Items in Fresh Pretty Cure!

This is the list of Items in Fresh Pretty Cure! To make the item's description clearer, I stock and use images as usual. Enjoy!

Linkrun (リンクルン Rinkurun)
Debut: Episode 1
Obtained when a Pickrun and an inanimate object belonging to the chosen person fuse together. It allows the person to transform into Pretty Cure by inserting the key and spinning the button inside. It also supplies many items to meet Chiffon's needs, as well as acting as a regular phone when needed.

Pickrun (ピックルン Pikkurun)
Debut: Episode 1
A total of four keys - the Pirun (ピルン Pirun), specializing in cooking (making food for Chiffon), Blun (ブルン Burun), specializing in fashion (can change Chiffon or Pretty Cure's clothing), Kirun (キルン Kirun), specializing in communication (understand what the animal is talking about), and Akarun (アカルン Akarun), specializing in transportation (teleport people to specific place). Each key fuses with an inanimate object belonging to the chosen and changes it into a Linkrun. When Chiffon matures a little, they emerge from the Cure's Linkrun and give her access to her Cure Stick, as well as special items from the Linkrun. The Akarun is rather special, not needing to grow with Chiffon. The special Cure Angel form is activated by changing the Pirun into a white Pickrun with angel wings in the movie.

Cure Vitan (キュアビタン Kyua Bitan)
Debut: Episode 8
The baby food from Sweets Kingdom to feed Chiffon. When Love forgot to refill in Episode 8, she with Miki and Inori (not with Setsuna since she is still Eas that time) searching with the ingredients (Thanks to kokoda_koji's review here, read the descriptions in that link or watch the episode for details):

• Rainbow Egg

• A Maiden's Tear from the sky

• Running Unicorn's Tail

• Tornado Fragment

• Angel's Fortune Ring

Fresh Cure Stick (フレッシュキュアスティック Furesshu Kyua Sutikku)
Debut: Episode 8; Episode 13; Episode 17
A series of devices produced by the Pickruns once they emerge from the Linkruns. Love obtains hers first, then Inori, then Miki. Each Fresh Stick has a different jewel at its end. Love has the Peach Rod (ピーチロッド Pīchi Roddo), Miki the Berry Sword (ベリーソード Berī Sōdo), and Inori the Pine Flute (パインフルート Pain Furūto). These sticks increase the power of their basic attacks by adding "Fresh" in the end of the attack word. One calls out the attack by pressing all the buttons.

Passion Harp (パッションハープ Passhon Hāpu)

Debut: Episode 24

Cure Passion uses this to attack. It operates the same way as the Cure Stick. Unlike the other Cures, however, Setsuna is able to use hers right away. It is used to summon an attack Happiness Hurricane.

Clover Box of Happiness (幸せのクローバーボックス Shiawase no Kurōbā Bokkusu)
Debut: Episode 32
A decorated music box. It serves several functions;

• First, it can warn the girls of Nakewamekes (this pics from Episode 33).

 

• Second, it lures and returns Chiffon to normal when she becomes Infinity (pics from Episode 35), 

 

Unless the change is activated by Northa's reed pipe (as shown in three pics above in Episode 44).

 

• Third, it allows Pretty Cure to perform "Lucky Clover Grand Finale." 
• It will also produces barrier to avoid Labyrinth taking it (in images above this item name).

Restaurant Story

It's iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone game time! Remember "Story" series like City Story or Nightclub Story? Now I'm explain my favorite "Story" game Restaurant Story, Farm Story, and Bakery Story. First is Restaurant Story.

Restaurant Story is the one of the simulation game series "Story." This game was released in October 13 2010. In this game, you can build your very own restaurant (like Bakery Story that will explain later) released by TeamLava. And keeping costumer happy and wel-fed is also included. But what is gameplay in this game? Well, I will show you.

First, the costumer came to the restaurant. After choosing the seat, they will eat the food that has stored in the counter, and the costumer will leave happy. Otherwise, if there is no food in the counter, they will just sitting in the table, and after a while, leaving angry... To solve this, you must have the food in the counter, but how?

That's why the cookbook comes in. There are 3 separate cooking appliances, Stove, Oven, and Grill. Each appliances also have 4 separate section, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert (All is not included since All section includes all Menus in the each appliance's Cookbook). Each menu includes the vary amount of time to finish, XP, and costs, and requires 2 preparations before the cooking time starts and 1 preparation before serving.

