Pokémon Picross is a free-to-play download title to be released on Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS in December 2015. The game is a nonogram puzzle game themed around Pokémon and was announced during the November 2015 Nintendo Direct. It features many of the Pokémon available during Generation VI.

Blurb

Turn puzzles into portraits with Pokémon Picross! Pokémon Picross can be downloaded without charge from Nintendo eShop for systems in the Nintendo 3DS family. In Pokémon Picross, solve number puzzles to complete pictures of your favorite Pokémon. When you complete a puzzle, you’ll add that Pokémon to your collection!

Gameplay

Gameplay consists of players filling in squares on a grid to create an image of a Pokémon. Like with normal picross, the numbers on the sides of the screen show how many blocks will be filled in on that row or column. Players obtain Pokémon by clearing puzzles, and each Pokémon has one of twelve skills that can be used to give an advantage during a later puzzle.

While a Pokémon's skill must recharge after use, players can purchase Picrites in-game or on the Nintendo eShop to recharge faster. Picrites can also be used to unlock additional puzzles.
