i just want a chao game

[Lordimbroke]

ilike damn that ♥♥♥♥ be fun, why didnt they add it in the newer sonics?

[Ikagura]

Why would Sega do that? It's just a glorified Tamagochi-like minigame (maybe they could put it as a mobile app)

[NBOX21]

The chao were a big part of the story of Adventure 1 and Sonic's world in general, so it only made sense to base an entire mode dedicated to them that give these characters a bit more depth and explore the life of the chao, while also being an interesting side-mode on the side.

Yeah, it is basically a Tamagotchi type of mode (after all, they were all the rage in the late 90s to early 2000s) and they did try to capitalise on its popularity, but it was interesting regardless, was different enough to feel like its own thing and was at least optional content that's not required finish the game.

Think, "what will a game that focus's on the chao benefit me?" seriously.

Then why was this in Adventure 2 as well?

I could be wrong about this, but I think Chao & their gardens were mainly added to Sonic Adventure 1 and Sonic Adventure 2 because of the Dreamcast. To those who don't know, the Dreamcast has a memory card with a screen on it called a VMU. When you finished with your Chao in the game, you can take out the memory card and play on the VMU and your Chao would be there. You could also delete your normal Sonic Adventure 1/2 save, but keep your Chao garden save if you wanted to restart the game, but not the Chao garden. Personally, I don't care too much about the Chao Garden, but I wouldn't mind seeing it pop up in the future if they made it more interesting.

Not sure, but Tikal & Chaos 0 also show up in the multiplayer despite not being in the Singleplayer. My guess is maybe there was a lot of praise for the Chao garden, Tikal, & Chaos back when the games were first released. There's also a few references to SA1 in SA2 such as "The servers are the seven chaos." and Tails saving the day from Robotnik in Station Square.

Don't forget that Adventure 2's plot makes references to Adventure 1 which implies that both games are in the same canon and part of the same world, like how when Eggman mentions that Tails was awarded the yellow chaos emerald for saving Station Square from a life threatening missile attack in Adventure 1.

There are also several billboards with made-up products based on the chao like a Chao in Space movie all throughout the game in various locations, implying that chao still exist in Sonic's world in Adventure 2.

There's also the multiplayer, at least in the Battle version anyway.

The GameCube versions of both games had a similar feature where you could connect to your Game Boy Advance and a copy of Sonic Advance to transfer your chao to the Tiny Chao Garden as basically a replacement of the VMU features from the Dreamcast versions.

I forgot about that. Basically though, I think the Chao Garden was meant to have a portable companion for players which is why it only shows up on the Dreamcast and Gamecube games... that might be why they took it out...

But then again, there's Nintendo Switch & phones now that they could do a Chao Garden on so I have no clue. If they ever make a Sonic Adventure Remake or 3 though, maybe they'll reintroduce it and make like a phone companion app for your Chao, that would be cool

My ONLY concern that really worries me if they actually do this is if they even think about implementing microtransactions into it just like every other mobile app these days.
