Kinds Of Chocobos:
Color of Chocobo
|
Description
|
Yellow
|
This is the basic chocobo available at the start. It can travel over snow and grass only. It can't travel over mountains, brown patches, water etc. It's just a quicker method of travel early on in the game. Basically it's not very good, my friend.
|
Green
|
This is second up from the yellow chocobo and can travel in the shallow waters (like the little bronco), but that's about it.
|
Blue
|
Blue chocobos can travel over shallow water, rivers and brown areas.
|
Black
|
Black chocobo's can go anywhere the blue and green can, except it can travel over mountains (but not deep water).
|
Gold
|
The ultimate chocobo can travel absolutely anywhere on the world map; up mountains, over rivers. You name it. Pass over the ocean and get Knights of the Round in the far north-east corner.

Catching a Chocobo
First of all, make sure that you are past the beggining of the game (make sure you're out of Midgar). Then, make your way toward the Chocobo Farm. When you get there, go in and buy the Chocobo Lure materia from Billy the stable boy. You can find him in the barn. After you buy the materia from him, you should buy some greens too. At this point, it doesn't really matter what greens you buy. The cheapest ones will do.
Leave the farm and equip the materia. You can equip it on anybody, it doesn't matter. Just make sure someone has it equiped. After it has been equiped, walk along the footprints that you can see near the barn on the world map. You have about a 50% chance of running into a chocobo. You'll know when you run into a chocobo. The music will get funky (sounds kinda like a beach boys tune...) and you'll go into a battle with a chocobo and a few other enemies.
The first thing you should do is throw one of your greens at the chocobo. You can do this by selecting item and the selecting the greens and the selecting the chocobo. The reason that you have to throw the greens is so you can keep him occupied while you kill off the other enemies. That should keep him busy for a few seconds. Try to kill off the other enemies before he finishes his first serving. If you don't kill the enemies in time, throw out another green. That should be enough. When you kill all the enemies and the chocobo didn't run away, you'll have yourself a much faster mean of transportation and a way to finally get past the Midgar Golem.
