Ah, nothing quite as refreshing as a stealth game launch during a Nintendo Direct or a Pokémon Presents, eh? Such was the case yesterday during the Pokémon Presents showcase when Pokémon Friends was unleashed upon the world. This new Pokémon puzzler combines tracing paths, yarn, and plushes. Don’t believe us? Take a gander:
Here are some of the key takeaways from the game:
- 1,200 puzzles to solve
- Daily stamps to earn
- 150 different plushes to collect
- Friend quests
As players solve puzzles, they can take the yarn that they earn to create new Pokémon plushes. These plushes can be given to the residents of Think Town (the setting of the game) and can also be used to decorate the player’s in-game plush rooms. There are likely many of you out there reading this who have their own real life plush rooms! Well, now you can have digital ones after you’ve downloaded Pokémon Friends to a Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, or an Android or iOS device.