The cooking time depends of the number of plates can be served. The longer the cooking time is, the more plates can serves, and vice versa. Please note that not all the menus can be all be unlocked, you must be in specified level to unlock the new menus. And also, please note again that the food will always spoiled (the fly icon) if you're not serving the food on time. (EX: Quesadilla requires Level 44 to unlock)

The cons in this game, the Gems. Seriously, Gems, yeah, you will start with 14 Gems and 40.000 coins if I am right (please correct me if I'm wrong). Some goods that you can buy in Design Menu requires Gems. To get more gems, you can choose from 24 until 580 Gems, but it requires real American money, but fortunately if you have master Line Cook (Level 2) and Pastry Chef (Level 4) with cook many times at one menu, you will obtained 1 Gem and 50XP. But for faster we must do the first way, that is just sad. Oh, you can also get 1 Gem if you got gold medal in Badge.

 

Anyway, let's move on. Another feature of this game is neighbourhood. Basically, for more expansion of the restaurant, you'll need neighbours. Neighbours can be accessed by typing the Storm8 ID and wait for them to accept your request. Or in Community tab, you can visit other people's restaurant and leave them tip. You can also send them gifts! Pretty interesting, huh?

See the second tab on the upper right? It's Collectibles section. It's what you're looking for.

The new feature I want to discuss for is Collectibles. How to get this collectibles? Just do what should you do: prepare and serving food, buying things in Design tab, etc. Each activity will get you one of these collectible parts if you're lucky (i.e. 1 Egg), and if you have part of the collectibles complete (i..e. All parts on Yummy Ingredients), click Redeem to claim a reward! It's good that you will get the Diner Table and Golden Utensil. But remember, this is for iOS and TeamLava will try this section for Android (mine is bought by App Store).

In overall, I love this game more than City Story and Zoo Story. But note that this game is online game and requires Internet access, but I have cellular network so that problem is only a small problem (it can be a real problem when the connection is slow, however). The interesting thing is weekly update, so check often every week (Saturday if I am right). If you loves simulation game or just want to waste your leisure time, this is not really a problem to play this. But, pass on this "Story" series if you don't like to be notified or Gem purchases.

Edit April 24 2012:
Other appliances in this game are Turducken, Chestnut Maker, Holiday Drink Machine, Outdoor Grill, Nacho Machine, Candy Heart Stove, Chocolate Maker, Smoker Pit, Shamrock Oven, Steampunk Oven, and Egg Stove. My iPad is actually the office's iPad, so I can't play longer than you though, sorry!

Alright, see you to the next review! Look forward to Farm Story review! I'm searching for a chance now, I can jump to Bakery Story if the chance isn't right yet to write Farm Story.
Oh, I'm forgot my Storm8 ID, you can add me as a neighbour with my ID himawari_hana.

Fresh Pretty Cure!

Fresh Pretty Cure! (フレッシュプリキュア!, Furesshu PuriKyua!; also known as Fresh PreCure!, but the English official spelling is Fresh Pretty Cure) is a Japanese anime series and the sixth Pretty Cure installment by Izumi Todo. This is my third favorite series after Heartcatch and Suite. Produced by Toei Animation and Satelight, the series premiered on February 1, 2009 to January 31, 2010 on TV Asahi, replacing Yes! PreCure 5 Go Go! on its time slot. The series's main themes is both Card Suits: which are prominent to the symbols of the main cures and also Fruits and Clovers: which are prominent to the names of the main cures and the magical devices and attacks they use.

Story

Love Momozono is a 14-year-old student at Yotsuba Junior Highschool that tends to care more for others than for herself. One day she visits a show of the famous dance unit "Trinity" and decides to become a dancer, too. On the same event, subordinates of the Labyrinth Kingdom show up who want to collect the unhappiness of the audience. Love gets the power to change into Cure Peach and fights them. Soon after, she is joined by her good friends Miki (Cure Berry), Inori (Cure Pine) and later in the series Setsuna (Cure Passion).

Characters

Pretty Cures

(See Pink, Blue, Yellow and Red Heroine for details about Pretty Cures in this series, I don't want to explain it more about Cure Peach, Cure Berry, Cure Pine, and Cure Passion)

Fairy Mascots

Tart (タルト Taruto)

Seiyuu: Taiki Matsuno (same seiyuu as Wisdom in Futari wa Pretty Cure and Max Heart)

A ferret-like fairy (but prefers for a call 'cute fairy' than that), he is Chiffon's caretaker, but always has trouble taking care of her. He is always anxious but kind, and has a Kansai dialect. He takes Chiffon to the human world from the Kingdom of Sweets, on his search for the Pretty Cures. He is prone to worrying and often grumbles, but becomes weak to a good story and will become over emotional. He also loves Kaoru's donuts. Tart is the prince of the Sweets Kingdom, who went to the human world and is engaged to Azukina.

