Players enjoyingPokemon Scarlet and Violethave been using their time to gather ingredients for use in sandwich-making for some time now, but one player has taken their experiments with this new future too far after combining ingredients such as whipped cream and mayonnaise with 18 chorizo sausages and somehow stuffing it all in one sandwich. The new picnic mechanic introduced inPokemon Scarlet and Violetprovides players a fun new way to interact with their Pokemon, as well as take advantage of different benefits that can be acquired from making sandwiches.
As most fans of the new generation ofPokemongames will know, the games' new picnic feature allows fans to make their own sandwiches by hand which can provide bonuses such as improved Pokemon catch rates, extra experience rewards, and even boosts to shiny encounter rates. Players can gather ingredients both common and rare across the expansive Paldea region, and can mix them together in different ways to make a surprisingly long list of sandwich combinations. These sandwiches, pointed outby somePokemonfans to be reminiscent of a type of real-world Spanish sandwich, are loved by Pokemon and can help Trainers grow closer to them by feeding them such snacks.

That is, if players don’t feed them a questionable sandwich such as the one made by SurrealKeenan on Reddit. The fan ofScarlet and Violetshared a hilarious clip showing off a gruesome sandwich that they recently made, consisting primarily of mayonnaise, sausages, and whipped cream of all things. As might be expected, this strange combination of flavors yielded only one star of quality afterthe player character and his Pokemon shared the sandwich. Many fans commenting on the post were surprised that a sandwich could be “failed,” with many reacting with some fitting, sandwich-related Gordon Ramsay quotes as a result.
Sandwich-making inPokemon Scarlet and Violethas been received differentlyby players as a feature, with many arguing that the finicky controls and bouncy ingredients make the process needlessly challenging, while also rendering hard-earned ingredients a waste if the process isn’t done well. On the flip side though, many other players are happy that this new feature can make shiny hunting a lot easier, although many shiny hunters contest that it detracts too much of the challenge.
Although another upcoming patch for the games was recently announced,Pokemon Scarlet and Violethave found themselves the subjects of both criticismand praise since they launched last year in November. The infamous plethora of bugs have made for tons of clips that have been shared across social media, though the underwhelming graphical quality and performance problems seen by players are perhaps the better-known issues among gamers. Although many players don’t expect these technical flaws to ever be truly fixed, lots of fans have found themselves enjoying these new titles nonetheless thanks to the interesting open world and brand-new gameplay features.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetare available on Nintendo Switch.
