So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I was trying to make my first pet and it keep giving me errors to choose a valid trait/mutation every time I hit generate, but for different genes??? Like it said it for gene 2, then 3, then mutation 2???

I had 4 traits picked, all carried. Was going to make male vulynx thing but it won't let me for some reason. I took a screenshot of the colors and stuff so I wouldn't forget so I may try later at home on the comp but still

Were you choosing restricted traits? They would be written in red and should be unselectable - although it relies on your browsers compatibility so if you're using an older browser or something, it may not be displaying correctly on your end and allowing you to select those invalid traits.

Why are there restricted traits?

Some traits are only available from special Themed Pets by participating in special limited features.

They can then be bred into the general population through breeding by those who obtained them.

In the case of Vuls, the restricted traits are:
Gene 2: Arctic nomad stripes
Gene 3: Valentine lace and Ethereal wings
Mutation 1: Ethereal wings and Arctic nomad wings
Mutation 2: Ethereal armor and Arctic nomad tail
Mutation 3: Lucky dust, Ethereal horns, and Arctic nomad horns

You won't be able to use any of those traits on your starter or generate them with an essence (valentine lace may be available again during the week of love, but that remains to be seen).

Ah, yeah those were showing up as available for me. I use the default browser on my phone, which I think is a chrome variant.

As a suggestion, possibly add a tiny bit of code in the starting page that with some browsers, some traits are actually not available. I almost didn't come to the forums to figure out what was wrong.

In today's world, there are so many browsers available and even on top of that... a lot of people won't keep their browser up to date and use very old browsers.

Javascript, HTML, and CSS add new features all the time and even the mainstream browsers struggle to keep up sometimes.

So yea, it's hard to make sure everything works on everything. =S

I'm sorry.

Fortunately, though, the error message let you know what was going on.
