Call it a Tamemoji. It gets its own column on your profile page complete with its stats. It evolves digi-like across emojis sharing keywords. Not sure how we'd tier them though.

Speaking of which is there a better method in pythod than using Pickle for having variables stored outside the running program

Guy who has fucked with Python here for like a decade; as far as I'm aware, sadly no. Though if it's all the data is representable in text, consider JSONs.

Please let me know if the answer is actually yes though because pickle is a pain.
