Pokemon Picross for Nintendo 3DS

About Pokemon Picross for Nintendo 3DS

Pokemon Picross blends two quiet obsessions into one game: number logic puzzles and collecting Pokemon. Every stage hides a Pokemon inside a grid, and the numbered clues around the edges tell you which squares to fill to reveal it. Solve the puzzle and the Pokemon is registered as caught, portrait and all. Stages are arranged across a colorful world map, with new areas opening as your collection grows. It is a free to start game, so anyone could pick it up and begin puzzling, with extra content available for those who fell for its gentle loop.

The twist on standard Picross is your team of Pokemon helpers. Pokemon you have revealed can join your party and use abilities during puzzles, such as uncovering squares, freezing the timer or auto correcting mistakes, with types and cooldowns to consider. Daily training keeps your skills sharp, missions add goals to completed stages and Mega Picross boards later raise the difficulty with clues that span two rows at once. Building the perfect helper team for a stubborn board becomes a puzzle in itself, and completing the collection takes real dedication.

For anyone discovering Pokemon Picross late, the doors have closed. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, so new digital purchases are no longer possible, and this was always a digital only title with no physical edition. It remains playable for the people who secured it earlier, since anyone who bought it before the closure can still access their purchased games today.

Gotta solve them all, one grid at a time.
