...ugh. That was more code heavy than I expected. However, determination won out, and I've completed a draft document. Unfortunately, it's (1) big and (2) table heavy, so I'm going to have to use those wonderful Code tags.
The document's *33KB* on my harddrive, and has all three parts of the Chocobo Ranch enclosed (Catching, Feeding, Mating).
Before you start reading and stuff, I'd like to ask for a little help: there's a stat that I've decided to call RunType for now (it'll likely be called Personality in later versions though). Now, it has three possible values: 0, 1 or 2. I've noticed that RunType 2 chocobos look like they're forever dashing on the setup screen when you play Chocobo Racing. However, RunType 2 chocobos are *rarer* with the better Ratings (only a 1/16 chance to get a RunType 2 Wonderful Chocobo). In addition, there's a Green that allows you to *remove* RunType 1 and 2 and replace it with 0 after enough feeding (and if you feed it enough to cause that, you'll get a fanfare and Billy will say that "their personality's improved!"). So... I'm assuming that RunType 1/2 are *BAD*.
But... I don't know what they do. I've watched the effects of Intelligence and Co-Operation first hand in Chocobo Racing... but RunType doesn't *seem* to affect anything that noticable. Maybe Intelligence overwrites it on auto... but... eh. I dunno.
If anyone wants to solve this puzzle, be my guest.
Anyhow, on to the data....

And... uh... I'm done. Think I'll get some sleep now....

Code:
============================================================================= S T A T G L O S S A R Y=============================================================================First, let's define the stats a Chocobo has: Dash: The Chocobo's current sprinting speed Max Dash: The maximum sprinting speed this Chocobo will ever aspire to Run: The Chocobo's normal running speed Max Run: The maximum running speed this Chocobo will ever aspire to Stamina: The Chocobo's stamina, maxes at 9999 Accel: The Chocobo's acceleration Co-Op: The Chocobo's co-operation (How well it obeys Manual Control) Int: The Chocobo's intelligence (How well it uses Auto Control) RunType: The Chocobo's running type (0:Normal to 2:Sprinter) Normal is better? RT Count: A counter connected to RunType regarding feeding Races Won: The number of races the Chocobo has won Gender: The gender of the Chocobo Color: The color of the Chocobo Rating: How *good* the Chocobo is. 1 is the best(Wonderful!), 8 is the worst [ Dash / 34] is the Speed that Chocobo Racing will report [Stamina / 10] is the Stamina that Chocobo Racing will report============================================================================= B A S E C H O C O B O S=============================================================================When you catch a Chocobo, it is placed in the yard. The *only* stat storedfor it is the Rating: Wonderful, Great, Good, etc. The stats are not decideduntil you confirm with Billy that you'll move them into the stable.The Ratings we will call them by are: Wonderful, Great, Good, So-So, Average, Poor, Bad, TerribleNaturally, all Chocobos caught will be Yellow Chocobos with the Rating they were given when you caught them. As for the rest of the stats, they are covered in the following sections:============================================================================= Max Dash and Stamina======================For each Rating, the base value of Max Dash and Stamina can be each have up to 8 different values. The values are linked: if you get a certain value for Max Dash, you will get the corresponding value for Stamina as well. Here's a table showing the 8 choices for each Rating: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Wonderful MDash 3500 3600 3700 3800 3800 3900 4000 4000 Stam 4500 4300 4200 4000 4000 4000 3800 3500Great MDash 3000 3000 3100 3200 3300 3400 3500 