FoodCare Group ... because we care

Saturday, 15 October, 2016 Food From Poland 26/2016
Since the beginning of the company when it mainly offered dessert products, some time has passed. How has the company developed since then? What does your current portfolio look like?

FoodCare’s history began more than three decades ago with the production of desserts under the brand name Gellwe. Thanks to the traditional recipe used, these products have gained a permanent group of loyal consumers, Gellwe has expanded its portfolio of products to include, among others, cake mix, baking additives and condiments as well as other loose products. Thanks to the dynamic development of FoodCare over the years, the company has started its activity in the segment category of energy drinks (BLACK Energy Drink, N-GINE) ISOTONICS (4MOVE), juice (the reactivation of the FRUGO brand). In a short period of time, these brands have achieved a strong position on the market. Frugo drinks, almost a year after returning to the store shelves, trampled the results of the current leader, and at the moment the brand BLACK Energy Drink is the market leader in the energy drinks sector in Poland. In 2007 the company successfully entered the cereals market with the muesli brand Fitella, packed in small disposable packaging. With its innovative concept and interesting strategy developed in just an annual presence on the market, it has become the market leader with regard to the number of packages sold.

BLACK is the leader in the energy industry in Poland. What is its position on foreign markets, is it also so highly valued by foreign consumers? Which other brands have gained a lot of interest outside the country?

Last year, the sales of BLACK in Poland increased by 22%, achieving the largest increase among the leading brands. Proof that we listen carefully to consumers and that we are moving in the right direction, is the reason that Poles most often choose BLACK Energy Drink. BLACK Energy Drink is available in almost 60 countries, and in some of these countries the growth is so dynamic that we are conducting extensive marketing campaigns with Mike Tyson. The numbers point to the fact that this is a growing market and that the BLACK brand is strengthening its position each year on foreign markets. We are constantly looking for new export markets, this autumn we are planning to introduce the brand to the German, Russian and Chinese markets.

The prevailing trend for an active, healthy lifestyle, certainly benefits the energy and isotonic category of drinks and creates good prospects for the future. In connection with this trend the brand 4Move is very popular among consumers outside the country. The strategy for this brand is based on recommendation from the best coaches in the world. Recently, one of the most famous coaches in the world – Jose Mourinho endorsed the 4Move drinks with his image.

Which countries are strategic for the FoodCare Company? Do you plan to expand into new foreign markets?

As mentioned above, BLACK Energy Drink is available in almost 60 countries. Our goal is for the Polish brand to conquer the world. We are growing successfully on all the continents, year by year we expand our distribution.

How important is export for the company and what part of the sales revenue is allocated to it? Is a further increase in exports projected?

Export is very important for the company, that is why our brands are promoted by international celebrities worldwide. Compared to other Polish companies, what distinguishes us is that from the beginning we have been thinking of global sales. Our ambition has always been to create international brands. FoodCare results show that this objective is being effectively implemented and, of course, we make every effort to ensure that our brands are being developed well beyond the country’s borders.

How will further development of the FoodCare company be supported? Innovation, portfolio expansion or perhaps a new strategy? What is the key to success of the FoodCare company?

Our goal for the next 10 years is to create FoodCare into a global concern. We stand out, because from the beginning we have been thinking of global sales. New investments are a step towards higher levels of product quality and an expansion of the company’s product portfolio. We are focusing on developing and investing in the brands and products that we believe are the strongest, like BLACK, Frugo, Gellwe, 4Move or Fitella. The development of both existing and new products increases not only our competitiveness in the market, but above all allows to meet the growing expectations of customers in all the markets with which we operate.

Thank you.

Chameleon Junction

What a treat to be invited to an evening at Chameleon Junction. Opening for breakfast and lunch last year, and now adding dinner across 7 days with opening until 11pm, this classy joint is set to shake up the South.

We were given generous tasting serves of a selection of menu items with matched wines, and loved them all.

The opener, Sardine with Pickled Veg on Crostini was light and fresh, with just the right amount of saltiness for the matched Printhe Riesling.

Then an oozy Mac n Cheese Croquette on Hollandaise with a taster of their nicely spicy house Bacon Jam was as delicious as it sounds. This was perfectly matched with a delicate Italian Pinot Grigio. Last from the “Smaller” plates was an authentically Middle Eastern flavoured Lamb Kofta, served with a beautiful citrus Cous Cous, an interesting mix of small and pearl grains, and a swirl of Raita. This dish was matched with an Italian Rosé. Wow, very impressed so far with the quality and variety.

Next we were treated to a couple of taster serves from the “Bigger” menu items. Normally shying away from vegetarian meals, I found the Sesame Soba Noodles with Greens and Fried Tofu sensational. It was savoury and complex, as was the Helen’s Hill Arneis that accompanied it. I heard myself say I’d order that as a main next time.

But then came the new fave, the BBQ Beef Rib, with Potato Salad and Corn Salsa, alongside an Italian Sangiovese. Oh my! Perfectly slow cooked beef with no annoying bone, gristle or fat, drizzled with BBQ sauce, just melted in the mouth. The vibrant flavours in each element of this dish had me convinced everything had been lovingly created from scratch.

Feeling rather full now as we moved onto sweeter things. The first was their Black Porridge, a mix of grains, coconut, nut granola, topped with some caramelised banana and coconut yoghurt. Served warm, this comforter should be a go-to guilt free brekkie for the colder months. Mind you, our match this evening wasn’t coffee but Frangelico and lime on ice!

Finally, a visual as well as tasty delight in the form of Panna Cotta topped with Raspberry Jam, with a dash of White Chocolate Sauce and a shard of home made short biscuit, along with a Tim Adams Botrytis Reisling. The Panna Cotta may not be on the menu proper yet but it should be; I’ve heard it’s easy to make but often the texture is not so appealing. This is the best I’ve tasted.

Warm welcomes on arrival and smiles throughout from host Harriet and the rest of the team. Head chef, Tinka, visible in the semi open kitchen, lets the food do the talking. Chameleon Junction’s atmosphere is relaxed and inviting but also polished and professional, a very welcome addition for those of us located south of the river. And being directly across the road from Moorabbin Station means anyone can join in and there’s no need to drive. A glimpse of the menu proper reveals reasonable prices for both food and drinks and the icing on the cake is their commitment to environmental responsibility; from their use of eco friendly products to sustainable ingredients. We love profit with purpose and hope this venue thrives.

Saboten Tonkatsu (勝博殿)

My brother and I don't get to hang out very often anymore. No longer are the days of playing Pokémon together on linked Gameboys or waiting under "our tree" for our mom to pick us up after school. I'm at college. He's at home, about to leave for college. Once that happens, I have a feeling I'll see him even less.

