why are GOTY pets always dogs and cats? I really wish ag would have unique pets, like frogs, and chickens. But no we always have *forgot kavi's dogs name* flurry or a doll with only the most exotic animals that there whole story is based around.... Why can't a normal city GOTY have a unique pet?

Why is it that pets in GOTY stories are always dogs and cats? Don’t get me wrong, I like them, but I’d really love to see something different — like frogs, chickens, or even more unusual companions. Instead, every time it’s the same: a loyal dog, or a quirky cat, and the whole plot revolves around them. Why can’t an ordinary city “Game of the Year” character have a unique pet for once?
I get what you mean — it does feel like the "default" for GOTY pets is always cats or dogs, and while they’re cute, it’s not exactly original anymore. Pets like frogs, chickens, or even something a bit quirky would definitely add personality and give the dolls a fresh story angle. Having unique pets could also reflect the diversity of real-life hobbies and lifestyles better, instead of repeating the same formula.
It’s a bit like gaming rewards — people enjoy variety and surprises. That’s why I like checking out things such as Lucky Hills promotions, since they always keep the experience exciting with different bonuses and fresh options. A similar approach in GOTY pets could make the releases feel more creative and fun each year.
Seriously, right?! I guess they're the most popular pets, so it's an easy win for the devs. My dog would be a lock for "Most Messy" award... which reminds me, I need to book my dog waste removal service again
I know! Why can't GOTY's have bunnies and chickens as pets? I guess AG feels like since dogs are popular they guess they can just make those-