3600 Stam 3800 3600 3500 3400 3300 3200 3200 3000Good MDash 2800 2800 3000 3000 3100 3100 3200 3300 Stam 3500 3300 3200 3100 3000 2900 2800 2600So-So MDash 2400 2500 2600 2700 2800 3000 3000 3000 Stam 3300 3100 3000 3000 2800 2700 2600 3000Average MDash 2000 2200 2300 2400 2600 2800 2500...2500 Stam 2500 2300 2200 2100 1900 1800 2000...2000Poor MDash 1800 1900 2100 2200 2300 2000...2000...2000 Stam 2000 1700 1500 1300 1000 1600...1600...1600Bad MDash 1500 1600 1700 1900 2000 1800...1800...1800 Stam 1300 1200 1100 900 800 1000...1000...1000Terrible MDash 1300 1400 1600 1700 1800 1500...1500...1500 Stam 1000 900 700 600 500 800....800....800Once the base values for Max Dash and Stamina have been determined, they will be adjusted seperately: 1/2 chance of being increased by Rnd(0..127) 1/2 chance of being decreased by Rnd(0..127)============================================================================= Dash ======A lot simpler than the previous section, Dash is set to merely a percentage of the Max Stat. The formula used depends on the Rating: Wonderful, Great, Good and So-So: Dash = [Max Dash / 10] * Rnd(5..8) Average, Poor, Bad and Terrible: Dash = [Max Dash / 10] * ([Rnd(0..255) / 50] + 3)============================================================================= Run and Max Run=================These are again related, so we will deal with them together.First, we must define a modifier we will be using. It differs depending on the Rating of the Chocobo: Wonderful, Great, Good and So-So: x = 100 * Rnd(2..4) Average, Poor, Bad and Terrible: x = 100 * Rnd(2..5)Once this is defined, then: Max Run = Max Dash - x Run = Dash - xAnd that's the base stats done.============================================================================= The Rest of the Stats=======================Let's go over the rest.Co-Op, RT Count and Races Won are all set to 0, naturally.Gender is randomly determined between Male and Female, 50/50 chance of either.Acceleration and Intelligence are randomly determined multiples of 10, again based on the Rating: Acceleration Intelligence Wonderful/ Great: 10 * Rnd(6..7) 10 * Rnd(5..6) Good/ So-So: 10 * Rnd(5..6) 10 * Rnd(3..4) Average/ Poor: 10 * Rnd(3..5) 10 * Rnd(0..2) Bad/ Terrible: 10 * Rnd(2..5) 10 * Rnd(0..2)And finally, RunType is randomly determined. First, you have a chance at RunType 0 - the Normal RunType - and this depends on the Rating again: Chance of RunType 0 Wonderful/ Great: 7/8 Good/ So-So: 3/4 Average/ Poor: 1/2 Bad/ Terrible: 1/2If you don't get RunType 0, then you have a 50/50 chance each of RunTypes 1 and 2.And that's that! The new Chocobo is created. All that remains is to name it and put in the stable. And then we can get to feeding it...============================================================================= F E E D I N G G R E E N S=============================================================================Fairly simple: each Green increases certain stats by random amounts per Green. Here's how each of the Greens change a Chocobo's stats.Gysahl====== x = Rnd(0..3) Dash increases by x, Maximum of Max Dash Run increases by Rnd(0..2), Maximum of Max Run Stamina increases by 3 - x, Maximum of 9999 Co-Op increases by 1, Maximum of 100Krakka====== Int increases by Rnd(1..2), Maximum of 100 Co-Op increases by 1, Maximum of 100Tantal====== Dash increases by Rnd(1..4), Maximum of Max Dash Run increases by Rnd(1..4), Maximum of Max Run Stamina increases by Rnd(1..2), Maximum of 9999 Int increases by 1, Maximum of 100 Co-Op increases by 1, Maximum of 100Pahsana======= Int increases by Rnd(1..8), Maximum of 100 If RunType > 0, Then RT Count increases by Rnd(1..4) If RT Count reaches the maximum of 100, RunType = 0 Co-Op increases by 1, Maximum of 100 75% chance Co-Op will increase by 1 again, Maximum of 100Curiel====== Dash increases by Rnd(0..3), Maximum of Max Dash Run