I don't really know what I want my zap pet to become or what would make me stop zapping.
I already got my glacier celinox :P
So what are you hoping your pet will become or what will make you stop zapping that pet?
I have a list of pets I'd keep. Experiment , Experiment , Nostalgic Jollin, Steamwork Priggle, Angelic Antlephore, or Nostalgic Priggle. I probably won't end up with all of them, but that's my list currently.
I've got one pet I'm okay zapping right now, but I can see letting 2 others go if I got one of my favorites.
I usually just zap for the hell of it, I don't really plan things out x: If I get one that I like I just keep it. Most of the time I just go "forget it" and buy an elixir/potion and stop zapping.
Sometimes it really works out for my characters/stories. My pet Enliven turned into an Experiment , which I find fitting because the story is about coming to life in both the physical and metaphorical sense, and I think the snake/horse combo is a good representation of that. The snake represents death and the horse represents life. c: I was having a lot of trouble figuring out his species so I was glad to have that part figured out.
