1st for still grinding out ability medals
2nd for holiday-appropriate Judaism from Nintendo
I have never played a picross game before, and i've loved this so far up until the paywall.
Do you guys think it's somewhat worth it to pay the 30 bucks if I already like it?
>>24792235
picross ds is the best picross game ever made and you can get a physical copy for$10, so no, unless you already own all the other picross games

>>24792235
>>24792469
for 30 bucks you can get 5 of the picross eseries games off eshop
mario's picross features 250 levels at 4 bucks off eshopor free if you get a rom
any eseries features 150-300 levels for 6 each
picross 3/DS are both retail and aren't that expensive
If you wanna buyout the paywall that's fine but be aware that there are plenty of options.
Save editing with homebrew when
>>24793716
If we're talking ROMs, Mario Picross 2 is even better, 800 puzzles with two different modes (one where you get corrected on mistakes at a time penalty, one where you don't). It expects you to have played the original though, the game gets hard pretty quick compared to Mario's Picross 1.
>>24793752
which system is that for, I'll pick that up too
>>24793779
gameboy
>>24793779
Game Boy. The reason it has so many puzzles is because almost all of them are mini-mosaics, where they're split into four 15x15 puzzles to make a 60x60 image. There aren't too many Mario-related images since they kind of ran out by the end of the first one, but Picross is great even when it doesn't have a theme.
I'm at the end of area 3 and it costs 70 pics to get to 4 but I have no way of earning that many unless I wait each day out so I can do the daily challenges, this is fucking bull shit
>>24794025
grind excess energy on alt world 00 for achievement picrites :^)
>>24794045
So I can go to a random stage, fill it up... And that count for the missions? Even if I quit the stage?
>>24794045
The fuck is alt world, prof hasn't said shit about an alt world yet
>>24794054
im not talking about missions, im talking about medals.
what im suggesting is going to S 00-06 and spending all your excess energy doing it over and over again so you can grind for the "x ability uses" medals, which reward picrites.
its a total pittance but if you want to be f2p you gotta take every little advantage.
>>24794059
It's "mega picross," like in the eseries games. Some clues span two rows, so the filled-in squares have to span both rows too.
>Using a reveal auto skill
>Scanning...scanning...scanning.

Just...
Like I was saying in the last thread, I always fuck up on Mew. Like 4 or 5 times already. This is the only puzzle this happens to me more than once
>pic related
Just realized I fucked up again somewhere in the right side
>>24794470
you fucked up on the top too. the 3 is not possible.
my advice when this kind of thing happens to me is to take it really easy when you redo it. start by ONLY doing the really really easy to figure out lines, and double check them. IGNORE any lines where you think you can find a solution if you think about it enough. focus only on those easymode lines until there arent any left double checking everything along the way, THEN you can think about some of the harder lines that require more counting.
doing it 4-5 times and messing up usually means youre making a logic error, so you need to both focus on easy stuff as well as fact check yourself
>>24794470
I got that mistake too as well in the first time. I relaxed a bit, quit and tried it again. Use a pkmn power as well. There are some really helpful once as well.
Am I an idiot? I can't find the save button. Is this auto save?
pls help
>>24794568
i dont think theres a picross game out there that isnt auto save
>>24794547
>>24794493
>>24794470
Used Zygarde 10% to reveal a 5x5 square in the top right corner, since that is the area that fucks me up every time. Solved it easily after that.
>pic related
I'd still like to be able to do it with out Pokemon hints like most of the others I've done so far. I don't know what it is about that particular corner.
Now I'm at a halt for a while, as I can't advance to Area 6 or 8 when I only have 12 picrites left
>>24792115
This game is fucking bunk.
Just fyi
For farming usage medals, can you just start a stage, use the skills you want, then quit?
>>24794820
Yeah, and you don't have to worry about energy, because the skill will always fill the blocks, even if you have 0.
>>24794838
Oh I didn't even notice those skills actually took energy. Neat, thanks.
>>24794568
If you're in the middle of a puzzle, press Start then Pause. It will save your progress.
Otherwise yes, it auto saves after you beat any puzzle.
Is it just me or does this game drain the battery? Maybe it's because I'm playing for longer but it feels like I need to recharge the 3DS way more often.
>>24796896
It's the intense 3D action.
this is free right
>>24798108
depends on your viewpoint
>>24798108
They call it "free to start". You can play the first 3-4 worlds for free, then you need to pay up. $10 gets you pretty far though.
>>24798147
>need
again, depends on your viewpoint
>>24798189
Unless you want to grind for literal months, it's pretty necessary.
>>24798612
>Unless you want to grind for literal months
hey thats exactly what im doing.
I seriously wonder where the hell are Fighting type pokemon. I'm at area 8 and I haven't found a single one.
>>24799696
You get Pancham pretty early. The next one after that is probably Lucario in 16-03.
>>24799728
Let me guess. Pancham is in area 6?
>>24799736
Pancham is 02-02. You can't miss it.

