I did it. I completed all the puzzles that don't require you to go fast, because I'm gonna be honest! I know it's part of the fun for other people but I don't like speedrunning the puzzles. My brain just isn't wired that way.

I also kind of feel like the fact that there's a picture traced on the blocks you're putting down throws me off a bit? Like, they're not a uniform color, so it makes my brain have a little more trouble mentally counting the blocks and slows me down even more. i'm still something of a Picross neophyte so I'm not sure if this is a common Picross thing or if it's unique to this game, but I'm not sure if I like it. The pictures sure are cute though, especially when you get into the Safari Zone! That's some cute stuff. I also think it's cute that you get different Pokemon along the way that change the BGM and aesthetic, but sadly I think the only music I was really into was the Charmander theme, which was a banger.
