When it pertains to obtaining virtual pets on any virtual pet site, what are some of your favorite ways to get them? Do you like when pet sites have a create-a-pet feature, an exploring-for-pets feature (like adventuring for a pet), egg hatching, or do you prefer other methods?


Some virtual pet sites just offer a create-a-pet feature where you're able to obtain one by simply creating them and selecting your desired pet. Others allow you to adopt them through a pound, while some let you capture pets while exploring—kind of like a Pokémon-like feature (just without the Pokéballs).


However, what are some of your favorite methods of obtaining a virtual pet? What's your go-to feature? Are you a fan of creating pets from scratch, or would you rather explore for them? Do you think exploring adds more fun and excitement to the game compared to just creating them, or do you feel pet sites should offer both options?
 
my site had multiple ways to get pets because thats my preferred way to do it. You can fish for a random feesh for example.. and when they're finished if your house is dirty you'd have a chance to find a Rattie pet. (I also hope to add more pet finding later also..this is just what I have or am working on atm) but then also you can adopt a pet with a random color outcome- or you can make one from scratch..or breed for different markings/ and things .I prefer a variety of choices so thats what I've put into Atrocity.. I wish more pet sites had more choices that way.
 
I love the idea of having multiple ways to get pets on a site. The fishing mechanic you mentioned sounds like a lot of fun and it could keep things exciting.

yea you basically fish for actual fish and sometimes a pet appears as an outcome you can adopt.

That is so cool! The surprise factor with a pet being hoisted onto the fishing line-doubles the excitement for me. I can imagine players falling for their virtual pets, especially the rare or hard-to-get ones.
