Very incorrect yoshi. if you keep hitting it, it will die.
Umm no it doens't. Trust me I know a lot more than you. There's actually the life span that gets affected. If the Chao is mistreated too much then it'll have a life span of 3 years rather than the healthy 5 years...Of course you can completely kick the shit out of you chao and not feed it or anything that may result it in dieing even earlier...
(1 years= 3 hours) (5 years= 15 hours) (2 reinceration = 30 hours) I've made every single chao possible without a AC. (meaning not the tails, amy, or knux chao)