So when the opportunity came up for us to have a day together, just the two of us in Taiwan, I knew it was a rare occasion that should be treasured. My parents said we'd have to "fend for" ourselves for a day but I said we were going to "enjoy" ourselves. Granted, I already had a personal agenda for the day, namely one that involved a museum, but I also wanted him to enjoy being with me. I wanted to make him enjoy being with me and say to himself, "Hey, a day with my sister ain't so bad..."

Lunchtime came around and I was starving. I asked my brother if he was hungry.
"Not really."

"Where do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Don't care. "

Obviously he doesn't share my enthusiasm for food. It's okay. I love food enough for the both of us. I remembered that he used to LOVE tonkatsu when we were younger. I used to dread it--oily, dry, over-sauced fried piece of pork was not my thing. This was before the transformation of my never-hungry stomach to the bottomless pit it is today. This was also before the establishment of Saboten Tonkatsu in Taipei.

Nowadays, I love getting tonkatsu from Saboten. I crave tonkatsu from Saboten. I wouldn't even consider getting tonkatsu anywhere else in Taiwan. It is one of my guilty pleasures. After all, a fried piece of pork cutlet, no matter how perfectly golden brown and crispy, is still not good for you, but Saboten makes it worth it. I figured this was the perfect place to have lunch with my brother. It was.

It turned out the boy was actually pretty hungry. After we placed our orders he declared he was starving. Wasn't he not hungry JUST 10 minutes ago? Anticipating the food was making him hungry he said. Apparently he wasn't just hungry, he was ravenous--he downed a large size piece of pork cutlet, an entire boat of curry, so many refills of shredded cabbage I lost count (which by the way is probably more than the amount of vegetables my meat-loving brother consumes in an entire year), two large bowls of rice, and MY unfinished bowl of rice--down to the last grain. That boy can eat when he wants to.

Saboten Tonkatsu (勝博殿)
Mitsukoshi, XinYi, A9, 6th floor
No.9, Song Shou Road
Taipei, Taiwan
tel: 02-2725-5829

No. 2, Alley 290, Guang Fu South Road
Taipei, Taiwan
tel: 02-2771-7668

Saboten Tonkatsu originated in Japan's Shinjuku district 43 years ago. Today, it is the largest tonkatsu chain in Japan. All the set meals include all you can eat cabbage (to be enjoyed with a ponzu like vinaigrette or sesame tonkatsu sauce), complimentary starters such as sweetened Japanese black beans, pickled daikon, miso soup, a steaming bowl of rice, and ending with dessert.

There are multiple locations in Taiwan, but there are two that I frequent in Taipei. One is located inside the ShinKong Mitsukoshi XinYi A9 department store on the 6th floor. Although convenient for those who are tired from strenuous all-day shopping (such as myself), it can get incredibly crowded during meal times, with wait times averaging 30 minutes. My favorite location is one tucked away behind the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall on Guang Fu S Road. It tends to be a little less crowded, lending to a calmer, more tranquil dining environment.

I find the price range very reasonable--the price for a set menu varies depending on the cut of meant and size of the cut. For a leaner cut of pork(I don't know the name of the cut in English...maybe the loin?) prices range from 280NT-320NT (about $8-$10). For a fattier cut (one that I actually prefer) prices range from 280NT-350NT. Of course there are other menu options, such as fried shrimp or vegetables, but I can't help but always order that lovely portion of delicious pork.

I love the selection of condiments available--a wooden container of Japanese chili, Himalayan salt grinder, ponzu-like vinaigrette dressing, and the best tonkatsu sauce in the world. There really is no other sauce like it. I would describe it as "umami" but to be honest, I don't really think there is a set definition for the word. Slightly sweet, slightly tangy, the sauce is held in a large ceramic jar with a wooden ladle.

Food that is interactive always tastes better. At Saboten, one must work for the delectable sauce. Every place setting includes a mortar and pestle filled with black and white sesame seeds. Grinding the sesame into a fine powder is one of Kevin's best skills--look at him working away! Add in the previously mentioned tonkatsu sauce, and you have a delicious concoction ready for crisp, juicy pieces of fried pork.

The bottomless bowl of finely shredded cabbage is indispensible in enjoying tonkatsu. Any restaurant serving tonkatsu would have this snowy mound of cabbage. However, texture is everything. It must be THIS finely shredded. Any thicker, and the experience will not be enjoyable. Sadly, this is a mistake that many tonkatsu restaurants make. Not at Saboten though! It's shredded to such a delicate thinness that it's perfect for soaking up some of that ponzu vinaigrette.

The complimentary black beans and pickles daikon are great to snack on while waiting for your meal to arrive, but once it does, they're quickly forgotten...

...and the meal arrives. Every portion of pork cutlet is fried to a golden crisp. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it doesn't get any better than this. It's so expertly fried, with no visible grease disturbing the crunchy panko breading.

And something MUST be said about the rice served at Saboten. It's absolutely delicious! It's just rice, you say. It's not JUST rice. Every grain of short-grain rice here at Saboten is perfectly chewy and "Q." Most importantly, you can taste the flavor of rice. It's not just some plain stomach filling carbohydrate. It actually has flavor and aroma. Of course, we always end up messing up the pristine bowl of white rice with some Japanese curry, but that's because the curry here is also pretty tasty. Call me crazy, but it's the best rice I've ever had.

Finally, dessert is usually some green tea ice cream. I wish it was good ice cream so that I could continue gushing about how delicious Saboten is, but sadly, it's just ice cream and it's not that spectacular.

So although it's a meal involving a piece of fried pork, I'd say it's a relatively healthy meal ;) I mean, look at all that cabbage! In the end, though, Saboten is just so damn delicious, I usually don't need any kind of reasoning to indulge in a golden, deep-fried piece of tonkatsu. Needless to say, my brother and I both left full and satisfied!

After the meal, my brother and I visited the National Palace Museum in Taipei. While the exhibits were enjoyable--especially the piece of jade that looks like a head of napa cabbage--the crowds were not. The whole museum was literally overrun by tourists groups from China. Let's just say they were all a little pushy. However, a Chinese couple was kind enough to take this lovely picture of me and my brother :)

**This is a review of my last visit this past spring. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to dine at Saboten this time around before I got a wisdom tooth out. I'm desperately hoping I'll be able to eat normally enough to handle some tonkatsu before I leave Taiwan. Right now, the thought of eating those crispy, juicy pieces of pork seems impossible :(

  1. Aww, I like this post. I have a little brother, too. I love him so much!

    I can't believe you have to grind that stuff yourself! I'd ask my brother to grind it for both of us. :)

  2. @weezermonkey: haha I forgot to mention it, but that's usually what happens anyways. my brother offers to grind mine because for some reason he thinks it's fun...

  3. I'm with you tonkotsu never really did much for me but from your pictures that looks pretty damn tasty.

    Hope you feel better soon. It would be a crime not to partake of Taiwan's culinary delights on your trip.

