Hi, I'm a mod of all these games.
For me it would be OK to add these games to these series too. But I can understand when the mods of these series also have to agree to that theirself.
So for my side it would be OK.
Yeah, I usually play video games by myself also in english. And yes I will only use the official ones in english ;-)
Yeah, the order is the best to compare this. BTW I've already request some other picross games, I hope these will be approved.
OK, it seems that some level names are not the same when you compare the US-version with the EU-version of the game although theire based upon the same language. For example in the european Version the Level "Moai Statue" is "Moai" (well, that's not so bad). An other example is in the european version the Level "No. 4 Batter" in the US version they called the Level "Cleanup Batter". I don't know if this could lead to wrong entrys in the future?
Well, I also only have two european 3DS systems. I use homebrew on one of them to get it to work. The only problem is that you can't pause or exit the game so easily and you also have to start the homebrew launcher before you can start the game, in my case I have to switch the cartridges (first the cartridge with the exploit and then the cartridge with the game).
There is already a sequel for the 3DS, it's called Katachi Shin Hakken! Rittai Picross 2 (or short Picross 3D 2). It only saw a japanese release yet but. But I own it too and it's also a great game. The fact that the game is only in japanse is not a great problem. But you need a japanese 3DS or a homebrew to play it.

Yeah, that's right. That's the point. So, we could leave the level names in englisch. Or we could write the Level notation with the difficulty between brackets at the end of the english name.
Ok, i seems as that you've already find the option to add me as an mod. OK, in the case of Pokémon Picross theres really the only option to provide a video of the run with a RTA timer as a proof. Sadly theres no option to display the used Pokémon for this run on the Screen.
Also an possible correction at the Level-runs on Picross 3D could be the act to rename the Levels into the Section-Level combination. For example Level 1-A or Level 2-C so there wouldn't be a language barrier with some other languages of the game execept english.
Ok, if you would add me as a moderator I could also help you to verificate the runs (if there will be more than us). Also I have a question in case of the rules: Is a photo of the result screen requiered or would a photo of the time in the puzzle select screen also be a true proof? My last question is: Did you send, as you send a game request for this game, only a picture or a video as a proof?
It seems that there are a few more fans of the Picross Games out there, it would be cool if we could some more Picross Games from Nintendo to the speedrun.com DB. Especially the Picross Episodes from the eShop and the old Mario's Picross Games on the original Game Boy and the Super Famicom. This could be merged into an whole game series with Level runs and also Full-game runs (in this case a Stage or a section). I would add these games by myself but it don't know, if a game with only a Screenshot of a result would be approved.
