In the US, these seem to have been distributed by a company called Innotronics, but I cannot find out who distributed them in Japan. They are dinosaur pets that are notable for having weather and training functions, and several care-based growth trees. Notably, the menu icons for these pets run vertically up the sides of the screen, rather than on the top and bottom of the pet.
Here’s a wonderful guide for how to run them: Gotchi-garden.blogspot.com
And here’s a log from TamaTalk where someone has documented their playthrough: https://www.tamatalk.com/threads/2021-dinkiedino-log-ready-to-try-again.199500/
Virtual Pets has a guide for these here: VirtualPet.com