D'oh!
>Already bought and completed every other Picross game playable on the 3DS.

I think I'm becoming the cancer.
>>24800069
if you dont have picross ds buy that instead, its the best picross game ever made anyway
>>24800083
What part of "Already bought and completed every other Picross game playable on the 3DS" don't you understand?
>>24800108
oh, i missed the playable part.
well, theres always marios super picross.
I downloaded Picross DS yesterday, but I really need to get used to the zoom-in first. Thinking of diving into the e series.
Anyway, I'm really loving the Pokemon theme though, but as it is now it's just way to expensive. Even only buying half the Picrites wouldn't get you anywhere.
I wonder if the game will get updates, but it really doesn't look like that. If it had all Pokemon and formes available I would buy it in a second.
>>24801570
The e series is a better deal. Pokemon Picross is only good if you hack in more picrites.

Why is this allowed?
i'm stumped familythis one's picross DS by the way
>>24809430
no, it doesnt.
>>24809434
how many hints would you like me to give you?
>>24809446
1, but tell me how you figured it out
>>24809434
You can fill in a block at the end of the 1 1 1 3 3 line.
>>24809434
>>24809455
>>24809463
standard overlap counting method.
>>24809436
It does. Filling in everything else leaves you with
ox
xo
in the intersection, with no indication as to which of those two open blocks should be filled in.
>>24809463
>>24809474
thanks, can't believe I missed that one
>>24809476
post a picture and ill prove to you why youre wrong.
>>24809480
there are more things you missed using the same method, so take the time to count out the biggest number in each row/column
>>24809487
Oh wait, the small numbers indicate which of the two lines the filled-in block should be in, right?
Never mind my faggotry.
>>24809518
the small numbers are treated like regular picross numbers except they arent allowed to have anything in the adjacent mega picross row/column touching them, because then they'd be a mega number.
and yes, their placement indicates which row or column they appear in.
>>24809539
Right then. First time I've ever tried this Mega Picross thing.
>>24794672
>used Zygarde 10%
Isn't that password locked?
Have they released any passwords officially?
>>24809697
The first one is getting released next week.
>>24809672
There's a pastebin in the OP
so for the purpose of the medals, it counts every possible use of the ability, not just the activation. so for example, treeko's auto-fix has 5 uses, and if you use all 5 in one puzzle, it counts as 5 towards the purpose of the medal achievement
>>24809799
Pretty sure it doesn't count the automatic activation for the auto recovery skills.
>>24809831
i literally just now had it happen, anon. 5 uses, used the first 4, no medal. on the 5th use, the medal popped up.
>>24809850
No, I mean you actually have to make errors that get corrected, you can't just enter the stage and have the abillity itself activate at the beginning.
>>24804011
The game hands you 200 free picrites. What the fuck are you faggots doing? Buying more Pokemon slots?
>>24809887
oh i gotcha. yeah, i should have made that clearer. its good though cause it makes getting those medals much faster
>>24809892
>200 picrites
>a lot
>>24809910
3 areas without buying anything else. Can easily get enough for 4th area.
Literally what the fuck are you doing? It's 40 puzzles for free and $5 for 800 which will last the entire game unless you're buying upgrades. Christ don't they teach math in schools anymore?
>>24809927
>Literally what the fuck are you doing?
not paying a cent for this game thats what
>>24809927
>800 which will last the entire game
Are you retarded? To move from area 5 to 6, it costs 100. Add 10 to that cost for each zone you go further and that 800 picrites only gets you to area 11
>40 puzzles for free
There's not 10 puzzles in each area. By area 4, you kwnly have 22 puzzles, and that's including using passwords and the mythical Pokémon that you have to wait for.
>>24809927
To unlock all 30 areas you'd need at least 3000 Picrites. And that isn't even taking unlocking the alt. world stages and megas in account.
I actually was ready to buy the full game when they announced it, but it's just not worth it.
One more hour and I can enter area 04!
Yesterday the one hour counter popped up for the mythical in area 04, I was platinum mad.
WHERE IS MY PICROSS MOBILE ???
>>24810039
Keep jewing. You will get to fun someday
>there are people that got stuck at the end of area 3and DIDN'T delete and redownload to start over and play without wasting picrites
Literally why
>>24810101
>and DIDN'T delete and redownload to start over and play without wasting picrites
who cares? either you pay money and none of that matters or you dont and you just get your stonewall 3 areas later.
so anyone tried to abuse the clock?
I live in germany and we set out clock back and forth every half a year. Got so fed up with this I let my 3ds stay in that summer time zone.
so when its 23:30 in germany, its 00:30 on my 3ds and I get to play a new training game,
So what if I turn back 1 hour, wait an hour and play, repeat? wouldnt that work?
>>24810341
been thinking about trying it but dont care enough. feel free to test it and let us know. would probably piss off all the people who spent money on it if you could get picrites that easy
>>24810355
the game scolds you for changing the time.
Unless you can somehow fuck with the knowledge of the game somehow, this wont work
>>24810341
If you change the clock at all, you need to wait 24-hours for the next training session.
>>24810341
I think that you'll lose the legendary appearances or something like that. Don't try it.

