I tried to get back into Neopets last year though it just felt like a slog of daily tasks to complete over and over whilst you tried to progress to some simple goals you set yourself. Sadly that sort of stuff doesn't hook me for long as it loses it's charm pretty quickly.

I have been asked to not bring this up as much as I do but we need Neopets on IOS and Android. A “world” that functions as a png-style menu, engagement focused on its wide mini game collection, based around the concept of taking care of a creature that requires at least daily attention, skins and customization galore… Through the use of phones and tablets, Neopets could truly become what Tomagachi dreams it was.

I came back to neopets last year just a few days before they announced the new management. I missed this game sm, I really hope it comes back strong!

My favorite thing about NeoPets was that goalie game. If you scored in your own net, it would flash to a hilarious scene of the crowd of screaming while shaking their fists

I actually still have some Neopets figures. Remember those small plastic figurines that Pokemon had? Neopets had them too. I still have the three I originally bought: a light blue Aisha, a green Grundo, and a Kacheek with a sky pattern. I kept them with these figurines from the Lilo & Stitch TV show because they fit in close enough. I just unpacked it, and it was a nice hit of nostalgia!

Bruce Forsyth's weird pose was always followed by his catchphrase "Nice to see, to see you, nice!" - for us 90's kids who grew up with the Generation Game or Strictly Come Dancing in his later years he was a national treasure.

Hearing the neopets video game music in the background has really brought back the 3rd grade nostalgia

Oh a new neopets video...LOCKSTIN!?!??!?!?

I've been playing neopets for 20 years!!! thank you for doing this video, it's awesome to see a big name covering my favorite little hellsite! i'd love to see another vid, maybe about the different lands you can visit or the petpets or the paint brush color origins..... there is sooo much to touch on, i think it was definitely the lore-heaviest browser game for a long time. Never forget the Invasion of Meridell

As someone who got into neopets fairly late (2018) and it has since become a special interest for me, this video was a jumpscare in my feed. Never would I have expected Neopets to be featured on this channel.

It’s only a matter of time until he is talks about every piñata creature

Ahhh thank you for this video, you guys! I've been a Neopets user for over 10 years and it makes me see people be interested in it again and watching it progressively go back to its glory days! You're making kid me from the early 2000s very happy ^^

In regards to Tuskaninny, there was a famous Italian conductor named Arturo Toscanini

As a kid, I remember having: Eyrie, Flotsam, Grarrl, Hissi, Kougra, Kyrii, Lupe, Scorchio, Shoyru, and Techo over the multiple accounts I had made (I made multiple because I would often stop playing for suck long stretches that I'd forget my log-in information). Though my favorites were always Lupe, Kougra, Grarrl, and Flotsam. Though if I made an account today for the hell of it, I would definitly go for Lutari.

Oh Neopets, brings back so much memories. I remember a friend of mine won a silver paint brush from the Wheel of Fortune mini game and she used it on a Shoyru, I was jealous as getting paint brushes were so hard and some of them you needed like 30,000 Neopoints.

23:35 Just like Sentret. Might not be a coincidence.

22:34 I have a blue Lupe named after my first dog who I had at the time I created the Lupe. My dog was a grey mixed breed Austrian Shepard and the blue Lupe looked kind of like her. I later gave the Lupe a Cumulus Wings in memoriam of her.

Bro, the memories that just flooded my mind just reading Neopets. Back in the day my cousins and I would go to the local satellite college after school to play it. So many good afternoons rushing down after school to play this and Runescape.

So much nostalgia. I still remember when they had the tiny plushes at McDonald's.

Wow, I didn't expect you to cover Neopets of all things. Man, I still remember my one and only Shoyru.

I actually just started with Neopets after my partner was feeling nostalgic and recovered their account. I started with a Wocky, ended up with a Grundo and a Buzz as well. They're like my own Three Amigops.

Good lord, what a blast from the past this is... from what little I remember about my time playing Neopets like 15-20 years ago, I remember Kacheek and Shoyru being my favorites. EDIT: And it looks like younger me had extremely basic taste, because those were the two most popular ones. But now that the video has refreshed my memory on all of the different ones, I remember liking Kiko and Wocky too.

