the petpet opinions....
overall, too much detail is bad. if it looks more like a Flight Rising familiar or a subetapet than a funny neopets thing, unpleasant... incongruous... many petpets I simply Do Not See It. not on my neopet. scale very unpleasant
an ideal petpet is typically even simpler looking than most neopets... iconic. very few colors. little extraneous detail. cute proportions. silly concept is good!
not rly a fan of, 'its just an IRL animal but a petpet', sort of weird. not a lot even in this category but like. I feel it when I feel it. wish you tried harder kind of feeling. make it a little sillier please. it could be polka dot or have 1 big eye or silly antenna or be porple and orange. something. just change a tiny tiny bit more ok . too normal looking.
I do not like to pair a species + petpet that look too similar. i.e. a kadoatie and an aisha, unless that resemblance is lore related (like an aisha raised by kads or a pet who turned self into an aisha to resemble a kad, or something. a maraquan blumaroo who is surrounded by dozens of baby bloos)... they become fine when paired with a contrasting neopet!!
very strange to look at ......... for me. I don't like it. some people this is the entire philosophy behind every pet+petpet pair. its not for me .
there are exceptions to everything. I think sometimes I have a vision or a cute item comes out and it elevates a petpet I no care about before.
lets see. a great example of what I accept:
VS what I do not accept
