Today I adopted Luka from the pound to take my last slot. I was just going to screw around zapping him until something struck my interest and that will fit one of two ideas I have. Thing is, on his first zap, he turned into a Cherry Tigrean (he was a Common Velosotor) and I kind of really like the look. But it has absolutely nothing to do with either story idea. So I guess I'm going to keep zapping, but now I'm always going to want a Cherry Tigrean lol. So maybe I should keep him as is? But then I have two story ideas I can't use and a pet who doesn't have any idea for a story lolol

Ahhh, I feel your pain. Sometimes I stop zapping for a day or so, and see if that helps me decide if I really want to keep or not. Though, usually I end up zapping anyway xD

Maybe if you wait it out you can get an idea for a story? x)

I have the same problem. In fact my pet Shizen wasn't going to stay with me until he zapped in a Darkmatter Kumos. Five years later... lol

I'll hold off and let the excitement of getting a certain thing wear off then usually I can place them into the ac or keep zapping if they're one of the two pet species that change when abandoned.
