My brother borrow me his 3ds and i was playing this game pokemon picross, i never played picross before and i loved it.
The thing is that i need 90 gems to unlock the next area and i only have 20, and if i wait until i load up all my squares and 100% every stage i will only achieve 50 gems.
How am i supposed to keep playing ?
I didnt knew it was f2p until too late

Wait for midnight, do the training, go back to 23:59 with a maximum of 9 minutes steps (booting up the game for each step), wait again for midnight, redo the training, repeat.

THIS IS THE FUTURE YOU CHOSEdownload a DS emulator and play Picross 3D or that regular 2D DS Picross

I took his 3ds ? I dont know if the grammar is wrong, not my main language.
Also im already too old to own consoles.
There's other ways to play picross than a microtransaction riddled shit pile.
I would be surprised if the eshop didn't have cheap alternatives, at the very least, mario picross is probably on the eshop, although the virtual console wouldn't have touch controls

Install CFW and use SaveDataFiler to give yourself 9999 picrites

Tell him to borrow you an English grammar book next.

and the save editor?
>>24984995
Log onto the eshop and pay 5$ for Picross-e 6, which has like 600 puzzles and no picrite bullshit. Fuck Pokemon Picross.
They're called nonograms too. I just downloaded a bunch of nonogram apps on my phone and play them on the subway these days. You don't need to buy the Nintendo ones. That being said, Picross 3D is a pretty unique and legit spin on the concept, definitely try that out if you enjoy regular Picross/nonogram.

save editor doesn't work with homebrew

What do you mean about 9 minute steps? You can go back from 0.01 to 23.59, but not from 0.09?
>>24986055
If it's, let's say, 01:00 you can go from there to 0:51, 0:48, 0:39 and so on till you reach 23:59, but you can't go straight to 23:59 or else you'll get locked out from the training for 24 hours.

nvm, i figured out how to do it
The training is reset at midnight or every 24 hours?
>>24989466
Midnight.
My 3DS decided to just give me this game, and I'm enjoying it, but I'm wondering what the catch is.
>>24991420
The catch is that unlocking areas costs between 90 and 200-ish picrites. There are three ways to get picrites:
>Picrites can be won from completing missions. You can get some 30-50 picrites per area this way.
>You get picrites from completing a daily challenge. This starts pretty low and eventually increases to around 10.
>You can buy picrites for real money.
So basically, every batch of 5-7 levels requires grinding in-game cash by playing the game for 2-3 minutes a day for a week to unlock unless you're willing to pay money to get around it.
I unlocked area 11 yesterday, and beat all the missions there. I now have 20 picrites and the only free way to get more is to beat daily training once a day for either 9 or 11 picrites depending on whether I stay under the 2 minute limit or not. Area 12 costs 140 picrites, so it will take a week and a half to grind that much.

So I don't have to spend money, I can just be patient?
>>24991548
Yeah. Money can't get you anything you can't get for free.
>>24991548
In theory, but the later areas are so expensive that you either have to pay or wait several months to open them. However, you can just use the time exploit to speed things up.

do you need to go to the shop once if you install the game via a .cia?
