Cornflakes Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Look what I snagged out of the pound just now - http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=I_luv_COOL_Koi Isn't she beauteous?! I can't believe someone would give up an Orange Koi! :) Have you had any happy pound grabs? Quote
Sakurabelle Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Awww, she's cute! I saw a striped skeith in the pound once. I was tempted to adopt him, because I thought the stripes were sort of cute but I figured he would have a better home with someone who likes skeiths better than me. The only pet I've adopted to keep for myself was a little red pteri. I adopted her because I thought her name was adorable, Pterialya. cute, right? :) Congrats on your find! Quote

Thank you, I'm so excited! I've been doing the "I got a goldfishie" dance. Maybe I'll put it on youtube. lol Quote
Tedhaun Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 By the way, I was lucky enough to adopt an Orange Koi and a Cloud Kiko earlier this year. Who'd give up a Cloud Kiko with good statistics? :worried: Quote
jesse_rocket Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Oh wow, congratulations, she is lovely. I'm amazed anyone would give that up, especially since it was clearly made as a Koi, not just a lab zap that made the owner say "I HATE Kois, I can't stand to look at it a minute longer" or something.

Wembly Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 not just a lab zap that made the owner say "I HATE Kois, I can't stand to look at it a minute longer" or something. Haha, that was amusing to read. I was actually kind of tempeted when my lab pet turned peophin. There is just something about a horse with a mermaid tail that creeps me out :guiltysmiley: but I hung in there since I picked the name out specifically for him to become a Lutari but thankfully he didn't last long as a peophin. But your new koi is super cute but oh my goodness, you have a garlic jubjub :woot: AWESOME! I am also dreaming of a garlic kiko. Quote
Anime Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Peophin are based on Hippocampus, mythical creatures that are half horse half fish. Aside from snagging some rather well named pets from the pound, I caught (forever ago) my Purple Jetsam Kimmopix. Never been sure why she was pounded, she's got ok stats and a good battle record. She was adopted long before transfers (going by her petpet's age, I've had her a little over 4 years), otherwise I'm sure she'd have been traded... VWN LE pet, after all. Quote
SlightlyCautious Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I've never gotten anything good from the pound, but I'm waiting on the purge right now to get a certain name. Congrats on your koi! Quote
Kuroida Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 we're having a purge? o.0 And congrats on the find! I can't believe someone would pound her. Orange pbs aren't cheap! (I should know. I"m saving up for one right now) :P The best thing I ever saw in the pount was a cloud ruki....not too fond of rukis or the cloud color so I passed. I don't visit the pound much anyways. I'm too picky with names Quote
keithp Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 To be honest, as I zap pets and then pound them so other people can adopt them, people are VERY picky on neo. I have donated split,shadow,mutant, and darigan pets, and people told me the name doesnt fit the pet or they dont like the color. How can you be picky when you get a painted pet for almost nothing!

I'm amazed anyone would give that up, especially since it was clearly made as a Koi, not just a lab zap that made the owner say "I HATE Kois, I can't stand to look at it a minute longer" or something. Thank you! I know right! At first I thought maybe I intercepted an unsafe transfer. But I haven't received any Neomails, so... Haha, that was amusing to read.

