''Twitch Plays Pokémon Sweet'' is one of the side-games played during ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonArena Arena]]'' intermissions, using the "full democracy" system in which players get to vote on a single input in-between every ''Arena'' match. The game featured, ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSweetVersion Pokémon Sweet]]'', is a hack of ''VideoGame/PokemonFireRed'' taking place in a "dessertified" Kanto, in which Pokémon have been replaced with [=PokéSweets=], such as Squirpie, Meowffin, or Mintanyte. It also features an alternate type chart as a result, composed of [[BizarroElements 12 pastry-related types]] : Vanilla, Cherry, Strawberry, Apple, Orange, Banana, Lemon, Lime, Blueberry, Grape, Raspberry, and Chocolate.
''Pokémon Sweet'' began on May 4th, 2018, replacing the previous sidegame ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBootlegGreen Bootleg Green]]'', and kept running for the remainder of Season 5 (aside from a two-week long [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween-special]] intermission, during which the featured sidegame was the {{creepypasta}}-based ''Hypno's Lullaby'' instead). It came to an end on February 10th, 2019, right before the start of Season 6, and was then replaced by the [=SpaceWorld=] 1997 Demo of ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver''.
As a side-note, the game's sequel, ''Pokémon Sweet 2th'', was originally considered for a main Season 5 run, but those plans were scrapped due to the hack not being stable enough.
See [[http://thatswhatyouget.github.io/tpp-progress/run-status.html?run=Sweet here]] for the archived status of the run, and [[https://twitchplaysleaderboard.info/sidegame/sweet/ here]] for archived progress of the game in screenshot form.

!!''Twitch Plays Pokémon Sweet'' contains examples of:
* AerithAndBob: This run has un-nicknamed Pokémon like Piestoise and Bananaby, more elaborate names such as "Gateau", the usual vulgar and/or meme-based names among which "VORE", "ARS" and "YOU", ... and then there's Airblim, whose name is just [[TheUnpronounceable a lone double quotation mark]].
* AscendedMeme: The topic of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorarephilia vorarephilia]], or "vore" for short, has been a recurring subject of jokes among viewers of ''TPP'', which expectedly became even more numerous when playing a game about [[AnthropomorphicFood literally edible Pokémon]][[note]]According to chat logs, the term "vore" had been mentioned about 1330 times before the run began. By the time it finished, that number had jumped to about 2450 occurrences.[[/note]]. As a result, "VORE" became the name of the Cottonbun that hatched from the Egg received at the end of the game.
* {{Ascended to Ca|rnivorism}}ndyvorism: The Cottonbun that hatched from the Egg obtained at the end of the game was named "VORE" ; because of this, most of the lore around it tends to depict it as having a [[{{Pun}} sweet tooth]] for its fellow [=PokéSweets=].
* BilingualBonus: Meowffin, who later evolved into Cupcat, was named "Gateau", which is French for "cake" and is used in English to refer to an elaborate luxury dessert, and doubles as a {{pun}} on the word "gato" which is pronounced the same and is Spanish for "cat".
* CurseCutShort: The chat intended to enter "[[ToiletHumour ARSE]]" as the name of their newly-caught Reginger, but one user put bribed for a start input early, resulting in the incomplete "ARS" as its final name.
* GameBreakingBug: An update to the ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonArena PBR]]'' system ended up causing ''massive'' performance drops during side-game inputs, with the game slowing down and stuttering considerably. It got to the point where the command to hide the side-game wouldn't even get through, leading to it staying visible on screen during ''PBR'' matches, and it had to be taken down temporarily as a result.
* {{Irony}}: On May 16th, the automated screenshots of the game were temporarily malfunctioning, causing all of them to appear pitch black. The first screenshot to be recorded in the archive after this was fixed? [[https://i.tppl.tv/pbr/sidegame/psweet/1526518856.png The blackout screen.]]
* {{Pun}}: Paula's Meowffin, the Vanilla-type [=PokéSweet=] equivalent of Meowth which later evolved into Cupcat, was named "Gateau", which designates a luxury cake and is pronounced like "Gato", the Spanish word for "cat".
* SneakySpider: PlayedWith. Spinacake is an absolutely adorable pastry-shaped Spinarak ; however, the screenshot archive started malfunctioning and displaying pitch black images right after encountering one, leading a few users to theorize that its venom might have caused a form of TemporaryBlindness to Paula.
* TakeThatAudience: Smorelax, the [=PokéSweet=] equivalent of [[FatSlob Snorlax]], was nicknamed "YOU". May double as a form of SelfDeprecation, since this was basically viewers making fun of viewers.
