Pokemon Picross has been promoted as a free-to-play/start game. Now that the download has arrived in Japan, some notable information has emerged about this aspect.

Serebii writes that after purchasing all 5,000 Picrites, they can be redeemed from time to time in batches of 1,000. If you max out the Energy Gauge’s level by spending Picrites, the free-to-play element is then removed. Players won’t have to worry about the energy gauge as it is at infinity.

Here are some other Pokemon Picross details from Serebii:

– Mega Evolution stages cost Picrites to access
– Micross puzzles can be found by completing various challenges on a variety of Pokémon
– These are larger puzzles that you unlock pieces for gradually and encompass a much larger image
– There’s a password option that will unlock various secret stages in the game
– 02:16: When you have purchased all 5000 Picrites, you can then redeem free Picrites from time to time in batches of 1000. If you max out the Energy Gauge’s level by spending your Picrites, you then remove the free to play aspect. You no longer have to worry about the energy gauge as it is at infinity
– Mega Evolution stages cost Picrites to access
– A special mode mirroring the standard stages is available later in the game
– This mode repeats puzzles but as Mega Picross style puzzles
