So it would seem, but I personally don't like it. It makes me think of a Disney sponsored pet - Emporer's New Groove anyone? :roll:

You just released 50 new species !! how are you going to give them all a day of there own like kiko day? and how are you going to make them be able to be painted with paintbrushes? - Nikki24772005
Hehe That was our little April Fool's Day joke. We always do something silly at this time of year. Those species aren't really released, and they won't have their own pet days. You are not by any means the only person who fell for it. (You can stop sending the angry *how dare you release 50 or why are they so ugly* messages now heh ). I mean did you see the Hughhman or the scary Gorilla/Turtle ?!?! :D

Is there even the remotest, tiniest chance that some of the April fool's pets might be released in the future? The "Sharkaw" and "Polaflint" look pretty cool, and the Neopets menagerie doesn't have any bobcat or lemur-like critters yet. - Gizmonic
Well a lot of those pets were designs that didn't quite make it in the past. If one or two seem popular we could possibly end up tweaking the things we didn't like so much about them and adding a more refined version. We have no plans to do that at present though.

The DonkeyKongBowser hybrid wasnt ugly. :cry:

And more than just a couple were good... almost ALL of them were good... donna... adam... el pik.... someone on the neopets staff read this board and pound some sence into your other staff members

I couldn't agree more - what were the neopets staff thinking??

I didn't see one single complaint about the pets being ugly, all I saw were boards upon boards of people wondering why neo were being so mean for their april fools joke.

There wasn't one single pet there that didn't have a whole load of people loving it and wanting one. What a lame "joke" - lets show our members some uber cool pets that are much better than the original ones and then go "haha, you can't have them".

Pfft, I want my Polaflint!

Please don't make me beg again *sniff*

I agree. That pet is awesome! Its probably a rejected bori design. *sigh* They probably didn't make it because it was too complicated or somesuch. The lamameeah...now there's a pet I would have several of! Maybe if we can all pick the top 5 and bombard TNT with emails we can get them to release some of these

its a shame they weren't around for more than about 12 hours, people in some timzones could quite easily have missed it

I completely agree. Plus they were fun to look at. *sulk*

Fri Apr 01, 2005 9:02 pm

I can't belive they took them off so fast, I would have missed them, if I wasn't up so late, last night. Lots of people are gonna be mad that they missed them. Especially, kids on the West Coast, who aren't even out of skool, yet.

I am glad I spent the time putting them into paint--now I can look at them forever. If anyone wants a copy of the jpeg I created with all 50 of them, PM me.

Fri Apr 01, 2005 9:20 pm

I want a bunch of them to be petpets. Some of them were too large/detailed to work, but many of them would look great that way. Please, TNT!

Now I'll never be able to adopt one.

TNT hates us, it's official.

Really, after all the work they put into this for a little bit of fun? I hardly think hate is the right word to be using.
