A relatively small achievement, but my battle pet reached level 151 today.  So that's a new tier at the training school and lower codestone costs since now I'll only be putting her in for training once a day instead of twice a day.

Starting off by saying that everyone who mentioned you're goals as a factor is absolutely right.  1P and 2P are very different and if you're looking to get into 2P leagues then the specific league you join will do a lot to guide your buying decisions.
 
Stats are super important too, since items that have lots of icons won't do much more damage than those with fewer icons unless a pet has the ATK and DEF to back up their equipment.
 
If LordFloppy is your battle pet, I'd recommend the following:
-Focus on training before getting weapons that cost more than the 99K Shop WIzard cap.  As Aquamentis12 said, check the Battlepedia page on STR and DEF boosts here.  With a current .75 dmg per icon for ATK and .5 for DEF, high-tier weapons won't boost LordFloppy's battle capabilities that much.  If you do want to upgrade anyway, I'd suggest looking through the battledome sets here.
-To help with training, you might wish to focus on being able to fight the Koi Warrior, since he usually drops more codestones than other challengers.
-As an only pet, I definitely agree with Rynarok about the Kitchen Quests.  You won't get a stat increase for every quest, but when you do get one you know you're battle pet will be the one given the boost.

A bit late but I too really liked what's now yesterday's animation.  Can't quite put into words why but I just really liked both it and the ogrin character.
 
I didn't get the feeling that the Orgin was depressed so much as that he was meant to be an older character, one who felt 'too old' to be catching snowflakes on his tongue and wanted to check and make sure no one was watching.

These two, right here.  I'd also like to add Tokyo Godfathers, which is also not 100% a Christmas movie and might actually be more of a New Years movie...  It's been a while since I last saw it, but it's definitely set during the winter at least.

The Step Out Shoes are a really old item. You may not have seen them because they're a medicinal cure.

Huh.  Neither of these are to my liking but since I haven't got a Wocky to begin with I guess it doesn't really change anything for me.
 
The 8-bit Wocky's left foreleg is larger than its right one, which could have been fixed with a few pixels to better define the chest.  The Mutant Wocky is, as already noted, not in a special pose despite not being able to wear most clothing anyway.  Add to that that is looks kinda of slapped together to me, with no real direction to the pieces.  The mouth and eyes work well enough together, but the pincer-ears and spikes on the legs don't seem to fit.  The sort of speckling coloration on the ears is only just barely visible in the main body and a little in the legs.  The yellow-green coloration on the chest looks to have a darker outline when none of the other colors get the outline treatment.  The claws are only on the forepaws.  I like the color of the ruff, since it helps incorporate the purple in the tail, but like most other posters so far the tentacle!ruff isn't working for me.  Maybe if it at least had more tentacles in the back instead of only in the front and/or the tail had also been changed to be a large tentacle or even a mass of smaller tentacles?

As one recently-former lurker to another, welcome to the forums!

Boochi, Chia Clown, Kauvara, and Punchbag Bob all have Nerkmids in their prize pools.  Not sure about drop rates but Kauvara has two different kind of Nerkmids to the other three's one.
 
For Premium members, the Cosmic Dome challengers have Nerkmids as a possible prize.
