What do you guys think? Should the Chao System return, or should we just skip it for the actual game? Me, I think they should keep it, but redo the system. Once you beat all the challenges, there's no real drive to it.
I was checking around the net, and someone mentioned something interesting about this... As an example, Cheese could be put in your Chao Garden. It would gain attack, and such, and then aid you in battle, thusly, if you used Cream. CHAO SUMMONS! *shot*
Anyway, your thoughts?

I remember hearing something about a game devoted entirely to chao raising some time ago. A rumor now I'm sure. 😛
If that rumour was true it'd be heaven for the lackey, I adore Chao and would pay great sums of money for them to have their own game for me to raise them and pet them and love them and hug them and squeeze them tight and feed them everyday and say IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou ^.^
Elmyra's got nothing on me!
Yes I missed the Chao, I rather they get their own game then be in a Sonic game. I mean I think there potentail was held back in the adventure games, in a wide market it would be amazing.
YES.
I would love to see the Chao again. Hopefully they will be in the next major Sonic game (presumably not the Shadow one though, hehe 
)
Actually I hope they aren't, because then they will just remain some mini game I think there is potential it to be more than just that.
Would love to see Chao Garden too.
In Sonic Advance 3 you can only get into the Special Stages by rescuing all the Chao. It's not devoted to them, but it's a vital part of getting the 'good' (read, alternative) ending.
The Chao Gardens should return but it should only be an optional minigame and something you shouldn't be forced to do to fully complete the game. That way you have a choice and if you don't want to raise Chao you don't have to, while the people who like raising Chao can.
Honestly I think they'd be best spinning it out into its own game, starring Cream. An open ended Chao raising RPG with hundreds of ways to nurture and customise them and hundreds of ways to use them (not simply the sit back and watch races in the Sonic Adventure games). The Chao have felt very tacked on in everything since post-Sonic Adventure.
Harvest Chao: Boy's Edition starring Tails, and Harvest Chao: Girl's Edition starring Cream.
Gotta Mate 'Em All!
Shhh, don't give them ideas. If the Sonic series ever falls into the multiple versions of one game Pokemon/Rockman.exe gimmick then all hope will be lost.
Why just limit it to two people?
What they ought to do is have a game mostly devoted to Chao racing, with maybe a few simple levels thrown in for the sake of getting Chaos Drives and/or Animals for stat boosting.
Have Chao Karate/Fighting return, except this time with more focus on specific characters.
What I mean by that is that the chao's fighting style changes more depending on who they like.
EG: Sonic liking chao "break-dance-fight."
Knuckles liking chao are more punch heavy.
Rouge liking chao are more kick heavy.
Etc.
There's a whole bunch of potential for a Chao-based game.

Breakdance fight
*Imagines chao doing the worm*
Anyway, I love chao very much, and would like them to return, but only if it can't be made into a game. I love you my little Sonic Jr.! I want to hug you and love you and then you will turn into a Chaos Chao in a couple of days!

