Of course, with any incredibly popular title, there’s likely going to be aPokemontie-in or crossover at some point.Pokemon Smileeven created a crossover between the huge gaming franchise and tooth brushing. ForWordlethough, thePokemon-themed version is calledSquirdle, and it’s quite a creative version of the viral game. Instead of just making players guess the names ofPokemon, similarly toWordle,players ofSquirdlemust guess a specificPokemon.
There are a few ways to playSquirdle.A player can choose the traditional, daily version where they must correctly guess one of the current 898Pokemon, with feedback given on whether a player correctly guess the generation of thePokemon, its type, its height and weight. There’s a mode which allows the player to just guessPokemonat random without following the daily routine, and for those that haven’t managed to keep up with the staggering amount ofPokemon,there’s a version just looking at theGeneration 1Pokemon.
By focusing on other factors besides the letters making up the name of aPokemon,Squirdleis a fairly creative clone ofWordle, allowing for players of the latter to experience a new guessing game requiring equal measures of strategy and luck. So far,Wordleproves to be popular enough to stand alone though, with it becoming such a sensation that theNew York Times purchased the game, making fans somewhat nervous for its future.
