The way I played it, Sonic Adventure was a virtual pet raising game with a 3D platformer minigame in there for something else to do on the side.

Best way to play the game. I really wish other games leaned into this gameplay loop as well. If anyone is aware of others who even sort of tried to do this I'd love to hear about them
You know you could put the chaos onto the vmu and play tomagotchi like adventures with them on the go, then bring them back to the game.
Hey little guy
Whoops I just threw him across the map :/
Wasn’t there something you could do with those and the VMU?
Yeah! There was a mini-game called "Chao Adventure" that would let your chao go for a walk with little events that would happen along the way. It was also the only way to see your chao's stats and name them.
You could also make your Chao fight each other, kinda like a Pokemon battle. Required two VMUs hooked together
Tried that: nothing worked then.
I used to have Chao fights with my friend at lunch in high school. The VMUs totally worked
Darn. I wish my VMUs worked.
I spent so many hours in the Sonic Adventure 2 Chao garden, training and breeding the ultimate racer.
