During the normal chats in the SB, i was confused as to how people can tell when they've hatched a first of something.
like, the first mutant goiba or the first albino. basically, the first of anything.
And i thought, why not give the first 3 hatches of everything, a certificate. For just being the first 3 ever of that kind.
sure it might make that pet more expensive to sell between users, but who would want to give up the first calico ever for just normal calico price, ey?!

I'm not very good at wording, but basically, i think 'firsts' should get a certificate or something permanently on their pet profile to show they're special.

Interesting idea, but I see some bugs. The "first" of something wasn't always hatched. For example Allychan had the first Achromatic Iluvu far before they were released because she morphed him, and I got the first Calico Zaphao by using a Calico Bean. There's also the matter of the people who were first for DK colors of each species.

Also, how would it even be recorded? And how would those who already have had a "first" or whatever of something get credit? If it's only based on pet birthday, someone could bean a prehistoric Iluvu Achromatic and boot Ally off the top.

I feel like if this was to be initiated, it's only fair it credits those who had other "firsts" before this point, and doing that seems to have way too many errors.

I also don't really think this would be that important in sales. It'd help a small fraction of users... maybe.

i don't mean for it to just be hatches or ages.
if you've got the first achro, by whatever means, then you've got the first one. something being the same but having a number (that can be changed) say that it's older doesn't make it the first. 

it would be recorded just how things are recorded... i don't know how that stuff works.

i understand the confusion there. 
and the credit of it
could simply be, when you open its pet profile, there's a small pixel image of a certificate, that once you click it, it could come up with a box (like it does when you click a human avatar/pet) saying something about
*this pet* was the 1st/2nd/3rd pet to ever be *whatever it's 1/2/3 at*
it became this, on *date* with *user* as his/her owner

it would need cleaning up.. like i said, i'm not good at explaining xD

No support, because this really doesn't add anything useful to the game. 

A pet isn't officially "hatched" until it is named, and someone could have easily hatched the first of something but let it sit in their hatchery unnamed for days while deciding on a suitable name. In that time, someone else could hatch the second and get credit for it being first when really it was not.

i guess it doesn't add anything better to the game. i just thought it would be a nice addition to users to be able to see that they've got the first of something.

This would be pretty cool, but to me it just seems like it would be impossible to do, at least for pets that have already been hatched. There is no data for this on existing pets, so the system would have no way to label them.

Besides that there are all these technicalities and everyone judges what makes a pet first differently (like personally I don't count pets that are still in the hatchery) and it's just kind of a mess to try and figure it out and keep everyone happy? I'd say it's probably actually better to let people decide in their own ways.
