A lot of hay is being made over the fact that they're changing the lineart on some of the UCs (ones you describe as being drawn with the pen tool). Most notably, the Faerie Ixi you designed. What's your take on that?
So it's tough! I love them, but those earlier pen tool pets just don't scale as well—and don't really match the style standards that would get set in place less than a year later. When you zoom into the vector files you can reeeeally see how the fidelity drops when you aren't seeing them as 150x150px gifs:
the pets drawn with the brush tool, however, are clean enough that you could use 'em right out of the box:
It would take a deft hand to re-draw the pen tool pets with weighted lines and maintain the appeal of the originals, but I do think it's totally doable! And they absolutely should have kept the coloured lines, c'mon now. 😑
