Pokémon Friends Launches on Nintendo Switch and Mobile: New Puzzle Adventure from Wonderfy

Pokémon Friends, the latest addition to Nintendo’s growing library, has officially launched today on Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms.

Developed in collaboration with Wonderfy, this new puzzle-centric game was revealed during the latest Pokémon Presents event and is now available digitally for $9.99.

Pokémon Friends brings players into a vibrant universe filled with over 1,200 unique puzzles and a wealth of collectible plush inspired by the beloved Pokémon series. Blending the worlds of Pokémon and engaging brainteasers, Pokémon Friends tasks players with solving groups of three randomized puzzles at a time.

Successful completion of these mental challenges yields yarn, a special in-game currency that can be fed into the Plush-O-Matic machine to produce adorable Pokémon-themed plushies.

Every plush you create is tracked in an in-game catalog, encouraging collectors to complete and display their plush inventory. In a statement reworded for journalistic clarity, the developers shared that players can enjoy daily gameplay streaks by marking their calendars for each session, earning stamps, and even revisiting puzzles from previous days to hone their skills.

The game extends beyond solo play, encouraging community interaction: townspeople will request specific plushies as part of friend quests, rewarding players with furniture to decorate their plush rooms.

This feature not only cements a sense of achievement but also boosts friendship levels within the game world. The Pokémon Friends experience begins with the Basic Pack, providing access to 30 puzzles, 70 unique plush, and all 11 available yarn types.

For players eager to expand their collection, a selection of downloadable content (DLC) is available.

The Puzzle On! Pack #1 and #2 offer additional puzzles and plushies, with each pack priced at $14.99.

For those wanting to maximize their in-game content, a bundled DLC option is offered at $25.99, representing bundled savings for dedicated fans. Pokémon Friends continues Nintendo’s tradition of accessible, family-friendly gaming on both Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms.

The game’s tactile mechanics, vibrant visuals, and rewarding collection system are poised to engage both younger audiences and Pokémon enthusiasts alike.
