I only like baby, maraquan and mutant converted pets since (most) of them look unique and I don't have to waste real money to buy them
I hate dressing my pets up because for it to look pretty you're either gonna waste a lot of nps or a lost of cash on nc so why even bother with that in the first place lol
I do like wraith pets though so there's that

I prefer some of the converteds because of the whole customization-and-morphing/painting aspect, but I'd still love to have a UC or two to call my own, especially if it was a Royalgirl Kau or a Grey Acara. ;-;
Hi everyone . thank you for your opinions . I agree that some pets looks better after conversion and some still remained cute like grundos . But anyone agree some pets like elephante and cybunny ... They are irreversibly ruined , no matter how much you customise them it still doesn't help . Elephantes had the worst hit imo

I beg to differ, I have a handsome Pirate Elephante myself, who looks pretty cool with any costumization I do, mainly with his RB clothes.
I actually like converted much better. First, I'm sorry, but more details or more "expressive" art for me does not equate to good art for me, UC pets reek of the old art in the site that is so flat, and SO 90s, and I don't mean in a "vintage" way, I mean it sucks. And details without quality is like looking at a kid's drawing. It just really looks bad. Besides, there was no standardization on how the lines and the shading and coloring was drawn then, each hired artist drew their own thing, while now, all pets of similar paints have the same trace, and all shading's done the same way, and TBH, I find these pets to have way more expressive faces than the original ones. Of course, there's always an exception or another to my criticism of UC, and some converted pets are just ugly, although, overall, my argument withstands.
Also, all pets of the same species and paint looked the same, so what's the fun? Where's the individuality? Nah, I'd rather have my converted, at least I can change the look of my pet, and even go to extreme lengths to make my pet look unrecognizable to its species, have my own creativity mark in there, and create actual characters out of my pets, instead of having to add drawings to pet lookups people will barely ever look at, to talk about how my own pets look like in my head. Also, it makes it easier for the non artist to be as free to create a character of their own as the artist is.

I don't mind them because it's all I ever had. I played neo at a young age and wasn't good at it, and because of that, after conversion, I never had an UC. I just dealt with converteds since I wasn't good at making NPS and then after the 777 draiks, the decline of the economy etc it made it near impossible to trade for UCS.
There are certain converteds I can't stand though, and I love Uc pets.
Happy to hear you like your handsome elephante That is cool ! Customisation is a lot of fun , especially the backgrounds Yes some of the old arts are flat eg Kiko and Bruce , they significantly improved . But what do you think about Royal colours ? RG pets used to look elegant and actually stands up like Cybunny and Lupe . And now they are just standing on four legs in a standard pose . I don't think customisation can help in Royal cases since you cannot change the entire pose

I am not good at making nps too . Not good at saving up either . Just don't give up if you like UCs if you have a nicely named high bd stat pet , it never hurts to try . Even you just get badly named UCs but that is just the start . I actually find the majority of UC owners very nice and easy to talk to don't suggest you offer on RW/RN pets with BD pets because they are usually picky and in some cases , may ignore you . Just my personal opinion though

I personally think the worst hit by conversion was the chombies. My favorite pet in the whole game when I was in 7th grade playing was the Cloud Chomby, I loved that thing so much. Saved up the 400k at the time for a could PB which for me meant playing games everyday and quite the commitment for that age, since I really wasn't supposed to be on the computer much anyway. I even tried to draw it and stuff I was so into that pet. If they had an UC cloud chomby I would go for it FOR SURE even if it was on mutant tier or whatever lol Man I would want one of those.
The closest to old chomby artwork is the mara chomby because they have that old adorable face, but still not the same . . .

I don't mind the converts. I have dislikes and likes in both genres of pets. Like I hate UC Halloween lupes and mutant usuls but don't mind they're converted counter parts.
I've heard the argument before that "all ucs look the same, I like converteds because I can dress mine to look different" so there's that. But at the end of the day it's just a drawing that looks like everyone else's drawing. Just yours has a pink wig. At least with ucs you can, for a brief moment, feel better then the pcers huddling on gifting boards begging for "any uc! Please I don't care!" And that reason only my friend, is why I like ucs more.
That and I don't have to buy as much nc to make my accounts look nice.

I traded off all of my UCs. I obviously prefer the art, who doesn't?
However, customising is fun when you get into it, you can develop a character more if you're into that sort of thing. There's a lot you can do to make a converted pet different, where there isn't that much option when it comes to UCs.
I'm also funny about names, and unless a UC was perfectly named I just couldn't cope with it at all. So instead of the UCs I have, I now have all RW pets that match. :p
Personally, I would rather all pets be converted so we can get back to pets actually being WORTH trading. Now it's all about UCs and it's just a bore.
I HATE the pose though, the fist thing really bugs me because I don't usually have my pets holding something so it just looks odd, looks like that fist baby meme and it annoys me.
Most UC pets are just outdated and ugly, however Faeries and Royals and to some extent Greys have forever been ruined, especially the Kyriis. I wish they had kept Faeries and Royals as they are and converted everything else.
