f<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/figure>\n Today\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon Direct brought us a slew of Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet<\/em> news, and of course within that were glimpses of some freshly revealed Generation IX monsters. The stand-out being the inexplicable Fidough, a cute little puppy that\u2019s seemingly…uncooked bread?<\/p>\n So what do we know about this carb-based lifeform? We know they\u2019re from the Paldea region, that they\u2019re Fairy type, and perhaps most of all, we can be sure they\u2019re a very good boy.<\/p>\n Except. \u201cFidough\u2019s moist, smooth skin has elastic qualities and is both firm and soft at the same time,\u201d begins the chill-inducing description in Nintendo\u2019s official press release. No. No no, not \u201cmoist,\u201d never \u201cmoist.\u201d <\/p>\n Today\u2019s presentation described it as, \u201cdelightfully squishy Pok\u00e9mon that are smooth to the touch.\u201d There\u2019s nothing I like about that sentence either. They sound like those Squishies toys that were a short-lived rage a few years back. Are they scented, too? Can you squish them all up tiny and they re-expand? Or would that knock all the air out of a Fidough, and you\u2019d have to leave it to prove for another hour and a half?<\/p>\n G\/O Media may get a commission<\/p>\n 20% Off<\/p>\n Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Gaming!<\/strong> The press release continues (and I warn you, it does not<\/em> get better), \u201cWhen these Pok\u00e9mon become excited, they intimidate their opponents by puffing up their bodies to appear bigger. Fidough ferments things in its vicinity using the yeast in its breath. The yeast is useful for cooking, so this Pok\u00e9mon has been protected by people since long ago.\u201d<\/p>\n What the actual. It just ferments stuff? Because of…because of the yeast…in its breath? That\u2019s…that\u2019s thrush. This puppy has thrush.<\/p>\n Look, I can\u2019t pretend to be OK with edible-looking Pok\u00e9mon. Last time we ended up with the delicious-looking LeChonk<\/span>, a pig-like \u2018mon that would go well in…well, it would go well in a freshly baked Fidough, right? Hot-diggity-dog.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/figure>\n It\u2019s only been a little over an hour after the latest trailer, but already the pup is proving to be a hit with fan artists who are excited about Fidough. Perhaps they don\u2019t know about the yeast?<\/p>\n![\"Fidough,](\"https:\/\/i.kinja-img.com\/gawker-media\/image\/upload\/c_fill,f_auto,fl_progressive,g_center,h_80,pg_1,q_80,w_80\/e80664f5bbb8c2a6fca816b7ddc72703.jpg)
