Sounds Cool...
I read other veiws and it sounded really cool. You need to line up at least 4 pokemon unless you have a ditto along with the others. Ditto counts as any pokemon you throw in. The boss battles challenging, it's easy to master, and it sound like a really cool game.

Great game for DS.
My son love this game, it is like a memory game featuring his favorite Pokemon Characters!

Trozei
Great service. Arrived in great shape and in great time.
I haven't played the game yet. It's a present for my grandson. He's played it, loved it and wanted it for Christmas so I assume 4 stars are a good rating. He's 10.

Not impressed
This is our first experience with handheld games. The Nintendo DS Lite is fabulous; the Pokemon Trozei is not. My son is 6 1/2 years old. He quickly mastered the game (getting 4 pokemons in a row) and became quite bored. While I was looking for an "easy" game for beginners, this one was too easy...too much money for such a simple game.

Not the best for Pokemon, but a fun Puzzle Game
This game is entertaining enough. However, it doesn't have the best playback value and gets old pretty quickly. First of all, I don't like the new graphic style of the game. When I turned it on the first thing I thought of was Dexter's Laboratory. It has a very cartoonish (American-style cartoon) look to it and doesn't feel like a Pokemon game at all. Second, what's with that story? You play as some girl who is a secret agent out to get people who are trying to steal Pokemon...probably the dumbest thing Pokemon has done since...well since forever. Since when does the world of Pokemon have secret agents? It just doesn't seem to go well.

The gameplay is pretty fun. I love puzzle games, and this one is challenging and it makes you think. You control rows and colums of Pokemon that fall from the top of the screen one by one (entire rows don't fall at once, Pokemon do) and try to match them up. This is a lot like Tetris Attack in some respects, except you move the entire row or column instead of switching individual places. You have to try to clear the screen of all Pokemon. You control the Pokemon from the touch screen, but the top screen is also part of the level. If the top screen fills all the way up, you lose. Dittos are wild, and there are rare Pokemon that only appear in the levels every so often, some of which disappear quickly if you don't combo them right away. Since you have a Pokedex, the rare ones go into that collection.

I'm not really a fan of the new-school Pokemon - I liked it better when there were 151 of them and they were more creative (come on, what the heck is PINECO??). That gives me a bias against the new games to begin with. However, as a puzzle game this game is really not all that creative. It's fun for a few days and then it gets boring. You fight different "Bosses" and collect Pokemon for your Pokedex. It's fun, but this is nothing new. Check it out if you find it for a good price, but otherwise, there are much better DS games out there.