Thank you for making this video! I loved hearing all the background music from the mini games! I think I started playing Neopets in the early 2000's when I was in middle school. I definitely had an obsession back then. My mom even caught me playing instead of doing my homework one time. I kept playing through high school, but definitely less often. Throughout the last few years though, I made sure to go on my accounts to make sure they weren't deleted. I've been playing daily again since November 2023. The new daily/weekly challenges have got me wanting to play more often! I've always loved Lupes, Eyries, and Unis, but have developed a love for Krawks and various other pets, depending on their paint color.

I'll also add that I used to get plushies of the pets at a store called Limited Too! I think I still have them all somewhere. Plus, they came with virtual codes for cool prizes, which was a nice bonus!

One game I have been wanting you to cover for a while now is My Singing Monsters. The monster designs are very unique and there are over 200 of them (not including variations). I grew up with the game when it came out in 2012 and is part of the reason I'm as into music creation as I am now.

24:41 There's also Nimue, the Lady of the Lake of Arthurian legend.

27:58 this one will always be my #1 favorite Neopet ^^

Flotsam and Jetsam are also a reference to The Little Mermaid, as those are the names of Ursula's eels

i was so excited to see this. also, can i just add that 29:29 Shoyru was a fan made design! for years TNT weren't sure if it was supposed to have 2 eyes or 1.

I think I still have a shadow Aisha plush in a drawer somewhere. Edit: My first Neopet was a Scorchio (or maybe it was a Shoryu), but it wasn't long before I adopted an Aisha (named Aishanoette) from the pound, which quickly became my primary.

There's so much lore caked into this whole site

Yeah, I was in high school at the time, and while I was still playing Pokemon, I never got into Neopets.

I was 3 in 2005 & thus Neopets was never a part of my development. Now though, now I am intrigued…. I want to collect all the ones that look like dessert.

i was born in 2005 and been playing since july last year, i love it. i bought merch made paintings of neopets characters. its definitely daunting to get into but jellyneo makes it easy

I was obsessed with neopets from 2003-2006. It basically took over my love for pokemon during that time before I reverted back.

I lost access to my original account thanks to my dad no longer having access to his super old email (and 5 year old me most definitely making a fake birthday to be allowed to play). I had a Shadow Kougra and miss her so much! I remember so much about that account I’ll search it up just to check on her when I can. I’m love the account and pets I have now, but man I miss that Kougra so much. Thank you for the nostalgia with this video!!

I’m so old, I got told in high school by a teacher that I was abusing the internet at school by playing the games in Neopets during study hall. Also, my pets are older than some of my social media followers.

I love this! A wonderful blast from the past. Also wanted to mention, koi is probably also taking inspiration from the beta fish, which are popular (if poorly kept) pets. They are solitary, and males will fight to the death by tearing at each other's fins, hence the fins becoming fists.

I literally gasped when I saw Lockstin did a Neopets video! As a resident of Neopia I thank you for this good content!

I was an original player, right from the get go, even though I was in my early 20s at the time. I was obsessed, though I only had dial-up, which made some aspects of the site difficult. I stopped playing for one main reason......they got super ban-happy. They began banning people left, right and centre, often for unfounded reasons. I saw so many of my friends lose accounts they'd spent years working on, for NO reason, and getting no explanation or help from the 'neopets team', and it killed any enthusiasm I had. I wasn't prepared to put work into something that could be taken away at any moment, with no explanation and no chance of getting it back. I had a ton of expensive painted pets, too. I even met friends through the game that Im still friends with now! Insane. Skeiths were my favourite species.

I would LOVEEEE to see you cover Monster Sanctuary! It's such a refreshing take in the creature collector genre and deserves so much attention!

Thank you for making this video! I've long time ago had a neopet plush and lost it but I didn't know if it was this or a pokemon and my parents searched for weeks for a replacement before we gave up... Now I can fill the hole that's been left in my heart for over a decade...

I still remember that one ice cream minigame 😂 I had the griffin dude as my neopet back in the early 2000s

I'm signing up Neopets again after more than a decade thanks to this vid🥴

My very best friend and I bonded when we first met over playing Neopets very dedicatedly. My first account is still there but I can't access it. Millions in NP and tons of exclusive old items from near the start. But, I wanted back in. So I made a new one last year, just in time for the Altador Cup, a nice thing to come around for. I was so pleasantly surprised to see Vandagyres. I got one and then a bunch from the pound. It's as charming as ever, and I still love it

I always had the idea of turning Neopets into Pokémon or vice versa

Not only do I indeed remember Neopets, i STILL have my three small neopets plushes, being Gelert, Grrarl and Meerca all are Light Blue Colored! ^_^ although there's some Neopets plushes i still want

So happy made this video! I played Neopets so much in Middle school and some high school and got back into itna few years ago! I am glad it has been getting some good coverage on KZread in the last few years too! 😁

Neat. I really enjoy watching Lockstin in these sorts of videos. I wonder if he'll ever cover Persona (or Shin Megami Tensei in general). I doubt he'd touch the Sujimon from Like A Dragon, but that could be fun as well.

