Our players asked, so we're delivering: Apartment Customization and Cooking System (replaces bottlecaps for IV maxing)



One piece of consistent feedback that we've received from [Pokemon Skyquake](https://eeveeexpo.com/threads/8337/) players is that they want more customization options. We still have plans for more character customization in the pipeline, but we've been able to implement an Apartment Customization and Cooking system in which the player can:

* Purchase their own apartment in select cities throughout the region * Change the interior decorating based on a set of styles that they can collect by visiting new cities * Collect decorations by through gameplay achievements and quest objectives that they can display in their apartment * Get gameplay bonuses depending on which property the player has chosed to purchase their unit in (slightly higher shiny rate for owning an apartment in one city, slightly higher base catch rate for owning in another) * Unlock the cooking system, which allows the player to farm ingredients by catching Pokemon, harvesting berries, and cooking them in their apartment. * Discover different flavor pairings that combine for stronger meals that raise a Pokemon's base IVs. * Each apartment style has its own custom button colors in the cooking UI that match the interior design of the apartment style. * A cooking tutorial that guides the player through the basics of cooking, delivered by the master chef and 2nd Gym Leader, Basil.
