I think it's kinda boring that the sylestis don't really move. like, it only has one pose. It would be cool if the sylestis can move

no support here...
that'd be a lot of work for the graphic artists. every single new pose would have to be drawn for every adult and hatchling of all species; and all mutations and all genes would have to be drawn again for each pose. all costumes would have to be drawn again. also moving pictures would take more space on servers, and also might cause lags on some users' computers.
and personally I like my pets non-animated. >w<

Have to agree with Loki, I would not support animated sylesties. Not only would it be a lot of work for the artists, it would slow down loading time and would be a big strain on the site and people's net connections. I've been on sites where they added animations to their pets, and the end result was not worth the work, in my opinion.
Also, this massive amount of work for the artists would not be a one time thing. Every time they released a gene or mutation, they would have to do a frame by frame rendering of those traits so that they moved seamlessly with the pet. This would probably make the release of any new trait take at least 10 times as long, depending on how much of the pet moves and how much of the trait was affected.

I think it would be cool, but it just isn't sylestia in my opinion. I get tired of animation sometimes too... And it lets me think more and imagine how they work. Also what about trait design contests?

Unfortunately I would have to Agree with everyone else, not only would it be difficult to program site wide, it also wouldn't serve any purpose and would probably get repetitive. But If we do ever see a pet Bio slot, I think a personal Gif could be added there.

Agreed! Animation takes time and effort. Thus the pets would have to be re drawn which would take much longer. So I do not support this.
I would love it, but the loading time would just be a pain. X3

While it would be cool to see, I do not support this suggestion. Animating the pets would require a ton of work for the artists and it would require extra server space to store the images. Servers cost a lot of money. Plus, it would like slow down the loading speed of each page that has an animated pet on it. Animation would just bring about a whole bunch of unnecessary problems.
However, I wouldn't be against an animated NPC here and there if the storyline called for it.
