Indigenous New York Times -with AppleDaily puzzles have taken over our smartphone. But when I was younger, I spent my laptop playing time chasing a different craze: Pokémon. Now Cuddly Pocket monsters are trying to find their place in the trend Wordle with Pokémon Friendsa new game that was Shadowdropered in Mobile and Nintendo Today before its official announcement a few minutes later.
Catch? Like now, it’s not exactly free, at least in the Nintendo switch. You can make a light game without paying for a mobile device, but you are encouraged to peel the perfect experience fairly quickly.
The game may not be exactly exactly what you expect. While WordleYachtability helped lead to its success, Pokémon Friends‘Daily brain bullies are not the same for everyone. .

While Wordle Encourage players to gossip or complain about which word of the day may be, Friends The puzzle has more browser game quality. You will find sliding tile dugs, skating games and Pipe dream-Esque Railway Building Puzzles. They are cute, but at least in my experience they are not something that carries an adult for a long time, and definitely to the point where you feel the need to talk about them online. Although I get that this is likely to make them more approachable to the younger audience, I think something for collaboration and more mysterious that would be better suited to the “daily challenge”, especially if you take anime’s’s Who is that Pokémon? segments into account.
Instead, this mini-game quality for the puzzle here makes me think less Wordle and more of the old school in flash games like Neoopettes. This comparison is also associated with another feature of the game, which collects plush.
Pokémon is about “asking for all”, and Pokémon Friends is not different. But here instead of attaching live critics, you collect Pokémon mummy. Every time you finish the puzzle, you deserve a thread, which you can then convert a corresponding pocket into a monster into a digital -filled animal and show in a digital room. It is a pretty solid system because you can place fluffy collectible products in full 3D mode and get furniture to indicate alongside them. Once again, like how you can decorate your neohome back during the day.
What do you think so far?

Although this approach is not what I expected is something Pokémon Friends When taking less than a Wordle A competitor and more as a collection of old school, small browser-style brain disorders that you can relax. By default, there are over 1,200 puzzles in the game, and even if they are not updated daily, as in other puzzle applications, it takes a while to recycle them all.
In other words, at least if you stay by playing a series of about three puzzles that free users receive a day. If you are ready to disassemble, you can also pay the $ 10 “Basic Pack” application to open unlimited puzzles a day (or just buy a Switch that costs $ 10 but is unlimited puzzles locked by default). Basic packaging also adds additional puzzle types, and if it is not enough, there are also “puzzle” packages for the expansion.
After all the DLC has been added that allows you to blast through the ready puzzles as you wish, Pokémon Friends It feels more than a game that could have published in the cartridge during the DS life cycle, or something that may have been a real life-like partner site during toys and life-waving. It may be disappointing for people who wanted a more communal, constantly updated experience, such as WordleBut it is likely to hit the players with a certain type of nostalgia to the emotions.
