Since Experiment 2795 was made into the Yaherra, I think the skin should also bear the new name :)
I think that's a pretty reasonable request, support
Currently seeking: Any pet with an October 31st, 2015 birthday
I'm standing up for this suggestion.
I support this suggestiion

I'd like it to be kept as it is now, but I'm not against it being changed either. Keeping the current name would just be nice as a reference to the Yaherra's origin.
HONK!
I feel like it's in the vein of like, how we've kept the original experiment items even after they've changed to "real pets" with "real names" (usually by adding 'vintage'). I personally like honoring their original roots? :x
Rename it to "Vintage Experiment 2795" skin, then :D
I support the original suggestion.
I like keeping the history stuff too, but it does get confusing. Consistency issues - some old items have been changed (Keith's stuff comes to mind), some doesn't change - the book Oracle Tokens for example.
This makes for major inconsistencies - another example, the raffle tickets (in the shop), forum points (the event), forum tickets (currency page) and then add in the forum giftboxes for extra confusion. Is this maintaining history or just sloppiness?
I feel keeping the history of some older items, like the oracle token items is fine. But when we're dealing with stuff that's still active (like zapping for skins), or forum points, items and names should be changed so people know what they're trying to get.

I agree with Lypsyl. Keep a nod to its experiment roots in the yaherra's future subetapedia entry, or the item descriptions. Add it as a fun fact! Any new users joining won't know the history of the pet, and they won't know what the deal is with the vintage experiment things. With how many subetapedia entries are still due for entry, I don't really see the yaherra, qrykee or the blob getting priority just because of their former experiment status.
Real talk: I can't remember the experiment numbers at all. :'D And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. So if people end up collecting yaherra things for whatever reason, they'll miss out on the vintage items because they have no idea what experiment number it is.
tl;dr - support. Rename the skins and plushies into "vintage yaherra/qrykee/blob". Keep a nod to experimental origins in their subetapedia entries and item descriptions.