>>24812807
Can't believe I missed that, thanks!
>>24812822
Are you taking the clue from the horizontal or the vertical?
>>24812894
im pretty sure its wrong either way, definitely from the 4 6 2 at least
![WVW69iptTcwtjg9I6E[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/bZIw4nh.jpg "WVW69iptTcwtjg9I6E[1].jpg")
Followed this anon's >>24812807 hint, but got stuck again.
>>24812968
Never mind, Blue Force helped out.Only possible spot is 1 1 2 1 1 horizontal row, if you're interested.
>>24812977
ah, that did help. i see it now.
So I'm at area 5, I need 90+ to unlock the next areas while I have ~45 after getting literally every picrite I can get apart from medals. Does the game give you free picrites daily or something or are you forced to buy in order to continue?
PS. Picross 3D on DS was the best of all Picross games, can't wait for the sequel.
>>24813714
>Does the game give you free picrites daily
Yes.
Though you should grind those 50 skill uses medals.
>>24813714
The only way to get Picrites free is as rewards from puzzles, medals or daily training.
>MIssion: Finish it under 00:15:00
>Do it in 00:15:01
You're damn right I'm mad
>>24815266
>mfw beat Vaporeon in 59 seconds
>game tells me theres a mythical pokemon in area 7 even though i already have jirachi

