I hear you, there are some good points. However, I ask......
Do ppl use Brave Hero Glenn? Why not? Because not all pets are created equal.
I still hold firm that overhauls are not the answer. Why? We have seen this movie before, many times.....Sic > Ready, Increase pet stats, Pet stat food, etc, etc. No realistic overhaul can make Brave Hero Glenn a powerful pet. But...A powerful species does not need an overhaul.
Overhaul is vague. What are we overhauling? What does it entail? How many of these fixes have we had now? Too many to count..
Improved jug species? It entails better jug selection (Including moves). Again, overhauls are vague. Better species are not.
Example of how improve jug selections would surpass any overhaul...
A Wivre, Granite Skin? He cannot be physically hurt from the front. Along with Boiling Blood? This trumps any overhaul they can realistically give us. BST would be the Physical Tank
A Peiste? Grim Glower=the Party has a short amount of time to avoid any attacks from a mob. The BST would be an ace.
We all know a Death Scissor Scorp will blow any jug we currently have away...
Ruszor would also have utility because he can freeze foes for a short amount of time, = Hydro Wave absorbs water. BST has utility pending the mob.
Yztarg's normal attacks are very effective. They reduce tp, defense, or stun. It's ready moves are also great.
They could even keep Beastruction if they make the condition of use for the mob's health to be under 35% instead of the jug pet. So the Yztarg would be the finisher.
There is so much more usefulness, damage, strategy, and fun to be had with BST. However, it is all held back due to our jug pet selection. No overhaul can ever replace a solid jug selection. BST overhauls have come and gone, but BST still has the same issues players were complaining about during this forum's inception.
What has not been done? Better jug selections. Here lies the problem.
