Cooking actually affect everyone in your party, even those who aren't actively fighting. I had Sheena sitting on the bench, while Lloyd is making rice balls.

I'm glad someone made a food guide that makes sense. It's clear, concise, and has silly pictures that improve the aesthetics. Well done! ^_^

@Pokemon Master Jakob its true, Sheena seems to go into overlimit about 3x more then Lloyd possibly due too her summons

I've actually found that Sheena goes into Overlimit more frequently than any other character in the game except MAYBE Lloyd.

Wow, at last I get the tomato meme. I will have to play around with this.

Chicken or egg question, does Sheena like nothing because she's a citizen of the world in the making or because Namco doesn't want us having easy access to summons once our Gald runneth over?
