Name exchange swaps just the names, not the ID, right?
So if I swap Culver with Lilali, Culver gets Lilali’s ID? Maybe a silly question, I just want to be absolutely sure before I go for it :)

i'm gonna go ahead and wait for a second opinion (unless someone beats me to posting!), as i've only ever done a name exchange once and didn't pay much attention. but i'm pretty positive the way you described it is exactly what happens! it just swaps the names onto the other pets - nothing else is touched. so culver will get lilali's id, tc, color, stats, gender, etc. it's kind of a pain in the butt to recolor, gender, and move everything between pets but that's definitely how it works!

oh hey :D Yeah it's a total pain in the butt, I'll be ditching lots of stats and will need a gender berry. I'm just sooo thankful I've been putting off turning Culver into an angel. Too bad ID swap is an impossible feature!

Thanks for the verification, Dill =)
