Sounds adorable <3 It definitely fits St Patricks Day. Everytime I think of platypus now though (since I have a 2 yr old in love with Phineas and Ferb) I automatically hear Perrys theme song lol. She has platypus all over her room xD
Support! It'd be very cool to get another Seasonal in the game (although quite honestly there needs to be something for that massive gap in between Easter and Halloween), and Atquati is really neglected as far as Seasonals. It's only Seasonal is one that has to be exchanged, while the other three elemental planets all have one, even two findable Seasonals.
DISCLAIMER: I know everyone is going to hate me for saying this. Sorry but I don't really support this. I DON'T MEAN TO BE A PARTY POOPER.
The thing is that res' design principals have moved away from funny coloured animals in nature and mixing two animals together (though I am very disappointed with the narwi. It's not really imaginative design). This design here is just a funny coloured platypus. Platipi don't even have any relation to St Patrick's day. I was on res when the original thread was up, I read it and I know all of the reasons I have just said was mentioned there. Putting horns or spikes or something on the plaidypus (I think that's what the suggested name was? lol I don't remember) won't make it any more of an 'original' design. I know that I have complained about the idea of trying to be as 'original' as possible and how it's a silly idea to just be completely different from other pet sites. However, I feel that this is just a poor design. It needs to be amended. And by amending, I don't mean treating the animal like a sticker page. It shouldn't just be a platypus with a shamrock (I believe that's what it's called) on it. It should be a CREATU.
Also, another reason mentioned on the previous thread is that St Patrick's day is not universally celebrated. It's only really celebrated in the 'Western' end of the world (yes, Halloween, St Valentine's day and Christmas is celebrated here. I live in as Islamic country in South East Asia btw). Most of the Europeans and Americans that live where I live don't celebrate St Patrick's day anyways. But yet again, it's not really a valid arguement to me because I don't celebrate any of the holidays celebrated on res anyways (yes, I don't do Christmas).
