Would anyone happen to know...

...which post-revamp pets have the option of switching back to their original poses? I need to carefully consider painting some of my pets since most of them look awful in what I wanted to paint them (royal and faerie, specifically). Thanks for the help!

I don't think you can switch any of them back - it's more of a "grandfathered" situation: if they were already painted in the old pose, some of them have the option to not convert. Unfortunately, if you paint them now, they go straight to the new pose. {sigh}

o__0 I wasn't aware that option was available at all. I know some painted pets could choose to remain in their old poses (like my Darigan Jetsam), or permanently switch to the new one, if they were already painted before The Great Customization Change, as said in this FAQ. I always thought all changes to any pet will be rendered in the new artwork, like painting, etc.

edit;
Pickles beat me ;)

Ugh...just what I didn't want to here. Thanks anyways guys, but do you know of a page that lists the pets that did have the option?

I'm not aware of a list of which pets got the option, but there is this petpage with a directory of pets that were grandfathered.

To save you the trouble of scrolling, the petpage says:
Which pets got the option not to be converted?
As far as I am aware, all of the Darigan, Grey and Plushie pets got the option to convert. And some Faerie, Royal, Baby, Mutant, Halloween, Robot, Desert, Tyrannian and Maraquan pets got the option too, but not all of them.
If I have a grandfathered pet, then paint it another colour, will it still be grandfathered?
A friend of mine tested this out and no. If for example, you have a grandfathered Darigan Aisha, and you choose to paint it say, Grey. Your Aisha will become the converted Grey Aisha, you will not get an option to choose the old Grey Aisha. So bare this in mind if you are considering repainting your grandfathered pet.
