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
