Hi Tama! Long time no see! I remember watching you with brandon talking about all the pokemon, especially the one about Pikachu!

[@AnimeCloud22]

THE CHAO FAMILY TREE that's how to know you're the realest chao enjoyer

[@seeibe]

She went full Tolkien on her Chao garden 😂

[@J.R.Unbound]

The fact a Chao Garden mobile/Switch game doesn't exist is the only evidence we need that we are living in the worst timeline.

[@LostTimeHero]

This could not have come out at a more perfect time. I'm in the middle of a 10 hour shift. The next 2 hours are about to be a breeze.

[@justharry2190]

Tama kidnapped the kids smh

[@Insoul]

Hahahahaha

[@poopawman]

Noo this was more of a divorce settlement but he didn't set up visitation rights.😅

[@softresetreviews]

as soon as you mentioned Chao Island I literally morphed into the pointing dicaprio meme

[@maskpenn9443]

What's it like being DiCaprio?

[@Insoul]

@@maskpenn9443 Lots of painting and inventing

[@Danny64]

there is nothing more special in this world than sharing the love of raising chao in sonic adventure 2

[@fIorapetals]

Your dedication to virtual pets is nothing short of impressive. Making a family tree was such a cute idea! I really enjoy these types of videos and it was fun to hang out and learn about your chao garden :3

[@HybridAngelZero]

This is absolutely nuts and I love it. I honestly had no idea the Chao Garden went *this* deep, I've never even seen a Chaos Chao before. The Sonic Adventure games really were two complete games in one, and as you said, they feed into one another so well, too. Also, I am so glad you included the full vintage A-Rank run in the video.

[@SuazideKnight]

10:37 I'm still in the process of watching it, but I legit used to do this as well. But more like I would listen to MCR and then imagine Sonic would be running next to me on the long drives. I would imagine him jumping, weaving, grinding rails, and then when Shadow was unlocked, it was even more epic with the battles in my mind. I already are so invested in this video.

[@PandaWilliams-ol5vt]

this is so niche, but i have been WAITING for you specifically to make another chao video 😭 literally years lmfao so im hyped as hell that this video is over two hours long 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@kevincullen13]

I played the Sonic Adventure games for the first time last year. When it came to doing the Chao activities I recalled that years before I had seen your tips and tricks video on the subject. Finding it again was very nostalgic and I used it as a jumping off point to be able to complete what I wanted to do. Seeing this new video, knowing that your passion for Chao has never yielded over time, is wonderful. I just wanted to express my gratitude for being a big part of my Chao journey.

[@calvezthemexicanjedi6443]

OMG I have literally just gotten back into the chao garden this past week and was thinking about that video you did years ago showing off your garden and how much it made a lot of the chao raising stuff less intimidating to me since it always seemed so complicated as a kid. Now I've got my own full garden with a wide variety of chao lol, so thank you for all your chao content!

[@mantahurrah7400]

I think this is honestly one of my favorite videos you’ve made outside of your doll restorations, vibes are immaculate and I also love chao.

[@shawnbay2211]

omfg i didnt realise she had doll restorations. i must watch,

[@Tama-Hero]

@@shawnbay2211 They're on my 2nd channel, Tama's Room

[@RaccoonRevolution]

The authentic vintage 00's gamplay literally made me :3

[@jFar920]

I'm only 6 minutes in and I already am fascinated, makes me wish I kept my OG childhood saves. I lost my favorite Chao named "Baby Joe" because its happiness wasn't high enough and a chaos Chao because a friend who knew nothing about Chao let it run away in the Tiny Chao Garden. After that I stopped caring and ruined the game with Action Replay, that's what's saved on my childhood memory cards now. Maybe there's some untainted ones there still but I'd never be able to tell at this point

[@SailorRbbn]

I LOVE the thumbnails for the Feral Women videos

[@whoopsie321]

This is a blast from the past! Me and my friends would discuss and try and figure out how to get each type of Chao and we finally learned about game faqs and printed some "guides" out and it turns out some of the info was right but a lot was wrong lmao.

[@Brelicity]

This is the video ive been waiting for. The time is FINALLY HERE! LETS GOO 2 HOUR VIDEO OBSESSING OVER THE BEST SIDE GAME SONIC HAS EVER PRODUCED!.

[@girandpiggy95]

as someone who never really cared for the chao garden, i appreciate the feral woman explaining what i missed out on

[@cushion50]

Watched you for years and never saw this coming, what a nostalgia trip! still frequent my own gardens still with my siblings on the old hardware. Thank you so much for sharing, I imagine you described quite a number of people's childhoods here not just my own! Going through phases of being completely obsessed with the little dudes and learning about all the layers of the chao iceberg were some of my fondest memories growing up with friends/family so thank you for prompting me to think of those times!

