  This is an excellent puzzle format, thank you! I had pneumati rather than pneumato, so unfortunately had to check all when I got to the end, but the solve process was a fantastic journey. I especially liked that the picross element wasn’t solvable in isolation, so you truly have to switch between crossword logic and picross logic throughout the solve. What’s the significance of the circled cell?

    Huh, I had a different solve path, I did the picross in isolation first then did the crossword, I think the circled cell allows you to do that.

      I did the picross first too starting from the circle

      Thanks for the kind words! And yes - without the circle I believe the pure picross part of the puzzle would have multiple possible solutions. Funny coincidence that it contains the letter O though!

      Oh I see, that does make sense. Clearly I’ve made things harder on myself! But I think I preferred my solve path actually, and the puzzle still has a unique solution without the given cell, as long as you use some knowledge about the crossword answers to eliminate picross possibilities.

  WOW. it took me a lot longer than 13:21 because i had to perform a couple google searches. i think of myself as Pretty Good at picross and Enthusiastic But Amateur at crosswords and this absolutely destroyed me. partly because I was 100% confident the Type:Null thing was RCS, because I guess I pronounce Arceus wrong...

  this is amazing. thank you!
