Pokémon Friends: New puzzle adventure launched for Switch and mobile phones!

The Pokémon world has opened a new chapter: The Pokémon Company has introduced “Pokémon Friends,” a fresh game that is available for both mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch. The launch took place as part of the exciting Pokémon Presents event and the game is available to play now. The new app is primarily aimed at puzzle lovers and offers over 1,200 different puzzles set in a colorful Pokémon world.

In “Pokémon Friends,” players control their adventures in Think Town, an enchanting place where residents offer plush-loving quests. Here they can combine puzzle-solving with iconic Pokémon like Pikachu, Piplup and Mudkip. So players can expect challenges such as drawing lines across tiles with light bulbs or moving tiles to allow water flows. Another highlight: If you puzzle cleverly, you can collect in-game items such as uniquely designed Pokémon plush toys to decorate your virtual room.

Prices and availability

“Pokémon Friends” is available on the Nintendo Switch for $9.99, while the mobile version is offered as “free-to-start.” This means that players can immerse themselves in the adventure for free, but in-app purchases are required for advanced content. This strategy clearly shows the Pokémon Company's intention to explore new ways to expand its brand and respond to trends in the gaming industry.

The game's developer, Wonderfy, is known for entertaining and educational content, which further increases expectations for the entertainment value of "Pokémon Friends." With its family-friendly focus and support for up to five save files, the game is ideal for players of all ages. Additionally, there are several DLC options including the Basic Pack and two Puzzle On! Packs that further increase the puzzle fun.

How does the new game affect the fan base?

Pokémon fans can already look forward to the new content options. Players not only have the opportunity to put their plush toys in the Plush-O-Matic, but also to decorate their own plush rooms with furniture and wallpaper. The creativity of the game is also evident here, inviting players to live out their imagination.

With a strategic focus on cross-platform play and broad appeal to both established fans and newcomers, “Pokémon Friends” is likely to make a lasting impression and further fuel interest in the iconic brand. Who knows, maybe even the last skeptic will soon discover the joy of puzzles with Pokémon! Further information can be found at IT Boltwise and Pokémon.com.
