If you’ve been keeping tabs on Pokémon Sword and Shield, you’ve probably heard about Pokémon Camp.
Pokémon Camp is a fairly typical minigame for the series, where you can interact with the Pokémon in your party, hang out, and maybe whip up a little meal without having to actually battle with them. The concept’s nothing new – Pokémon games almost always feature some kind of non-combat minigame for you and your Poké-pals – and they’re often a little strange, in one way or another, from the odd decorations of Pokémon Amie to chasing herds of Diglett around a pen in Pokémon Let’s Go.
What makes Pokémon Camp strange, though – especially strange – is what you actually do when you go camping. You cook a curry. You cook a curry and then you put sausages in it. And then your Pokémon eat the sausage curry for some special effects.
