ive been all over the forums and im just missing them, can someone link my to the posts that tell you what different colors of stars, different poses and what to or not to look for when capturing a wild pet?

star colour

Pose just tells you what gender the pet is- if you have trouble remembering which is which you can check by glancing at the generator or the pet's image url
If you meant something else by pose though you'll have to clarify

That is perfect and what I was looking for! Thanks