  4. quite unique experience, have to grind sesame ourself~

  5. Instead of ice cream in the US, do Taiwanese dentists recommend shaved ice after wisdom teeth extraction? :)

    Photos are godlike; I'll have to remember this place on my next trip to Taiwan.

  6. @Epicuryan: not being able to eat is driving me crazy!

    @taufulou: one of the best parts of the experience ;)

    @Protocol Snow: my dentist still recommended ice cream, but I did have some shaved ice :)

  7. Who said fried pork isn't good for you? It's good for the soul :)

  8. Oh my gosh, all this food looks delicious!! Are you able to recommend any nice restaurants (and perhaps a little fancy) in Taipei?

    following you x

  9. Japanese food in Taiwan operates at such a different level than in the US (in general). Great writeup!

  10. Just returned from Taipei and posted this to my Facebook page, where friends often inquire as to where to go in Taipei. Saboten is great. Keep up the good work. LMa (UCLA '95)

  11. Great post, I just visited a Japanese location and loved it. I copy and pasted the Chinese text for my blog, thanks!

Creme Brulee

Hey guys!

I know that I am early on this Valentine's Day thing but I know some of you like to plan.  I will be alone on Valentine's Day this year.  So nothing to really plan. (gimme some awwwwwww's)

In case some of you do not know what creme brulee is...  It is a custard dessert, made in individual servings and when it has baked and chilled, then brought out to room temp, it is topped with sugar (I prefer flavored or just plain white granulated) and using a torch you heat the sugar until it turns brown, not burns, and creates a shell on top.  It is hard and crispy, but not hard to eat because it is so thin.  It is heaven.  Pure heaven.  Well, if you ask me anyway.  This recipe is from my beloved Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.  It is really pretty much the going recipe however.

Regardless, this dessert makes an appearance every Valentine's Day.  I make it a few other random times of the year but always on Valentines Day.  It is a completely sexy dessert, you know you can just picture a commerical with someone eating a bit reeeaaaaaaaallllyyyy slooowwwww.  Yea it is that kind of dessert.  Creamy custardy (is that a word?), inside and a hard and crunchy sugar shell on top! YUM!!  This can really be flavored any way you want.  Vanilla is traditional, but how about orange zest, or rum, or Grand Marnier, coconut, amaretto......the options are endless, (I just don't recommend Mad Dog)

Here is what you will need:
4 ramekins (oven proof!)
1 3/4 cups heavy cream (can use half and half)
5 egg yolks lightly beaten
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar (reserve for the tops)

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.  In a small heavy saucepan heat cream over medium heat until just bubbly.  Remove from heat and set aside.

In a seperate bowl combine egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla and salt.  Whisk until just combined.  Slowly whisk hot liquid into mixture.  Divide into 4 ramekins (6 oz).  Place into a 9x13 baking dish and then fill the dish with boiling water until it comes up the ramekins half way.

Bake 30-40 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.  The centers will still be jiggly!! Remove from water bath and put them on a cooling rack until they come to room temp, then cover and chill for 1-8 hours.

Let stand at room temp for 20 minutes before serving.  Sprinkle sugar on top and using a small kitchen torch, heat the sugar until it turns brown.  DO NOT BURN it, just caramelize it! Let it cool and eat!

I hope you enjoy this as much as we do.  It is so easy to make at home, just do it!!!
Your "creme brulee is bringing sexy back"chefwannabe

  1. Creme Brulee is one of my all-time favorite desserts! I'd love to have you come and link up at Taste and Tell Thursdays!

  2. Heyla Chris! Just wanted to let you know I got your package and love my new measuring cups and spoons=)

    My husband keeps asking for creme brulee and I finally tried to make him some last weekend. I got it all together and realized something smelled funky...some of my eggs had gone bad! So gross! I'm going to try again this weekend, lol!

  3. Yum. I love creme brulee! I've only made it a few times over the years but it is the whole reason I have a handy kitchen torch! (well, as I mentioned in a blog post a while back, it also comes in handy for keeping wayward teens in line "Don't MESS with Mama!" - haha).
    And LOL "Mad Dog". You go on with your sexy self!
    Thanks for the post and laughs!

Goldman Sachs Group’s investment bankers are completing a takeover of their own firm.

Three of the most important roles now are going to be held by executives who rose through the dealmaking unit, overhauling the masthead of a firm that for years was Wall Street’s dominant trading powerhouse. The reversal, which began in the wake of the financial crisis, is complete with a changing of the guard at the very top.

Incoming Chief Executive Officer David Solomon named John Waldron on Thursday to be the firm’s next president and chief operating officer, the second-most-powerful position in the bank. In the process, Solomon abandoned Goldman Sachs’s long-cherished practice of letting top performers split such weighty roles. Another rising executive, consumer-banking chief Stephen Scherr, was tapped to become chief financial officer.

Waldron, who runs investment banking, will assume the new post on Oct. 1, the New York-based company said in a statement. Scherr, who initially rose through the same unit, will become finance chief in November.

And in a surprise move, Solomon dispatched Martin Chavez, the current CFO, back to the trading division, making him the third co-head of the bank’s largest unit by revenue. That leaves open the possibility for Chavez’s star to rise within the firm again, if he can help put the division back on a stronger footing, although many doubt it can ever regain its pre-crisis glory.

Lloyd Blankfein, who came up through fixed-income trading, is set to step down as CEO at the end of this month. His longtime deputy, veteran trader Gary Cohn, left Goldman (gs) in late 2016 for a more raucous stint at the White House. And some of the firm’s most-experienced trading leaders also have moved on.

Solomon had already tinkered with the trading group earlier in the summer, when he brought on another investment banker as a co-head alongside Ashok Varadhan, who just last year was looking to exit in search of other opportunities, people with knowledge of the matter said at the time.

“As the firm prepares for the next phase of growth, I am pleased that Marty will help lead our securities business as it continues to undergo rapid transformation,” Blankfein said in the statement. “I am confident that John and Stephen will represent a strong, effective management team under David’s leadership.”

Within the bank, Waldron was widely seen as the frontrunner to become president, a post often shared between two executives. He and Solomon are known to be close after climbing together through the investment-banking division.

The relationship between Waldron, 49, and Solomon, 56, took root when they worked together in the eat-what-you-kill world of Bear Stearns Cos. The two have bought properties on the same island in the Bahamas and at Silo Ridge, a private enclave set among the rolling hills of New York’s Hudson Valley.

While Solomon is known as a demanding boss, Waldron has crafted a softer image, with a less taxing approach as the head of Goldman’s most profitable unit. Those who know him describe him as a stereotypical investment banker — a good golfer, consummate salesman and an effective advocate.

Fox Patriarch

In the broader world of M&A, Waldron is known for the ties he’s forged with corporate leaders such as Rupert Murdoch. Recently, that’s meant advising the patriarch of the Fox empire on selling a key chunk of his business to Walt Disney Co. in a $71 billion transaction.

