No decision has been made yet on trading in previous pets "chop shop" as you put it but the player feedback has been passed on to the team.Time to collect another 128 tokens, Smelly!I'm waiting for the next one, I know what it may be already and it has swayed me.
I also am waiting for better ones, the dog and bunny stats weren't that appealing and it looks odd having a bunny following me around.
You might like the next one or it might be the event after depending.
