So I just spent like 50M on 6 Jadinkos and they are all males named Peter. This sucks. How do i get a female? I just wasted so much money and cant even reproduce them....

It's not. Just want to clarify that.

What we have here is the sinister power of probability. It's a 50/50 chance on the gender of the animal when you check it, so somehow you've just been rolling the same gender for a long while. It happens.

The same names is a weirder one, there's nothing in the code that should do this and I've checked several times and can't reproduce the strangeness myself, so either there's something very specific that is doing this (and it's not apparent in the code) or once again the curse of probability is there, since any name is the same probability as any other name.

Just wanted to step in and confirm no sinister conspiracy at work to force you to do anything. Though I do recommend trading with players as it'll make it easier to get the specific things you want.
