Ahead of today’s massive Pokémon Presents event, a new game has been shadow dropped. This game is Pokémon Friends, a fresh mobile game experience by Eureka Every Day! you can start playing now.
Pokémon Friends is a puzzle-based game where your main goal is to make plushies. It’s got over 1,200 challenges for you to tackle, with plenty of variety in the types of brainteasers you come across.
As you solve puzzles, you earn yarn that can be used to create a wide variety of iconic Pokémon using the Plush-O-Matic. Your yarn is all tangled up, and the only way to unravel it is by completing challenges, so the more you finish, the more plushes you can make.
The puzzles you face vary on a daily basis, so you never know what type of challenge you might face. Some are much harder than others, too, so you’ll be able to breeze through certain puzzles while others might take you a bit to solve.
You can also decorate your very own cozy rooms with a wide array of plushes, furniture, wallpaper, and more. Additional decorative items become available as you play, so the more you make, the more you have to place around your home.
There’s also a bit of a storyline you follow throughout. Think Town and the plush-loving residents who reside there are in trouble, and it’s up to you to help them. Your puzzle-solving skills are the key to saving them as you work on bringing wonder back into their lives.
There are random daily challenges to get done, so logging on to play each day is essential if you want to tackle them all. You can also stamp the calendar daily to mark your progress as you go.
The base version of Pokémon Friends is free, but there are also some DLC packs you can buy to expand your experience. The first DLC is the Basic Pack, which costs $9.99 and includes 20 extra puzzles, six additional types of yarn, two setups, three wallpapers, and an array of fresh quests. There are also two Puzzle On DLCs, both of which cost $14.99 and come with 10 additional puzzles, six types of yarn, 40 plushes, four wallpapers, one setup, and more quests.
This game is available on both iOS and Android, so wherever you play, you can jump into the action now. Pokémon Friends is just the first announcement of many, as the Pokémon Presents event has a lot more new content you may want to check out, like the Eternatus coming to Pokémon Go.
