games. I think there was a basic farming mechanic too?? There were also pets who came with buddies, kinda like lil kinz from webkinz they were smaller but they just followed around the main pet with the actual code. As far as im aware this thing is lost media (i think a few gameplays videos still exist), any one who remembers a browser based lps game thinks of lpso, and i don't blame them lpso was way better but it just always makes me sad how forgotten lps vip is. They still do live on in the some of the best designed lps plushies imo. Also vip stood for virtual online pet and i always thought that was super cute :3

This was such a nostalgic hit to the head for me. I used to play so much LPS games as a kid, especially the DS games. I think I may still have those games. I especially loved the biggest stars and the friends games because they had good minigames (at least I think so-I should replay the game), have a nice plot, and the pets having personalities. I also loved and used to collect so much LPS tamagotchi as a kid (the one I remembered most was a hamster) and the plug and play too. Thank you for giving me such a nostalgia boost with this video.

I used to have the LPS plug and play game! It made me so happy as a kid :) It even CAME with my first littlest petshop owl, which I still have on my shelf. I also had the little digital pet.

I LOVED THE LPS 2008 ONE SM AS A KID, I LOW-KEY MISS IT 😭

The Gameloft one reminded me a lot of the moshi monsters ds game I had growing up lol

That PC port of Littlest Pet Shop was my favorite game as a child.

My dad designed the games for pretty much all of digital pet keychains, the "PDA", and even the digital pet writing pen (which wasn't in the video, understandably). We have a bunch of prototypes and original game design docs. I worked for Hasbro too back then. My first job with them was voicing the first baby pony in the MLP PC Play Pack. I actually play-tested the LPS online thing before it came out. Thank you for covering these older games. Its nice to see that people are still interested in them.

Hi shunks! There is another mobile game for lps that you did miss. I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s from the Blythe era. In the early gen, the lps came with a code that you can scan and they appear in a mobile game. In the game you get to expand Blythe’s pet shop, with each new floor that you buy coming with a new mini game. I remember that you could’ve eventually bought an airport and unlock even more mini games. Im unsure if there is any documentation of the game, but it was super fun and I would highly recommend you checking it out. Loved the video a lot, you should definitely make more lps themed content:D EDIT: I believe it’s called littlest pet shop your world. I highly recommend you look into it as it seems to be forgotten

They actually did do another LPS show, Littlest Pet Shop: World of Our Own, it ran for 1 season but it was definitely a step up in quality and the designs actually looked good!

I gotta say the inFamous title sliding across the screen for like 12 frames while a clip of the bee movie plays and Shunks talks about Wii games hit me with a lot of unexpected whiplash

I had both the Plug-n-Play and Wii version of LPS Friends as a kid! loved them both to death honestly, Friends really scratched my brain just right when I was like 10

I still have my lps tamagotchi thing, i had the persian cat and so far it still works! I havent even had to replace the battery

LOVED the lps biggest adventure game growing up! Nostalgia, damn

Omg I had the Biggest Adventure plug-and-play. Feels like a fever dream. I never thought I'd see it again

I had the LPS tamagotchi, and its was absolutely insane the amount of things you could do with these. I was basically stranded to the countryside at my grandma's farmhouse and this thing kept me busy for the whole 10 days. I did even touch my whole ass Nintendo DS. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed testing out Tamagotchis after that.

I was actually never an LPS fan as a kid, but i somehow came into possession of an LPS Friends ds game. I lost it during a move a few years ago, but couldn't remember what game it was- you were right that it got burned into my 2009 brain as a kid because I'd spent a long time trying to find it. Really good video!

22:23 jokes on you that song has lived rent free in my head for years

I remember playing the LPS Friends game on repeat as a kid. I'd get to the party, feel satisfied, and then just restart. And it is burned into my brain forever I think

HOORAY! shunk video

The biggest adventure game brought back so much nostalgia I've been looking for that game forever 😭

The tv plug in game my grandma got my for Christmas and kept it at her house to play when I was over with a cold or being watched when my mom was at work. So nostalgic to see it again

I had an LSPO account, LPS Biggest Adventure, and the Wii versions of LPS 2008 and LPS friends Also that stupid Light game from Friends was a nightmare 😭

for the longest time I hear about lps but never really knew what it was and now not only has this video made me understand the whole premise but it also made me unlock some core memories because I remember being obsesses as hell with the 2012 lps show and that one game, I genuinely did not remember what the hell they were called so thank you for this video, you've just made me remember my childhood a bit more lol

There was a flash LPS game i played as a child in the early 2000s, It was a pet salon game and I don't believe you mentioned it but it was a staple to my childhood along with poly pocket.