[@TheOneTrueOfficialLordGod]

I don't know when I'll have time to watch this but I'm going to watch this someday. I absolutely love Chao and I love the concept of tracking your v-pet's geneology

[@heavenlystarboi2697]

Oh my god, Chao Garden love alert from Tama? On a Pkmn Breeder cosplay? (It may not be, but it looks nurturing enough) On a Saturday? While im sleep deprived? You are truly our hero Tama, thank you a lot, specially for not fearing Mr Al. G. Rhytm with something not Pokémon on your channel, im proud

[@manguy01]

Sonic Adventure 2, Kirby's Air Ride, Pokemon. Tama has top tier taste in games

[@kokujinblack77]

Man, I remember I would spend hours playing in the Chao Garden in SA1 when I played it on the Dreamcast back in the day... Unintentionally!

[@medeas_number_1_fan]

I have never played sa2 nor done anything with the Chao myself, but for some reason I love videos about Chao and how they work and people's experience with them. Fantastic as always :)

[@antshield]

This is "Unscripted?" It's so organized and entertaining! I played this game with my friends A ranking all the stages, but what really took me back was lining the gameplay with 2000s Emo music. This video was amazing and you really brought me back to when I played Pokemon Diamond and Pearl with my high school sweetheart. Your content is always such high quality, kudos.

[@frealish6622]

Would be so cool to see some town tours of your old animal crossing towns!!

[@GustavoGarufi]

Oh my god, the gameplay recording you made with the camcorder was such a nostalgia hit. It's pretty much spot on how I remember playing these games back when I was a teenager as well.

[@ParmMannREBORN]

Love something the way Tama loves her army of Chao

[@OwnageMancer]

46:12 looool. Macha is such a mood

[@DarthAnimal]

I love you with every fibre of my being. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this. Chao are everything, and I would burn the world just to see them happy

[@Zultzify]

as someone whos honestly not as into pokemon as i was as a kid i greatly appreciate the non pokemon videos, all the love to those that still like modern pokemon but i personally only like and pay attention to gen 1-4. ive tried all the switch pokemon games and only didnt mind arceus legends. i hope to see her make more videos and varied topics from time to time, especially when shes as passionate as she is about this!

[@ZeroPhoenixFlame]

Knowing you were into SA2 is what got me to subscribe to you so many years ago and here I still am

[@Thefufflylord]

I dunno why, but I find your "feral woman" series really cosy.

[@2003master]

omg love that you mentioned flyleaf

[@Chrysus.]

So happy to see others that still have their love for SA2B. I have pretty much the same story as you, got it for the GC and obviously fell in love with the garden. I really hope we see a true, well-meaning new Chao Garden in the future. Thank you for the video, it was good fun. Shoutout to ChaoWorld, a long dead forum where I got my Chao info and where I learned to make a Chaos Chao.

[@viewtifuldro3644]

Yo, I'm 32. I've been going through a wave of nostalgia lately, playing old games and watching old shows. This whole Chao garden thing really sent me back. I used to love the Chao garden so much, me and a friend would draw our own gardens on paper and make a black market with items and Chao for sale. We'd take the erasers off pencils to represent the chao, I remember one being white with red stripes, we were always on the lookout for unique pencil erasers to be new Chao. I remember one of the items for sale in our made up gardens was a racecar that we made out of one of those trapezoid erasers. XD Love this video and the long videos you posted recently on Pokémon too. You're the best for this! 💯

[@shawnheatherly]

The line between passion and obsession blurs more and more.

[@904funny]

Was almost expecting her to suddenly go into parallel universes

[@JohnnyBeeMon]

youre officially my new favorite youtuber, and celebrity crush. congratulations!

[@Daltonownzyoulol]

19:00 If you would like to play the steam version I would highly recommend just starting over and using the chao extension mod, so many more options, and also you dont have to wait as long as you would normally for them to age/breed

[@JayThoman]

00's gameplay is sending me on a trip

[@LiterateGoblin1]

I never engaged with the Chao Garden myself because I didn't grow up with Sonic Adventure, but ever since I watched Cybershell's "What the Hell are Chao?" I've grown to appreciate the nuances of the system and respect the effort of those going for their perfect blorbos lol. (Great video for anyone else like me who has little to no experience with the Chao Garden.) A cute creature husbandry game with rich and expressive breeding and cultivation mechanics like the Chao Garden would be really popular if done well, but I'm not aware of any. I wonder if we'll see the Stardew Valley of the Chao Garden. Thanks for the fun video Tama! It was nice hearing you talk about your lil guys

[@lexpinkmoon]

wait, my chemical romance still goes that hard??? omggg, thank u for letting me rediscover this...... (haven't finished this comfy chao vid yet but i love it so far and just wanted to say that too lol)

[@kylenewton8438]

I grew up on your channel. Glad to see you’re still providing quality content, Tama!

