How Battle Pets in World of Warcraft Changed Gaming for Me

great vid

I quit WoW at the beginning of Shadowlands and just came back. My battle pets were the only thing tempting me back during that absence.

I have played WoW since 2007 - played a little FFBE off and on.

I have been a high ranked raid leader and guild leader - wow is awesome.
Welcome!
I am glad you like the Pet Battles. Try more of the game too - wow has tons to offer.

This is literally me, I played Pogo and got bored and have played WoW off and on since release. Got into Dragonflight and did some Mytic dungeon crawling at 70 once that got stale I looked into the pets. I have to admit I was thinking it was just knock-off Pokémon but it's honestly what keeps me subscribed now as well.

Great video! Glad you're enjoying yourself in WoW - it always makes me smile seeing people's joy in the game. :) Incidentally, your background in Monster Taming/Battling games (my favorite game genre aside from WoW) is similar to my own, too, which was a nice surprise to see!

I'm a long-time player of WoW (since early 2005) and have been a casual pet battler and collector for some time - my main content to pursue is typically hardcore Raiding or M+ Dungeons, but I do always find myself coming back to the Pet Collecting/Battling side of WoW quite often. I definitely feel people underappreciate Pet Battles! Your eloquent breakdown of the depth Pet Battles explains exactly why I love them and come back to them - as a standalone battle system it is quite fun, but alongside an entire RPG with cool people to interact with and tons of stuff to explore, collect, and do? It's too good!

Anyway, all this to say I really enjoyed your enthusiasm in your video and was glad to have came across someone who feels similarly to me. :) Hope you continue enjoying your time with WoW and Pet Battles in the future!

When Mists of Pandaria expansion came out (2012?) I was waiting for my collectors edition to arrive per mail. It was 2-3 days late, so I missed the expansion on day one. However, battle pets were introduced to the base-game and I got inmediately hooked. Those 3 days while everyone else was exploring Pandaria, I was out collecting anf battling and leveling all sorts of pets. I LOVE it!!! Did you know it's the project of just 1 dev?

Great content momo!

How do you go about finding info on pets? Is there a good resource to learn what pets to target in 10.2? I had no idea about the rare colored bunny but how do you even find this exists?

Would like a video to better understand the battle pet lifestyle. Things like addons for targeting pets and just what to look out for while our world questing

Love the insights here, great video man!

I would love to see more battle pet content from you.