the fuck
>>24815266
>MIssion: Finish it under 00:01:00
>Do it in 00:01:00
That felt good. Especially since I wasn't sure it'd count.
What is the training level that gives you the highest bonus picrites? I'm at level 9, with 3 bonus picrites and I'm having difficulties finishing 5 puzzles within the time limit.
>>24815929
i just got the daily training level 10 medal today and i have a suspicion it doesnt go any higher, which would mean its 8+3=11 picrites max per day.
>>24816030
Figures. So there's no additional picrite incentive for levelling up beyond level 8 training, right? The bonus was at 3 picrites at level 8 as well.
>>24816050
there are two medals to get at level 10 training for 3 picrites each, so technically there is. i also cant confirm it doesnt go beyond level 10 yet, wont be able to do that until tomorrow.
>>24813907
>grind those 50 skill uses medals
Can that be done on the area 00 puzzles (where the energy cost is zero) or should I be grinding using Oshawott or something else with low energy cost?
>>24816064
Oh yeah that's true. But since that's a one-off bonus, I'll just take my time to reach that level.
>>24816145
they cant be done with the puzzles that require no energy, but you can do the alt world tests instead in that area. theres one that only costs 14.
not that it matters, cause you can do it regardless of energy costs. if you use abilities and then quit the puzzle, it still counts.
>>24816145
Just enter the level, use the skill right away, then immediately retire.
The only ones that cost energy are the bomb skills, but they still work even if you don't have the energy they WOULD have subtracted from your total
>>24816181
Do I need to actually use Auto-Fixer (X) or does the automatic activate at the start count?
>>24816191
You have to use it.
>>24816191
the activation means nothing. what youre looking for is to actually use up the usage number on your pokemon. so for auto fixer x on klefki, you need to actually have it correct something, and it can do so 3 times per puzzle, all three each adding to your 50 uses
not that its not the fixing that matters. for example hyper scan doesnt actually have to fix anything when you use it, it just has to actually be used.
>>24816200
>>24816196
Thanks for the clarifying. Will grinding the automatic effects like slow time (Pikachu's I think) just be by starting and leaving puzzles continually?
Also I read somewhere
>Stage 04-08: Celebi (appears for 1 hour every 20 hours)
Since I missed it today (didnt have enough energy to complete it) it will be back tomorrow?
>>24816191
Depends what the mission is. If you have to "use" it a certain number of times, the start doesn't count.
If you have to use it LESS than X number of times, you don't need it to activate. You don't even need to take an autofix Pokemon.
>>24816219
yes and yes
>>24816224
he isnt talking about missions
>>24816219
>I missed it today (didnt have enough energy to complete it)
You can just pause the game and come back in a couple hours, you know
>>24816284
no, you cant. not for mythical pokemon.
>>24816295
You can however start it, put the 3DS to sleep and come back any time later.
So is the last panel for the Primal Groudon mural the panel you get for bringing Luxray to 9-7? Because that's a load of bullshit.
Im too retarded for this game
I dont understand those tips the pixelated doctor tell you, how do you know where to start?
>>24816541
can you give us an idea of what particularly confuses you?
>>24816189
Auto Fix requires energy as it can only activate when you place a square.
why the fuck do the first 7 fucking areas have 14 water/ice types and 0-3 of everything else?
I've hit a paywall (I've only unlocked the first 4 areas). How far will 200 picarates get me? I enjoy the game but I really don't want to support this jewishness, I would have happily paid for the game if it was under £7.
>>24817350
like 2 more areas
>>24817350
>I've hit a paywall (I've only unlocked the first 4 areas)
You're honestly better off restarting and beating those 4 first areas again, this time not wasting money on upgrades.
You can get to the end of area 7 with almost enough picrites to unlock area 8 (ignore area 6 for now) if you don't waste them.
Never played Picross and just when i think i get it, im stuck. I got oddish by myself but the next one its just ugh.
How did you guys get the hanv of it?
>>24817665
you memorize the mental math required the more you play it.
post your puzzle if you want a hint btw
>>24817665
It's an acquired skill.
That stupid P-gauge system makes this game a pretty bad choice for complete newcomers, though, since you're so restricted in how many moves you can make.
>>24817716
also part of the problem is the entire game is in free mode (the paywall mechanics require it), whereas the other picross games have a mode that tells you when you make a mistake, which is much more forgiving for newcomers.
>>24793752
>If we're talking ROMs
nobody mentionned Picross NP serie for the snes, it's in jp (like mario2 gb) but whatever once you figure out the menu, it's picross right?
np stands for nintendo power, it was a downloadable serie ; each ep is dedicated a gaming franchise, and there is an episode on pokemon ;)

>>24817790
have you played any other picross games?
>>24817806
No, but I now think I should. I have a lot of games on my plate though, so it'll have to wait.Trying to wrap up the Layton series on top of all of the other new games that keep coming out.
>>24817823
do yourself a big favor and buy picross ds on ebay for $10
>>24817827
Will do! How many games are there total?
>>24817835
picross ds is by far the best one ever made, so id start there.
after that, the e series is best. there are 6 on the 3ds eshop. id grab those too.
after that, theres 2 gameboy games, marios picross 1 and 2. theres a super nintendo game called marios super picross, and then there are the JP only nintendo power picross games. all of these older games used to have their puzzles available for download on picross ds but you cant do that anymore.
>>24817846
you forgot picross 3d for the Ds,
a new picross 3d is coming for the 3ds soon
>>24817897
i left that out only because its a different kind of picross. similar, but different.
>>24817904

