I think it would be really cool if there was a sort of mini game we could play with our pets that aren't placed!

Maybe something like a top down maze sort of game, or a side view fight sort of game to get exclusive items? but then to make it more fair, make it so it only allows you to play once or twice a day (resetting at midnight)
It wouldn't be just exclusive items, but it could be like a chance at an item that you can only obtain via auctions or the game itself.

A simple mock screenshot:
Obviously it would be animated but just a cute idea for a short mini game we could do with pets that aren't currently placed to give players something to do when they run out of other things to do! Maybe the sprites from the house could be used since they're already existing renders and it would take less time to create slight adjustments for movement.
Plus the mini game could also be used to expand the lore of the game as well, like environments and possible hostile creatures!
also sorry if the image for the mock-up is horrible i only have MSPaint to work with :x

Eventually I do want the site to have more activities, and more ways to interact with your own pets. Your suggestion and example image remind of the simple activities on the Pokewalker (not my image) that would award you items and pokemon. Those were fun and not too time-consuming. It would be cool to have similar activities here, and I'm suggesting rather than a limit to how much you can play, a cap on how much stuff you can win from them. Regardless I'm always in favor of minigames or more activities in general, whatever they may end up being.

@PearlyGirl

That would be fun! Honestly I'd support any minigame idea, as long as it means there's more to do on the site.

I think this is one of those things that Komodo may need to hire somebody to make though, so it may be a while before we have stuff like this.
