Pokémon Trozei! (ポケモントローゼ/Pokemon Torōze; also known as Pokémon Link! in Europe) is a Pokémon-themed puzzle game for the Nintendo DS, much like Pokémon Puzzle League and Pokémon Puzzle Challenge. It was released in Japan on October 20, 2005, and in North America on March 6, 2006.
Gameplay
Pokémon Trozei is a variation of Tetris-style gameplay. However, it also has gameplay similar to that of Yoshi's Cookie. The blocks are symbols shaped like various Pokémon. These blocks fall on to both screens; however, only the blocks on the bottom screen can be moved and matched. The player can move the blocks to the left and right, and the Pokémon that was moved off the edge of the screen returns to the opposite side of the screen. The blocks can also be moved downward, and the blocks on the bottom will fall to the top of the column. The blocks can be moved upwards, but will immediately fall back down if a match is not made. If four of the same Pokémon are in a row, a match is made and those Pokémon will disappear. The Pokémon Ditto will also commonly appear as a block, and the player can use him as a "wild card" and match him with any other Pokémon, or even with multiple types simultaneously.
After a match of four is created, a Trozei Chance Icon will come up. When that happens, match-ups of three Pokémon are allowed for a short amount of time. If a match of three is made during that time, match-ups of two Pokémon are allowed as well for a short amount of time.
Adventure Mode
Pokémon Trozei! has a story mode. It follows Lucy Fleetfoot as she attempts to take down the Phobos Battalion.
Lucy is working under Professor P, who is the top agent of SOL (the Secret Operation League). SOL is represented by a Solrock, while the Phobos Battalion is represented by a Lunatone.
There are four different types of stage in the Adventure mode: Research, Storage, Phobos Mobiles, and Mr. Who's Den.
The first of these, Research, acts much like a puzzle mode in that the goal is to clear the screen of Pokémon without any more falling onto the screen.
The Storage levels, which come in two varieties (Secret Storage and Huge Storage), are "normal" levels where the goal is to trozei the required number of Pokémon. The two types of Storage levels differ only in the number of Pokémon that must be trozeid.
The Phobos Mobiles are the "boss fights" where you have to beat the Generals of the Phobos Battalion at games of Trozei. During these games, the "opponent" do a variety of things. A plain white ball can be inserted as a tile, which does not match with any Pokémon except Ditto. The screen can lose its color, so only the silouetthes of the Pokémon can be seen until a Trozei is made. If the player is very close to winning, the "opponent" can add 50 to the number of Pokémon left needed to be Trozeid.
Mr. Who's Den is a sort of "bonus level" where rare Pokémon appear more often, and the playfield is also two columns wider than normal, but you have to pay a Prize Coin to play there, and games are timed at two minutes (plus allowing the current Trozei Chance to end) rather than ending after a certain number of Pokémon have been cleared.
Endless Mode
As the name suggests, this mode continues until the play area is completely filled with pieces. It is divided into many levels. You can start on any level which is a multiple of 5 that you have cleared already, and before reaching level 25, you can start fro 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20. The maximum level is greater than 65. You complete a level when you clear the necessary amount of Pokémon. When the level changes, the common and the rare Pokémon also change.
Pokédex
Pokémon Trozei! has a side mission of completing the National Dex. To get a Pokémon's entry, the player must Trozei a Pokemon in any mode.
Legendary Pokémon are very rare, but there is a way to make finding them easier. By using Espionage Mode, it is possible to link up with a player who has seen a Pokémon missing from the first player's Pokédex. Professor P will then say that the Phobos Army has the Pokémon in the same place that the second player found it, and the Pokémon can now be found.
Another way to find rare Pokémon is to challenge a character called Mr. Who. Mr. Who is a collector, who collects Poké Balls that fall out of the Phobos Battalion's planes. For 1 Prize Coin (gotten by surpassing the Target Score in any Adventure mode mission), the player can challenge him. The main difference is that there are seven columns rather than five, allowing for more possible combinations. Some Pokémon can only be found by doing well against Mr. Who.
