Random: Food Network Challenge’s Pokémon Cakes Episode Sure Was Something

<p>Pokémon seems to be doing the rounds in popular TV shows in the US at the moment, starring in <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/12/pokemon_was_a_category_on_jeopardy_this_week_can_you_get_all_of_the_answers">its very own episode of Jeopardy!</a> and now appearing on Food Network Challenge. As you might expect, this one has resulted in some excellent images that will never leave the internet. <em>Ever.</em></p>
<p>The show had its competitors attempting to create cakes based on the catchable characters we all know and love, but the now-iconic monsters weren’t always represented with 100% accuracy. If you happen to live in the US you can catch up on the show <a class="external" href="https://watch.foodnetwork.com/tv-shows/challenge/full-episodes/pokemon-cakes">here</a>, but for everyone else, here are some standout moments (with thanks to <a class="external" href="https://kotaku.com/the-pokemon-cakes-episode-of-food-network-challenge-is-1841001821">Kotaku</a> for the images).</p>
<p>We’ll kick things off with a good one: Sobble. The shape is mostly right, you can instantly tell what it is, and the creation even has Sobble’s signature sad face. Not a bad effort.</p>
<figure class="picture strip">
<div class="img"><a title="Sobble" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/29d378109b80c/sobble.original.jpg"><img class="lazy" src="http://static.nintendolife.com/blank.gif" data-original="http://images.nintendolife.com/29d378109b80c/sobble.original.png" alt="Sobble"></a><span class="image-credit" title="Image Credit">Food Network, via Kotaku</span></div>
</figure>
<p>Next up, a <em>different-looking</em> Litten. We’re not sure why it’s standing on two legs – as we imagine that’s why we feel strangely put off when looking at it – but there’s something about that body that’s giving us the heebie-jeebies.</p>
<figure class="picture strip">
<div class="img"><a title="Litten" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/6865b43230484/litten.original.jpg"><img class="lazy" src="http://static.nintendolife.com/blank.gif" data-original="http://images.nintendolife.com/6865b43230484/litten.original.png" alt="Litten"></a><span class="image-credit" title="Image Credit">Food Network, via Kotaku</span></div>
</figure>
<p>Next, the most creative of the bunch. Sure, the two-legged nature of thing is just as creepy as Litten before it, but look at that Water Gun. Excellent.</p>
<figure class="picture strip">
<div class="img"><a title="Chikorita" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/a0a28d3b9efa6/chikorita.original.jpg"><img class="lazy" src="http://static.nintendolife.com/blank.gif" data-original="http://images.nintendolife.com/a0a28d3b9efa6/chikorita.original.gif" alt="Chikorita"></a><span class="image-credit" title="Image Credit">Food Network, via Kotaku</span></div>
</figure>
<p>And finally, our pick of the bunch. Remember Chikorita? The cute little grass-type starter introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver? Well, forget it. Because we’ve no idea what this is.</p>
<figure class="picture strip">
<div class="img"><a title="Chikorita" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/11f4bba080880/chikorita.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/11f4bba080880/chikorita.original.jpg" alt="Chikorita"></a><span class="image-credit" title="Image Credit">Food Network, via Kotaku</span></div>
</figure>
<p>Sadly, the Chikorita wasn’t deemed good enough to make it through to the next round of the competition.</p>
<p>The show also featured a giant Squirtle, a leaf-dispensing Bulbasaur and a sparking Pikachu (seen above). <em>Television at its finest.</em></p>