increases by Rnd(0..3), Maximum of Max Run Stamina increases by Rnd(3..10), Maximum of 9999 Co-Op increases by 2, Maximum of 100Mimett====== Dash increases by Rnd(1..16), Maximum of Max Dash Run increases by Rnd(3..10), Maximum of Max Run 25% chance: Accel increases by 1, Maximum of 80 Co-Op increases by 2, Maximum of 100Reagan====== x = [Dash / 20] y = [Rnd(0..255) / 25] 50% chance: x = x + y 50% chance: x = x - y, Minimum of 0 Increase Dash by x, Maximum of Max Dash x = [Run / 20] y = [Rnd(0..255) / 25] 50% chance: x = x + y 50% chance: x = x - y, Minimum of 0 Increase Run by x, Maximum of Max Run x = [Stamina / 100] y = [Rnd(0..255) / 25] 50% chance: x = x + y 50% chance: x = x - y, Minimum of 0 Increase Stamina by x, Maximum of 9999 Co-Op increases by 3, Maximum of 100Sylkis====== x = [Dash / 10] y = [Rnd(0..255) / 25] 50% chance: x = x + y 50% chance: x = x - y, Minimum of 0 Increase Dash by x, Maximum of Max Dash x = [Run / 10] y = [Rnd(0..255) / 25] 50% chance: x = x + y 50% chance: x = x - y, Minimum of 0 Increase Run by x, Maximum of Max Run x = [Stamina / 50] y = [Rnd(0..255) / 25] 50% chance: x = x + y 50% chance: x = x - y, Minimum of 0 Increase Stamina by x, Maximum of 9999 Int increases by Rnd(1..4), Maximum of 100 Co-Op increases by 4, Maximum of 100And now, on to the final section: breeding.... ============================================================================= B R E E D I N G D A T A=============================================================================When you're ready to mate two Chocobos to create a newborn one... well, the most important choice you get to make is which Nut you'll feed them. Therefore, we will go over each Nut in turn.A few notes before we begin. The first Chocobo you pick is very important when determining the stats of a baby for most of the Nuts. You'll also notice the following: 1) It is impossible to make your first Green or Blue Chocobo without a Carob Nut. 2) However, it *IS* possible to make a Black Chocobo with any Nut except a Zeio. 3) While it's possible to get a guaranteed Gold Chocobo when mating a Black and a Wonderful Chocobo (providing they have won enough total races), mating a Black and a Gold is *NOT* a guarantee unless the Gold has a Wonderful Rating.So, some fairly interesting things to see.In addition, the code is very complicated, and I can't guarantee I haven't made any mistakes with translating it into readable form. This document was difficult enough to compile.============================================================================= Pepio Nut=========== Basic Stats ----------- Max Dash : Average of Parents' Max Dash - 100*Rnd(1..2) Minimum of 300 Dash : Average of Parents' Dash - 100*Rnd(1..2) Minimum of 300 Max Run : Average of Parents' Max Run - 100*Rnd(1..4) Minimum of 300 Run : Average of Parents' Run - 100*Rnd(1..2) Minimum of 300 Stamina : Average of Parents' Stamina - Rnd(0..255) Minimum of 1 Note that the minimums only apply for the initial values; further reductions can safely ignore them If Dash is greater than or equal to Max Dash, subtract 100 from it until it is lower than Max Dash If Max Run is greater than or equal to Max Dash, subtract 100 from it until it is lower than Max Dash If Run is greater than or equal to either Dash or Max Run, subtract 100 from it until it is lower than both If the baby chocobo's Max Dash is under 4000, there is a 1/512 chance that a bonus will be applied to the Chocobo's Dash stats, using the following: 1/128: Max Dash is set to 4000 1/128: Max Dash is set to 4100 2/128: Max Dash is set to 4200 3/128: Max Dash is set to 4300 1/128: Max Dash is set to 4500 120/128: No change to Max Dash Its Dash is then set to its Max Dash, and then 6 random numbers each between 0 and 255 (Rnd(0..255)) are subtracted from it. That means that it could end up anywhere between 0 to 1530 beneath your Max Dash.

