An adorable video taken by a player inPokemon Scarlet and Violetshares the moment where the Trainer’s Toxtricity appears to hug them before promptly falling asleep on the spot. Trainers enjoying their journeys across the Paldea region inPokemon Scarlet and Violetare able to take advantage of many new features that allow them to become even closer with their beloved Pokemon than ever before, such as enjoying picnics and making sandwiches for them.
Many of the new features inPokemon Scarlet and Violetare actually reminiscent ofthose seen in the popularPokemon Legends: Arceus, which released at the beginning of the year. Though walking alongside your Pokemon, for example, is not a particularly new feature seen in the series of games,Pokemon Legends: Arceusintroduced a whole new level of depth to how you could interact with your Pokemon in the world and how they could help you with small tasks. Game Freak appear to be further developing the potential in this regard, asPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers have discovered lots of new ways of playing with their Pokemon since the games released in November, including the ability to somewhat communicate with Pokemon – even wild ones – by watching them react to player emotes.

The clip in question was shared on Reddit by the user Quanto-Ryo8, which featured a cute moment of the Trainer playing with what appears to be their own shiny Toxtricity. The clip starts out withthe player interacting with their Pokemonin the middle of a field, the trainer performing different movements such as sneaking presumably in an attempt to elicit a reaction from the Toxtricity. This seemed to have had an effect, as the Pokemon returned the gesture by performing their own emote which made it appear as though they were picking up their Trainer in a hug. To top it off, the Toxtricity then proceeded to simply fall asleep on the player’s feet.
The new picnic mechanic inPokemon Scarlet and Violetalso allows players to bond with their Pokemon in a new way, enabling players to hand make a variety of different sandwiches in thePokemonworld that are based on a real life Spanish snack. These sandwiches can be made with tons of different ingredients, with different configurations creating sandwiches that can provide plenty of useful boons to gameplay, with some even making it easier to find shiny Pokemon.
Despite the many new fun gameplay features for fans to enjoy, it’s no secret thatPokemon Scarlet and Violetare hindered by many technical issueswhich cause performance problems and glitches. These setbacks have comprised the majority of criticisms directed at the games since their launch, and have resulted inScarlet and Violetbecoming the most poorly-rated mainPokemontitles in the series' history.
