And my fifth generation is ready to go! Halfway through the challenge, it seems.
This is my heir, Hiri.
http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/481818/48181709_350.png?mtime=XDPEJgACw5Y
This is her mate, Hydro.
http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/481544/48154337_350.png?mtime=XDJobwACeqM
Hiri's genes are Cobalt Tapir, Silver Striation, and Periwinkle Basic. Her eyes are Plague Common.
As an Imperial, she automatically scores four points. Her primary gene, Tapir, can be bought in the treasure marketplace. So that gives her three more points. Striation is another gene from the treasure marketplace, so that is also worth three points. Her other traits are more than anything, though, so the total comes out to 10 points. Since Hiri is the heir of this generation, the score is doubled to 20 points. Seems to be pretty standard for my heirs by now. Nevertheless, my overall score increases to 172 points.
Hydro’s genes are Jade Python, Mulberry Morph, and Cerulean Smirch. Hydro’s eyes are Plague Unusual.
And here I come to something interesting.
The challenge has point totals for genes found via treasure, gems, and crafting. However, it does not have any point totals for genes found through other means that are not basic. These genes are pretty rare, are found in unusual ways, and there's only about three of them.
Shockingly, Hydro has all three.
With how rare and unusual these genes are, I don't feel comfortable lumping them in with basic genes and given them zero points. Therefore, I decide to award them the same points as crafted genes (the genes made by Baldwin’s alchemy, or traded via Swipp). The reason for this is that getting these three genes now only requires planning game thoroughly, but also using a very specific function. In that regard, they are similar to crafted genes, even if they aren't officially ones.
So, onto the scoring.
Hydro cost me 4500 treasure when my limit was 50,000. This alone gives me a whopping 10 points (rounding up 4500 to 10,000 under budget), bringing my total up to 182 points.
The genes themselves are also impressive. Python can only by battling in the Coliseum, and the player has to be lucky to receive it as a drop from a defeated enemy at the end of a battle. Morph is the same way. Smirch can only be found if a player obtains a Strange Chest and is lucky enough to find the gene inside. Strange Chests can only be obtained during Night of the Nocturne, or by buying from someone who has put theirs on the Auction House. They can be found in a variety of ways during the former. These ways include gathering and any of the professions, winning battles in the Coliseum, crafting one with Baldwin’s alchemy, and receiving one in a trade with Swipp. It's also worth noting that these chests must be opened during Night of the Nocturne, or the player loses the chance to use them.
With all these genes counting as crafted, they add up to a total of 12 points. Hydro's unusual eyes give me four points. Finally, as a Bogsneak, Hydro scores three more points. This all adds up to a total of 19 points. These 19 points with the overall score at 201.
Some pretty good genes, although I can get rid of that dang basic one... It keeps dragging down my score... I will find out in early February, hopefully...

Croquette (founder) and Waffle (Mate)
Founder was chosen by picking the first ungened 1st-gen in the AH. I think I was pretty lucky, red is one of my favorite colors!
While I'm hoping my heir gets an upgrade in some way, the most important thing right now is weeding out the gray color and putting all heirs to come firmly within the red spectrum. I wouldn't mind branching out to brown or orange along the way, but there's the trouble of those combination either looking fantastic... or awful. With any combination of red your dragon is always going to look okay, regardless of genes.
Another reason I was so lucky with getting Plague as my element. Red dragons abound!
Gonna try to do this again.
First Generation
Croquette (founder) and Waffle (Mate)
Founder was chosen by picking the first ungened 1st-gen in the AH. I think I was pretty lucky, red is one of my favorite colors!

My sixth generation is finally ready to go!
Here's my heir, Josephine.
http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/491206/49120542_350.png?mtime=XGGZSAACF7E
And her mate, Henry.
http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/490688/49068714_350.png?mtime=XF7_FQACQyw
As a Bogsneak, Josephine starts off with three points. Her genes are Abyss Tapir, Grey Striation, and Steel Basic. Her eyes are Plague Common. Tapir can be bought with treasure, so it is worth three points. Striation is the same, so it is also worth three points. The basic genes and common eyes aren't worth anything. As a result, Josephine scores nine points, which is doubled to 18. That puts my score at 219.
I bought Henry for 5000 treasure, when my maximum was 60,000. This alone gives me 12 points, bringing the score up to 232.
His genes are White Python, Blush Peregrine, and Pearl Underbelly. His eyes are Plague Uncommon. Henry scores two points as a Pearlcatcher. Python is a gene obtained by fighting in the Coliseum. For the purposes of this run, it counts as crafted. Therefore, it is worth four points. Peregrine can be bought with treasure, so it is worth three points. Underbelly is another Treasure Gene, so it's worth three more points. Uncommon eyes give me two points. In all, Henry scores 14 points, bring the total amount of points up to 246.
Still struggling with the curse of common eyes and basic genes... Hopefully that will leave me eventually... I will find out in early March...

