In the world of Pokemon games, Squirdle is indeed an innovative addition. Well, do not confuse it with Squirtle! It is, infact, a new game. Pokemon games have always been interesting. In fact, they have at times become very addictive. Recently, Pokemon Legends: Arceus has become a hot topic of discussion among gamers. However, we, at times, look for certain games that engage us intellectually. Such games as picture puzzles and word puzzles engage us in a very creative way. Moreover, these games test our intellectual capabilities. Squirdle is a similar type of game.
It is a Wordle-like game. This means in the game; you have to guess and frame words. In Squirdle you have to guess about Pokemons. It is created by Sergio Morales Esquivel. In fact, the genius of the creator takes the game beyond the scope of simple word formation games and makes it a more complex one. It requires sound knowledge about Pokemons to play this game successfully. Therefore, the game is more challenging than it sounds. This article will take you through the various details of the game. Therefore, read the article to know more about the game.
About The Game Squirdle
As stated earlier, Squirdle is much more than a simple word puzzle. One needs to have a sound knowledge of Pokemons, to play this game properly. Copy-pasting codes are not even an option here. This means that the game will be offering a guess from around 898 Pokemons, excluding the regional and mega-evolved variants.
The game will offer you eight turns. These eight turns involve certain specialist feedback. In fact, in the game, there are five points of feedback. These are – Generation, Type 1, Type 2, Height, and Weight. On guessing any of the types correctly, you will get a green box. If you provide the right feedback but in an incorrect position, then you will get a yellow box. On giving a wrong response, a red box will be to you. In fact, the types are more confusing.
The Difficulty Involved
The fact that Squirdle does not allow copy-pasting makes it a tough game in the first place. In fact, it is very difficult to remember the names of all the Pokemons by heart. There are so many of them! It is also equally difficult to remember the generations of the Pokemon. In fact, some people who have played other Pokemon games will also face difficulty here. After all, this is not about exploring maps and catching Pokemons.
The game also has a daily version, similar to Wordle. This daily version allows one Pokemon to guess every 24 hours. However, the game also provides an option to play it limitlessly, as per your wish, with the game picking Pokemons randomly. At times, the game asks you to identify a Pokemon having the same height or weight as another. Now, this is a real difficulty. Even if you can manage to remember the names and types, the height and weight of Pokemons sound too much to remember. Well, unless you are an encyclopedia of Pokemons, this game will surely frustrate you at least once.
Though the game might sound difficult, it has its own type of pleasure. In our childhood, we got the same pleasure, while solving mathematical problems. Mathematics might seem difficult to some. In fact, many people might not like the subject at all. However, irrespective of your dislike, you cannot deny the pleasure one gets after solving a difficult problem correctly. Squirdle gives us a similar pleasure. Therefore, it becomes really satisfying when you correctly guess the Pokemons in the game.
Concluding Lines
Games are not merely entertaining. They, at times, have certain utilitarian aspects too. In fact, in this world, we hardly care about something that has no utility. Squirdle is a game that will surely entertain you. However, at the same time, the game will test your capability to remember, recall and compare. Therefore, it does the same work as Wordle. Obviously, unlike Wordle, your vocabulary will not be enhanced. But the game will definitely give your brain a sound workout every time you play it.