The Rating of the newborn in this case will be the same as the first Parent If *everything else* fails, then the baby will be a Yellow Chocobo, and have a 50/50 chance of getting either its mother's or its father's Rating============================================================================= Zeio Nut========== Basic Stats ----------- Max Dash : See below Dash : Average of Parent's Dash Max Run : 80/256 chance of highest of Parents' Max Run increased by 1/8th, maximum of 6000 15/256 chance of highest of Parents' Max Run decreased by 1/20th, minimum of 1 161/256 chance of average of Parents' Max Run Run : Average of Parent's Run Stamina : 175/256 chance of highest of Parents' Stamina increased by 1/20th, maximum of 9999 81/256 chance of average of Parents' Stamina If a Gold Chocobo was born (see below for what causes this) and the average of the Parents' Max Dash is less than 5000, then the following 'bonuses' will be applied: 7/16: Max Dash is set to 5000 2/16: Max Dash is set to 5100 2/16: Max Dash is set to 5200 1/16: Max Dash is set to 5300 1/16: Max Dash is set to 5400 2/16: Max Dash is set to 5500 1/16: Max Dash is set to 5950 After this bonus, the Max Dash is further modified: x = [Random(0..255) / 10] 50% chance that Max Dash is increased by 'x' otherwise, Max Dash is decreased by 'x' Otherwise (the baby is not a Gold Chocobo or the average Max Dash was greater or equal to 5000): 55/256: The baby's Max Dash will be set to the highest of the Parents' Max Dash increased by 1/10th, maximum of 6000 201/256: The baby's Max Dash will be set to the average of the Parents' Max Dash If the Chocobo's Max Run is greater or equal to its Max Dash, then Max Run is reduced by 100 repeatedly until it is lower than Max Dash. If a Gold Chocobo was born and its Max Run is less than 4000, then it gets a bonus of 1000 to its Max Run. This can potentially cause it to go above Max Dash. Finally, if the baby Chocobo's Run is greater or equal to its Max Run, the Run value is reduced by 100 repeatedly until it is lower than Max Run. Extra Stats ----------- Accel : Average of Parents' Accel Co-Op : 0 Int : Average of Parents' Int RunType : See Notes RT Count : 0 Races Won: 0 Gender : 50% chance of Male or Female Color/Rating: First, if you are mating a Black and a Wonderful Chocobo, then: 1/32 chance: Gold Chocobo 31/32 chance: Gold Chocobo *ONLY* if the total number of Races Won by the parents add up to 12 or more If you get a Gold Chocobo by this method, then it will have a Rating of Great If you don't get an automatic Gold Chocobo or aren't mating a Black and a Wonderful Chocobo in the first place, then you have a 50% chance of the father's color and a 50% chance of the mother's color Under those circumstances, there's a 50/50 chance it'll get either the father's or the mother's Rating============================================================================= FINAL BREEDING NOTES====================== The Parent Chocobos must wait 3-10 battles before they recover.The Baby Chocobo must wait 3-18 battles before it matures.There is a 17/256 chance that the new Chocobo will be naturally more adapt at dashing than running, which places penalties on its Run stats and grants bonuses to its Dash stats. However, it requires a couple of extra conditions: First, x = 100 * Rnd(3..10) Now, the modifications will only go ahead if the Baby's Run stat is greater than x, and that the Baby's Max Dash stat, when increased by x, does not exceed 6000. If this is true, then: Baby's Run and Max Run stats are reduced by x. Baby's Dash and Max Dash stats are increased by x. Finally, the RunType of the Baby Chocobo is determined like so: If both of the parents had a RunType that was not 0, then the Baby has a 50% chance each of RunTypes 1 and 2. If at least one of them had a RunType that was 0, there is a 50% chance that the baby will have either RunTypes 1 or 2 (equal chance). Otherwise, what the baby gets becomes slightly more complicated. It *should* be RunType 0, but because FF7 does not reinitialise the variable, it is *possible* for the baby to get the RunType of the previous chocobo that was born provided you haven't left the screen since the last breeding. Since it's only possible to get two babies without leaving the ranch, this generally has very little effect... but it is, at least, possible. In general though, you should get RunType 0 if the previous conditions failed.=============================================================================And... uh... I'm done. Think I'll get some sleep now....
