Hey Mycenians!
Have you ever felt like you have too many pets? Spent more than thirty seconds scrolling down and down your profile just to find a specific one? Row after row they smile politely at you, wondering why on earth you would shove them onto the same crowded page; their big, cute eyes just begging for a bit of breathing room. Finally, we have a solution! Introducing Pet Pockets! Now, using our patented Inventory Pocket technology, you can easily store and organize your pets as you see fit! By name, coat color, plot, or even the amount of love you have for them! Anything is possible with Pet Pockets!** ** Within reason. This only applies to the organization of pets on your profile and is a blanket statement that probably shouldn’t have been included in this announcement. Forgive Crow, she gets carried away when she’s excited. In all seriousness, yes! Pets on your profile may now be organized into pockets similar to the inventory system! This feature works a lot like the inventory pockets in general - pockets can be named and organized as desired, and pets can be placed into a specific pocket by utilizing the same shift + click technique that can be used on inventory items. Thanks to glitch for making this awesome update for us to enjoy!

Hey everyone! This feature involved a pretty hefty rewrite of a good chunk of item and pet code, so if you see any broken pages please let me know :) One more detail is that the new system lets you create up to 8 pockets of each type. Existing pockets have been moved over irrespective of this limit, so if you currently have more than 8 item pockets then never fear: your pockets remain (lookin’ at you, person with 40 inventory pockets, you know who you are…).

While I absolutely love this (hello plotting worlds hoo boy), I’m a little worried I won’t be able to utilize this for a while since I’m like 99% on mobile these days. Would it be possible in the future to add the ability to add a pet to a pocket onto the pet’s management page? I mostly can get around this for items by selecting the items and using the popup, which is great, but can’t do this for pets for the obvious reason that clicking a pet takes you directly to their page. Even if I have to use a computer, I’m so happy with pockets.

glitch Wonderful! And if I may, could I ask if there’s a plan to allow all pets to be shown in like the main pocket, or by toggling off all pockets? I know when this idea was being discussed a while back, there was interest in being able to toggle pets per pocket, so that they could all be seen in the user’s profile if the user so wished. Would there be the ability to show all pets despite them being assigned to a pocket, or once they’re in a pocket will they work just like the item pockets have been working? obtuse explanation but I really have no idea how to describe it better than that. idk like how digis did their inventory system?

(lookin’ at you, person with 40 inventory pockets, you know who you are…) surely i can’t be the only one Ahem. This is an awesome update! I very much like it and appreciate the work that went into it. :D Question: Would it ever be possible to add descriptions to different pet pockets? Nothing elaborate, but just the ability to say ‘Yeah these guys are maybe UFT if you’re interested’ or ‘These ones are part of my wicked cool space zombie plot’?
i’m sorry

Hoooray! Thank you. Now everyone will know exactly who I love best. :] I haven’t tried this yet, but do we have to shift pets over to our main pocket to trade them, the way we do with items? nooooooooooo I haven’t made a 2018 pocket yetttttttttt

crying over the 40 pocket call out This is especially awesome for mobile (ironically since it’s only usable on mobile atm xD) or for crappy internet. I spend a LOT of time waiting for profiles to load. Although, now I might have to stop just organizing my pets by birthdate like a lazy bum….xD

raus I’ll have a look and see if I can see what you mean :) Chibi Envy Chan Sorry about that! The tabs on your profile (and the profiles of people with spaces in their usernames) have been fixed! Jacq Thanks for letting me know! The issue (which has been fixed) was mostly just presentation, so your items have been making it through :) With this change to pockets you’re no longer restricted from sending / trading only items in your first pocket. The reasoning behind this change is that if you have a “for sale” pocket on your profile, you likely don’t want it displayed as your primary / default pocket, and it seemed very confusing to have this restriction for item pockets and not for pet pockets.

Ah, this is really nice update :D I was wondering though, if I have already moved my pets into different pockets and want to change the order of the pockets as shown on the pockets tab, is there anyway for me to do this? Or do I have to rename all my pockets and move all the pets into the new pockets again?
