Malaysian here too. Myself and another friend are playing this game and doing it the hardcore way, though he is few levels beyond me in that sense. Funny that a player-made pokemon game can make us put so much effort compared to other main pokemon games where we can simply cruise through without caring a whim.
Well, as Malaysia is a multi-racial country, we boast a variety sorts of food, culture and festivals from different races.
Good to know we aren't the only Malaysians here.
