They should not implement too much exotic options to the Picross game, if it simplifies the game too much.
And I hope there will be a sense of progression in the "difficulty" like in the old Picross (only played the GB and SFC ones).
Gamexplain added a video with the first 30 minutes of the game. Professor Tetra serves as the picross tutorial, and she guides you through the first few levels of the game.
The title screen music is a pretty nice remix of some classic Pokemon music.
I watched 5 minutes of the GameXplain video but got bored due to the slow introduction and slow puzzle solving. I can solve 5x5 puzzles pretty much by just looking at the puzzle for few seconds so it just felt like an eternity before he solved the first puzzle. I get that he was reading the tutorial and maybe wanted to take it a bit slow but still.
Does anyone know if there are any restrictions on how long you can play at a time and how many puzzles are included?

I really hope you don't need to grind in this game. I'm not going to use Pokémon skills as I've stated previously but since unlocking new areas seems to cost picrites, I hope they give you enough to continue playing without needing to play the same level twice if you don't use picrites to anything else. I don't see the point in solving the same Picross twice unless I'm playing a Time Trial mode where the puzzle is chosen randomly.

Best case they'll charge like 1USD =1Euro and it's US$32, which is practically C$50 anyway after they do the exchange rate and add tax, but I fear it might be even more in USD, especially if they base it on the exchange rate with the GBP.
Downloaded the game and played until I couldn't continue due to free to play limits. First impressions:
Good:
Free
Lot of puzzles
Skippable tutorials
Mixed:
Some additional things to do (achievements, tasks)
Bad:
Forces the usage of Pokémon by having different tasks in every puzzle which can involve using certain skills
I'm really glad I've been able to avoid using Pokémon powers and I'll continue doing so but once I've solved all the puzzles I'll try to 100% the game and I'll have to use Pokémon skills then. It wouldn't be bad otherwise but the game calculates the best time and I don't want to have better time because I cheated. What I'll most likely end up doing is just wait until I've passed my record and then solve the puzzle with the requirements. It's just going to be tedious.

The game is ridiculously priced at around $40 in Australia for 5000 Picrites.
I wouldn't mind paying up to $60 if it were a physical retail game (though something like this is likely to be a $50 budget title, a la Pokémon Art Academy). I'm reluctant to buy the Picrites, because it's a rip-off and I don't want to support this kind of idiotic business practice (but I love Picross and Pokémon so my will is weak), and I have a feeling that they'll pull a Pokémon Rumble World on us and issue a physical retail release for this too.
To put things into perspective, this game costs about as much as the six currently available Picross e games combined. =/