Scherr has led Goldman’s consumer and commercial banking division since last year. He previously served as chief strategy officer, leading a team that helps decide where the bank should pursue new lines of business or acquisitions of its own.

Some inside the firm had speculated that Waldron might become sole president, despite its traditions. Scherr was in charge of one of Goldman’s biggest efforts of recent years, expanding into mainstream banking — a departure from the bank’s core strength. But relations between him and Solomon have been strained at times, people with knowledge of the matter said. The new management structure preserves Scherr’s clout, just short of running operations companywide.

“We like the changes,” declared Credit Suisse Group AG analyst Susan Katzke. “They play to Goldman’s strengths and the executives’ strengths.”

Leah Remini slams Tom Cruise, Scientology in memoir

Leah Remini says she is still trying to adjust to life outside of Scientology

Leah Remini's upcoming memoir explains her decision to leave the Church of Scientology after realizing the organization was making her "lose touch with the real world," according to a new interview.

The "King of Queens" alum makes more damning claims about Scientology, as well as Tom Cruise, one of the church's most prominent members, in a sit-down with 20/20 that is scheduled to air Friday.

"As time goes on, you start to lose touch with the real world. The mindset becomes 'us against them,'" Remini tells "20/20" of her time in the church, which she joined along with her family as a young girl. "The decision to leave is you are giving up everything you have ever known and everything you have worked for your whole life."

Stars who have quit Scientology

Regarding Cruise, Remini says that criticism of the actor is not tolerated within Scientology. "Being critical of Tom Cruise is being critical of Scientology itself. You are evil," she says.

Watch a sneak peek of Remini's "20/20" interview here:

Remini's memoir, "Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology," will be released on Nov. 3. Her 20/20 interview airs Friday at 10/9c on ABC.

Disability Access and Inclusion Plan

Disability Access and Inclusion Plan cover

People with disability often experience difficulty accessing information, facilities and services. Research has also shown that access and inclusion barriers are not exclusive to people with disability, and can be attributed to factors such as:

  • living in rural or remote areas
  • low literacy levels
  • low socio-economic status
  • age, and
  • discrimination in relation to gender, race and culture.

The Forest Products Commission (FPC) is committed to delivering services to all people with disabilities, their families and carers. To facilitate this, the FPC has developed a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan.

The Plan is available upon request for those with special needs in alternative formats such as large print (hard copy), electronic format (disk or emailed), audio or Braille.

North Korea and thier nuclear weapons

There are many questions to be addressed about North Korea’s nuclear weapons programming. These questions can be why North Korea is not keeping its promise to disable Yongbyon; is the country trying to gain some time; or is North Korea going to be bigger issue in the near future for the six party nations if it does not discontinue its nuclear programming? It may be hard to find answers to all of these entire questions. However; one thing is clear, and that is, North Korea is taking its time and acting slowly to shut down its nuclear facilities. There could be a couple of reasons to be addressed as to why North Korea is not taking six- party talks seriously to stop its main nuclear facilities at Yongbyon and hand over complete details of its nuclear programmings.

The first reason that North Korea has not yet disabled its nuclear programming could be that since its intention to take advantage of the six-party nations` leniency. For one thing, last February, North Korea agreed to stop the nuclear programming by the Dec. 31, 2007. In return, six-party nations promised to supply fuel to the country (BBC, 2007). However, the deadline came and passed by and still has not disabled the nuclear facilities at Yongbyon. Another example of leniency is that last year, North Korea demanded South Korea to provide food in return shutting down the nuclear facilities (Smith, 2007). Even though, South Korea did sent food, North Korea did not keep its promise. Additionally, in the beginning of last year, the country was not willing to co-operate with the six-party nations unless it received $25m that was in a Macau bank which was frozen since the United States suspected North Korea had something to do with money laundering and counterfeiting. Once again, in six-party talks, they decided to give the country another chance to and transfer the funds. Even though of the reactor at Yongbyon was shut down in July 2007, it is still not disabled completely (BBC, 2007).

The second reason is that North Korea’s intention has never been to disable its atomic programming, but instead was trying to gain some time to finish the programming. The Six-Party nations started negotiations over North Korea's nuclear programming in late 2003. However, in late 2002, the nuclear stand-off began as soon as the United States accused the country has violated 1994 disarmament deal by enriching uranium without permission (CNN, 2007).Six party nations such as South Korea and the United States as well as Japan, are realizing that time is running out for North Korea, and it has to fulfill its promise to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula (Korea, 2008).

All these problems started with North Korea's plan to restart a plutonium based nuclear program at Yongbyon, North Korea's plan to build a new highly enriched uranium (HEU) nuclear program, and the tension that emerged between the United States and South Korea. Even though many problems were occurring, there were some positive things that were happening at the time. The United States began negotiating with North Korea and South Korea about establishing railroad links, demining portions of the demilitarized zone, allowing athletes to compete in the Asian games, and allowing abductees to visit Japan.

The problems started occurring when North Korea admits that they have been establishing a HEU program, ending any diplomatic progress. North Korea said that they would stop their program if we decided to make a pact with them. We denied this proposal because we did not want to reward them with bad behavior. In November, the United States declared that Korea broken the rules against the Agreed Framework. There have been various theories on why North Korea had developed this highly enriched uranium program. One of the theories is that they were afraid that the United States was going to attack them, the same way we attacked Iraq.(North Korea Profile) They figured that if we attacked Iraq, an isolated nation with a suspected nuclear program, then we could easily attack North Korea for the same reason. There also have been various reasons why North Korea revealed to us their HEU plan. One theory is that they wanted us to notice them. They did not want us to disengage and isolate from them.(Korea)

the beginning, our response to North Korea's HEU and plutonium programs was very hostile and involved condemning them. Eventually, we took little baby steps to ease the tension. We also agreed to talk to them, but limited the things we could talk about with them. At the very time all of this chaos is happening, our relationship with the South Korea is reaching an all time low.

I think there are many things that the United States has to do in order to resolve the problems that are occurring and to prevent more problems from happening in the future. The first thing that I think the United States should do is to treat them as nicely as possible, even if it means going against what we believe and letting them get away with bad behavior. In the long run it might be a bad thing to do because it could influence other nations to think that they can walk over us and take advantage of us. However, I think it would be the correct thing to do right now because the last thing anyone wants is a nation that is angry with you that holds nuclear weapons. If, however, North Korea refuses to accept our proposal for negotiations and does not agree with anything that we have to offer, I think the only other option is to attack them with full force. We have to sneak out any hidden places where they are making nuclear weapons and get rid of them. We have to let them know that we are not fooling around them and that we mean business. If we are destined to go to any kind of war with them, even nuclear, in the future, then it is best to attack them while they have limited nuclear weapons, rather waiting a couple before they have more artillery than we do. North Korea's highly enriched uranium nuclear program and our recent struggles with South Korea could result with terrible things to come. If we do not think of a plan to get rid of all their nuclear weapons, the world could be facing tough times in the near future. Dealing with North Korea is a must, and we need to do whatever we can to take care of the situation.

