Pokémon Picross - Coverage Day 1

It's that time again, as Pokémon Picrossis now available on the Japanese eShop for the Nintendo 3DS. Our copies have downloaded and we are making a start on coverage. As usual, I'll be posting the main focal points here as pages get created and progress continues through the game, while more in-depth details go on the discovery thread on the forums. Throughout the coming days, various sections will be updated including Area Listings and other sections will be created as time goes on so keep checking back.
The game requires 732 Blocks, being just under 93MB. 01:23: The game gives you the energy gauge at Area 1's second stage. Each move you make costs you an energy and each move takes 1 minute to recover your energy. You can recover the energy for 10 Picrites ahead of time as well. You can also increase it 5 levels. Level 2 costs 50 Picrites, Level 3 100 Picrites
01:40: Micross puzzles can be found by completing various challenges on a variety of Pokémon. These are larger puzzles that you unlock pieces for gradually and encompass a much larger image
01:43: There's a password option that will unlock various secret stages in the game
02:16: When you have purchased all 5000 Picrites, you can then redeem free Picrites from time to time in batches of 1000. If you max out the Energy Gauge's level by spending your Picrites, you then remove the free to play aspect. You no longer have to worry about the energy gauge as it is at infinity
02:50: Mega Evolution stages cost Picrites to access.
03:17: A special mode mirroring the standard stages is available later in the game. Repeats puzzles but as Mega Picross style puzzles
Edit @ 03:51: Created preliminary Pokémon Listings and Area Listings. These are preliminary and will be added with further details over the coming days so keep checking back.
09:13: There are 30 areas in the game as standard. 60 counting "Another Mode" which is the same puzzles but in Mega Picross
10:34: Updated the Pokémon Listings and Area Listings through Area 10
14:34: Updated the Pokémon Listings and Area Listings through Area 15
18:42: Updated the Pokémon Listings and Area Listings through Area 20
23:52: Updated the Pokémon Listings and Area Listings through Area 25
