Finally, I can bamboozle everyone with my knowledge of pokemon no one gives a shit about like Stantler and Chimecho.

.....What the fuck do you mean that Deoxys forms are counted as separate?! Fuck you dooku.

When asked to choose a Ground and Steel type Pokémon, many would choose mons like Excadrill or Steelix, while only a select few will think of Galarian Stunfisk. That is, my friends, what separates the brave from the cowards.

This is quite literally what says on the box and then some; a take on Sudoku in which you guess Pokémon, be it by their types, region, sub-category and more, and it can be a real head-scratcher with how specific it can get with certain combinations in which very few mons fit in. It couldn’t get simpler than this, and it manages to be pretty fun, not only really testing the memory of fans of the series like myself, but also it can get really tricky with having only 9 attempts, meaning you can only really ‘’win’’ by doing it perfectly first try, and the uniqueness stat which really invites you to try to think about mons many others would normally forget about. It just takes five minutes to do it each day and the novelty will eventually wear off like so many games of this style already have proven, but that’s more of an inescapable condition with the kind of game this is rather than a true flaw, hell, the only real gripe I could have with this would be how the original franchise catalogues some of its monsters, and that’s not even a fault of this game specifically.

So yeah, game good! It takes a simple idea and keeps that one while introducing enough to make it interesting and even sometimes funny, and discussing the ‘’doku’’ of the day with others after doing it can be pretty fun and get you to learn facts about the franchise otherwise pretty specific or obscure…

Having said that I have only one request, specifically to Game Freak… MAKE NECROZMA COUNT AS A ULTRA BEAST IN THE GAMES YOU GODDAM COWARDS, IT WOULD MAKE SO MUCH SENSE WHY THE HELL IT ISN’T PROGRAMMED AS ONE ALREA-

Pokemon's pointless, hair splitting, pedantic ass category distinctions between legendaries and mythicals and whatever variation on it they'll come up with next just got a lot more real when it causes me to miss my 9/9 square for the day. Also if anything related to Kalos or Alola shows up on the square its joever for me but Im not quite prepared to play through X/Y and SM to give me an edge playing this silly browser game...yet.

I like how if you dare to get even a single one wrong it shows you a sad as fuck Pikachu from that scene in the Mewtwo movie where he kills Ash, but if you get all of them right it just completely underplays your efforts by giving you meaningless percentages to your guesses like "Wow, congrats on not traumatizing Pikachu today by remembering Urshifu the 4th time this week, but you and others 54% also chose him, so try to be more unique next time sweetie💅💅💅💅💅"

Hell Fucking Yeah Baby lemme get that 0.2% on Green Core Minior for a Rock/Flying type lets fucking go fuck you max im so much better than you at this shit


"Are you ready for your being a legendary Pokémon lesson?"

The Ultra Beasts gulped

The mythicals slowly nodded

Paradox Pokémon shuddered

Meltan and Melmetal were there for some reason

"Yes, Type: Null" they said in unison.


anyway, needs a way to play previous days

A few months back I uninstalled Pokémon Sleep because I thought it was a little fucked up how most of my thoughts early in the morning were about Pokémon. This has not changed.

The devil shivers when a Pokedoku day includes the fossil category

The game that separates the free thinkers from the sheep. Me personally, I have always loved vivillon-fancy.

Actually a fun concept for a daily browser game, as a fan of Pokémon guessing games. Maybe an option to replay past puzzles would be appreciated, but it's fine as it is.