In a discussion with the United States and China in Beijing on April 24, 2003, North Korean officials admitted for the first time that they possessed nuclear weapons. North Korean officials claim to have reprocessed and reproduced spent fuel rods and have threatened to begin exporting nuclear materials, unless the United States agrees to one-on-one talks with North Korea. Tension between the United States and North Korea have been running pretty stiff and high since early October of 2002. Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly informed North Korean officials that the United States was aware that North Korea had a program that was allowing them to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons. Initially North Korea denied this, but later confirmed the veracity of the US claim.
In confirming that they had an active nuclear weapons program, they also declared the Agreed Framework agreement. The Agreed Framework signed by the United States and North Korea on October 21, 1994 in Geneva agreed that: North Korea would freeze its existing nuclear program and agree to enhanced International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards, Both sides would cooperate to replace the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (D.P.R.K.) graphite-moderated reactors for related facilities with light-water (LWR) power plants, Both countries would move toward full normalization of political and economic relations,Both sides will work together for peace and security on a nuclear-free Korean peninsula,and Both sides would work to strengthen the international nuclear non-proliferation regime. (Albright,O'Neil)

Bush has established its top priorities in foreign policy. He claims that an acts in the government to improve the international community through negotiation and cooperation. Likewise President Bush remark "It is to inspire and be inspired by other nations to work together toward a peaceful and prosperous future" (BBC News). Bush, as well as our society, feels the president should be strong- especially in international politics and policies. When the United States was attacked September 11, 2001, the people looked to the president to lead, and in essence, seek revenge. On both of these levels of domestic considerations, we will never know to exactly what extent they influence the president's choice of action, but they help us in understanding some of the foreign policy decisions. Going beyond the individual to the expectations of the position, the role consideration plays an influential domestic part in the response to an external event and ultimately foreign policymaking. President Bush's most important goals currently are internationalism, national security, limiting weapons of mass destruction, and nationalism. Bush has encouraged democracy and democratic ideals in other countries. "American internationalism" (BBC news) is what our president call his foreign policy. American internationalism seeks to preserve liberty and to promote opportunity, human dignity, freedom, prosperity, and peace, both at home and abroad that's basically what bush American internationalism stand for. Bush, as well as our society, feels the president should be strong- especially in international politics and policies. Going beyond the individual to the expectations of the position, the role consideration plays an influential domestic part in the response to an external event and ultimately foreign policymaking. Furthermore to do this, Bush's administration has outlined some specific objectives. Allies are crucial to conduct foreign operations, so the Bush has joined several international organizations that allow it to serve at the forefront of international policy. Some of the more famous ones are the United Nations, which is the biggest organization and has many sub-level organizations, the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank Group (Directory of Economic, Commodity and Developmental Organizations). Knowing that United States is involved in these international organizations President Bush refuses to listen to UN and decided to attack Iraq (NY times). Today issues of terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, and Middle East peace are front runners in American foreign policy. These current issues facing the US, compiled with traditional objectives in international relations, dictate the current most important countries and actors to the United States.

The threat of weapons of mass destruction was enough to cause the United States to attack pre-emotively in Iraq. In the Middle east, as well as elsewhere, the threat of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons has increased exponentially. The government does not know which groups have them, what their capabilities are, or when the United States and its allies could be attacked by them. As technologies have increased and become more available, the need to know this information has become even more crucial in order to strategize and prepare. The United States must remain close to both its allies and enemies in order to avoid the possibility of being attacked at home or abroad. Furthermore Since September 11, 2001, the United States, with the help of its allies and partners, has dismantled the Taliban, denied Al-Qaida a safe haven in Afghanistan, and defeated Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. Many countries play a vital role with US assistance, especially regarding intelligence. Preventing terrorism on the homeland is a priority but also is prevention elsewhere. That is why consistent relations are maintained especially in the Middle East, but also elsewhere. One of President Bush's four objectives in the War with Iraq was the removal of weapons of mass destruction (Dunn). These weapons include chemical, biological, and nuclear capabilities. Many countries have, or will have nuclear capabilities, and the numbers will only increase. Not all of these countries are known but some of importance includes North Korea, Pakistan, India, Iran, and every other country with related technologies. All nuclear capable countries, both allies and otherwise, are vital to defense policy making of the United States.
Nationalism is very important to the people of United Stated and our dear President Bush uses this idea to persuade the people. Many symbols have been adopted as symbols of freedom, especially after the September 11 attacks. As a result of the rise of nationalism, ideology tends to decline, which means the United States gives ideology very little importance. Leaders such as the President Bush use example of symbol like the symbol of freedom as a symbol to persuade the citizens of the United States to agree with him. In a speech the President gave on the need for freedom in Cuba "Today, the struggle for freedom continues -- it hasn't ended -- in cities and towns of that beautiful island, in Castro's prisons, and in the heart of every Cuban patriot." (Dunn). A way nationalism is also seen in this country is in its war against terrorism. Ever since the September 11 attacks, almost all of the government's attention has been on the war against terrorism. This can be seen through a statement made by the President on July 24, 2003, "And this [September 11] was the merest glimpse of the violence terrorists are willing to inflict on this country. They desire to kill as many Americans as possible, with the most destructive weapons they can obtain. They target the innocent as a means of spreading chaos and fear, and to shake our national resolve."(Dunn) The use of terrorism as a symbol was a way to persuade the citizens of the United States that this war is justified.

National security has become a large focus for President Bush and Congress, as well as the international community. Following the tragic events on 9/11/01, the importance of allies and partners became even more important to Bush's administration. While the United States had not looked to act creatively in the past, "multilaterals" became crucial in order to determine how to thwart terrorism in the most effective way. When threat is put on U.S. homeland security and elsewhere, the United States defense policy can step in; however; defense policy can become costly due to fact of utilizing the military will result in more military spending in order to complete the mission. The U.S. national security strategy "is based on a distinctly American internationalism that reflects the union of our values and our national interests. The aim of this strategy is to help make the world not just safer but better" (US, 1). When dealing with matters of foreign policy, results in the makings of a defense policy, which is considered as a subset of foreign policy. Strong military capability is an essential means in dealing with foreign policy due to the fact that countries such as North Korea, China, and Russia all pose a potential threat to destroy using "weapons of mass destruction."(NY times) When threat is put on U.S. homeland security and elsewhere, the United States defense policy can step in; however; defense policy can become costly due to fact of utilizing the military will result in more military spending in order to complete the mission.