3:26 I HAD THIS PLUG N PLAY QHEN I WAS A KID. I LOVED IT SO MUCH. WE STILL HAVE THE CONTROLLER BUT THE CABLE WAS CUT OFF,,, I WANNA BUY ANOTHER ONE AND PLAY IT AGAIN.

oh my god i remember being like no older than 10? probably less, and my dad getting me that pig tomodachi game on a carride to keep me entertained because it was cheap and i have so much nostalgia for it, im extremely tempted to buy one just to relive it but its so expensive. I remember you could travel across the ocean with a boat and look at some leaves falling and i thought the music was so pretty as a kid. i remember it gave me kinda weirdly liminal vibes but i still loved it

I have the blue tamagotchi, but a dog version. It has tons of games but bc of the lack of buttons it’s really hard to get around. There is a big map and plenty of activities. It needs more than just “change option” and “select”.

Theres another moble game for lps inless i had a fever dream about it but yah its different to others, its the hotel and you unlock the levels over time and do other things with it

I owned the LPS plug-n-play and it was one of my favorite things ever. I LOVED it. Played it until its death.

As someone who had the DS LPS games and has also beaten Sonic Chronicles multiple times I feel called out- Also yeah can confirm that title screen music is burned into my head

I was shaking and gripping my seat waiting for lps friends I LOVE THAT GAME SO MUCH!!!! Hearing the title song got me running around like an animal in its enclosure

I'm that old to remember the LPS 90s cartoon, and yes, it aired in the UK, I also had the DS game of LPS

came here to reminisce about how i would pay that shell game constantly in lps friends thanks for reminding me

I was enamored as a kid with those little digital LPS games. Same with that plug and play one, and the DS games of course. 😂😭

Loved this video!

the 90’s Littlest pet shop cartoon was lovely btw it was very standard toon-ish 90’s humor and episode format. I remember watching the episodes 5 years back and it held up decently .

22:17 speaking as a kid who had this game, you are 100% correct. Listening to the theme again gave me war flashbacks.

i still have the gameloft game on my phone, oh how happy it made me. one of my core memories was being 6, grinding to get a bunny rabbit animal thing while sitting on the couch in the living room with my dad coming home and my mom making macaroni. IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY

I had the plug and play, friends on the ds, and purple team, I remember them all so vividly lol, I played the heck out of purple team man, that monkey minigame I remember went on forever. Those animations are all so charming to me

I played lps and lps:friends on the my ds religiously as a child The ost is ingrained into my mind

You totally unlocked a memory in me!! I totally forgot about the mobile app, but after seeing it, i know i played that before!!!!! That was a pretty cute game, too!

27:48 god nostalgia hit me like a tuck when I saw that I swear to god I can hear the sound effects I lost so many time on that game

For some reason I have ALL of the big star DS games and I 100% ALL THREE OF THEM After rewatching this I think I should do it again my ds still works after all

I used to play the MLP and LPS Gameloft games all the time. I spent more time on the MLP one, but I do get very nostalgic when I see the LPS one. It was a simple time then. 😅

oh my god seeing the plug-n-play game and knockoff tamagotchi brought waves on nostalgia crashing down on me. I'm surprised you didn't add a section in for LPS VIP, LPSO's predecessor

Great review Video Shunks pets love and hugs take care

the song you used for the transitions IS, IN FACT, permanently drilled into my head, as you said.

oh wow this video unlocked memories, i completely forgot i had that plug & play game as a kid until seeing it again. i do have vivid memories of the tamagotchi and the first of the DS games tho, i actually remember loving the ds game as a kid lol

As a kid I used to play a lot like A LOT the LPS pc version and it was so fun, it opened my eyes to open world games, i still have the game and i really want to play it again lol

Had the winter and city games on ds, but I remember there were also a web game where you had to buy plushies to get a code to get the plush character ingame. Had probably 6 of those plushies. Haven’t seen anyone play it online but I remember it was quite good? And the tamagotchis were PEAK, I had the husky and remember at 6-8 hanging it on my keychain and bringing it to school where a bunch of other kids also brought theirs. The amount of color, pets and designs were so fun. We used to connect them together do something ingame which I don’t remember what was.

Seeing the city builder game was mad. I played that religiously as a little kid its so nostalgic to me i just want to go back and play it again.

