Chao Genetics Video

[Mayo]

Hello one and all Chao Islanders! This is Mayo, but some of you may know me as SapphireChao on Youtube.

Anyways, from the positive feedback I got from making this video about evolution, I plan to make another one based on Chao Genetics.


I'm doing a little revision and research on the matter before I start scripting, so here's where all you fabulous people come in :)


Since I do not own the newer HD versions of SA and SA2, if people can give me a low-down on the differences of genetics between 360/PS3/PC for both SA and SA2, that'd be awesome.


The following topics/ideas will be covered:

- description of the different genes (tone, shine, texture, colour)
- genotype and phenotype
- gene dominance
- stat inheritance + a few examples making a Twotone, Shiny Twotone, Jewel, MTN, and Shiny Jewel
- grade ranking inheritance (might be mentioned in a separate video)
- breeding myths (tell me some interesting breeding misconceptions!)
- version differences

- any other topics you guys suggest?

looks good.

Extremely informative video and very detailed. These are the types of chao guides that youtube needs. The rest are either too vague or just plain misleading.

I also love the humor. Keep it up. :)

SAHD has, from what I hear, simplified genetics not allowing for any appearance not identical to a parent (no coloured twotones).

SA2HD, however, has no changes at all. I can confirm from experience that even the shiny/jewel crossbreeding acts the same, though you cannot actually obtain the jewel legitimately.
There is, however, a difference in appearance for shiny twotones and anything resembling them.

Breeding misconception: A shiny normal can give birth to a jewel chao.*
Truth: A shiny jewel normal looks like a shiny normal.

*Potentially possible with recessive genes I guess...

Awesome, thanks for the info and feedback!!

Other breeding myths I know of is where people think breeding two monotones will results in a twotone, or if the monotone colours mix (red + white = pink). Might be worth mentioning hidden genes and dominance.
