Blizzard Entertainment announced plans to add a Pet Battle System feature to World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. This is a feature I was so much looking forward. As I grew my collection of 129 pets, it came to mind it would be nice to have some sort of Pokemon system clashing pets vs pets.
My eyes pop out when Cory Stockton announced the Pet Battle System. Not only can you and your pet level up to battle other pets, your entire account will have access to the Pet Collection, meaning you don’t have to collect the same pets over and over for each character.

It looks cool, ok… but… I was kind of hoping something extraordinary for this expansion… not pokemon battles…
I never got too much interested in collecting all pets, and sure it was fun to get new ones once in a while but, I’d love to see more raids, or more heroics. I know blizz needs to do stuff for everyone but I think this wasn’t something that the fans were asking or it’s something they had to do it… it’s ok but we can live without mini-games.
For regular raiders like myself (not hardcore players) it’ll be just another time sink thing to do while you wait people to log in to raid…