[@ShadixNation]

i was literally thinking about this just the other day! so many memories just got unlocked. I remember going to bed and setting up a controller to walk my character indefinitely while i slept to hatch eggs overnight. ill have to get a game cube and play this again at some point

[@SimplyDad]

I used to watch you hella when I was younger and I remember ages ago you said you’d make a video bout the chao garden, glad you finally came around n made it

[@thisismyaltaccount4195]

I actually tracked down a copy of the japanese E play fun disc and a japenese copy of SA2B and and spice orange region switching gamecube so i could get ahold of the Knuckles and Amy Chaos, since i was told they were lost to time and was like "bet". The tails chao I'd picked up on my american copy using my copy of PSO 1+2, and even helped write guides on how to do the fake in yellow quest! Unfortunately the Knuckles and Amy chap are locked to the japanese version of the game, i even tried to transfer them using a japanese tiny chao garden. Still a lot of fun to chill and relax with the babies! Great video!

[@Franku69]

Gotta love the bizarre tama titles! Always love hearing your extended thoughts on things, but this helped me learn more about the Chao garden.

[@SerotoninSyd]

ive really been enjoying these long form videos, it's like listening to a friend infodump about their special interest. would love more videos on the chao garden! maybe a long video on raising a chao from egg to end?

[@ShadowEpoch]

and I thought that I spent a lot of time in the Chao gardens, but all I really remember is throwing them around to get them to grow how I wanted...

[@SunnyFaun]

For some reason, listing to you make that family tree was what I needed today ❤

[@CWCvilleCop]

[@Theguythatneverposts]

I think my perfect Chao game would be a mix between sa1 Hub worlds and sa2 battle Chao stuff with a smidge of animal crossing. I imagine a sort of city builder where you can run around an area crafted by the player as a sonic oc and your Chao inhabit this area and kinda act like villagers. Thier happiness is gauged by how your city is maintained. Animals are collected by providing habitats for them. Mini games would win you better stuff to build your little Chao city. I think I would love a game like that.

[@LilyCat2399]

12:42 omg that is ridiculous. He must memorise all the possible locations.

[@deviousdieselmusic]

Tama this is fire, I'm so happy for you and all your original Chao. Excellent video keep loving those awesome babies

[@DarienDragonFox]

The title is all i need to know its gonna be a good video

[@DarienDragonFox]

"I took the children"💀

[@UNIWarriorThomas]

​@DarienDragonFox someone had to

[@RohitSanjayMusic]

MILESEEVEEPROWER MENTIONED!!! I thought I was the only one who remembers her ;-;

[@Kaoss134]

Watching this while I eat lunch so I can chow down while I chao down

[@ShockWithoutFear]

Unfortunately the Chao stuff was deconfirmed by the director of the game but if they make even a Chao mobile game i'll give my house up for it!

[@SkyDragon90]

Loved seeing all your Chao, I wish I kept some of my first ever Chao. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle was the one game that transformed me into a gamer. I was happy when I made my first Angel Chao. Wasn't aware of Stat Breeding until much later, but I'm now in working on Chao that will have 3266 in all their stats on Steam. Gonna take a long time.

[@animestop95]

This is the content I need more of. I didn't realize how in-depth the Chao genetics were. I loved sims for the genetics part, and this is way more detailed. Had I known about this in the past, I would have been all over it.

[@rainbowjolteon4203]

Legit this was the video I've been needing. Just got back into the chao garden!

[@HoisinBurger]

Today I learned: if I Mega Evolved, I'd be Tama. I too love and obsese over Chao, but make a whole family tree? Kudos Tama!

[@JuJoAura]

Yay let's go the more I see things like this the more it encourages me to make my own V-Pet game

[@jayeraine]

I loved the chao gardens. They were on of the main reasons i would return to a level after beating it. Unfortunately, i played SA1 and SA2 on the Dreamcast, so i didn't have access to all the conveniences of the Gamecube version. Glad to see you showing chao this much love.

[@supermachoke95]

I have procrastinated cleaning my room until you posted this video, thank you so much for posting this video lmao

[@PlayPodOG]

you going over your old youtube clips is nostalgic. i remember doing the same type of things. i was lucky enough to have a dad who knew tech and let me have my own computer. so id use my webcam but kinda the same way. good times

[@Madcatzx]

Oh my gosh mileseeveeprower mentioned?? I used to watch her chao videos all the time growing up, I don’t know what she’s up to now but hope she’s doing good!!!

[@TheTardysoap]

The chao garden is incredible. Hooking up the GBA link cable to get an invisible chao through jewel chao breeding was amazing.

[@maxweII_demon]

this is the kind of video i put on and zone out to, then all of a sudden 2 hours are gone

[@whiteluna9008]

My girl really took custody of the children- I also got SA2 a few months back just for chao and I am so excited to create my ultimate chao ❤

[@AJ-ey5eh]

What if he comes back and fights for chào custody?

