Some people have discovered, mainly the ~*~Guild
of the Gelerts~*~, that the loving Gelert has been neglected in
many ways. For instance, I asked two loving Gelert owners, sushichow and
tailfeathers. They had some things on their mind they had to say.
sushichow: "Gelerts are ignored way too much, they deserve
much, much better!"
tailfeathers: "Gelerts are not given the credit they
deserve, they are overlooked and ignored."
I also interviewed a distressed Gelert, Nieii. "I have
seen many Gelerts, but what do Shoyru's have that we don't? We have some
items, but we don't have plushies like more than half of the Neopian population.
We don't have a vending machine like the Aisha's! We are used to Korraling
some Kaus, I don't think that's fair. In my point of view, even
if I am a Gelert, Gelerts rule in all kinds of different ways!"
After those very distressing interviews, I decided to
look around Neopia in search of items that represent the Gelert. I first
started off in Tyrannia. I went over to the tribe
council and went over to talk to Sabre-X.
Me: "Sabre-X, where is the Gelert on the council?"
Sabre-X: "Well, nowadays, Gelerts aren't very popular
with most people...like, what games have Gelerts in it? Oh, yeah...there
is Kau Korral,
but come on, what kind of game is that?"
I, as the reporter was burning. I left immediately and
went over to the Haunted
Woods.
In the Haunted Woods, I looked at the spooky costumes.
But not to my surprise, there wasn't a Gelert that could be painted with
a Halloween Paintbrush. I went over to the Brain Tree to ask it a few
questions, since it must have all the answers!
Me: "Brain Tree, why do you think Gelerts are so unpopular?"
Brain Tree: "Well, I don't really know, I should ask
someone...thanks for the idea!"
In my head, I thought to myself, that wasn't very useful.
So, still struggling for an answer, I went over to the Happy
Valley and the Ice Caves.
As a merry little Bruce was passing by, I decided to
stop him and ask him the question. "Excuse me, mister Bruce, may I ask
you a question?" I asked him.
"Well, all right," he replied, uncertainly.
"Why are you, an almost new NeoPet, almost more popular
than the friendly Gelert?"
"You call Gelerts friendly? Just yesterday, one chased
me down the block for my Chia Pop!" Frightened, the little Bruce scurried
away.
As I was giving up hope, and returning to my NeoHome,
I saw the Uni from the pound. Quickly, I rushed over to her and asked
her about the population of the Gelerts in the pound. "Well, nowadays,
there are very few abandoned Gelerts...most of them are adopted by people
from guilds who have adoption plans and loving owners."
In conclusion I have some other evidence that Gelerts
are not only forgotten, but sometimes ignored. If you looked at the Rainbow
Pool list of the colours the Gelerts come in, they don't come in very many.
There are only chocolates that represent the Gelert. There are no plushies,
morphing potions ,very few trading cards that talk about the Gelert and
no books that talk about the Gelert's name and how they got it.
There are no key chains and T-shirts! The Chia has a
lot of Chia pops, the Aisha has a vending machine and there is a Shoyru
at the treasure hunt! So I ask, where are the Gelerts? So, I want everyone
who is reading this to think about this question; are Gelerts forgotten
or are they just ignored by the people of Neopia? Thank-you.
