Koharu can't even bake with her own Pokemon anymore.

I saw this earlier and was wondering if there would be a topic.

Koharu can't even bake with her own Pokemon anymore.

She baked things for Ash and Gou on Valentines, so now they bake things for her.

Those Pikachu cupcakes look kinda good. And Koharu sweetie I'm so sorry.

What is even White day?

What is even White day?

In short: In Japan, during Valentine's Day, girls give chocolate to guys. One month later (March 14th), the guys give white things to girls. I think it had to be the girls that gave them something for Valentine's, but I'm not that sure (it's 7:00 a.m. at the time of this post in my country and I didn't sleep well).

So, will they give those to Koharu?

 

[Silktree]

They should have added some representation of Koharu. Ash, Go and Sakuragi were represented in the previous drawing.

Interesting, did they post any similar artwork during SM's run? Or even XY?

A girl on Valentine's Day gives chocolate to a guy. Fine.

A boy on White Day gives something white to a girl. Fine.

Ash is cooking. Anything he touches in the kitchen becomes poison regardless of anyone else in the room. Not fine.

Therefore, Ash is clearly cooking to show his spite. Sheesh, talk about harsh.

Happy (late) White Day

This is the first series where the anime has had its own official Twitter, hence there being so much of content like this now.

In fact, the tradition of White Day has changed some things since its creation. Currently, the gift does not need to be a white thing anymore.

That's why the desserts Go has on the tray are not white.

It's nice to see the male characters be able to cook again. I didn't like the gag with Sophocles and Satoshi being unable to cook while Mallow was capable of it in SM. Before SM the male characters always cooked and I have always thought that it was nice how they avoided the stereotype that the girls should always be the ones who cook which is so common in anime.

It's sad that the female character gets so little screentime though.

Now when I think about it, does Gou and Satoshi cook while they are traveling?

I don't think so.

There isn't a reason to cook in their travels, since these only last a day. Even if they need to eat, they just buy food.

 

[Twilight-Kun]

And here I thought you weren't supposed to make treats you were going to give to your partner with your partner

Guess they'll just have to pretend to be surprised by the gift

Besides, it seems that Koharu's got her eye on someone else...

This series should show festivities more often, specially with it supposedly being "international". I was hoping the not-Christmas and the not-Halloween episodes of XY would open the door to more but nope, here we are 5 years later without any other celebration.

Now when I think about it, does Gou and Satoshi cook while they are traveling?

If they can afford weekly travels to different countries they surely can afford restaurants without a problem.

They probably buy their food. On this subject though, I've always hated how there was always one person in the group in past arcs who had to cook for Ash and the others. I've never understood why the kids can't just make themselves their own individual meals (sandwiches take a few minutes to make ffs) or why they can't just eat out at restaurants all the time instead of needing their own personal chef.

I don't think they had a dedicated cook in the Orange Islands, at least.
Maybe they forced Tracey to do it, though.

It made sense to give Brock the role of a parent, since that's exactly what he'd been doing with his siblings. Cilan did run a restaurant with his brothers even in the games. Clemont was very forced, though. Mallow had the "novelty" of being the first female cook, and you can blame Game Freak for that choice; it didn't matter since there was barely any traveling.

That said, relying on sandwiches and restaurants is a little sad. The writers wanted to instill a sense of family.
