Are you a fan of food-based Pokemon like Vanilish? Well, while we don’t know what exactly Pokemon Sword/Shield will have in store – it probably won’t feature one of the UK’s most prolific dishes running around in tall grass.

In a recent interview with Nintendo Life, the game’s producer Junchi Masuda touched on the bizarre topic of a possible ‘fish-and-chips’ Pokemon. Humorously enough, he gets straight to the point and states that he can’t (or hasn’t) figured out how to create such a creature – despite enjoying the dish.

Check out Masuda’s full comment below.

Q: […] why hasn’t a fish & chips-themed Pokémon been announced already?

Masuda-san: I really like fish and chips, and I’ve eaten a lot of it, to the point that I’ve discovered that the flavour wildly varies between different shops. As for making fish and chips into a Pokémon, it’s fish and it’s chips, and I can’t really think of a great way to combine the two into a single creature.

What about you? How would you design a fish and chips Pokemon? Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas below!
