I said I'd have a small preview of the Yoshi & Chao Adoption Clinic soon, and here it is!
First off, an explanation. It's been quite a while since we've had the clinic on the site, and in that time the idea has evolved
a lot. Instead of simply just adopting a pet and buying power ups for it, there's now a ton of new features. The basics of the system are listed below:
> There will be a separate forum category devoted to all things involved with the Clinic
> Sections in the category include "The Garden", "The Marketplace", and "The Battle Arena"
> The Garden is where everyone's "Pet Page" (the thread that contains your pet's information) is found
> The Marketplace is where you can buy items using tokens
> The Battle Arena is where karate matches are held
> Stickers, bought in The Marketplace section, level up your pet's stats
> Members can trade stickers on their pet pages
> Food, bought in The Marketplace, fills your pet's "Growth Meter"
> Filling up your growth meter once evolves your pet into adulthood
> Different stat levels influence how your pet looks as an adult (i.e., there's different looks for a pet specialising in "Flight", "Speed", etc.)
> Filling it up the growth meter again turns it back into a baby, complete with the default yoshi/chao look
> Karate Matches happen every week on a planned schedule
> Your pet's stats and a poll in the match's thread influence who wins the match
> Karate Matches award the winning pet with 20 tokens and increased stats
The more in-depth specifics involving the Yoshi & Chao Adoption Clinic can be found in the newly added
Omochao's FAQ! The completion of this FAQ marks a huge step forward in progress when it comes to the release of the actual Clinic.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need clarification! You can expect more updates and progress reports in the upcoming days!
