Getting blue and green chocobos...

[skatehippie]

Okay,

I've read that you only need one couple of Great + Good yellows to get both your blue and green chocobos...

But on the site FF Online they say you need TWO couples, one for each color, with the genders reversed...

IE: Great Female + Good Male = green
Great Male + Good Female = blue

What's up with that? This is my first time playing the game btw so I don't have any experience with choco-breeding in FFVII...and so far I was under the impression that you only needed, say, a Great F and Good M and you culd get both blue and green from that one couple, because the type and genders are randomly picked.

Soooo...how exactly does this system work?

Alright here's the part of the playguide that I used.

Stage 1 of raising a chocobo:
Go to the chocobo farm and rent all the available stables. If you can't
rent any, you are too early. It will take a bit to but the stables when
talking to the lady in the house (not the barn; this lady watched you in
your sleep while sleeping in the house). This will cost about 60,000 gil
(70,000 if you haven't already bought Chocobo Lure; you can also find it
lying in the bottom-right corner of the first chocobo farm screen, below
the fence.

Stage 2 of Chocobo Raising:
You will need to head to the Gold Saucer area and catch a chocobo (using
the equipped Chocobo Lure materia bought/found at the Chocobo
Farm)accompanied by either two flying things or two flying things on the
ground. Once on it in the main map, get off and choose to send to the
stables (you will be prompted for this). Then head on over to Mideel and
catch a chocobo accompainied by two spirals (roly-poly things). You may
need to keep trying to get this kind of configuration in a battle. Go to
the Chocobo Sage and buy 20, 30, or 40 Sylkis Greens (go for about 5,000
gil a piece, you will eventually need 40). Now, outside of Chocobo
Sage's place, in the grassy area, or south of Chocobo Sages place, below
the mountains, in the plains area, fight a Vlarkados (kangaroo-looking
thing). It is rather hard if you aren't progressed very far in the game
(about 30,000 HP hard). Kill/steal/morph him for a Carob Nut, you may
want to do this 4 times to cover how many you will be using. Now give
each of your two "great" chocobos 10 Sylkis Greens each (you can see
what Chocobilly rates them when you move them from the fence area, which
you will need to do, to the stables in the barn. You should have both of
your chocobos "great", if not, get new ones using the method
forementioned). Save your game: very important, if you do not get the
chocobo you want, you can just reset and mate again. Mate your two
chocobos using a Carob Nut. If all goes well, you should get a green or
a blue chocobo. If not, you'll get a yellow one. If yellow, reset and
mate again. Wait a while when the chocobos are ready (yellow->yellow) to
mate again using Carob Nut. Save before doing this, and you should get a
chocobo. Keep doing this until you get a m/f blue and a green one,
opposite sex of the blue one. Race these up to "a" or "s" class at the
Gold Saucer, talk to Ester and she will sign you up for a corresponding
race for your chocobo.
Chocobos acheivedreen, Blue
Special area abilites: Green: Wutai area materia cave for Mime materia

Stage 3 of raising a chocobo:
Once you have an "a" or "s" class green & blue chocobo, mate them
together using another Carob Nut. Save before this, so you can reset
when you don't get the right chocobo. You should get a black chocobo. Go
catch a chocobo on the SW corner of the North Continent (snow-covered
one), catch a "wonderful" chocobo and race the black and wonderful to
"a" or "s" class. Save game. Feed them both 10 Sylkis Greens each. Mate
wonderful and black together using a Zeio Nut (found at Goblin Island NE
of east continent (one w/midgar); steal/morph/kill a goblin to get it
(find them in the foresty area of the string of islands). You will soon
get a GOLD CHOCOBO!*YAY*
Chocobos acheived:Black, GOLD
Special area abilities: Black: North Corel area materia cave for HP->MP
Switch, Mideel area materia cave for Quadra Magic; GOLD:Round Island for
Knights of Round.

I hope that helps you

By the way,
I've played the game through twice and used this method to attain a Gold Chocobo both times.
Same deal for a mate.