North Korea is possibly the least accessible, and "the most brutal and repressive country in the world." (Martin, 2006) Since its formation after World War II very little information has left the country. What has left are the defectors and the stories of horrible atrocities against humanity the government is bestowing upon its citizens. Classified as a democracy, it is just a mask hiding the Kim Dynasty's totalitarian ways. With its ideology of "Juche," they have relied as little as possible on outside help. They rule and produce on the inside, with only the close to communist China being its biggest factor for production of money. Human rights are completely unheard of, and reports of torture within its reform camps are common from those that flee and escape Kim's grip. Humanitarian aid is being pulled, and the country has started to show some of its nuclear power to the world. While these are just some of the issues at hand, North Korea's dignitaries show no sign that they have broken all human rights laws, and that the country is in a state of economic need. With North Korea finally being recognized for its harsh living conditions for its people and the human rights violations being brought upon them, more and more people are seeing what is actually happening. With this international relationships are teetering as North Korea removes any help the people may get from outside sources. The testing of North Korea's first bomb in 2006, there have been many moves to attempt to De-denuclearize the North. Yet still, talks are still being made to attempt to join North and South Korea and bring peace to the area.

The state, due to its Juche ideology, has had most humanitarian aid removed from the country lately. Even with humanitarian aid, the state is left with low supplies of food and power. Monthly wage of farmers decreased in 2005 when a ban on free markets was raised, where in some cases they did not make over $1 a month creating a giant surge for those to change jobs, creating a larger deficit in food. Clean water is in scarcity, as well as access to good health care and hospitals. Human rights infractions are constantly broken among its citizens, and there is nothing they can do to fight the power Kim holds in the top seat of the state. (North Korea Profile)

Since North Korea announced it had tested an atomic bomb underground in October 2006, several countries including China, South Korea, Russia, Japan and the United States have been in a constant state of discussion on what to do to the North. In an attempt to begin to make the state de-nuclear, agreements have come forth which have shut down Yongbyon nuclear reactor, which is a main source of North Korea's weapon plutonium. Kim also ordered other plants to shut down in exchange for a large stock pile of fuel oil. Several funds previously frozen in Macau of Mr. Kim's have also been unfrozen, but it is unlikely this may soften his actions and what his people suffer. (Background Note) "North Korea's nuclear weapon power makes it the most dangerous nuclear power in the world." Defectors from the country are also aware that Kim Jong-Il is stockpiling chemical weapons. So much so that he may have enough to decimate South Korea's population. (Martin)

Relations between Japan and North Korea are very stiff as well. North Korea had previously abducted several Japanese citizens, and Japan wants to know what has happened. Over 20 of it's citizens were taken. Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, vows not to normalize relations until they know what has happened of these people. George Bush has also vowed not to begin discussions until this has been figured out. North Korea says they know nothing of the abductions, and none of those listed missing had ever entered North Korea.(North Korea Profile)

In an article written by Adam Liptak called , “Is the Group Responsible for the Individual’s Crime?” he described the case of the Pakistani Army and the tribal elders near the Afghan border. In order to save their town, it was decided that the elder should “turn over 72 men wanted for sheltering AL Qaeda Members” (p17). This decision of is commonly used throughout the world, especially when it comes to military actions. This is what we call collective sanctions. A sanction by definition is a social control to enforce society’s standards. Thus, in order to maintain the orderly nation, collective sanctions are necessary.

People value group identity, so it is the group’s responsibility to parent the individual members. People are always in a part to a group because people lived a life that circles around what we called “group life”. People are always a member of a family, school, or a society. We people have learned that individual should share the responsibility of others in our groups because not only problems can be solved more easily, but also that we all share a responsibility to watch over the others. For example, in a Chinese family, constituted of brothers, the elder are punished for whatever that younger brother did wrong because it’s his responsibility to watch over the young ones and not allowing them to do wrong.. This is yet another example of collective sanctioning.

The use of collective sanctions is a good idea for a nation to proper function.
Liptak quotes that “Group members might be punished not because they are in an advantageous position to identify, monitor, and control responsible individuals, and can be motivated by threat of sanction to do so.” A prefect example would be the offer that President Bush made to the Afghanistan, where he said “the Taliban will hand over the terrorists, or they will share their fate.” This is the use of collective sanction. Since the Untied States of America can not find out the individual’s crime, and may have been unable to catch the terrorists, the terrorists may make another attack to other cities or countries. In older to avoid another attacking, the collective sanctions are necessary.

In addition, another case of collective sanction appeared when the world that Koreans are making some nuclear weapons. The United Nations are against North Korea government to make any type of nuclear weapons, and demanded North Korea to stop or the Nations such as Denmark, Belgium,Norway, Sweden,Iceland,Finland,France,Germany,and Spain will obstruct with their economy sources. The question is; will North Korea government stop making nuclear weapons under the threat of international sanctions? There is no doubt that the North Korea should stop the process, not only due to the threat of international sanctions, but also because the people in North Korea don’t want to become poor. They put pressure on their government to stop the process of making nuclear weapon, to maintain a stable economy. In this case, collective sanctions are necessary to maintain a peaceful world order.

Those who are opposed to group sanctions said that the application of group sanctions is unfair to the others who did not commit any crime. “Rich people can buy their way out of any punishments.” (p18). This is somewhat true; however, this decision showed a need for the collective sanctions. Collective sanctions are a good idea because people value group identity, and this forces the group to work together more tighten and thus making the sanctions a necessity thing for a properly function town. Since there are people who can but their way out of punishment with their wealth, collective sanctions will make someone else who are aware of what will happen to report the case, and thus punish those who deserve to be punished.

Liptak said, “If we recoil at the idea of collective responsibility, it is because we are afraid the village is out of the political mainstream. The government never says it’s going to do that in downtown Kabul, where the rich guys live.” Collective sanctions are practiced to those who are not acting properly, and are used to maintain the order of the nation. In the quote, it means the same thing. The government won’t do such thing to a place where the rich people lived because they know the rules and they will obey them. On the other hand, a place where no rules are followed, collective sanctions is the best way to commit to the obedience of the people of that place.

Another thing that further increased my reason that north Korea is a threat is a documentary that I rented from Blockbuster called “The Fog of War”. In the documentary, The Fog of War, Robert McNamara Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968 said, "Rationality will not save us." McNamara argues, "even though we failed, we did behave rationally." Meaning, they acted upon their best evidence and motives, rationally; however, in the end they failed to realize the truth of the matter. Basically, the reason we did not have nuclear war was out of sheer luck. Therefore, McNamara draws the conclusion that rationality had failed them, and therefore it will not save us in the future. Another point that this lesson implies is that classical nuclear deterrence does not work. Nuclear deterrence is based on the rationality of the players. Since rationality is deemed to be unreliable, it would imply that we are all doomed. The problem with this statement is that rationality has been the only thing that has saved us thus far. If rationality was unreliable then we would have been doomed from the start. However, the rationality of nations' leaders has proven to keep us away from a nuclear war. Even though McNamara claims that it was luck that had prevented them from a war, it was the rationality of a former U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union, Llewellyn "Tommy" Thompson, who advised President Kennedy not to attack Cuba. So, in fact, it is rationality that saves us. To further develop this theory we must look at the evolution of the US nuclear deterrent theories and what it is today in regards to new threats.