That would be awful. Concentrating on the races would limit the game tremendously, and why would stat boosters need to be collected in "levels"? It worked in Sonic Adventure 2 because it was a mini game with almost no depth. To make a full game of it you'd have to go a lot further, like Animal Crossing.
Man, if they do stick them in the next Sonic game, I hope they aren't nessesarry to get all the emblems or what ever like they have been. I'll never see all the emblems in SA or the Green Hill Zone on SA2 because I can't stand to freak around with the stupid things. Its fun for me up to a point but I can't bring myself to stare for hours at them...
I don't think that it would be monetarily viable to try to sell a Chao game on its own anyway. But what about a thing like what Namco did with Pac-Man VS? A second disc packed in with an actual game. That way for those of us that don't care that much, we can give that disc away, and for the Chao lovers it would be an incentive to buy the two pack.
Bah. Everytime I type out what my ideal "Chao spin-off" game would be, what I end up describing is a blatant Pokemon clone.
Chao Tamers, indeed. Still...
a chao game on GBA would be GRRREAT! (sorry for the frosties impression) you could take your chao everywhere! and there should be more character breeds (tails, cream, rouge etc.)!
just hope sega aint viewing or theyll steal my ideas!
I would love for sega to make a seperate game for Chao Raising. I would prefer such a game to be either on DS(Compatible with GBA and GCN gardens) or Console/PC(GCN version compatible with GBA gardens).
The following list of ideas for such a game was Copy & Pasted from an OpenOffice Text Document:
New Features:
Online Lobby: Must use custom breeder to avoid a flood of sonics, tails, etc from entering. Ability to conversate, trade items/chao, and make challenges to the community. Online competitions can be for fun(No Bets), profit(Bet Items or Rings), or glory(Bet medals won in races and karate).
Public events where someone sets up a online competition, sets rules entry requirements, and may even allow public bets(Rings or items)
Arcade or casino like place where rings can be won.
Day/Night/Seasons cycle based on real time.
Chao Attributes/type/Personality
Keep the Attribute/Type1/Type2 format for chao.
7 attributes of chao: Hero, Dark, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Neutral.
Keep the Normal/Running/Swimming/Flying/Power classes the same.
Personality influenced by chao breeder's personality and the way they are treated.
Chao relationships
Depending on how they are raised together chao may develop friendships and rivalry's
Attribute has an effect on how a chao responds to chao they don't know.
Natural Alliances: Hero, Water, and wind; Dark, Earth, and Fire.
Natural Rivalry's: Hero vs Dark, Earth vs Wind, Fire vs Water.
Proper care can change a chao's relationship with chao of other attributes.
Chao Breeders
8 Chao breeders each related to a different Attribute(Like SA2B)
Sonic: Hero
Shadow: Dark
Tails: Water
Rouge: Wind
Knuckles: Earth
Amy: Fire
Cream: Neutral
Espio: No Effect on Alignment
Custom Chao Breeder Option to allow a more personal touch in chao raising. Also Gives a way to identify individuals in online modes.
Gardens
8 Chao Gardens: One for each Attribute and one for Chaos Chao.
16 chao capacity per garden allowing for more interaction between chao and eliminating the need for many smaller gardens (thats 128 chao, plenty of room even for the serious chao fanatic)
Garden Ideas:
Plaza: Neutral Meadow: Earth Mountain: Wind Volcano: Fire
Graveyard: Dark Beach: Water Clouds: Hero Weird Place: Chaos
Black Market
Make an actual 3D store where you take stuff off shelves and put in a shopping cart.
Prices same as in previous games, but drop the last zero.
R=Rings
Egg Display: Includes Normal Egg, 5 Color Eggs, 5 Shiny Eggs, 1 Jewel Egg. Rack refilled each day.
Animal Display(Must buy since theres no action stages anymore) Unlimited Red(5R), Blue(10R), Yellow(5R), Green(5R), and Purple(5R), and one random black(20R) or Gold(50R) animal. New rare animal each day.
Toy Display: all toys and hats are here
Fruit: Unlimited of all fruits found in previous games
Special Display: Extremely rare or valuable item. Examples of such items include: sun and moon eggs, full animal packs, and Rare toys. Appear at random.
Backpack divided into multiple pockets:
Eggs: Holds 8 unhatched eggs.
Eggshells: Holds 2 dozen eggshells.
Fruits: Holds up to 99 of 10 different fruits.
Animals: Holds up to 10 of 5 different animal(also holds animal packs).
Other: Holds up to 12 misc. items.
Information Screens:
Breeder Status:
Page 1: General Games Status
Page 2: Chart of what Attribute/Type combinations you've raised.
Chao Status:
Basically the same 3 charts from the Chao Doctor in SA2/B. Includes total age and shows attribute on a Hexagon shaped diagram.
Pack: Displays the contents of your inventory
Records:
Contains the records for the following chao that you have raised:
Highest Ranked: The closest to all S
Most Powerful: highest stat values
Most Successful: Most awards won
Oldest: The chao that has lived the longest including past lives.
Competitions
The chao Races don't need much improvement over SA2:B.
Monetary awards added for all vs. computer competitions
Karate:
Special attacks to liven up the karate matches.
Double Matches: Two chao compete in a team battle.
Team Matches: Chao battles on teams of 3.
Combo attacks used in team battles.
A Training Gym to raise a chao's abilities. Track, Punching bag, swimming pool, and Aerial obstacle course to test basic skills and a sparing arena Karate practice.
