Ain't letting this idea die, I'm sorry but I have a dream and it has lightning bolts attached.

Please Do Not Ping Suggest! The suggestion group has been pinged a lot to this idea, I am only recreating this thread because I feel there is still a lot that could in theory be discussed, particularly since the old ideas were really scattered between the posts/threads before but the old one was locked at the behest of the OP.

At the very least it will allow people who've not seen it before to add their two cents. .

Old locked threads:

Area 62 Phantom Admirer [topic not found]

Appearance Ideas These are not all mine, and most are from the older threads, links included where possible.

[li]Blue with the lightning patterns [li]Fur that looks like static electricity is running through it [li]Storm cloud background, as with Galactic's nebular bg [li]White/gold lightning types. [li]Dark greys and blues, lighter greys, surrounding storm clouds and electrical discharge [li]Variation in the storms portrayed -- like nostalgic has different toys for each pet, not just all old-looking plushies etc... Monsoons, sandstorms, thunderstorms etc... [li]A lot of white/pale (comparisons: Storm from X Men, the lightning itself) [li]Wind blown fur/hair/general etc...

Any and all pieces of original art by outside artists are not posted as a like-for-like representation for what these pets could look like, and are ONLY here for inspiration.

Attitude/personality: [li]Regal [li]Proud [li]Wild [li]Aggressive [li]Arrogant [li]Powerful/commanding (but not aggressive)

How To Acquire [li]Potion [li]CS Potion [li]Millionaire Centre (sP sink) [li]Zapper only [li]Quest
Quote by shalashaska
I&;d prefer to see another way of getting the colour.
Maybe part of it is buy-able through the CS (like the ) but then it has to be taken elsewhere to be made into a pet colour.
Say...
Since Malaria has Dark Matter and claims to be its polar opposite or enemy, the new CS item has to be taken to Shinwa along with idk... a lightening rod, so you have to go to Asmodeus with copper wire, a metal rod and an insulating base (which I feel should be easy to get a hold of)... this will give you a lightening rod, the lighting rod could then be taken to Shinwa with the CS item and she&;ll turn your active pet into the &;storm&; colour.</p>
<p>I&;d, personally, like to see a mixture of colours on a storm pet, some pets having yellow electricity, others blue or violet or white.
[li]Certain times of the month/day [li]Random event
Quote by Firebolt
I&;m thinking either a potion or a random event that says &quot;Well, Atebus reports that there&;s some dark clouds gathering in Sacred Lands...maybe Thundous is coming...&quot;, and Thundous can be the one to bless your pet the Storm color after showing &;bravery and tenacity&; for visiting him.
[li]Plot prize

Quote by Metroid
Kind of going off of the &quot;plot prize&quot; idea...maybe a plot-convenient storm that warps a few NPCs to a new land related to storm-weather. I mean, I&;m still thinking about the old map of Subeta, and how we never knew what was on the other side.
Anyways, this new land could be like the Thunder Plains in FF X? Navigate through the fields and if you get struck by lightning, then your active pet has a small chance to change colours. And since you&;d be risking your pet&;s safety, you&;d have to pay a fee to enter the fields.</p>
<p>Other possible outcomes could include: random stat boost/loss (+1 Level or -1 Level); pet loses all hit points (0/10 HPs until you heal the pet); HA looks like it got burnt to a crisp by the lightning (temporary); the lightning bolt just narrowly missed your pet, but it spooks them enough that they turn tail and retreat back to the entrance.</p>
<p>The only drawback would be the infamous &quot;I forgot which pet I had active and it changed colour&quot; complaint. And perhaps a second downside to this idea would result in a standard colour palette (like Reborn) instead of representations of the various storm types (like Nostalgic).

Quote by Speiro
I&;ve always thought this was a cool idea, so I&;m all for it.</p>
<p>As for how to acquire it, I like the lightning rod idea (the visual of owners running around in a storm intentionally trying to electrocute their pets... omg xD). I also like the suggestions to incorporate some randomness, because we are talking about storms, and those aren&;t always predictable.</p>
<p>What if this was linked to the BC? I think you can equip color change potions to your pet right now, so you can change your pet&;s color in the middle of a battle. That&;s always seemed kind of silly, but if that was the only way to use a certain potion, that might be interesting.</p>
<p>Maybe have a weather-based challenger named CloudFlare that changes forms on a daily basis, or randomly every few hours, so at one point it&;s a light drizzle (easy opponent) and later it morphs into a hurricane (extremely hard/impossible). So then you can change your pet by equipping a lightning rod to the potion slot and using it against CloudFlare the weather beast while it&;s in lightning storm mode. You wouldn&;t even have to survive the battle, just use the rod on the first turn and your pet changes color -- it would still be a challenger though, because you&;d have to construct the lightning rod, get the challenger, and then be online to catch it when it&;s a lightning storm.

I like the different images here. I was reluctant to read your original thread, because electiricy is such a lame color on other sites, but these are pretty cool.

I think acquisition should be expensive in the Millionaire Center like 20MsP or more, and also be a lizard minion/buzzswarm style random event. You'd have to have your MC lighting rod or Mad Laboratory Table locked into your inventory, and your desired pet active. If you get the random event "your pet is caught in a ferocious tropical cyclone driven overland by the goddesses for woe or for weal. She'd better run for safety!" and don't have the rod, nothing happens, you get away. If you do, then you get struck.by lightning and changed.

Almost 2014, and this idea has YET to become real. xD It's been suggested on&off for 7+ years now, right?

Something like that I'm sure ;A; next year will be my... 6th year I think, and I know it's been floating around for a good part of that. I will keep this suggestion going until Keith has me assassinated or I get me some over charged pets.

This could be amazing. So many options with colours and textures, and I'm not a person who is really into working on pets. The aesthetics of it would be fantastic. It would be worth it just if we get something that looks like the storm cat from the Mousehole Cat. I love that part so so much.

I still really like this suggestion since there is so much potential. Some ideas I have to contribute are possibly having them more elemental in essence while still retaining some kind of rain/storm aspect. Some inspirational images - 1 2 3 4 5 6 That's all for now. Just wanted to add these while I had the idea in my mind. It's 3am so i will return later most likely

This is a neat suggestion (can't believe I haven't seen it before). It could introduce a new texture that we don't have in other pet colors. This idea definitely has a lot of potential.
