I've yet to buy into this.

Debating it (I've been critical of breedables, but softening after having some of the more modern ones show up on my sim and not yet taking the lag hit I used to in years past), and wondering about the notice that new starter packs will never have rares now.

Does this means that rares will not be a part of their potential genetics - so if you bought a series of them and started breeding, even 20 generations down the road there would be no rares ever? Or is it just that the initial meeroo popping out of the starter will not have a rare trait - but a descendant might?
