Lovers Shiny Spawn Question
I've seen three Shiny Lovers spawn of different variations, and each time they have been matching genders (either two males or two females). I like the theme of the Valentines event spawning two shinys as a pair of lovers, but when they can't breed with each other it's a little less exciting. Is this functioning as intended, is it not possible for them to spawn as a male/female pairing, or have I gotten incredibly unlucky?

You just have really bad luck, I’ve tamed a few pairs of lovers and only one pair has been lesbians, the rest were all male/female pairings

Alright, I'll keep an eye out for more, hope that my bad luck doesn't persist.

Its really entirely random. I don't think I even can override the gender, so the only option there would be would re-try until something good comes out. But then, might as well leave it random!

Thanks, @nevcairiel for the follow-up. I have indeed seen several male/female pairings since that first day, and appreciate the confirmation of what was happening.
