During the recent Pokemon Presents showcase, The Pokemon Company unveiled a brand-new Pokemon game for the Switch 2 console, which is available to play right now. You won`t have to wait to dive into this world.
Pokemon Friends is a newly released puzzle game designed to `help untangle your mind.` Players solve various puzzles and then utilize the earned yarn in a special device called the `Plush-O-Matic` to create in-game Pokemon plushies.
As the game`s description states: “As you strive to craft them all, you can track your created plushies in a catalog. You can also mark your calendar with a stamp each day you play, and then go back and practice the puzzles you played on those days.”
Players will also encounter strangers in the game world who will request specific plushies. Completing these quests not only unlocks new plush toys but also increases your friendship level with the townspeople. “Grateful townspeople will give rewards, including furniture, which you can use to decorate your in-game plush rooms,” the game`s description states.
Pokemon Friends is available as a free download on mobile devices. However, for Switch and Switch 2 consoles, it can be purchased from the eShop for $10. This purchase includes the “Basic Pack,” which features 30 puzzles, 70 craftable plush figures, and 11 yarn types. Additional microtransactions are also available, such as “Puzzle Packs 1 and 2,” which add more puzzles to the game. Each costs $15 individually, or $26 for the bundle.
The announcement of Pokemon Friends took place during the Pokemon Presents broadcast, which also featured numerous other revelations, including more detailed information about a real-life Pokemon park. Below is a gallery providing an overview of all the major announcements.
