(Japanese: ポケモンピクロス Pokémon Picross) is a puzzle game for the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. A picross, from picture and crossword, is a genre of puzzle games, also known as a nonogram. It was developed by Jupiter Corporation.
While it was announced in various game magazines in Spring 1999, the game never officially released. In September 2020, a ROM of the game was posted online.
Gameplay
The player must complete all of the picross puzzles in each world. Completed levels will be marked with Poké Balls; if the puzzle is finished in a select amount of time, it will be marked with a Master Ball instead.
Pikachu appears in the top-left corner of the screen, cheering the player on; along the way, more Pokémon are "captured" and can be selected to appear in Pikachu's place (Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Jigglypuff, and Clefairy).
There is also a tutorial mode with easier puzzles, which is guided by Misty.
The game was intended to work with the Game Boy Printer. It also has a Super Game Boy border.
History
Though Pokémon Picross was never officially released, the SNES game Picross NP Vol. 1 released in 1999 included 12 Pokémon puzzles.
The international versions of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver featured a game similar to picross at the Goldenrod Game Corner, Voltorb Flip.
Pokémon Picross, a freemium game for the Nintendo 3DS also developed by Jupiter Corporation, was released on the Nintendo eShop in December 2015.