>>24818122
>all these poorfags
Try and reach as far as Area 11 if you can, since you can nab Keldeo when it pops up and the next mythical isn't until Area 16.
But if you're thinking of putting time into this game, well, you're gonna have to pay up. Unless you're not doing anything for the next year or so.
>>24818423
Ignore area 06 and move on, there is nothing there worth the entry fee.
>>24818565
>year or so
Someone will be able to hack in some picerites before then.
>>24817930
The save is connected to the game, so you need to delete the entire thing and redownload.
Not that much of a hassle, though.
>>24819048
You can increase the Picrites you earn from the daily challenge by unlocking 25 areas in general. By calculations, it's better to unlock the previous areas since they are cheaper.
>>24816200
>>24816241
For grinding Blue Force and Time Freeze uses, do I need to wait the full time (2 mins for Squirtle Blue Force) or can I just activate and leave?
>>24819909
Just activate and leave.
>>24819935
Danke.
>>24819048
>Someone will be able to hack in some picerites before then.
You already can. But you need an o3DS on firmware 9.2 or below with CFW installed and save data filer. Homebrew users are SoL until Smea updates the homebrew payloads; which could be next week, or next year.
can confirm training caps at level 10. you get 8 for completing it and an additional 2 for doing in in the target time of 2 minutes, for a max of 10 picrites per day.
>stuck at the end of area 7 with 85 picrites, grinding bomb skills to get them to 50 uses
It's advised to skip area 6 for now, right?
>>24821947
honestly, it really makes so little difference. people make a big deal out of it because area 6 has nothing but ice/water types and no mythical pokemon like area 7, but honestly, if youre free to play, its pretty fucking irrelevant. youre going to progress at pretty much the exact same rate regardless of what areas you choose to open first or last.
Where do I even go to do the password stages?
>>24822930
Click the red house to find the password input. After you put in passwords, they appear in specific areas. One each in 3 and 4, two in 5.
>>24823079
Oh thanks. I'm only in area 2 because I used most my currency to unlock team slots.
>>24821467
I've been getting 11 a day and I'm only level 8.
>>24823589
I think you get more when you unlock more areas.
>>24823486
If you don't have money to put, delete your save and start again without Pokemon slots or energy upgrades.
if you choose area 7, would you then proceed to unlock area 6, or area 8? (for a f2p player)
>>24823894
Look, when you unlock 25 areas (Not go to area 25, but 25 areas) your daily challenge picrite earn reaches the maximum. So, it's technically better to unlock the previous areas as well, since they cost cheaper, than to proceed to the next one.
>>24823897
but isnt there better pkm (in any of those 2 areas 6 or 8) that can help you to catch the "rare" pkm spawns, i tried without any help (cause they didn't have the requirement to be useable in the party), and it's almost impossible (?)
>>24823945
Use the Passwords and there are a few good pokemon to use on bigger stages.
How do I do the 15x15 ones? I've been staring at one for half an hour, made my best guess, and it was all wrong.
>>24824259
Same way you beat the others. You just suck.
>>24824259
Use Blue Force if you're having trouble. At least until you get used to the larger puzzles.
>>24824678
I don't even know what blue force does.
>>24824826
Blue Force gives you a hint, on what lines you can fill boxes, based on the info you have. It makes you pay attention more and focus on those lines.
wtf! I was having fun with this game until the 20x20 puzzles appeared and what the fuck are these "mega numbers"? I can't even complete the world 00-06
>>24824882
Git gud.
Is there any point in doing the missions in Alt World? You don't get any Picrites for it.
I can't do this fucking spinarak all missions fuck
Dang I'm completely stumped on this mega picross. Little help? I think there is some overlap with the 8 in the 3rd column, but I don't see anything in the first 2.
>>24826061
Fourth column from the left, retard.
>>24826074
What about it? It's not blue, nothing can be filled in. Any square around it could be filled.
>>24826061
Here's a couple hints. I don't know how much it will help you, but it's a start
>>24826061
>>24826147
this. start looking out for these, its basic mega picross stuff
>>24826147
Thanks, I forgot about that trick. Hard to get my head around Mega Picross sometimes.
>>24825025
successand the pay barrier is all that's left
>>24826469
Do you have all the medals you can get? There's a bunch of picrites in those.
>All of these slash reveal missions
>not a single rock or ground type
Fucking why
/vp/, solve this shit for me, I've been trying at this fucker forever and still can't figure it out
>>24827893
>solve it for you
you could at LEAST solve it as much as you reasonably can before posting so we can give you a hint. if youre looking for an outright solution im sure theres one out there somewhere
>>24827893
I don't think this is the game for you.
>>24824975
Extra challenge. Just that. And a couple of missions.
About the Daily Training Lv 10, after you get both medals for clearing it in 1:40, is there any point to trying to clear it within the time limit daily? I imagine it could get tedious doing the Miiverse trick everyday.
>>24828551
Miiverse trick?
>>24828551
for the medals, no, but you get bonus picrites for clearing it in the training goal of 2 minutes.
>>24828551
Miiverse trick?
>>24828586
>>24828642
Not much of a trick, but bring up Miiverse to save it as a screenshot, bring it up on your computer to solve the puzzle using paint or something, then enter the solution into the game. Saves time.
>>24828612
So you only get the bonus 3 picrites if you can clear the 5 puzzles in 2 mins?
>>24828668
I never thought of that...
>>24828668
the amount you get from training apparently goes up as you unlock areas, so i dont know what the exact amounts are once you max this out. however, i do know the formula for what you get is as follows:
base amount + training level amount + completion time met amount
base amount you get no matter what, training level amount is based on what level you are, and the completion bonus is only given if you do it in the time allotted.
for me, with 7 areas unlocked, i get 5 + 3 + 2, for a total of 10.
>>24828668
>cheating at a children's game
>>24828730
nonograms arent really made with children in mind, anon.
...which makes me wonder why theyd choose pokemon to match with it but, oh well
>>24828730
Can't help it, I need those bonus picrites, anon
>>24828686
I never noticed getting the bonus 2 picrites, even while completing training within the time limit. I'll see if I can confirm it tomorrow, thanks!
>>24828765
Combing picross with nintendo franchises is nothing new
>>24828857
Tried this out the other day. It's really hard to play without the more "modern" conveniences like blanking out hint numbers once the row/column is finished.

