Lynx and Paint
[Pokemon] So I've been trying out that Pokemon Picross game, and seriously, how are you even supposed to complete the ones that are like 15x20 across
Lynx and Paint
I keep trying them and going ????? "where do I even start"
Lynx and Paint
and I'm stuck on the one after Banette so I can't advance

Use Blue Force!

It really helps with teaching yourself some tactics.

okay, how do you use blue force?
Lynx and Paint
I use it but I don't quite seem to grasp how it helps
brave vespaeria
blue force lights up when there's a logical thing you can do in that row
brave vespaeria
like, if there's one square filled in and there's only 3 in that row, you can cross off everything not close to that square
Lynx and Paint
so is it better to use when you've already got squares down on the board?
brave vespaeria
generally, but with some rows it can tell you stuff right off the bat
brave vespaeria
i usually just bring one of the ones with a really long timer/a ton of uses for big puzzles

Autofix might also help
Lynx and Paint
I don't have any pokemon that have autofix that works for larger than 10x10 yet
Lynx and Paint
not that I can recall anyway
