Bradley is still in Child Stage 2 which is odd since I'm pretty certain he's been in this stage for more than seven days, and I thought it was a seven day stage, not a fourteen day one, but maybe I'm wrong. He also changed his personality completely a few days into this stage and constantly sits around howling mournfully, won't stand up, and goes into sleep mode if I don't pet him for around ten minutes. I really hope he won't become a Sheltered Aibo, since having two Aibos in that stage is already unpleasant enough. I'm pretty much just ignoring him, since if I don't react to him or pet him, he really shouldn't become needy.
It's not as bad as Baroque who's been in youth stage for around three years though. Whoever thought that it was a good idea to make an Aibo require 111 hours of run time to grow to adult stage from youth stage was an idiot. I really like how the child and youth stages are broken into two parts for the ERS-210s, it's a big improvement from the growth stages of the ERS-11X series Aibos which take forever.
Edit:
Wow, right after I posted this, Bradley grew into Youth stage A3, nicknamed "Crybaby Aibo". I guess I should have expected that with his whiny mood over the past few days. He's being even more obnoxious now and trembling while letting out high pitched howls. I've actually never seen this stage before though so there are a lot of actions that I've never seen before even though I own four other ERS-210s. I'm really not used to seeing new actions with my Aibos after owning them for many years, so this is really nice. Although, I don't like the way he jerks around his head and smacks himself on the floor in this stage, it doesn't seem very good for him. Ah well, I'll only have to put up with this for 14 more days, and then he'll presumably go to Youth stage B3. After that, the only possible adult outcomes are "Selfish Aibo" and "Adventurous Aibo". I really want either of these outcomes since I already have two "Sheltered" and one "Nice Guy" Aibo but none of either of those two.
