Pokémon Friends

view on tcrf.net

Pokémon Friends is an educational puzzle game that challenges you to the many different puzzles of Wonderfy's Think!Think! app combined with Pokémon-themed motifs, and has an original story set in Think Town with a plush collecting system where you use the thread you've obtained to make plushes.

Platform Differences#

  • The game's app icon/HOME screen icon is different between the iOS/Android version and the Nintendo Switch version.
  • The Nintendo Switch version is a paid download, and the iOS and Android app version is free to play with item charge.
  • The number of puzzles that can be challenged per day is limited in the iOS and Android versions twice a day at first, and once a day thereafter, and can be lifted by purchasing a DLC pack. The Nintendo Switch version has you able to change the number of puzzles to untangle from 1 to unlimited and includes both the no-cost mobile device content and Basic Pack downloadable content from the start.
  • There are 10 puzzles in the iOS and Android versions (with the other 40 being DLC), while the Nintendo Switch version has 50.
