Am I the only one who physically cringes when sandwiches are mentioned this gen? I mean, is this what Spain is known for? Even Galar had curry, which is apparently popular in UK(?)

I literally get paid six figures to write, but whatever. Let's just agree to disagree. Kieran sucks, so whether he knew the ogre was a murderer or not is irrelevant.

So you're pretending to act as if Kiwi Farms is your job? Nigger, you don't get paid just to post bullshit on the forums. No wonder you are a complete NEET. :story:

It isn't, for me Spanish cuisine is stuff like paella, tortilla de patatas, or churros but they needed something that can use a lot of different ingredients for the game mechanic. That kind of Spanish food can be found in the restaurants around towns with premade effects, but I never used those meals since you're encouraged to make your own sandwich to control what you want. Even when there's a gym challenge around restaurants and food it's Japanese food. It really makes the region feel generic on top of the bland open-world design.
 
You complain about sandwiches but wait till the BW remake where you will have to squeeze the ingredients in the narrow chasm of a hot dog bun
 
I may have overestimated Shiny Roaring Moon’s ability to get Pokémon off of Home’s GTS, I‘ve only gotten Iron Crown and Iron Boulder from trading them.

I guess I’ll have to fire up Violet and Shiny hunt Iron Valiant if I want to get Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt without having to bulldoze through Perrin’s sidequests.

Oh, and TPCi announced a new Premium Tournament Collection themed around Iono.

I use one of the Restaurant Meals since it has a Raid Power: Water Lv. 2 effect and it’s easier than making a sandwich with the same raid power…

...but it’s not a dish that’s unique to Paldea, it’s the Exclusive Four-Piece Sushi (Frost Set) from Montenevera‘s Sushi High Roller restaurant.

Ironically enough the cafeteria at Blueberry Academy has a pizza as one of its meals. Unfortunately the effects are ass (Teensy Power: All Types Lv. 2
and Raid Power: All Types Lv. 1) compared to the Academy Special meal’s effects (Catching Power: All Types Lv. 1, Egg Power Lv. 1, and Sparkling Power: All Types Lv. 1).

As to what they look like in-game, here’s the pizza, it’s basically a deep-dish sausage pizza.

And here’s the Academy special. It consists of a bowl of ramen, a serving of fries covered in and assortment of sauces ( I can make out ketchup, ranch, and what looks like nacho cheese) and a lettuce leaf for presentation, a serving of flan on top of a doughnut, and what looks like handful of jellybeans.

And here are the other two options at the cafeteria, an over-the-top blueberry shake and a basket of fries with ketchup. And IIRC the students even mention that the entire menu isn’t particularly healthy.

Well, at least they got the American menu right. If it doesn't look like it will give me diabeetus just by looking at it, are you even trying?
Now let's see if they can make a game that doesn't crap itself during normal gameplay consistently
 
There are some salty ass Pokefanatics shitting their pants over PalWorld’s success. It’s literally that “leave the multimillion company alone” meme.

They should be happy. Having competition is the only existential crisis the Pokémon company can suffer that might snap them in line to complete a competent and decent game for once. Without competition everything will be SV forever.

I wonder if they can keep the momentum, Temtem was also a "Pokemon killer" and it crashed and burned to the ground.
But a part of me thinks competition won't just automatically make the games good, Yokai Watch might have been pressuring Pokemon during Gen 7 and that didn't stop the gen from being so lukewarm at best.

Pokemon Killers all have the same problem WoW Killers had - they just don't scratch the proverbial itch the same way what they're "trying to kill" does, and attempts to do so just make you a reskin with a gimmick. Or a fangame with a "dark, 3edgy5me story and absurd difficulty level" that misses the fucking point entirely.

Palworld at least has one thing going for it - I don't think its devs were the ones pushing the Pokemon Killer thing, I think that was the Internet being the Internet. Whether or not the games a one-off, if they can avoid falling into the trap of every other game thats tired to shake the proverbial table then they're already better off than most.
 
I kind of had some weird luck with Shiny hunting Iron Valiant last night. I only got two on a Fairy-type Sparkling sandwich (with one having a Mark) but after scrounging Tera Raids for more Herba Mystica I managed to find four on a second sandwich with one of those also having a Mark.

Unfortunately, I ran out of Premier Balls so I had to catch the second set of Shinies in Timer Balls. The theming's still there but I just like the uniformity of Premier Balls for Shiny Iron Valiant.

Also, changed things up a bit. I swapped out the remaining Shiny Roaring Moon's trade requirements from Gouging Fire to Bloodmoon Ursaluna and trading Shiny Iron Valiants for Scarlet's DLC Paradox Pokemon. So far only Roaring Moon's trade went through.

I'm also considering moving my Violet save over to my Switch Lite to make Tera Raids easier and Shiny hunting certain Pokémon easier, I can't do that if I have both titles' saves on the same console.

Cobsidering their designs are just ripping off Pokemon and it’s very blatant, it will be a one off when the edgy joke factor has fallen off in a month. Actual sucsess that matters will get Nintendo to take notice and likely sue them into oblivion for all the stolen designs.

Aren't Gouging Fire trades at this point just hackers trying to launder their GFs for a legit one?
