Growing up with Pokémon, I could recognize plenty of characters from their colors or even part of their faces. Pokemon Memory reminded me that recognizing a Pokémon is one thing. Remembering exactly where its card is hiding is another.
The game lays out a board full of face-down cards. Flip two cards on each turn. If the pictures match, they count as a pair. If they do not, both cards turn over again. It is surprisingly easy to forget what you just saw, especially when several cards use similar colors.
Pokemon Memory has four levels. Finding every pair is enough to clear a level, but doing it in as few moves as possible is the real challenge. You can click around and eventually find everything, though you will probably end up reopening plenty of cards along the way.
I usually remember the cards near the corners, while the ones around the middle tend to blur together. The worst part is finding one half of a pair and then forgetting whether the other card was two or three spaces away. Of course, the answer usually comes back the second the wrong card flips over.
The cards feature Pokémon with different colors and designs, making them fairly easy to tell apart. There are no complicated rules to learn. Just flip the cards, remember what you saw, and find every match.
Pick your first two cards and see if you can clear all four levels without flipping the same ones over and over.
