PLEASE watch the whole video and take a quick look at the description below if you have any questions!
*huge sigh of relief* IT'S DONE! FINISHED! AND IT ONLY TOOK ME AN ETERNITY! :D
There have been MANY questions about "what Chao breed is this?" and "I mated these Chao but got this weird result!", so hopefully this video can equip you with the knowledge on how Chao inheritance works, and the understanding of the system used when you breed with different kinds of Chao.

(for the Gamecube version!)
There’s also two ways to describe a Chao’s genotype which I didn't specifically mention their meaning, since I wanted less explaining and more showing in the video.
Homozygous: when both alleles are identical in a trait (e.g. Normal/Normal, Red/Red, Monotone/Monotone, Emerald/Emerald)
Heterozygous: the two alleles are different in a trait (e.g. Monotone/Twotone, Red/Normal, Pink/Lime Green, Shiny/Non-Shiny, Emerald/No Texture)
Chao that do not have any ancestors means their genotype is going to be homozygous. Assume this for any Chao which you did not obtain through breeding.
Chao that you get via breeding, i.e. has parents, usually are heterozygous in their genotype. This makes it important to keep track with who breeds with what Chao, so you can get an idea for which genes may get passed down if you're wanting a specific breed of Chao.
Here it is, another Chao Fact File, probably the single biggest project yet, with even more technical roadblocks and crashing which delayed this LOADS longer than it should have. That being said, I probably won't make something as big as this again, mainly because it will take another year or two to upload something new :P
In all honesty, the equipment I use is severely outdated, so fancy editing + older editing program + low system memory that can't cope with too many fancy things at once = my trusty laptop rolling over and dying and enduring exponentially long loading screens (of about 20 minutes) just to get the timeline displayed when I open the project file.
It got to the point I had the convert 2/3rds of the unfinished video into an AVI and then open a fresh project to do the remaining edits, simply because the memory wasn't there to finish it under normal conditions. So for those with a good eye, you may notice the last 5-7 minutes of this video having better quality than the rest of the video, since that was the part was wasn't re-compressed from an AVI file