But your new koi is super cute but oh my goodness, you have a garlic jubjub :woot: AWESOME! I am also dreaming of a garlic kiko. Peophins :sick01: Thankies :) I loove my Frixilate. I think the Garlic Jubs are cuter than the Garlic Kikos. *eg* Aside from snagging some rather well named pets from the pound, I caught (forever ago) my Purple Jetsam Kimmopix. Never been sure why she was pounded, she's got ok stats and a good battle record. She was adopted long before transfers (going by her petpet's age, I've had her a little over 4 years), otherwise I'm sure she'd have been traded... VWN LE pet, after all. That is awesome. Their loss, your gain! I've never gotten anything good from the pound, but I'm waiting on the purge right now to get a certain name. Congrats on your koi! Thank you :) And uhhh, what's purge? I mean I know what the word 'purge' means but what is this process on Neopets? And congrats on the find! I can't believe someone would pound her. Orange pbs aren't cheap! (I should know. I"m saving up for one right now) :P The best thing I ever saw in the pount was a cloud ruki....not too fond of rukis or the cloud color so I passed. I don't visit the pound much anyways. I'm too picky with names Thank you! Yes, Orange PB is 550K roughly, combined with a LE pet...it's so weird to me that someone would pound her, but she's all mine now, yessss! I rarely ever visit the pound but there was another thread about abandoned Christmas pets so I decided to take a look. That's why I got so excited that I had to come running here and post it right after I got her. That kind of stuff NEVER happens to me! To be honest, as I zap pets and then pound them so other people can adopt them, people are VERY picky on neo. I have donated split,shadow,mutant, and darigan pets, and people told me the name doesnt fit the pet or they dont like the color. How can you be picky when you get a painted pet for almost nothing! I know, the whole name thing is really weird to me. My Darigan Grundo, Cujo_08, was given to me by someone here at the forum. Did I care about the name?? Heck no!!!! He's the coolest Grundo EVER and he'll always be with me. Quote
Kuroida Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 For me personally. The name is important because it helps prove that I am the pets creator (like a pride of ownership thing)....and it might also be that most of my names follow the same theme (all leters of the greek alphabet) except for my first pet (who's just special that way) :P If I had random names and random pets then it wouldn't follow the theme. @slightly cautious: I don't know if this is what's confusing you but if you meant "purge" as in when TNT will get rid of old neopets. That was just another thread made on here. It's highly doubtful that it will ever happen. Let alone any time soon.... Quote
hrtbrk Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 OT: The name/pet purge has been happening off and on for a few weeks now :P Congrats on the pound find! I've had some pretty good luck as well finding a sponge, zombie, desert, rainbow and snow (yay for the avatar) pets via the pound :D Quote
Kuroida Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 seriously? well then my mistake. But seriously, why go through all the trouble? o.0 Today I found a christmas bruce in the pound...with no clothes...-_- Quote
Tedhaun Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 OT: The name/pet purge has been happening off and on for a few weeks now :P Congrats on the pound find! I've had some pretty good luck as well finding a sponge, zombie, desert, rainbow and snow (yay for the avatar) pets via the pound :D Man hrtbrk, you do a better job at pound surfing than I do! I used to keep track of all of the painted pets I encounter at the pound on a piece of paper. Quote
siemis Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Oh she's so cute *_* Concratulations =D I was never so lucky to find a painted pet in the pound but I care more for the name as for the color... Quote
Angeló Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 congratulations :) Orange PB is 550K roughly, combined with a LE pet...it's so weird to me that someone would pound her sorry to burst your bubble, but the Orange Koi morphing potion is 40k only on the shop wiz because the Wheel of Excitement gives it out (before it was petrified of course), so someone probably used it to get the Kauvara avatar then pounded the Koi for another owner who will give her a good home ... that would be you ... don't be discouraged though , a cool pet is a cool pet :) Quote
Kuroida Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 oh...well whatever. To get a pet worth 40K for nothing is still pretty good either way right? :P Quote
Angeló Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 oh...well whatever. To get a pet worth 40K for nothing is still pretty good either way right? :P yeah it is a very nice pound catch nonetheless :) I like Kois Quote
Guest Yoshinho Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I found a Magma pet AND a Island pet in the pound. Took both in. Quote
Spritzie Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I found a Magma pet AND a Island pet in the pound. Took both in. I didn't realize you could now get Magma pets from the pound. Previously, they turned Red when you pounded them. Quote
Cornflakes Posted December 19, 2010 Author Posted December 19, 2010 congratulations :) sorry to burst your bubble, but the Orange Koi morphing potion is 40k only on the shop wiz because the Wheel of Excitement gives it out (before it was petrified of course), so someone probably used it to get the Kauvara avatar then pounded the Koi for another owner who will give her a good home ... that would be you ... don't be discouraged though , a cool pet is a cool pet :) Bubble successfully bursted :P :O I had no idea the potion was so cheap...I would have had an orange koi a long time ago. I never even thought of it. >>Loser Quote
BEE. Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I've come across quite a few painted pets in the pound. But it's been a few months since I saw a rare Quote
jetaime Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Congrats! Once I got a snow pet. Not much, but it as right before I was gonna buy a snow pb so I saved a little bit! Quote
Cornflakes Posted December 20, 2010 Author Posted December 20, 2010 I threw that koi back in the pound and created my own orange koi with a MUCH better name. LOL So much for celebrating. Quote