[@Thefufflylord]

Crazy Chao Lady Tama. I'm all for this.

[@TheCreepedPig]

I wish i still had my old chao, for whatever reason as a child I loved to restart games from the beginning.

[@PinkFreakCrystal]

Steam and Gamecube have been amazing for Chao Gardens. Right now I'm using my steam files to make chao for my friends, and someday they'll all be maxed out in stats and they'll all have one big tournament for both races and karate! Love how a lot of your chao are chaos now, just goes to show how well you've taken care of them over the years! ^_^

[@dinkoman2081]

God i remember you around black and white era of pokemon glad you still have love for your hobbies

[@TwinBlasters]

"Now we're all old" Don't do this 😭

[@KarpoCottage]

I'm so impressed. You're a true Chao Garden queen! My childhood Gamecube was stolen and the next Gamecube save file was corrupted, so all my childhood chao are gone. As cool as it is to have a family tree of all the chao, I may just wait for Poglings to come out. It's a new chao inspired game, so I can see myself dedicating a lot of my free time to that.

[@TwoFvceJ]

Please Sega we NEED another chao garden! Or possibly a chao stand alone game…

[@Forever_Zero]

One of these days Tama Hero is rebranding her channel to Feral Tama

[@ghettoyu-gi-oh1974]

Always happy to see you post! Much love from NM🖤

[@TheDancingMudkip]

So the haircut is new I guess Edit: There is no chao garden for shadow generations.

[@sonicgenerationsfan1]

I remember getting into chao from watching Ninjedi46 and XeniVari's how to raise a chao videos. (XeniVari used to go by a different name I forgot). Sadly Ninjedi46's videos are gone due to him deleting all of his content. Idk why he did it but either way I still have all my chao from when I was a kid and I even got all 3 chaos chao.

[@maxor2277]

Sega, PLEASE give us another Chao Garden! "It's been 3,000 years" and we are STILL obsessed with the adorable creatures!

[@flyingsl0ths961]

chaos are as complex as pokemon ev/iv training who knew

[@infinitesheldon5710]

Something I remember doing was raising a blue Run/Run neutral Chao, and a black/red Run/Run dark Chao, then giving them both the boar and the seal so they would sometimes sprint or roll around. Little Sonic and Little Shadow.

[@alphavolta5038]

Came for the in-depth chao experience, stayed for the House of Wolves amv. Nostalgia hits like a truck when you dont expect it.

[@mariorivera7969]

My friends were just talking about this the other day. One friend talked about the different colors and the other talked about how you beat them to get the devil garden or some such. It was interesting hearing both sides to the coin of good and evil

[@neopets666]

The way you’re living my dreams. Lol I could NEVER figure out the mechanics as a kid. I remember unlocking the dark garden was such a huge achievement for me. 🙃

[@yaboix3540]

Been watching for a decade and continuously surprised that you have all the same niche interests that I do. My GOAT 🫡

[@razzman5778]

Pokemon to Chao garden pipeline is real

[@emeraldrangersWhite]

10:03 I never knew about that one ring. I've played this game for over 2 decades from Dreamcast to Steam and have always been bothered by that level only having 99 rings until the rocket. All this time, it's like a childhood wish was granted. Still love this game. 100% it on multiple platforms but I have never had Chao as strong as yours. Without a 2nd player I stopped growing them after getting all the Emblems even though I loved it. I wish I still had my childhood Chao saves.

[@t-pats4022]

Never knew the chao garden and breeding was so complex! As a kid I just remember throwing them against walls and being bad at the levels lol

[@peniasd]

Yesss Chao garden!! I knew we werent alone with my friend group.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Tama hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@Chrysus.]

I am surprised you do not have a Tails Chao! It was pretty cool to get. If you can get a Gamecube copy of Phantasy Star Online you can get one, you only really have to play PSO for like half an hour to get the mission that unlocks the Chao. I really suggest trying to do it! Could be a fun video but even if not it is something a seasoned Chao gardener would appreciate doing I think.

[@Tama-Hero]

I was never that interested in character Chao because their appearance doesn't change over their lifetime. But also PSO is like $200 at my local game store

[@Chrysus.]

@@Tama-Hero Oh wow I didn't realize the prices had risen so much since then, my PSO still has a $15 sticker on it from gamestop :o I am glad you know about it though, I completely understand your reasoning behind not being super interested in them, they pretty much do not change at all. I was just super fascinated with their existence when I was younger, I had seen screenshots and, well, you know how the internet was back then. It was like a mew behind the truck sort of moment. A lot more mystery!

[@cheyenne8776]

Omg my dad had this game. I would just get on the game and sit with the chaos for SO long I was obsessed.

[@devonthewonderful]

I never played sa2 battle it looks like sooo much fun