FFFFFFFFFUCK.

FUCK. I JUST WANT TO SOLVE PUZZLES.
>>24829041
>>24829047
Shit. I didn't think the first one went through. Oh well. I'm mad enough to state it twice.
>>24829047
Grind some ability medals, dood
>>24827893
>>24829052
Don't you have to have Alt World unlocked to do that? Or is it just preferable?
>>24829061
There are some abilities that don't require energy. Slow Time, for example. Open the puzzle, activate it, quit, rinse and repeat.
>>24829061
no, just the alt world tests
>>24829070
You don't require energy for abilities. Even if you are at 0, the ability will still activate and fill boxes.
>>24829085
there are one or two abilities that require energy to work, particularly auto fix.
>>24829094
Just do wrong moves. It will auto fix them.
>>24829097
you need energy to place tiles for it to fix, anon.
solve thi
>>24829296
So fucking tough, I wouldn't know where to start.
>>24829296
My brain hurts... I don't know how to solve it. No powers as well. Just... fuck it man.
So I unlocked seven worlds going of the free Picrites from puzzles and daily trainings. Think I'm gonna call it quits for the time being. Anyone here planning to attempt to unlock everything without paying or are you all waiting for an exploit to come up?
>>24829630
Till now I don't mind playing a little everyday.
>>24829630
The current "paywall" is easily handled by just checking the game once a day and doing the daily training, so I see no reason to stop yet.
>>24830139
>weeks and weeks of not playing the game
Just pay up, you poorfags.
>>24830205
Give the option to have a paysafe card or something like that instead of only a credit card and I'll give my moneys to nintendo.
So, for the Unlucky medal, exactly how does a reveal skill "fail"? Turns out it's not by revealing only X's, and I can't figure anything else that'd be sensible.
>>24830268
Complete an entire board, except one, then use a skill that reveals the board and pray that it'll miss and chose only spaces that you have already filled.
>>24830213
there are nintendo eshop gift cards if you really don't want to use credit/debit
>>24830446
Not available in my country
>>24830449
really? where are you from pal? cause i live in fucking poland and even here you can get those cards without much issues
