I have seen alot of people complaining about pet battles, with things such as DES PET BATLES R FUR CIDS and ITS TEH POKEMONS. So I think I will give my opinion on the subject.
I think it's a great idea. Yes it is essentially Pokemon with WoW pets but I fail to see how copying a series that is thoroughly enjoyable and that has achieved such massive success (215 million+ pokemon games sales) is a bad thing. A Pokemon MMO is something people have requested for a very long time and not only is Blizzard providing Pokemonesque gameplay it is included in a much larger overall game.
And then there is the obvious point that needs to be made, PET BATTLES ARE OPTIONAL. If you do not want to have pet battles, you are not required to have pet battles. From what I have seen pet battles seem to be completely optional and self contained, they do not affect any other area of gameplay, if you do not want to do it you can completely ignore it.
So please explain to me what the issue is with the completely optional yet likely to be highly enjoyable feature?
