It's been a while since I last created a pet, but when I went to do so today, I remembered how tedious it is.
There are seven pages of pets to sort through, which makes sense for newcomers who need to see all the pictures and not kill their computer in loading all the species. But for someone like me, who has been around for years, and creates a pet when I know exactly what I want, that's seven more pages of clicking than I'd really like to do.
It'd be sweet if there was a little drop-down right on the front page. Something like "Click through to see all the species! Or if you know the name of the species you want, select here. [drop-down of pet names in alphabetical order]"
I would really like this. I keep forgetting which page irions are on, but that's my 'default' pet to make whenever I do make a new pet.
the thread here suggests something very similar. I couldn't find it when I was looking for it even though I had posted on it before! I do think it would be nice for the reasons you stated though. when I know what pet I want but I don't know which page it is on, it can be very difficult.
please post your ideas on the thread I linked, I will lock this one up so ideas stick together :)