Currently, the US possesses unquestioned superiority over any potential opponents. However, ever since the 9/11 terrorists attacks up until the present, the US has felt threatened by new opponents, such as non-state based players and rouge nations. In order to protect US national security, the Bush administration has felt the need to pull out of the SALT 1 Treaty and build ABMs. As a result of such an aggressive move, the US has received much criticism. Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly warned against the US building of ABMs, claiming that a new arms race will begin if they continue. However, the Bush administration strongly believes that ABMs are necessary to protect them from missile launch attacks from "irrational" players,meaning rouge nations. With the rouge nations as a threat, it would seem that classic nuclear deterrent fails, since the US claims that the rouge nations' leaders are irrational and would attack the US. However, the likelihood of rouge nations attacking the US is highly unlikely. The rouge nations that appear as a threat to the US would be Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan, maybe Syria, and North Korea. The US fears that those nations could possibly launch ICBMs capable of hitting North America. However, according to top-secret U.S. National Intelligence Estimates found that "while many nations are potentially interested in long-ranged missiles, almost none have, or will ever have, the technology or funds to develop them, or to remotely threaten the United States." These rouge nations are rational players that realize the strength and credibility of the US, and what consequences they would safe if they were to attack. Therefore, classic nuclear deterrence is still applicable.

Terrorism seems to disclaim nuclear deterrence since rationality and communication does not apply. However, as stated earlier, it is difficult for rouge nations, including terrorists, to possess the credibility and capability to launch nuclear weapons. If weapons such as ICBMs are too expensive, than there is also the threat of terrorist groups possessing chemical or biological weapons. According to Michael Rebehn writing for Open Democracy, "it is now obvious that chemical and biological weapons have indeed become the ,poor man's nuclear bomb'; a cheap and portable option for those, like terrorists or ,rogue states', without access to expensive nuclear technology." If terrorists were to strike the US with a biological weapon, it would be difficult to react since terrorists are often non-state based players. The US might seemingly not use old deterrence theories with these new threats; however, the example of the US invasion in Afghanistan is a clear example of the US using classic nuclear deterrence. The US retaliated against the non-stated based terrorists in Afghanistan since the nation was held accountable for hosting the training camps of the Al-Quaeda.
Nuclear Deterrence is not dead. Even with new threats such as rouge nations and non-state based players. As Keith B. Payne writing for The Journal of International Security Affairs said, "The confidence in deterrence that typified the Cold War now is presumed to apply to post-Cold War rogue threats,as if the dramatic changes in opponent and context are irrelevant." It is obvious that the US has evolved the nuclear deterrence theories as well as added some modifications to keep the US as "the superior nation". The US today has the ability to protect themselves from nuclear missiles attacks (ABMs) as well as the ability to launch them (First Strike). By analyzing the US evolution of deterrence we can see that McNamara's lesson does not apply, even with new enemies. Rationality has and continues to remain our source of reliability and hope.

In an article "How to Stop Nuclear Terror",the author Allison Graham discusses that although President Bush has determined that terrorist nuclear attacks on the U.S. is the biggest threat facing the country in the future, his administration has not created a clear plan to prevent the issue. She uses a quote from the President to show that he thinks that the "highest priority is to keep terrorist from acquiring weapons of mass destruction." Graham goes on in her introduction to explain that the administrations inaction is a reflection on their inability to understand that nuclear terrorism is in fact preventable. She says that the problem should be combated at the root, which is the fissile material, because without that material, nuclear bombs can not be made. She then introduces her idea of the "Three No's": no loose nukes, no new nascent nukes, and no new nuclear states.

In the next section of her article, Graham presents a number that I found extremely startling and eye-opening. She says that "According to best estimates, the global nuclear inventory includes more than 30,000 nuclear weapons, and enough hue and plutonium for 240,000 more." Even more startling is the fact that, according to Graham, hundreds of these weapons are stored in areas where it is not that difficult for certain criminals to steal them and sell them to terrorist. She then gave examples of people who were apprehended trying to smuggle nuclear weapons or nuclear material. She also explained how easy it would be to smuggle nuclear weapons into the U.S.
Next, Graham discusses how Saddam-era Iraq is not even on the top ten countries most likely to provide nuclear weapons to possible terrorist. Graham believes that Russia would top the list because of their enormous supply of nuclear material. Pakistan would rank next because of its ties with Al-Qaeda. Next would be North Korea because they have already sold weapons to countries such as Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. She also explains that the Bush administration HAS taken steps to reduce the dangers of a nuclear attack by terrorist, however the number of actions they HAVE NOT taken is longer and more worth worrying over. Graham also discusses a point that I find extremely true and important. The Bush administration used the possibility of Saddam selling Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) to terrorist as an excuse and reason for the invasion of Iraq. After WMDs were not found, the Bush administrations credibility in regards to many things, namely WMDs has been severely damaged. Also in the almost year and half that the U.S. was trying to get the support of other countries, North Korea and Iran both developed their programs.

Graham says that preventing nuclear terrorism will require a plan that "denies access to weapons and materials at their source, detects them at borders, defends every route by which a weapon could be delivered, and addresses motives as well as means."
I also agree with her stance on this issues because there are many radical people in the world today who would use nuclear weapons in a heartbeat for a reason that is not even completely clear.

In conclusion, nevertheless, North Korea keeps promising to discontinue its nuclear programming; one thing is getting clearer that the country is taking advantage of six-party nations by receiving food, fuel supply, and funds. It seems like the country’s intention was never denuclearize itself. North Korea likes the attention that it is getting from six- party nations as well as its neighboring countries. In my opinion, North Korea always had the intention to be seen a threat to its surrounding countries. It seems like the country tries to own things forcefully. Therefore, it needs some kind of nuclear weapon to show Asian countries that North Korea is too strong to be mess with. Observing what went on for two years, I think, it is getting harder and harder to make North Korea stop its nuclear programming. Six-Party nations should take further action and be stricter on the country by showing North Korea that the game is over. The nuclear facilities at Yongbyon must be shut down immediately. I believe that it is true that both traditional and current foreign policy objectives determine current relationships between the United States and other countries and various international actors. Traditional objectives of international security and trade have always shaped relations in the international system. Today, issues of terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, and Middle East peace also help shape relationships with the US abroad. Current policy objectives shape US international relations. President Bush as "the chief decision maker", and an individual, influence foreign policy greatly, however it is also difficult to determine to what extent because he needs to be responsive to societal beliefs, values and opinions as to maintain support for reelection. In addition, as the most powerful state, the United States does not appear to be too concerned with systemic variables such as resources. As I stated Our President Bush clearly do defined foreign policy objectives and goals. President Bush has hundreds of foreign policy goals and objectives, its most important goals currently are internationalism, national security, and limiting weapons of mass destruction. "A divided government within Bush's administration" (Dunn) this mean that sometimes makes it difficult for them create clear strategies both domestically and internationally, but both groups are willing to compromise in order to deal effectively with any problems. That's how I view the Foreign policy that our dear President Bush have taking in considerations. As the largest superpower, the United States has been given the responsibility of leading the global community through its actions and words. That is, the opinions and values of the public (as well as interest groups that represent those beliefs) are often an important consideration in a democracy's foreign policy decision-making. I believe that if we don't stop North Korea they can and will use those nuclear weapons. It may not necessarily be on us but it won't be pretty no matter where they put it.

