Pokémon has entered the puzzle game market with a new iOS title, Pokémon Friends. The game is free and available now on the App Store. It mixes light logic puzzles with a charming crafting system, perfect for fans of cozy, casual gaming.
Players solve quick brain teasers to earn virtual yarn. This yarn is then used to craft plush versions of classic Pokémon characters. These creations can be displayed in customizable rooms with furniture, wallpaper, and decorations.
1,200 Puzzles and a Narrative Twist
The game features over 1,200 puzzles, ranging from quick tasks to more difficult challenges. Its setting, Think Town, adds a gentle storyline. Players help plush-loving citizens while building their own Pokémon collection. A daily calendar feature tracks progress and rewards streaks, motivating players to return each day.
Family-Friendly and Free to Download
Pokémon Friends supports up to five save files on one device, making it family-friendly. The app is free to download, though optional in-app purchases are available for cosmetic items or extra puzzle packs. Its design focuses on accessibility and calm engagement, appealing to all ages.
Part of a Broader Trend
This release joins the growing list of Pokémon games on iOS, such as Pokémon Unite and Pokémon Sleep. It reflects the popularity of cozy mobile games that promote creativity over competition. Pokémon Friends also complements Apple’s collection of daily puzzles like crosswords and sudoku.