This nest was simultaneously lucky and horrid. On one hand, my 2nd heir is barely an improvement. No breed or gene improvement. Secondary only improved by one step, still being in the grey spectrum. Tert improved two steps. Antique is by no means a bad color, rather the contrary, but I'd prefer something in red.
But on the other hand, he's freaking multi-gaze. And my first one ever. With the heir multiplier, he totals to 18 points. I'm pondering whether I'll keep him, but I don't think I'm fond enough of Multi-gaze for it to be worth the trouble.

His mate is sanguine/garnet/garnet, with all but the tertiary gene being the lowest improvement possible. The goal is still the same as the previous generation: I want to weed out all the white and grey and put my dragons in the red range, and I want them to have some improvement, no matter what gene or breed.
Counting the nest and treasure saving, my points total to 22
On to the second generation!

[center]Finally finished my first challenge! Here are the results. I did pick the most 'eligible' heir from every generation. In my next one I'll play more by the rules. :)

Check it out below!
So, I finally got my seventh generation going! I hatched my heir a few days ago. His name is Stareyes:
http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/499604/49960365_350.png?mtime=XIkb-wACc1E
This is his mate, Darkfire:
http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/499066/49906588_350.png?mtime=XIaG3wAB394
Stareyes is a Pearlcatcher, so because of his breed, he starts with two points. His genes are Grape Tapir, Mauve Peregrine, and Ice Underbelly. His eyes are Plague Uncommon. Tapir is a gene that can be bought with treasure, so it is worth three points. Peregrine is the same, so it is worth three more points. Finally, Underbelly is another one of those genes, also worth three points. Uncommon eyes are worth two more points. The total score is 13 points, which is then doubled to 26.
Now, for Darkfire.
She was purchased for 7000 treasure when the maximum I could purchase a dragon for was 70,000 treasure. Therefore, she gives me a massive 14 points, throwing the score up to 286 points.
Darkfire is a Mirror dragon, one of the most common breeds, so she only gets one point. Her genes are Phthalo Starmap, Mist Morph, and Teal Lace. Her eyes are Plague Unusual. Starmap is a recent gene, and can be bought using gems. Therefore, it is worth five points. The Morph gene is found in the Colosseum, but for the purposes of this run, it counts as a crafted gene. Therefore, it is worth four points. Finally, Lace is a gene that can be bought with treasure, so it is worth three points. In total, Darkfire scores 12 points. In total, this leads to 298 points.
So Darkfire’s common breed is offset by her very good genes… Stareyes scores very good as well… I'm interested to see if I will continue to get excellent results, but that will have to wait a few weeks.

Congratulations! Love how you started out with a nice green dragon but wound up with a water themed imp, and a really good looking one at that!

The story continues of my horrible luck with silver linings.
These heirs are trying to mock me, I swear. No gene or breed improvements, which is tolerable, but the colors refuse to move out of the white/pink spectrum. Especially that secondary.
Silver lining is that her sister has a surprisingly nice ID number: #50223355. I don't think I wanna keep her, but maybe I can sell her? I'm not well versed in which numbers are considered attractive and what'd they sell for. Chances are she'll be exalted.

Her mate will be this fella, 10.000t. Originally I was going for an all-red final result, but I've decided to change my goal.
I'll be moving to nature soon, and to match I'm gonna go for a more tropical look, with greens, yellows, oranges and browns. Another reason is that going for all-red felt boring. Especially since my element is plague, there's no challenge at all, the market is saturated with gorgeous reds. The fun in hatching comes from the surprises, and I want to see if I can't get something unusual out of this.
Champagne has all treasure genes, which is great. I'm not too fond of Piebald, Contour or Pearlcatchers, but part of the challenge is falling in love unusual things.
Current score is 36
