I just discovered this today. Isn't that how people adopt Bhakoru's, using the page in the back?

Yes it is, and the page has been blank for some time. Probably longer than you or I noticed.

There was some talk about a different way to get Bhakorus, that didn't rely on a page only accessible to people who completed an old plot. But I don't know how far staff got with that, if something went wrong or if it just got forgotten, or what. Wish that the blank page could be restored in the meantime, so people could help other players get them. (And not have to totally rely on the Nostalgic Bhakoru route)

That is crazy. I can understand if it got sidelined with everything else, but maybe they could post an update letting us know it had to get backburnered and like you said restore the original route in the meanwhile yeah. Good grief.

i noticed this a lil while ago as well and posted about it too, i also wish they would bring it back up in the meantime, bhakorus need more love and not being able to make them besides the nostalgic version

think it mightve been 'broke' since the taks of making them available to make by everyone
