Players of Café Remix might have noticed something extra and gleaming intermittently within the past few weeks while playing certain orders (puzzle stages). That something extra is part of a new framework for events, called Cook and Collect. It was introduced with the Pokémon anniversary update and looks set to be the precursor for certain events with remarkable Pokémon - albeit there being only one at this moment due to the feature's infancy, but it's still a remarkable one nonetheless.
When a Cook and Collect event is active, while playing those orders or stages, every so often, event items will drop into the play field. As with obstacles, clearing chains of Pokémon next to them will allow the items to be collected, and upon completion of the stage (which is necessary), the items are earned and added to the collection, which gives out certain rewards as more are collected. A limited number of the items may be earned in a day, and only certain orders or stages will have the item drop. Once an event ends, the event items will disappear, except for a certain event for which the items are persistent and is in fact currently the only incarnation of the event.
That would be the Gimmighoul event, and like other games where it is featured, the player earns coins for said Pokémon. When enough coins are collected, its evolutionary next of kin Gholdengo is sure to follow... but that won't be for a bit for many players. Luckily, the event recurs, and the coins can also be collected through other event means as well, so players may be able to proceed through this at their own paces, but still with significant effort. The rest of the rewards for this event comprise Milestone Cookies and Golden Acorns, which are typical but still befitting the nature of the Pokémon in the species family.
As for other incarnations of this event, they have yet to be realized as per the above, but when they are realized, they will likely be concurrent, as the main screen of the event visibly allows space for more than one event indicator. Whether they are of new or returning Pokémon and/or their outfits, that remains to be seen, and their durations may have to be significant as well, given that the only currently available incarnation as above has a bit of a slow progress to it. But then again, it may be possible to have ones with accelerated progress and therefore accelerated duration. Everything is still up in the air for this event, it seems.
Yet the event, being remarkable as it is with its first featured Pokémon, has some promises in exchange for the typical efforts that players make in Café Remix. They may or may not be making pie (hint: today is that day), but they'll still make all the usual food and drink that are the specialties of the cafe, while also collecting items that will be of interest for particular Pokémon before possibly inviting them to the cafe and making all the cooking more lively.
