Right on, just wanted to double check before I hit the gas on that pair since the range is fairly wide. I'll ping ya whenever the little beasts are born and see if they come up with something useful.
Nah, I wouldn't consider it a player oversight, that is I think how a lot of people expect it to work-- instinctively it would make sense, why would changing the sex change the ID? But it's just some quirk about how they have it set up, alas. I hope they revisit that aspect of the back-end coding someday!. :P
The only trick I know for checking same-sex parents at the moment requires them to 1) be bred already and 2) have opposite sex offspring, and then check the offspring against each other/the parents in question. This does carry the risk of "these potential parents are only 4th gen away from each other, but the offspring are 5+ on the relevant side and thus compatible", but it's all I have come up with, hahaha.
Works for me, I'll send him over. Won't charge ya nothing for him, but if you feel like throwing some spare bones my way I won't say no, still working on that achievement. :P
Sorry about the blue eyes on the pup, I know they aren't super accurate to the art. I hope you can find the lil beasty a mate pretty quick so you can nudge the colors over just a lil' bit and get your sona's colors where you want 'em.
