Take a Recovery Bath with the Healing Power of Pokemon
01.03.2024 - 16:52 / gamerant.com / Jack Jaegar
In the amazing world of Pokemon, each Pokemon has its own unique powers and abilities. Some of them are just used for battling with other Pokemon, it's true, but others are shown in the game and anime to be useful for daily life as well. They help humans in the Pokemon universe to traverse the land and water, and even do things like cooking, cleaning, and farming. Another important skill that some Pokemon are able to do is healing.
If you have ever wished that you could experience the healing power of a Pokemon yourself, well, now is your chance. In Japan, some public baths have just announced a new campaign to incorporate a Pokemon theme for a limited time. Along with decorations, special meals, and limited merchandise, the Pokemon theming will continue into the baths themselves. Finally, you too can experience a healing bath that uses the power of Pokemon.
A major chain of bathhouses in Japan called Raku Spa are behind this Pokemon campaign. Japan is famous for its public baths and onsen, which often appear in anime along with being on many traveller's wish lists to visit. Raku Spa is known as a «super sento» chain, meaning that they are bigger, more modern, and more luxurious than typical neighborhood public baths. They also have several locations across Japan, including a few in popular neighborhoods of Tokyo like Ikebukuro (which is already an otaku hotspot in the city).
If you are living in Japan or planning to visit soon, you can see a list of all participating chains of Raku Spa on their official website.
Hot baths are known around the world as methods of healing, whether its muscle cramps, dry skin, colds, or more. Raku Spa is using this idea coupled with the powers of healing Pokemon to create what they have dubbed «Pokemon Recovery Baths» for this event. The bathhouse has taken 8 Pokemon with healing powers from either the video games or trading card game and made different baths that people can enjoy, each one lasting just for a few days before the next one begins.
From March 8th — 10th will be Sprigatito’s Magical Leaf Bath, March 11th -13th Chansey’s Soft-Boiled Bath, March 14th -16th Scream Tail’s Encouraging Song Bath, March 17th -20th Milotic’s Life Dew Bath, March 21st — 23rd Poltchageist’s Hospitality Bath, March 17th — 20th Clefairy’s Moonlight Bath, March 28th — 30th Tsareena’s Trop Kick Bath, and the event will end with Snorlax’s Rest Bath on March 31st -April 3rd. While Raku Spa has not announced the details of what each recovery bath will specifically entail, we are guessing they will likely add special scents, herbs, and minerals to the baths to reflect the healing power they are representing. They may even change the color of the water.
Throughout the event, Raku Spa is also going

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's 'Creepy' Moogles Are Giving Players the Ick | Push Square
A series constant, Final Fantasy's Moogle is a familiar sight to many, and along with the Chocobo, serves as a mascot of sorts for the franchise. But the busted-looking Moogle we got in the recently released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been rejected by a particular segment of the community, who are convinced the gritty redesign looks more like Matthew McConaughey playing a drug mule named Miguel than a fantastical portmanteau of mole and bat.
