It seems that character was the one thing missing from great puzzle games. Now that is set to release, good old Tetris probably doesn't stand a chance.

Integrating the power of the Pokemon license with an easy to understand, yet difficult to master block stacking puzzle game seems like a great way to get younger gamers to stare at even more Pokemon images for even more hours on end.Based on the Japanese hit Panel De Pon, will have both 2D or 3D gameplay for those gamers that like to kick it retro every once in a while. Six gameplay modes including Main Stadium, Puzzle University, Mimic Mansion, Pokemon Spa, Time Zone and Marathon Field should keep players locked in and turned on to Pokemon Puzzle solving.Only two player head to head play is supported in this game, which has to be considered a step back from four player support offered by the excellent The New Tetris.
Apr 09, 2009 Ah yes, a Pokemon Puzzle game for the Game Boy Color. This is just like Tetris Attack or Planet Puzzle League. I'm good at this puzzle game so I might do a Planet Puzzle League walkthrough.
The Main Stadium mode is where players will be able to compete against the computer or a buddy. The great 'trash delivery' feature that we loved in TNT is back so you can ship horrible clumps of blocks to your opponents just when they least expect it.The mechanics of the game are nice and simple to appeal to players of all ages and levels. Match three blocks of the same color in any direction and they'll disappear giving you points. All of the blocks above the disappearing blocks then fall down accordingly. If you get a bunch of blocks disappearing and falling in sequence, that's called a combo and that's when the good stuff really begins.The main challenge of PPL will be to defeat all 16 trainers -sounds like a familiar premise- so that you can become the Pokemon Puzzle Master. The current Puzzle Master is a mysterious type so that final battle should be a doozy.Outlook: This game will be huge because Pikachu will be featured prominently on the box cover. If the game inside is even slightly more entertaining than a lump of coal, then you can expect all afflicted Pokemaniacs to devour this latest piece of the craze.As far as the quality of the game itself, there's nothing wrong with a simplified, kid oriented take on basic puzzle gaming.

The granddaddy of it all, Tetris, didn't have all of the flashy colors, fruitiness or zany noises to capture those younger gamers. We expect Pokemon Puzzle League to take the classic puzzle game to another fruity, flashy and zany level.
Pokemon Puzzle LeagueA downloadable version of the 2000 N64 game, provided through Nintendo's Virtual Console service.Get ready for a new kind of Pokemon battle where the power and speed of your brain are just as important as the strength of your Pokemon. Join Ash, Brock, Misty and many more characters from the Pokemon animated series as they gather in Puzzle Village to compete for the title of Pokemon Puzzle Master. Just match three or more blocks of the same color in any direction. Sounds simple, right? But the actual game play is surprisingly addictive and deep (chains and combos anyone?), especially when you’re facing off against a human opponent. Choose from six different modes offering a wide range of action, from story or puzzle modes to continuous play or timed play. If that’s not enough, take on the challenge in 3-D and get ready for more blocks than ever before.
