okay so ive been hearing a lot about reindeer Qitaris from christmas and valentine bulboris for valentine.. but when do you know which is a real reindeer or valentine etc. ??

You can check them from their status, whether it is generated or caught. The real one would be of course the caught ones, not breed, not generated.

Second, check from the date they were caught it is also written as birthday. As an example, I'll show you my Reindeer Qitari http://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=1912, he was caught and his birthday is 23rd of December.

Same goes for both Valentine and Chocolate Bulboris, the difference is their caught date, you can check from our past Week of Love event and see the event dates so you know when they should be caught to be the real ones.

Bulbori Example :

He's been Mutated though, but he IS original~ :3
Also, when looking into an "offspring", you can always look
through his Parents if they are Originally "Original", eventually
we'll have a Genealogic Tree to check that faster one day...
I guess~ XP
