It’s already concerning that adults rely on teenagers to defeat world-ending threats in the Pokemon universe. But looking closer, a strange pattern emerges: a surprising number of Pokemon villains – at least four, and possibly five if you count Scarlet and Violet – are actually parents. Unsurprisingly, these parents’ evil schemes have deeply affected their children. This setup of parent versus child creates compelling stories and reinforces the idea that kids are the heroes in Pokemon, often because the adults are ineffective or even part of the problem.

The “Bread With No Flour” perk doesn’t create a unique food item. Instead, it’s a cooking ability that gives you a chance to cook a dish without using any ingredients. If this happens, you’ll still get the meal, and the ingredients you would have used are automatically returned to you.

Once you get the quest from Shani, head to the Blue Gate map. Be sure to equip a loadout that includes a Safe Pocket, as you’ll need to carry an item back to Esperanza at the end of the quest—Free loadouts don’t have one.

Songs of Glimmerwick is a new open-world farming game coming to Steam that combines the magic school experience with the gameplay of Stardew Valley. Since Stardew Valley is a beloved indie hit that perfected the farming sim formula established by Harvest Moon – and added a lot of heart – I’m always looking for similar games. Given my enjoyment of Hogwarts Legacy, Songs of Glimmerwick has definitely caught my attention, and now all that’s left is to wait for its release.
