Pokemon Picross was my introduction to the genre, and I fucking loved it. I played that game religiously when it dropped as a kid, and played it like every day. I just hated how money hungry it was, like their other free 3DS games (Shuffle, Rumble World). Basically any free Pokemon 3DS game was peak in terms of gameplay, but dogshit in terms of monetization.
I still really want a Pokepark, Rangers, or Conquest game 😭
In terms of good mobile games, I didn't appreciate Duel enough before they scrapped it. It was fun and the strategies seemed like they could be super interesting. Plus it has a banger menu theme.
At least Pokémon Picross let you have unlimited currency after you spent $35 or so.
Also, in case you're unaware, there was another Pokémon Picross for Game Boy Color, but it was scrapped very late into development. The good thing is that the ROM was part of the Nintendo Gigaleak a few years ago. The game is in Japanese, but there's a translation patch available. I also recommend adding this patch as well because the game's time limits are incredibly unforgiving.
Omg?? I'll have to check that out, thank you for the links!!
