Battledome question

I got challenged by some random person, and I figured I could beat them, so I accepted the challenge... I was going through the screens and I hit "Enter Battledome" and now it's telling me that, THAT pet doesn't exist? I searched for it through Neopets and it's coming up as a valid pet, so is this a glitch or something?

I'm not much of a BDer, so I'm not really sure how all this works.

 

Its a glitch, they will be getting the same message about you.

Just refresh on the page until it lets both of you in.

 

Thanks so much! I'll have to keep trying!

 

It happens sometimes, just refresh and it's fixed. Anyway, these kind of glitches are annoying and tnt don't seem to worry about this

 

Its not a glitch if you have been challenged and the opponent that challenge you hasnt entered the bd then it shows.

you have to wait till you get the sign saying your opponent has been looking for you in the battledome before you enter.

 

Hmmm-- Well it's doing the same thing still, so I suppose I'll just wait.

 

sometimes the glitches seem to happen a whole bunch, when it does I dont like to fight, just incase an item disapears