The Type 100 submachine gun in Call of Duty: WW2 is a versatile machine gun that is strong at medium and close range, although it is disadvantaged to some submachine guns at close range. It is accurate and has good range. Aiming down the sights of the Type 100 makes it easier to kill enemies due to the low fire rate which makes hip fire weaker. You will want to be close to enemies, preferably where they don’t expect you to be. You will also need to be able to reload quickly to dispatch enemies in quick succession. The quickdraw attachment to the Type 100 lets you aim down the sights faster, which means you can take advantage of the Type 100’s accuracy even when you are surprised by enemies.

To reduce the recoil whilst aiming down the sights use the grip attachment. The best division for the Type 100 is airborne as it lets you move faster and reload more quickly helping you get close to enemies. The best basic training is lookout which helps you spot enemies when they are further away. This helps especially when you aim down the sights of the Type 100. Use your favorite secondary in case you run out of ammo and use the smoke grenade to help you move through open areas. You can also throw the smoke grenade at entrenched enemies to make their position much less advantageous.

Here is the complete best class setup for the Type 100..

pokemon sun and moon post game

Someone asked for a summary of post-game content, so I did him one better, and took an hour or so to type out everything on my phone. I figured I’d post it here, because why not? Here goes:

UB Missions: You’ll get a special card near your house, go to the motel on Akala and Looker will guide you from there. Some really great Pokémon await, and the final reward is a new Legendary and 1 million pokédollars!

Zygarde Cell Hunting: If you’re not finished getting all 100, there are some handy guides on the Internet. Keep in mind some are only around during specific times of day.

Catch the Tapu(s): Each Ruin houses that island’s particular Tapu. All of them are pretty good, so have fun!

Completion Stamps: As well as beating the game, there are another 9 stamps for your Trainer Passport. These will be explained below.

Catch ’em All: Finish filling out your Pokédex and head to the Gamefreak office in Heahea City for a Shiny Charm. This triples the chance of shiny Pokémon appearing. Five of nine post-game stamps are obtained this way: one for each island and one for catching ’em all.

Find the Battle Tree: After beating the main story, an area of Poni Island will open up, leading to the Battle Tree! Beware, because a tough battle with a certain trainer from Kanto awaits when you enter.

Getting a 50 win streak in the different ‘Super’ modes at the Battle Tree will award you with one stamp, for a total of three. To get Super Challenges unlocked, simply get a 20 win streak in the mode of your choice, be it Singles, Doubles or Multi (if you do this one, play with a friend!).

This area also grants access to most evolutionary items, as well as many Mega Stones from Kalos!

Pokémon Snap Pokéfinder: to get the last stamp, you must embrace your inner white trash and photograph every Pokémon more than a paparazzi. Getting to Level 5 (max level) requires 100 000 1 MILLION likes total. Good luck, and enjoy the mind-deteriorating ‘gameplay’!

Finish Poképelago: Max out the upgrades for each area in Mohn’s poké-paradise. You get a lot of Rainbow Beans as a reward, as lame as it is. I recommend it just to have ridiculous numbers of berries, evolution stones and the occasional free Pokémon to wonder trade. Oh, and Lapras is exclusive to wandering on to your island.

QR Codes and Island Scan: Using the QR scanner feature, you can scan up to 10 codes, with one regenerating every two hours. Each gives ten points (or in some cases, 20) and getting 100 allows for an island scan. Depending on the day of the week and which island you scan on, a different Pokémon from outside of the Alola Dex will appear to catch in the wild. (Note: these Pokémon do not call for help, as they are not from Alola. Also, the scan feature can also be used to get shiny Pokémon registered in the dex for completionists).

Collect Missing Items: There are a slew of hidden items throughout the game. Notable are all 17 of Arceus’ plates, a couple evolutionary items, and all the remaining TMs (there are 100).

Return to the Pokémon League: As the first champion of Alola, you can’t fight yourself, right? Well, other people can fight you. There are more than 10 different possible challengers, from old Trial Captains to some close friends and even a mysterious Dragon-type trainer…

Explore Alola Fully: Many inaccessible areas around Poni island are now free to explore. Don’t forget to visit other areas you may have missed, like Seaward Cave!

Collect Z-Crystals: You might notice a few types are missing from your collection of cool and slightly useless single-target moves. As it happens, there’s more!

-You can find Flynium Z behind a Machamp rock in Ten-Carat Hill.

-Icium Z is near the exit to Mount Lanakila.

-Explore the desert to find Psychium Z! Not all is as it seems, and you’ll need a pattern.

-Eevium Z is obtainable from Kagetora in the Megamart on Royal Avenue, if you don’t mind a depressing side quest involving 7 Eeveelution trainers and the passage of time.

-Aloraichium Z is easy to get, if you have an Alolan Raichu. Take it to a lady in a hut on the right side of Seafolk Village on Poni Island.

Win the Battle Royal: After completing Master rank at the Royale Arena, you get a cool new style! As for what a style is, go talk to a balding dude name Gester. You can find him at the Recycling Plant north of Malie City.

Battle Ya Boi Kuzco Guzma: Go to Guzma’s house on Route 2 for a pretty cool battle.

Battle Faba: At the Aether Foundation, Faba will give you the Dubious Disc if you beat him in battle.

Battle Game Freak Morimoto: Beating this guy in the Game Freak office rewards you with the Oval Charm, which increases the egg find rate. Also, he will fight you again each day for extra EXP!

Get Porygon: The Aether House on route 15 (?) has two Aether employees. One gives a free Porygon, the other one gives an Upgrade.

Get Type-Null: Talk to Gladion at the Aether Foundation for a battle and a mythical Pokémon!

Get Cosmog: During the day in Moon or night in Sun, head to the Altar of your game to travel through a wormhole to a time-flipped game. Go to the Lake of your game for a Cosmog! There’s nothing else to do in this dimension, by the way.

Get Magearna: Scan a special QR code for a Legendary Pokémon, only after beating the game!

..now if you’re truly crazy (like me), then you can go for a Language Dex. This means getting every Pokémon.. in every language. Good luck!

If I missed anything, tell me and I’ll add it.
