a.k.a. "Fighting Cooking Legend Bistro Recipe"
a.k.a. "Fighting Foodons" D:

It's a monster-raising RPG, where the monsters are food. D: Yes.
The monsters are called Foodons, and they are made by cooking food then touching it with a "recipe card", which brings it to life. The Foodons are then stored in the cards and they can be brought out at any time to battle with eachother. A person who cooks and uses Foodons is called a "Bistra". *nod*
You play as young Bistra named Zen, who is travelling across the world searching for his father, Tsukiji, who was captured by the evil Don Cook and his evil army of Bistras, the "Bishocker" (Bishoku = gourmet). *nod*

There were two games for GBC (second was a sequel), and one for the original Wonderswan! [Pic]
There was a highly ridiculous 2-volume manga, serialized in Comic Bom Bom! [Pic] [Pic]
There was a kind of crappy 26-episode anime series! [Opening]
...For which there was a 4kids dub, called Fighting Foodons! No comment. XD [Opening] (Though I haven't seen either.)

Some screens of the first GBC game...

Rather than a top-down view, there's a linear world map with random Bistra battles at each point. The battles are like a simplified Pokemon, with the ability to throw ingredients at your Foodons to power them up, or at the enemy Foodons for status effects, etc. There are lots of Foodon types, such as Egg, Noodle, Rice, Vegetable, Meat... (Egg beats rice but is weak to soup and desserts.) Rather than finding them wild, you make Foodons by winning recipes from battle and collecting the right ingredients to make them. XD There are 180 Foodons total between the two GBC games, with no evolutions. *nod*

I found out about this series before I got into Telefang. XD The games are alright, but it's the sheer weirdness that makes it cool... XD The series is extremely obscure, and there's very little about it on the internet... For a while I thought it would be cool to make a fansite or a forum for it and maybe learn to make a translation patch... But, well yeah. XD It's amazing how many wacky, obscure monster-raising games were actually made that no one ever heard of. XD Awesome. <3

If you want help with a translation (on the hacking side of things) or a fansite then I'd be happy to help. :)

You'd have to write the text content for the site and/or do any translation work though. :(

It sounds like a good game. The anime looks a bit childish though.
If I say that I am going to do something and I don't get around to it then please remind me.

Bistro Recipe is a game by Smilesoft, shouldn't this be moved to Smilesoft - General?

Anyways, yeah, this game is nice. I played through the first area. Oh, and started a romanization patch. I shoud probably finish it. Yep, I should ^^

No it isn't. Neither is it a game published or created by Rocket. It was created by either Red 5 or Banpresto.

Someone is selling some Kakutou Ryouri Densetsu Bistro Recipe figures on ebay. The lot ends in 5 days though:

They also have the sequel and the wonderswan version on Gamebaz:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This game looks really neat.
I looked around for the a copy of the original game after reading this topic, but they don't seem to sell it anywhere, not even on Gamebaz. So it must be pretty rare. I bought the sequel instead, since it seemed about the same as the first in terms of gameplay. I'm looking forward to playing it! ^_^

That bird-meatball thing is win. I've always wanted a flying meatballl that could battle.

The flying meatball bird reminds me a little of Corvus (or in Stellarwind's words: the flying lima bean xD) from Dino Device.

So far, this game is epic. The animations are amazing, and the Foodons are hilarious.

I don't really understand any of it, and the music is slightly ear-bleeding. I like it nonetheless.

I did start romanizing(Not translating) some of the names.

I actually started a name list, but had trouble because they're all so punny... And I couldn't tell how to spell the chinese food names, or even figure out what some were from the katakana... I might try again sometime. XD

Hm, that reminds me that I did a romaji patch for this game too, which should make romanizing the names a breeze... I don't really do/use romaji patch lately though, since I want to focus on learning kana more.

Okay, so I finished the main story...(I think, I just beat all the people in that cave, then the credits started rolling...so yeah...) All I want to know is what happens now. Because most of my list of Foodons is unfilled...Is there some post-storyline thing? Seeing as I don't understand Japanese, I'm really confuzed.

Or do I need the other game or something?

Yeah, it looks like the story is split into two games and each only has half of the Foodons. You can transfer them between games with passwords though, I think. I actually haven't played the game in ages, so I still haven't finished it... >_<

I have a guide book for the first game so I might be able to make a Foodon list of some sort with their attacks and types... It looks like there weren't any guides made for the second game though, so I'd only be able to cover half of them for now.

I'll see if I can find the second one (As a ROM)then. If I finish it as fast as the first, I should be good.

To be honest, that's how more multiple-version monster collection games should do it. Having only a handful of mons making up the version differences seems like a waste.

No it isn't. It encourages you to trade and interact with others.

What I mean is that there should be a larger number of version-exclusives, it's a bit silly to have two separate games when the only difference is like 10% of the monsters.
