Pokemon picross solutions special
Using certain skills (or just bringing along a certain Pokemon) in the various puzzles rewards you with the game’s in-game currency, Picrites. Personally, with enough practice anyone can complete any size of Picross puzzle without having to resort to these hints, but I suppose they make the game easier for kids as well as people who aren’t looking for a challenge so much as a time-waster. For example, Treecko’s ability, Auto Fix, allows any mis-filled squares to be automatically corrected (thrice). Each Pokemon is assigned a special power - essentially, hints to make the puzzle easier - based on its type, which can be activated during the puzzle-solving process. So what does Pokemon Picross bring to the table for the relatively straightforward Picross? For one, each puzzle you complete reveals the cutely pixellated face of a Pokemon, and successfully finishing the puzzle means you capture it. It’s addicting and, as the grid increases in size, becomes extremely challenging. I ended up downloading versions of it on my smartphone, though nothing ever felt quite as satisfying as filling in every block with a stylus on my DS.įor newcomers to the game, Picross involves revealing a picture by manually filling in blocks on a blank grid, according to numbers on the sides of the grid.
However it came about, nothing helps me while away the time like a game of Picross, which I fell in love with ever since I tried it on the Nintendo DS. I’ve always been a fan of logic puzzles, though I wonder if it was of my own accord or something that came along naturally with my mother forcing pages and pages of Sudoku on my ten-year-old self.
