Although I don't really care too much about having a monster for a pet, I'd rather Yoshi-P make use of that wasted potential from 1.0, the Path Companion, and allow a player to summon him or her for assistance when needed, like the NPC Fellow players could get in FFXI.

Monster pets are one thing, but there would be nothing like summoning a roegaydn PGL NPC to your side to help beat up that mob that foolishly decided to pick a fight with you.
