Chaos Baby
I think Chao is short for Chaos Baby. Shouldn't we put that on the page? Razor Rozar7 (talk) 19:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Only if you've got an official source to back that up. Fair field fencer  F F F  19:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

My brother is a tester for Sega, and he says that's what he was told. Does that count? Razor Rozar7 (talk) 18:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. Fair field fencer  F F F  18:59, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't know this exsisted.
I should contribute. =D -- S o n i c C h a o userpage 22:51, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

<<; THIS HAS FANZ. LOOK. "his"? Lemme see, they're its. But.... I call lots of my Chao "she". <<; Replace it with it or something kthxbye. User:Alexie
 * Done. Twasn't too hard :) -- RattleMan 05:33, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Chao Art Update
I've replaced that old screenshot of the Chao from Sa2 with the art from Sonic Channel and added the character template thats on the other character articles UnDeRsCoRe 17:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

umm
Needs to be rewritten, with some content moved to wikibooks. Ac1983fan 23:53, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Toss and rewrite
I'll probably toss and rewrite the whole thing, it's very, VERY messed up right now. I'm going to write on paper, if no one objects I'll post it by the end of the week. --Kinkoblast 15:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I have no objection. I tried my best, and I gave out as much info as I knew, as well as looking around. Yeah, this thing definitely needs a bit of a rewrite. -TonicBH 18:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I gave it a go, but the article still needs significant improvements to be considered "good". --hawkaris 05:06, 02 August 2006
 * So is what we have here the rewritten version, or was it never actually rewritten? I could rewrite it, but I'd basically just delete half of the article... Paul Haymon 08:37, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Chao Hacking?
I've heard about it, but haven't been able to find any tutorials on how to do it. I'm curious, as it is very interesting. I'm not using it to cheat, as I have good enough chao already. ~ DragonSparke 17:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It's fortunate the creator of the Chao Genome Project visits here ocassionally then. Go here to learn all about how to hack using the guide I made: http://www.freewebs.com/morpher333/hackachao.htm - "Tails Ohki" from GameFAQs. 216.125.152.2 17:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

CHAO 2006
Will there be chao in Sonic the Hedgehog 2006. From A PERSON —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.75.39.202 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 9 June 2006

No Chao
Does anyone know why they took them off the games? So I or anyone else can write it on the article? Mr.Willison 11:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * They weren't taken off the games. There just aren't any chao gardens anymore. The thing is, I guess it was supposed to be a special thingy for the adventure and advance series. And if they were removed, no one knows why; it was never revealed. UnDeRsCoRe 21:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Song
Ive been looking for that "instrumental song with Chao singing or making noises in the background" on a game rip music site but I cant find it. Does anyone know what its called? -King SweaterHead 01:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

You can actually listen to it on TeamArtail's website. You'll need RealPlayer installed, though. Click on either #28 or 29 in the Hero section (Left hand, Blue side.) --Tails0600 19:43 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Revamp
For redoing this page, I had a few things we could do:
 * Restructure
 * 1) Chao Intro
 * Chao Ball
 * 1) Stats
 * 5 Basic Stats
 * Grades
 * Chaos Drives
 * Animals
 * Classification
 * 1) Life Cycle
 * Birth
 * Maturity (Evolution? Find a good term for chao evolution)
 * Classification of Chao types
 * Alignment
 * Type (Second Evolution?)
 * Reproduction
 * Death
 * 1) Gardens
 * Chao Key
 * Types of Gardens

For the sources, the FAQ's on GameSpot are helpful, check out ConfusedGuy's, it's extremely comprehensive, research and all. It's in .txt, so I can't link to it directly.

Chao Stat Maximums
Should anyone note that the Maximum Stat for a stat is 3299. Using the facts that the most one stat can get per level is 30 and you retain 10% of a Chao's stats when reincarnating, after 4 iterations, you get 3299.

I'll save you the trouble:

It's original research, you moronic imbiscile, There's no official thingamajig that says it, knucklehead!

I'll save someone else the trouble:

Did you just flame yourself?

Yes I did.

This was a colossal waste of time.

Anyone planned to rewrite this yet?
ive baisically rewritten my website (Chao Island) to try and cover everything from a neutral point of view, covering beginner and advanced Chao advice. The Chao Wikipedia page can just use info from there if they like. Might save more time than a complete re-write.

P.S max stat is 3266 not 3299 @ above poster =)

NiGHTS 12:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

First Life - 2970 (30 * 99) Second Life - 2970 + 297 [2970/10 math.floor] = 3267 Third Life - 2970 + 326 [3267/10 math.floor]= 3296 Fourth Life - 2970 + 329 [3296/10 math.floor]= 3299

Thank you.

Sabre Knight 18:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

From the second life, you start from level 1, not level 0, so the max stats you can get is 2940, not 2970

No, Thank you. =)

NiGHTS 20:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I tried to rewrite it to make it look less like a stratagy guide, it still needs work but ive done all I can Darkness Mage 23:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Done a lot of cleaning, now add references and check out the Featured article criteria and FA status articles to give you more of a insight into what the page should be like.  FMF | contact 

Rocky BS
Can someone remove the BS about the rocky the something-or-other? 74.73.9.227 22:47, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I just took care of it. --75.135.82.7 (talk) 23:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Sonichannel chao.png
Image:Sonichannel chao.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Intro Paragraph
I think the part in the intro about mating Chao and specific recipes should be removed., It's irrelevant and doesn't belong in an intro section. Here is the specific paragraph I am referring to.

Chao-raising and the main Sonic games tie together in a number of ways: items which you encounter in the main game can be used to raise your Chao, collected Rings can be used to buy things for them, and several unlockable features are related to Chao. Many different kinds of chao can be made, encluding a transparent chao (mating a shiny purple fly type devil with a silver jewel [only obtainable on gameboy game of sonic advance] power type chao. The silver one coming to the purple one, resulting in a regular looking chao that you can see through), an invisible chao (mating a shiny yellow chao with a pink jewel chao, resulting in an invisible chao [you can only see it's eyes, emotion ball, and wings]), and even a two toned shiny green chao (parents were a shiny two toned yellow and green shiny chao and a silver jewel chao). other sites have more rare chao recipes.

Death
Chao can die, right? If so, why isn't this mentioned? 71.182.145.40 (talk) 04:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

beats me. When chao die they have this caccoon. Choa can die just as much as they can attack each other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.111.171.133 (talk) 13:40, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Needs to be rewritten
I think this article should be more about chao as a general topic about the creatures, not just about information that's mostly from this one game. Also, if this page is about chao, what kind of person would look in an encyclopedia of any sort to find out how to raise a chaos chao or anything like that? They can find that in a walkthrough. 72.218.194.210 (talk) 01:56, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