When you pilled out the littlest pet shop tomagochi with the little plastic things tied to it i got so excited. I got the turtle one when i was a kid and i still play it sometimes

My parents never got me video game (tbf it made me go outside a lot), so I love these videos that simulate the childhood I could have had

The plug and play section scared me so bad I thought I had dreamed it all up 😭😭 also the seahorse was my favorite so I was pissed I couldn’t play more games with it

I swear I had like 7 of those tomogachi toys. I'm pretty sure there is also a feature where you can have your pets play with each other by connecting them. They were great

I grew up owning Biggest Pets 3 with the horse and dog, and also had the Wii game as well! I remember playing it for hours just to beat the game, and collect everything in it. It brings back so many memories to think about, and with how happy it made me as a child!

I FORGOT ABOUT THE DAY PLANNER! Also love plug and play games! Had 2 of the dream life series

NO WAIT i had city friends on the ds as a kid and entirely forgot about it... i still love the character models

17:10 THIS IS WHY I CLICKED ON THIS VIDEO. I REMEMBER PLAYING ONE OF THE DS VERSIONS OF THIS GAME SO VIVIDLY. THE ONE WITH THE BUTTERFLY. I FINALLY REMEMBER!!!

I had the "circumcised" version of the virtual pet!! The horse one!! I do not think it was as loud. I can't remember a lot which is not unusual for me as I have memory problems but I do remember getting to walk the horse and go shopping. I also had the DS version of the Wii game. I think Winter? It was really cute. I liked all the different lands and dressing them up and stuff. There was a virtual world ala Webkinz from around the same time as well. You needed a plush with a code. I have no idea if any of it from it was archived.

i knew i was gonna get nostalgic as i loved the winter DS game as a kid but then you kept bringing up Sonic: Dark Brotherhood, to this day the ONLY sonic game i have ever owned. never got past the city

I gotta admit I found NOTHING about LPS online, and I thought I made it up as a fever dream because of it lmaoo

I grew up with the LPS wii game but mostly played it on pc aswell. And god i loved it so much. Getting new pets was like the most exciting part. Each pet gets their own little cutscene of arriving with the train and seeing their animations while running, the sounds they make and how they look with accesories was so fun. The congo line and circle formation as they talk with eachother was always so adorable though i did always find it dissapointing that you can't join those. But you can jam at the radio with a group of them. I also had a dream once about a brand new area lol.

the lps ds games like biggest stars and lps friends, country, etc were my fucking CHILDHOOD im so excited to hear someone talk about them ive been wanting to replay them so bad. also i was obsessed with the 2012 show so i go feral when it's mentioned literally at all

I had 2 Tamagotchi ones!! Believe I had a hamster and a cat one. I adored them so much, I liked that there was more to it than the Official Tamagotchis, where you sat around staring at your Tamagotchi waiting for it to need something.

There is an online game you are missing, but it's not uncommonly forgotten. LPS VIP was the precursor to LPSO, which I was much more into than LPSO. There's not much about it online if I remember correctly, but you did show a clip in here from VIP (the horse plush).

I love the plug and play soo much, I still have mine and all my old pets on it!

ahhh the plug and play!! that was such an integral part of my childhood. i had hundreds of lps, but sadly game them away, so im def spending the money to get the new gen now 😅

Another great video! Really hoping they do bring the one little meat pet shop game back tho it was my favorite growing up. There is actually 2 more lps games the first one being Lps: Your World. you can scan the lps paw symbol on the back of your lps and it brings them into the game. You build different floors on the pet shop each being their own mini game there you can collect coins and buy accessories as well as other lps. You can also travel to this fancy Hollywood type setting and play different mini games and unlock exclusive pets. The 2nd one is Lps:Pet style where you are helping the lps gang out on a fashion show. You can dress up your pets put together sketches and other things it also follows a storyline as well. I’d highly recommend checking those out as well. Thank you for another great video ❤

9:57 HOLY SHIT. I totally forgot I had that as a kid. You unlocked a memory for me xD

I used to collect these when I was really young, and I have vague memories of playing an MMO with an LPS cat plushie I bought and have since lost, but the thing that *isn't* vague is the blue team game thing. You can get through the whole thing through the course of a road trip with family. Or, at least I've done that a few times in the past. it's fairly fun. I could barely recognize some of the games that I know for sure that I played, though. it's pretty sad :(

got unexpectedly stimmy just from The Biggest Adventure being mentioned. that game is a part of my brain.

Came here for Littlest Pet Shop Friends for the Wii. I didn't really have the toys or anything else as a kid, but I did have that game and was obsessed with it (I think I still have it in my box of Wii games)

i remember my local video store were selling copies of Biggest Stars (which is unusual for a place that rents things, and they were brand new cause they had toys attached), and i got blue team because i loved blue but only because it was the boy color.
