I need to know I'm not the only one to monumentally screw up (and of course it got changed to a pet I don't want... will cost about 9,200,000 to change back)

Yes, happened to me as well already. I zapped for an Experiment, got it but set the Zapper Alert and when the Alert told me I can zap again I did it and of course my Experiment turned into something else. :D

my pet ADHD went from a storm Noktoa to a camel 0_o

lol, that's quite the transformation. Kind of like the camel though? Endearing little seedling on his back.

nah he looks WAY too sanguine to have ADHD for a name

Yeah you make a good point. Especially next to Turbulent the Roiling Storm Matter... interesting juxtaposition.

Could zap him a few more times now though, see if you get something you like?

Yup, I zapped Illy about 1.5 years ago and she turned into a darkonite (from a glade sheeta) Was an expensive mistake xD

Happened to me indeed, short after a pet name switch. R.I.P. Angelic Paralix. X'D
