The official Pokémon Café Mix English and Japanese websites have revealed a range of details on changes coming to Pokémon Café Mix with the relaunch of the game as Pokémon Café ReMix on October 28, 2021.

According to the announcement from the Pokémon Café Mix developers, these changes are being made for two reasons:
  1. To make the purpose and goals of the game easier to understand
    • Collect lots of Pokémon, and grow your favourite Pokémon
  2. To make all puzzles a pleasant experience for a wide range of players
    • The conditions to clear puzzles have been reviewed, and new elements are added to adjust the overall difficulty so old and new players can enjoy them.
Player feedback from the closed β in Japan in July has also contributed to the specific changes being made. These changes are as follows:

Gameflow will change significantly:
  1. Select a Pokémon you want to serve as a customer. Clearing puzzles with the customer Pokémon will increase your friendship level with them. When their friendship level is full, they will become a Staff member.
  2. New menu items are developed as Staff Pokémon grow.
  3. Hearing rumors of new menu items, Pokémon that have never appear before will come to the Café. Increase your Staff Pokémon to fill the Café with Pokémon.
Four new modes of puzzles are being introduced:
Pokémon Visiting mode (Main Order)
This mode will replace the current "Pokémon Invitation" feature. In this mode, you will serve drinks and dishes for customer Pokémon that have come to the Café. Following the update to Café ReMix, players will be able to choose the Pokémon they want to serve from a list. Golden Acorns can be used to change the Pokémon available to choose from.

In addition, there will be new elements such as "Large Order", which will give you bonus friendship levels when you complete an order, and "Additional Order", which will allow you to serve the same Pokémon in the next order.

The Master Café Mode will be playable in the same way as in the current game version. It can be unlocked from launch after you clear the new 300 Main Orders.

Past Orders mode
The Pokémon Visiting mode can now be re-challenged after it has been cleared to achieve a higher ☆ rating for the Order. The difference in the ☆ you earn in the re-challenge will be added to the friendship level of the Pokémon you've selected in the first attempt.

Menu Development mode
When certain conditions are met, such as having certain Pokémon as Staff, and having them at specific levels, players will be able to attempt puzzles allowing them to develop new menu items.

Training mode
In this mode, players can raise the level of a specific Staff Pokémon. As their level increases, puzzles will be easier to clear, and new menu items can be developed.

Extra Orders mode
The Main Orders of the current version have been moved to the Extra Orders. You can continue to complete those Orders in the relaunched version from where you left off.

Players will receive certain rewards when they complete specific Order numbers.
  • Order #100: Charmander
  • Order #600: Pikachu Chef costume
  • Order #1200: Lucario Chef costume

Puzzles are being revised and updated:
  1. Clearing puzzles is a three-tiered system
    • Both the Pokémon Visiting mode and Training mode puzzles have a three-tiered system for ranking how well a player has achieved the objectives of the puzzle. Clearing a puzzle at 1☆ will now be easier than before, while clearing at 3☆ is harder than before.
  2. More exciting puzzles and introducing the new Specialty Gimmicks
    • Each Pokémon has its own Specialty Gimmick, a power which helps to clear puzzles, such as the ability to clear certain Gimmicks that appear in a puzzle in one shot. As your Pokémon's level increases, they will learn more Specialty Gimmicks and be able to clear more Gimmicks.
  3. Cheer Rush are stronger and Megaphones can be combined
    • The Cheer Rush are powered up, and up to 4 Megaphones can now be combined and used in a single move. The strength and direction of the Megaphones will differ depending on how you combine them.
  4. Changes to the stamina system
    • The hearts required to attempt an Order will be changed to stamina. 1 stamina unit will now always be used up regardless of clearing or failing an Order.
    • The recovery time will be reduced from 30 minutes per heart to 15 minutes per stamina unit. Stamina will be able to be recovered or obtained in other ways in the future.
    • Time-based stamina are being introduced which prevents stamina loss for 30 minutes when used.
    • It will now be possible to send stamina between Team members. There is a limit to the amount of stamina you can receive from a single Team member daily.
New Pokémon and Outfits are being added:
  1. After the game is relaunched, a number of events will be held one after another, introducing new Pokémon to the game.
  2. As your Staff Pokémon level up, you will be able to get different colors of Outfits.
  3. Different Outfits will be constantly added to the game via gifts during events, the "Premium Pass" and the "Pokémon Outfit Pack".
Additional feedback from the closed β:

During the closed β in Japan, applicants voted on which Pokémon they wanted most to be added to the game. These are the top 5:
5th place - Charizard
4th place - Ditto
3rd place - Yamper
2nd place - Jirachi
1st place - Mew

As the direct result of this poll, Mew will be appearing as a customer in a special event immediately after the relaunch. Mew will also have a unique Skill if it joins the Staff.
