This was a rather good Editorial. The person talking about Jhuidah was right. That's what through me off with the new one: she was stick thin. I mean, it's not like she was HUGE before, but she's never been drawn like a stick.

The Kougra poll would be great and I think it's a good idea to have it just open to Kougra owners. It is the 3rd most popular pet, afterall, and I don't think that it should really matter all that much about how it looks to people who don't own one. Personal opinion though. Still, with the poll it just means that we'll have to wait a lot longer for the new version to come out. It better be at least started before this new pet comes out.

Oh yes, and I think the Yurble is the bear pet. I just noticed the other day (when the Baby Yurble was released) about how much it actually looked like a bear.

they made 'em limeted a while ago, so only a max of one mill could be made. I never figured out why though.....@_@

I do believe they were made limited because of Maraqua's destruction- that goes for the Koi as well.

I remember you updating the looks of the red, green, yellow and blue Kougras, but what about the rest? It's been a long time since you updated the basic colours, so I would expected at least one more updated. Please update the rest!(why not start at the skunk Kougra?) *winkwinknudgenudge* - Lai_sinsi
After the flood of protests I received following the Kougra makeover we have held off re-doing anymore. Instead we are going to draw several designs and put them up for you to vote on. I am not sure if this will be open for all players to vote, or just current Kougra owners, but we will let you know well in advance.

Bah. They should've held a vote in the first place, so we wouldn't have had to go through all this mess.

WERELUPES!!! They ROCK!!! Yet there is hardly anything about them... Could there be a "Werelupe Day". With new werelupe items, pictures, and neopedia articles...and maybe another werelupe AV?!?!?!?! - Coolkidmaster102
Werelupes do indeed rock and you will be pleased to know they will feature very heavily in the PS2 game! Nearer the release date we will add a whole ton of new Werelupe stuff, but we don't want to spoil the surprise so you will have to wait

This pleases me greatly.

I'm not so keen on the idea of a Kougra revamp vote. They did the same thing back when we could vote on the new gelerts, and gave us four choices (well, five, but one was a joke).

The chicken thing actually won! So they took the runners up, the blue and red ones, and ended up drawing a whole new "combined" version that sucked more than both of them (in my opinion, anyway), and made that the new gelert without letting us vote again.

Wouldn't it have been a better idea to have a tiebreaker vote between just those two? If something like that happens this time, I'm going to be mad.

I do like the idea of letting only kougra owners vote, though.

Well, hopefully they're smart, and won't put up a joke one this time.

On the new Neopet, I'm suprised (but glad) to see it come out so soon after the Yurble. What I'm looking forward to is seeing what they consider, "not cute".

I believe "not cute" would be along the lines of the Buzz, the Grrarl, and the Skeith (although I think my Skeith is cute).

And yes, I really hope the Kougra vote goes better than the Gelert vote. However, the Gelert vote was just for a general re-vamp. This Kougra vote is to fix a re-vamp that no one liked. I think they will try a little harder this time to please the crowd.

I think the Gelert is in diar (dier? dire? I don't know) need of a re-vamp. Well, I've thought that ever since it recieved it's current look, but now they have an excuse to re-vamp it again because it looks nothing like the currents style Neopets are drawn in.

Ah well. After the Kougra re-vamp, only 30 pets will be out there not drawn in current style (if you consider the Krawk and on to look pretty current).

Have I mentioned how much I damn well hate requests?

Werelupes are cool, better than the post-Faellie day editorial when that user were STILL whining for another faellie avatar just bacause this one was easy to get.

There are hundreds of other petpets that don't even get PPL, much less an AVATAR, THEME DAY + cutesy items.

In any case, I'm still stocking up on Halloween PBs

Oh great werelupes, MY FAVOURITE NEOPET, is going to be in a ps2 game....and I dont have a ps2.

Oh well...

Thank freaking god they are making GOOD Kougras...I hope...>_<

Well, I hope TNT realizes how much it means to their users to have this re-re-vamp of the kougra. Do you realize this means they actually *gasp* listen to their users' concerns!? I think that's great!

Edited for typoes! :oops:

Sat Jul 17, 2004 11:02 pm

They listened to users' concerns when they re-revamped the lupe. That fat puppy revamp they had was awful, and I'm glad they fixed it. I actually really like the new kougra, though, and I don't believe as many people hate it as that Neopets poll showed. There was a topic here where many people said they liked it a lot, and a few people admitted to voting hundreds of times on that front-page poll to throw results off. I just hope the versions they come up with for us to vote on are even better and that we don't get stuck with another bad revamp like the gelert.

Sat Jul 17, 2004 11:53 pm

For some reason this freaks me out:

It looks like its stretching its mouth to reveal a smiling mouth underneath, or something like that. Its so weird...

I think that's great that they're giving us a chance to vote for the real Kougra revamp (I don't know if I will, though, I've never owned a Kougra). I do think they need a re-makeover. That revamp was pitiful. I mean, that big ruff of hair on its head is so awful, and its all out of proportion, and BLEH!

New pet....I hope turtle or maybe, quite possibly if it isn't going to be "cutesy" a snake.

For the vote I like the idea. I remember voting for the new Tatsu, Mynci, Gelert, I think there was another one... o_O

Anyway, I like the idea and hope it isn't just for Kougra owners. But what does it matter, my choice always looses:(

Sun Jul 18, 2004 12:12 am

I hope they let everyone vote on the kourgra revamp. If I like the revamp I'd probably end up getting a kougra, plus I've never gotten to vote before 0:)

Besides, letting only the owners of kougras vote will encourage people to create kougras, vote, then throw them in the pound.

Sun Jul 18, 2004 12:31 am

I'm hoping the new pet is a snake, a big, bad, furry snake

wait a second, snakes don't have fur... XD

I want to put one in my garden, I'll even buy a pond to go with it ^_^
