okay so yes my setup is right...a black chocobo and a wonderful one both class s racers with attributes maxed out and using a zeio nut...

i've tried about 15 times and except for 3 black ones i've gotten all yellow ones...how many times dya have to try to get the damn thing?

why would the odds be that bad...i mean it's secret enough about the formula and mechanics for getting the special chocobos (for first time players anyway) so why should there be the added stress of resetting over and over and over? i mean yeah the "soft reset" makes it more bearable but comon i just want the friggin goldy so i can just go and get KotR...i'm only gonna use him for like 45 seconds!

so how many attempts did it take you guys before you got yours??

Sometimes it doesnt work out with a particular combo. Try it again, until you get another black. Then breed that black with a different wonderful. There are some pairings that just wont produce the ones you want.

I cant remember how long it took me to get mind... I'm not sure, but I think I got mine on the first try. It's been many years.

I get varying success. Sometimes it's been within the first three attempts, but on bad playthroughs I can reset probably over 30 times. Just keep at it, it'll come out eventually.

I never understood that myself. It's one of the few things in FFVII that you really need a guide to do it with.

I've played it through 2 times and got a gold chocobo both times - both times I got it on the first try.
What up with that? :D

Not really, I managed to find Chocobo Sage by a fluke and that's all there's to it really.

do the genders of the black/yellow chocobos count for anything?

The genders of the gold and wonderful chocobos shouldn't make a difference. I got mine on the first try. :D

If you get another black chocobo, race it until it reaches S class, and mate it with another wonderful chocobo (race it to S class also).

Watch out for Joe (the rider of that really fast black chocobo named Teioh)!! He's tough to beat!! :choc:
