I feel pretty comfortable saying Pokemon Picross, at the very least, will cost you 950 Picrites.

Access to area 2 costs 50 Picrites, but once you pass Area 5, the price starts going past 100 Picrites for each new location. Players can access the training area and first area in Pokemon Picross for free. I’d consider these more optional offerings, unlike the Energy and Pokemon slots, so it’s possible to put these aside.įinally, each area costs additional Picrites to unlock. There are also Mega Picross puzzles, but these are locked away in the Alt World. In order to play these, you need a Mega Pencil. There are two additional modes which require Picrite investment in Pokemon Picross. It costs 250 Picrites to unlock the other four Pokemon slots. Also, people unfamiliar with Picross games will probably want access to as many hint skills as possible.

However, some puzzles require certain numbers of specific types of Pokemon or particular skills to be used.

The second most is probably making sure you have enough Pokemon slots. This is the most important purchase you will make in the game. The cost to make it unlimited, so you’ll never run out of Energy in the midst of a puzzle, is 700 Picrites. Including the starting point, there are five levels to the Energy gauge. When the game begins, you can fill in 100 squares before you have to stop and wait for it to recharge. The first essential expenditure is to completely upgrade the Energy gauge. However, there’s a trickier cost based on what you would actually need to gradually work your way through Pokemon Picross. With this option, you’re guaranteed enough Picrites to access all areas, unlock all game modes and elements, and even restore the energy of Pokemon who have skills that have recharge times. That’s broken down to $0.99 for 200, the first one-time offer, $3.99 for 800, the second one-time offer, and finally $24.99 for 4,000. With the two one-use offer deals, 5,000 Picrites can end up being $29.97 before tax.

If a Pokemon Picross player buys 5,000 Picrites, then you can get 1,000 free Picrites at a time after as needed. The question is, how much could someone reasonably expect to spend on Pokemon Picross and enjoy themselves, eliminating some of the wait that would come from waiting to earn enough Picrites from missions, achievements, and daily training. Maybe even a good amount, if you’re willing to be patient and gradually earn additional Picrites, the in-game currency, from the daily challenges. After you download it, it is hypothetically possible to play through some of the game for free. Pokemon Picross is one of Nintendo’s free-to-play games for the Nintendo 3DS.
