I realize that Pet battles are still in early development and all that but just thinking about it, how are some of these gonna be fair? we got a mini thor with cannon guns on its back against a balloon.....
I know Blizz will find some way to equalize this but rlly. in terms of Actuality how are these supposed to be even?

And in Pokemon, a yellow rat can blast a thing 10 times it's size and knock it out. In Monster Rancher, a cute monster girl can absolutely obliterate a dragon 3 times larger then her. In Dragon Warrior Monster, a simple Slime can clean up the board against a wide variety of monsters. And in Digimon, a thing that looks like a Child can just mop the floor with anything that comes up against it.
In other words; reality left the building a long time ago.

A thunderstrike into my goblin can make a mountain sized giant fly 50+ meters.

So, yeah - don't worry, I'm sure it won't be imbalanced based on how the pet looks. If anything, it'll only make it more hilarious for the players, I'm sure.
:D

ok Fine good answer but what are the attacks supposed to be for a balloon or a kite? dont forget about the frogs and rabbits. We got all these rlly weird pets that are for fun and looks but in pet battles how are they supposed to fight. We were even just given a walking crate.
Edit: going back and looking at the crate animations, i take back that part.....

here's how:
pets will be divided by "families" with mechanical pets being given a set of moves, animal pets given another, humanoid pets another, bug pets another.
and to keep it balanced, all the spells would be just reskins.
Like the baby raptor pet having access to: Bite, deals 50 points of damage, 4 seconds cooldown, whereas the baloon can have: Rocket blast, deals 50 points of damage, 4 seconds cooldown.
see?

Tongue Lashing from Frogs, Rabbits will probably have super kicks(though to be fair, a rabbit is a hell of a lot more dangerous then you realize for it's size: a good solid kick from one of them can break the neck of anything roughly it's size), the kites will probably preform dive bomb attacks, the Balloons will probably have a self destruct attack....and the Creepy Crate already kills critters by eating them or blasting them with a beam of purple death energy heh.

Balloon uses Leer on Mini-Thor.
...
It's not very effective.

Balloon could probably tie itself around the enemy pet, fly them up high, untie and drop em'.

Things so vile and vicious, only the great Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch could stop them?

Is
Goblin Weather Machine - Prototype 01-B
considered a pet?
No, it's an item with a use effect.

We all know Rabbits are gonna win.
Also, I think some pets are unlikely to fight.

As a regular Pokémon player since the launch in EU, I do know how many things aren't simply possible in real life. Mostly I'm aiming at the Horde/Alliance Balloons, there is infact 2 Pokémons that are balloons. That is
Drifblim
And it's un-evolved form Drifloon, and they did work out, whether you believe it or not.

That would remind me alot of
Castform
who changes appearance after the weather, and also could control the weather in the game.
I'm really sorry if mixing Pokémon into this annoys people, but that is just what I grew up with and what I'll keep on playing regularly.

True, but the example given in the OP, about a balloon fighting, is a little bit beyond even WoW's twisted "reality" so to speak.

Guys I hear Blizzard is making this whole game with nine classes. I know it's in early development and all but just thinking about it, how are some of these gonna be fair? We've got guys who can shoot fireballs and other guys who can go almost invisible and still other guys who can turn into bears...
How in actuality are these supposed to be equal?
