Sirtaki you should REALLY watch Louie the Rune Soldier (although I do think the Rune in the title refers to ruines and not ancient runes).
It's about 3 adventurer girls that want to complete their little group: they need a magician. The magician they find however is... Louie o.o. He's as stupid as one can be. The show just offers a lot of comedy and you'll learn to love all the characters.
Hey there's even a Snape-like person in there
xd (you can see him in the opening tune; oh yeah and he's afraid of snakes
rofl )
The first couple of episodes were English (dubbed) but the voices are really good! You should so watch this show; only 24 episodes and totally worth it.
whee (I wish there were more)
When I've got some free time ^^ Have you watched Ranma 1/2 yet?
About the evolving: evolving and animation are a little incompatible. Because you want them to evolve after a certain amount of time, you need a PHP script, but PHP script doesn't work with animated gifs, so there you have it. If you want to do the evolving manually by changing the picture on the server, you have to host all the pictures on your server. And that should be a server that supports direct linking, and has unlimited bandwidth. So Photobucket isn't good enough.
Also, for custom pets, I'd hate it if I make some in-between stage, the pet evolves and people never get to see the art of that stage again ^^' The mysterious evolving pets were not going to be custom.
The only thing that I might consider is some kind of egg stage, that is the same for all pets. I could sell them and it would be a surprise to the one who buys it. Would you like this? ^^'
And, like I mentioned before, the pets are already breedable. Just mention the names of the parents and I'll put them right on the certificate and even make the child look like them. (not a whole lot of parents to choose from but you can make them up if you want, maybe they were still living free in the wild
