I don't know, maybe I'm getting old and sensitive, but everytime I spend a lot of sP on a book for my battle pet, or on food for her, and she answers me in such rude ways like "You call that literature?" or "Feed that to me again and I might bite your hand off." I feel like dumping her, really. xD Sometimes I'm not in the mood to tolerate such a jerk pet, so it would be nice to be able to change their personality, maybe for a sP fee?
At the time of the creation we could pick between "Snarky", "Aggresive", "Nice", etc, and having a set of predetermined answers to the different interactions with our pet according to the chosen personality. And, as I said before, also beign able to change their personality at any point with sP, or a potion.
Or the pet could be totally silent, as other have suggested here.

(This somehow reminds me a lot of another site).
To get back to topic I don't support this. I don't want to give my pet a personality because I quite like the little comments they give.
I don't know how this remind you to "that other site".
I think is great you like it, but having options for those that don't wouldn't hurt, right?

I think I read somewhere that the responses you get from reading and feeding are random rather than determined by some hidden personality stat. You could feed it the same food over and over and get responses ranging from ecstasy to rage, so if my pet snarks at me when I read it a cash shop book I just ignore it.
Or, if I'm in a terrible mood I am not above letting it get stomped on in a Battle Quest a few times.
Damn this would be a lot of useless work As Kevin said, I think a way for it to say nothing would be better and easier, if possible at all
I think that brainwashing your pet should be a CS item.
No, there's no need for this. Those phrases are random and reflect nothing, other than some funny reactions.

Like others already stated, I would prefer them to say nothing at all which would fit the pet lore more as well, too imo.
Nothing at all would be cool too, honestly.

I'd like them to say nothing as well. I'm just not a fan of it.
I'll admit I found it funny at the first time of seeing them but they've gotten old on me.
The phrases don't really fit my pets. Except one, who the snarky ones do fit.

It does make me grin when the snark for reading a book does end up matching the character I've made up for my pet, but other than that I'm really not fussed about this.
It kind of seems like the option for personality presets would be more trouble than it's worth, considering how few people are for it?
Yes, it's a bit of extra immersion, but considering our pets are considered to be animals in Subeta's canon, and afaik none of the subetapedia articles mentioned them speaking with humans on equal terms, it's odd and sticks out. Both for feeding, playing and for certain games like Rock, Paper, Scissors.
I'd hate for this to go away. It's noted randomly throughout the site (items, generally) that some pets have the ability to talk, even some minions. The kora communicates psychically. I generally don't bother reading the comments about food or book, though I do notice some often followed by a "you are no son of mine" when Muerte doesn't agree with me. This just kinda feels similar to asking the site to change the SubetaPedia pages because the entry doesn't fit in with someones pet idea. Sometimes the lore needs to be ignored for your story. I sound like such an asshole shut up
I also don't care for the back-sass (that's why everybody gets dumped in the resort) and I think it's a cute idea and I would use it, but it's probably too much trouble to implement.
I don't think it's a Neopets thing, either (pretty sure their's works the same as ours, where it's generic and more often than not the pets are rude and ungrateful little toads.)
I wouldn't want them to be totally silent, though. That just seems sad to me for some reason.
