Pets

Pets (ペット, Petto) is an in-game content in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

Gameplay
Through the main gameplay of Danganronpa 2, the player will have a virtual pet that will be accessible through the e-Handbook. It reminds of a Tamagotchi. There is a total of six unique pets the player can acquire.

The way to grow the player's pet is through taking steps in-game. Teleporting to areas and skipping manual walking do not count to those. The stages of a pet are:


 * Egg - 100 Steps to hatch
 * Chibimi - 1000 Steps to evolve
 * Cocoon Form - 100 Steps to evolve
 * Last Evolution - Varying between several 1000 steps depending on type of pet

Around 100 steps the player's pet will poop. If the player don't clean up said poop, the player's pet will grow in Despair. Giving pets presents will raise their hope level which will tie into what kind of pet the player will end up having. Also, note that giving a present to the player's pet will remove a Despair level. Pets are not picky and will accept any gift, so feeding them with cheap mineral water is the easiest strategy. Should the player aim for pets like Monokuma it is wise to first increase the Hope meter, then let the Despair grow afterwards, as presents reduce the Despair meter. Once the player's pet reaches 10 Despair hearts it will die, which should be avoided at all costs.

Upon successfully raising a pet through adulthood the player will be rewarded with Monocoins, presents and in case of Monomi and Monokuma, with a skill.