Chiffon (シフォン Shifon) / Infinity (インフィニティ Infiniti)

Seiyuu: Satomi Kōrogi

A baby fairy from the Kingdom of Sweets, she likes to make practical jokes with others. Chiffon often use espers power (ESP), which involves her using magic with a green aura, to make people have troubles and laugh. Love and the others, including Tart, take care of her. The mark on her forehead gives a light that has many different abilities, including giving the power for the Pretty Cures to transform and give them power ups. Chiffon acted like a normal baby at first, but the girls' Pickruns have different effects on her (Pirun: She started eating human foods, Kirun: She began to speak, Blun: She tried on different clothes, Akarun: Strengthened her current powers). Her true identity is "Infinity", the limitless memory and a god-like entity, and can only say "I am Infinity. The unlimited memory (わが名はインフィニティ、無限のメモリーなり
Waga na wa infiniti, mugen no memorīnari)".

Azukina (アズキーナ Azukīna)

Seiyuu: Mayu Isshiki

A tall squirrel-like fairy and Tarte's fiancée, Azukina is royal from a kingdom close to the Kingdom of Sweets. In order to unite these kingdoms, she was arranged to marry Tarte, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Sweets. Since then, they have had a close relationship, and grown attracted to each other. When Tarte goes to the human world with Chiffon to search for the Pretty Cures, she worries deeply, and is relieved when he comes back for a short visit with the founded Pretty Cures. Azukina and Tarte both care deeply for each other and will do everything to protect the other.

Labyrinth

The villains in this series are known collectively as denizens of "Labyinth" (ラビリンス Rabirinsu). Their names come from the cardinal directions.

Westar (ウエスター, Wesutā) / Hayato Nishi (西 隼人, Nishi Hayato)

Seiyuu: Yasunori Matsumoto

At first sight, he might seem like a heartthrob, but in truth, he's a dumb muscle who becomes some sort of comic relief later in the series. Westar seems to have feelings for Eas, and is the most effected by her betrayal. His theme color is yellow.

He along with Soular dies fighting Cure Berry and Cure Passion. In episode 46, he and Soular were sucked into a blackhole which leads them to death. In episode 48, Souler and him were brought back to life by Chiffon to help the Pretty Cures and since they don't work for Moebius anymore, their clothes have changed to white.

 

Soular (サウラー, Saurā) / Shun Minami (南 瞬, Minami Shun)

Seiyuu: Kenichi Suzumura

He is calm and reserved, and resembles Mucardia from the previous series, Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo. He often plans out his attacks before going on a mission, always knowing beforehand what to do. His theme color is sea-green.

In episode 48, Westar and him were brought back to life by Chiffon to help the Pretty Cures and were given the ability to summon Hohoemina. These are like Nakewameke, but have a white diamond power source and work for the forces of good.

 

Northa (ノーザ, Nōza) / Nayuta Kita (北 那由他, Kita Nayuta)

Seiyuu: Misa Watanabe

The highest ranking member of Labyrinth and the most evil. After Moebius deems Wester and Souler to be useless, he calls upon Northa to retrieve Infinity. She first appears in episode 36, although her face was vaguely shown in the new opening sequence from episode 26. In episode 49 it is revealed that she was created by Moebius using the DNA of a plant.


One of two Nakewameke in Episode 34

Nakewameke (ナケワメーケ, Nakewamēke)

These creatures play the role of the monsters-of-the-day, similar to the Zakenna, Uzaina, Kowaina and Hoshiina in the preceding series. Their name can mean "cry and shout" unlike Most magical girl anime, most of the choice of monsters in this season are Robots.

Nakisakebe in Episode 19

Nakisakebe (ナキサケーベ, Nakisakēbe)

These creatures replace the Nakewameke's role as monsters-of-the-day and they first appear in Episode 19 until Episode 22. These are created by upgrades to the Labyrinth members' cards and said card resembles a Tetrahedral Net with eyes. Their name can mean "cry loudly". Use of the Nakisakebe cards causes pain and anger to the user.

Sorewatase in Episode 36

Sorewatase (ソレワターセ, Sorewatāse)

The newest creatures that replace the Nakewameke and Nakisakebe, they first appear in Episode 36. These serve as a radar for finding Infinity and only Northa can use them fully. Their name means "give me that".

 

Moebius (メビウス, Mebiusu)

Seiyuu: Tomomichi Nishimura

This demon is the leader of Labyrinth who wishes to rule all worlds, thinking of all his subjects to be only mindless pawns. He grants the members of Labyrinth their items. In episode 49 it is revealed that the Moebius we have seen throughout the series is just a robot. The real Moebius is a supercomupter that hypnotised it's creators i.e. the people of Labyrinth.

Cline (クライン, Kurain)
