Breeding is random, Backflip sets the odds they don't determine the distribution. And while the gemstone dragons are difficult it's that challenge that keeps the game interesting, if it was too easy (everyone gets a gemstone dragon in 10 or less tries) that would be very boring.

Also you could not have tried "all month" for the Emerald dragon since it was only available for 2 weeks from the 17th of May and given the Pearl dragon has only been out for 6 days it's a bit too early to be getting discouraged over it.

My advice would be to take a break from breeding pearl, breed a bunch of the easier hybrids you don't have yet and then go back to pearl later when you might have more luck.
