They're very hard puzzles, so hopefully you can figure out at least the novice puzzles! I tried very hard not to punish players who couldn't do the hardest puzzles -- the hint system will get you through any puzzle if you ask enough questions, and the Pokemon mostly rotate to the easier puzzles so you can always play with your favorite Pokemon if you are patient. And lastly -- there are some secret ways I give slower players more money, so even if you are slower than most people at the puzzles you still a secret present for it 😀
You might be surprised that for every person who asks "How do I solve this puzzle, I don't understand" there is someone else who asks "I can't understand how Grimer works someone help!" Both halves of the game are kind of a different kind of puzzle aren't they?
