I'm not sure that's accurate. I think your equation is showing all possible stat grade combinations disregarding which grade applies to each stat. If we remember that each stat grade is applied to a specific stat (aka four Run stat grades in a Chao's genes can only fill the Run stat grade of a newbo...

Even if their effects are minimal, I think they should still be covered. As you mentioned, some of them do affect Chao behavior, and a lot of people seek out information on this subject. We can at least cover what we do know.

Let's say you had two adult Chao. One is a Swim type with the DBAAD stats, and has recessive stats of CCBDC. The other is a Run type with the ASDEA stats, and has recessive stats of BBCCB. If you wanted to breed them to get a ASAAA Chao, how many times would you need to breed them together?

I use a Gamestop Xbox 360 Controller on SA2 for the PC all the time. You just have to set it to the controller in the launcher and it should work.

That's really good to know. Usually if I mate Chao with Heart Fruit it's right after they become adults, so the fact that the value resets then anyway means it almost doesn't affect the mating cycle at all if you do it that soon. Thanks for the info!

I've noticed recently that Chao Island's main page does not have a section on Chao personalities. Given the varying behavior that personalities bring to Chao, as well as the fact that many people try to change their Chao's personality or want a specific one, I'd like to write a section on this for t...

I have another update. Perhaps due to giving my dark Run Chao some stat increases from animals recently, it has reverted back to the Crybaby personality. Since this doesn't affect it's Intelligence as most people believe, I'm not bothered too much by this. My best guess is that the value of it's pre...

If you feed a Chao a Heart Fruit to mate it before it's natural mating period begins, will the Chao still undergo a natural mating period later on?

So, is it possible to breed a Transparent or Invisible Chao in SA2 for the PC? I used Fusion's Chao Editor to transfer a gold Jewel Chao I obtained in DX to SA2, and I would really like to breed a Transparent or Invisible Chao.

I've been experimenting to remove the Crybaby personality myself, and I've found the most success with COMPLETELY ignoring the Chao for about a full hour or so. This method has worked with three of my Chao so far. This involves not giving the Chao any attention whatsoever; no feeding it, no petting ...

Sonic World's garden does look pretty cool. I don't know if I could get really into it if if doesn't have evolutions or most of the Chao Garden typical features, but it's definitely worth trying.

I had two Chao evolve into the Swim type yesterday. While I'm delighted about it, It sort of slants their eyes slightly to make them more fish like. One of the Chao also happened to have that infamous toothy grin. I still think he's cute, but man...look head on at him and he's like a Chao piranha.

Once again, great news! I tried ignoring two of my Crybaby Chao for 45 minutes, and both are no longer Crybabies! This is starting to look really promising. Chao will still cry sometimes like Crybaby Chao do, but progress is looking good. Would anyone be willing to help with this by testing this met...

I am happy to announce that, while limited, I have made progress. As mentioned, I currently have a dark Run Chao with the Crybaby personality. As such, my tests were directed at him. I'm sorry to say that, for the sake of research, I was forced to abuse this particular Chao. I hated it so much that ...

That's why the levels would make such great gardens, though. I mean they're huge. A garden would feel less confining and you could spend more time there. Plus you could feel like the Chao have more room. In this case I guess I'm looking at them like dogs or horses; they can't just be crammed into a ...

Has anyone ever tried turning a game stage aka level into a Chao Garden? Personally I think it would be really cool. No doubt that with today's programming capabilities we could easily make a Chao Garden to fit more than eight Chao, but seeing a whole level turned into a garden would be amazing. Can...

Hello all, I just recently got to unlock a Hero and Dark Chao, and their respective gardens. I'm on the PC version and have had Fusion's Chao Editor since right after I hatched my first eggs. I only use the Editor to track Chao stats and personality, etc., and to transfer Chao from SADX. Anyway, as ...

Hey Fusion, I really love this editor. It's great, and it's incredibly helpful. But I've noticed an issue I think is related to this editor. First of all, I only use it to track Chao stats and personality, I never actually change anything. I've used it to transfer Chao between games, but that's it. ...

So, I recently discovered that, in my attempts to ensure that my Dark Chao evolves into the Run type, I have inadvertently made him into a Crybaby. While I do think it's incredibly cute when a Chao cries (I hope that doesn't sound cruel but it probably does :( ), overall it's an undesirable and anno...

I've never had a hard time with this, honestly. I just alternate between Hero and Dark and give my Chao an equal amount of attention.

I really dislike Omochao anyway. If he was in my garden I'd throw him off a cliff like I usually do.

1. The flag seems to be what would appear over a Chao's head if it wins a race. 2. The star, if I had to guess, would have appeared over a Chao's head if a Chao won Chao Karate. 3. The cloud of smoke probably would have appeared over a Chao's head to indicate illness. 4. The teardrop probably would ...

It could have been a nice mini-game style area, like a level to leave Chao where they can play to increase their happiness. It's a bit of a shame it never came to be.

Hi all! I'm interested in knowing which one of your Chao you think looks the most evil. Mine is a Shiny White Dark Chao with a toothy grin. He's got kind of an evil child doll look on him.

Well, it's possible that the parent of the grey two-tone Chao passed on the grey gene to it's child, which, despite the child not being grey, could probably still be passed on to the grey two-tone Chao's child.
