Have never played a pokemon game, but I thought it was a brilliant idea of Blizzard to do that for WoW, and I would like to see something similar for SWTOR too. But I have mentioned that many times i the past here already on the forums... on the other hand, maybe BioWare might still do it when they think they can make money with this, after all it seems like they are thnking about pets for their cartel market now.

When you play the game of PvP, you win or you die.

I have 5 pets, and quite frankly only use one.... They are nice to collect I guess but don't really give 2 s***s about them. There is a niche for them even if you don't like them.

Worse, with the special pets that were only available for american retail stores, I am not that eager any more to get every pet, since that is no longer possible. BioWare just doesn't know how to treat collectors.
This made me think of a title as a reward for owning all the "cat" species pets in the game. <That Crazy Cat Person>

At the very least I can see people spending time doing pet battles or something along those lines I think it could bring a good bit to the game in the same way Galactic strongholds will bring the house thing to the game,

Well I see a need for them. To me they are awesome collections and when I quest especially on plantets I enjoy, I always have a pet out. So no to me they aren't simply objects and when ever I get a new pet I really happy. I love collecting them.

Pets and titles are the lamest thing in mmo's. If the pet does something for you like in combat then great, you have companions that do that. Titles are pointless, a million others have the same title, what do i care is your 'grand poohead'.

I have a lot of pets and I enjoy them. A lot of them are a gift from my boyfriend because he knows I love them.

I normally have one or two out most of the time.

Again it comes down to peoples likes and dislikes. You don't care for titles? Fine, but some of us really do like them and consider them a part of our characters indentiy.

The only pet I want is a Nexu cub. BW has given use so many ugly creatures and stupid droids but they will not give us a nexu. I deleted that stupid subteroth on every single character. Unless the pet pack included a nexu I would never buy one, maybe not even if it had a nexu.

There will also be a First Grand Mount pack. It was discovered in the game files long ago.
