Pets

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

Gameplay
Throughout Danganronpa 2, the player will have a virtual pet that will be accessible through their e-Handbook. It is similar to a Tamagotchi. There are a total of six unique pets that the player can acquire.

The four stages of a pet are:

After hatching from it's egg into a Chibimi, your pet will accumulate Hope and Despair depending on your actions. What pet evolves from Chibimi's cocoon form is determined by Chibimi's Hope and Despair levels prior to entering it's cocoon. If a pet accumulates 10 points of Despair it will die, and it will take another 2,000 steps to get a new egg.

Hope is raised by 1 point every time you give your pet a present. Pets have no preference for gives, so the cheapest gift to give your pet is Mineral Water, which can be purchased from the Vending Machine in Rocketpunch Market for 1 Monocoin. Hope can never decrease.

Every 100 steps, your pet will poop. If you do not clean up after your pet, your pet's Despair will gradually raise. Despair will be lowered every time you give your pet a gift.

Keeping a pet alive for 2,000 steps after reaching adulthood will give the player rewards.
