Puzzle-focused ‘Pokémon Friends’ available now on Mobile and Switch

As they do on a regular basis, The Pokémon Company recently hosted their latest Pokémon Presents showcase, giving fans a look at all the various upcoming video games based on the ever-popular IP. Alongside updates on the likes of Pokémon Z-A and Champions, a brand new puzzle game for Switch and iOS/Android was announced: Pokémon Friends.

Officially unveiled during the most recent Pokémon Presents showcase, Pokémon Friends is a “plush-filled puzzle adventure packed with charming challenges!”

Available right now on iOS, Android as well as the Nintendo Switch (and its successor) Pokémon Friends features a ton of different and varied puzzles – clearly inspired by the abundance of similarly-styled puzzle games which have been available on mobile devices for years.

Still, as with most things Pokémon, this latest game has that added charm which may be enough to entice both fans of the genre as well as fans of the Pokémon series itself to give it a whirl.

With over 1200 puzzles, Pokémon Friends should offer plenty to chew on. That said, while the game is a free-to-start experience (at least on mobile), there are a few rather pricey in-app purchases, namely:

• £9.99 – Basic Pack (unlimited plays + new puzzles, plushies and ‘features’)
• £14.99 – Puzzle On! Pack #1 (New puzzles, plushies and wallpapers)
• £14.99 – Puzzle On! Pack #2 (New puzzles, plushies and wallpapers)
• £34.99 – Combo Bundle (Featuring all of the above)
