Balan Wonderworld - Playthrough Part 33 (Obtaining the King Tim)

I finally managed to obtain the King Tim. How do you do that, you ask? Well, first you need to feed a regular Tim with the red, blue and pink crystals until it has 3 badges. Then you have to grow it enough by feeding it yellow crystals to the point where it can reproduce. You throw another Tim the usual way at it and hope that a King Tim will hatch out of the egg. Why hope? Because it's RANDOM! There is no guarantee that all this effort of raising a big 3 badge Tim will produce a King Tim. How is anyone supposed to find this out, considering that I had to look up online how to do it (something I almost never do these days)? Oh, and one more tip - don't use Tims with badges for throwing at the big Tim for reproduction because they'll lose all their badges - again, who thought this was a good idea? In any case I tried growing the King Tim enough to pick up and throw at the statue, but he and the rest ate about 2000 of my yellow crystals and still didn't grow up. Honestly, I am repeating myself, but this game has some of the worst design decisions I've ever seen.
