Looks like mobile shovelware with a Pokemon skin. TPC has shockingly low quality standards for the biggest franchise on earth.

Apparently they are available on mobile too, so basically mobile games that they ported to Switch too.

Updated the description on post.

I’ll be the positive on this one. It’s a daily brain training type game that mentioned its DLC once in game and then moved on. My ten year old and I played day one and two side by side and enjoyed both days. I don’t think it is worth the extra money for unlimited play, but if my child hadn’t discovered Minecraft already, I could see him playing with these puzzles for an hour at a time while we grocery shop or wait at a doctor’s office.

The plush making is gatcha, though. Luckily, I don’t care which Pokemon I make (unless there’s a Rockruff and I don’t get it. I’ll change my opinion about the game on a fine if I don’t get my Rockruff).

Edit: I tried it on iOS. I’d imagine the Switch version is unlimited daily puzzles. The “extra money for unlimited play” I mentioned is the same as the Switch cost.

So, I tried it yesterday, and I agree, for a mobile game, it's pretty fun, and you can't play for more than 10-15 mins, which is great for me. No ads, no constant reminders about anything that you can buy.

This is a good one. Recommended to puzzles fans who want a quick game or two in a day.