I came back to play Neopets at the end of last year because the new management is doing some really interesting stuff (though there are some parts of the site that are broken and some games too) I totally recommend if somebody wants to experience the full nostalgia! Also looooved that you have put the music tracks for the games, this is so nostalgic to me!

31:44 Except Italian Ice is Itallian-American and has roots in Sicilian granita and Italian soda is also Itallian-American, originally made with syrup from Lucca.

Always such a trip seeing neopets being talked about by people outside the active community - everyone should come back to Neopia! We’re still here and would love to have you!

This was such an unexpected nostalgia trip, and I really appreciate the deviation from your usual pokemon stuff! Hope to see more of this in the future!

AAAAHHHHH YOURE DOING A VIDEO ON NEOPETS!!!!! I JUST SAW THE NOTIFICATION AND IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH IT!! Your pokemon videos are great and I watch them with my partner all the time! I talk to him about Neopets, but I know it's not really his thing, so I don't go into much detail. I'm so excited to show this to him so he has more context!!! Also, also, are you up to date with Neopets? So much is happening on the site!

That Soundtrack from "Neopets: The Darkest Fairy"

I wanted a Drake so bad as a kid and could never get one (from an egg or anything), while a few years ago in 2020 I accrued enough to get a pirate Drake egg. It was the cheapest one and still very very pricy in nps. Kougra in red was also a big fave of mine aside from Ixi (green or yellow) and Lupe in blue. So classic. No I was never able to get any paintbrushes either as a kid (the free starter ones don't count lol). I was lucky as a kid to get one of those cute toy animatronic blue uni.

I'm really glad you made this video, because I have never heard of some of these.

Hearing Usul and having a dozen Dune videos to the side of this video made my day (Usul is Paul's Fremen name). Anyway, Xweetok is the best pet, and it's the thing I remember most about Neopets. ♥

Completely forgot about Neopets before you made this video.

I needed this after just finishing MatPat's last Style Theory, thank you

Fun fact (or non-fact), before the word Alicorn was make popular by MLP FiM many places either called a winged unicorn a Pegasus or a Unicorn (though some just said Winged Unicorn)... this is because the term Alicorn was the name of the horn on the unicorn at some point (and if you look up Alicorn now you will most likely get mlp references... yeah)-- so Uni's name still fits even though it's a very vanilla pet (Lupe was also very vanilla now that I think about it)

The music is giving me flashbacks and I'm frothing at the mouth catching ice cream scoops.

Active player here- thanks for using the darkest faerie soundtrack for some parts of the vid. It made my nerd heart very happy. But also you should do a video on the petpets, and the April fools neopets that never made it officially into the site.

16:14 The star of my old favorite Neopets flash game, Korbat's lab. ...Which is still unplayable even with Ruffle as the ball refuses to detatch from the paddle...

Neopets was a huge part of my Childhood. Also the fact you have the Soundtrack from Neopets The Darkest Faerie is just hitting all my Nostalgia Points. Thanks for this Video, I Loved it. It reminded me of my Favorite Neopets and the good times I had with em. Glad I still have all mine. 💛😻😻😻💛

29:39 Crossed with Spyro

35:54 I mean, Neopets had a McDonald's in Neopia Central for a very long time. One of the later owners got rid of it eventually though.

24:24 Funny thing is, I keep mixing up JumpStart with LeapFrog in my mind and JumpStart owned Neopets for a while.

I can’t wait for lockstin to cover an obscure Lego series called Mixels that was released in 2014.

Great video! Please make more content on Neopets, especially some of the lore and worldbuilding revealed through the plots!

started playing neopets for the first time 7 months ago and have played at least once daily since, it's already back as far as im concerned.

If you remembered Neopets, then maybe also cover creatures & dragons from FlightRising? That’s basically also browser-based game about collecting & breeding dragons + collecting other creatures
