Pokémon Trozei!
Pokémon Trozei (known as ポケモントローゼ Pokémon Trosé in Japan and Pokémon Link! in Europe) is a puzzle game for the Nintendo DS. It was released in Japan on October 20, 2005, in North America on March 6, 2006, and in Europe on May 5, 2006.
Gameplay
Pokémon Trozei is a variation of Yoshi's Cookie-style gameplay. The blocks are symbols shaped like various Pokémon. These blocks fall from the top screen down to the bottom screen (assuming that the bottom screen is not full, in which case they will stack up in the top screen). The symbols will disappear when four of the same symbol are in a row. Symbols can be swapped by moving a row or column up, down, left, or right with the stylus.
To get a Trozei, you must line up four of the same Pokémon in a row. (Ditto works as a 'wild card' Pokémon that can match up with anything.) You can only make Trozeis on the bottom screen, however - if there is a match up on the top screen, you will have to make the symbols fall before the Trozei will go off. Once you get these 4 Pokémon matched up (either horizontally or vertically), the 4 Pokémon will leave the screen. Then the bottom screen's background will turn green and give you a Trozei Chance. When it does, then you have a short period of time to match up 3 or more Pokémon in a row. If you do this, then any combination of 2 or more of the same Pokémon (and Ditto) will go off, and disappear from the screen. (This also allows new combinations like L and T shapes, or even huge chunks of Pokémon at once, in Simultaneous Trozeis.) This lasts for as long as you can keep pulling matches together, though the Trozei Chance gives you less time to make combos at higher game levels. If you succeed in pulling together all the Pokémon on the screen (or if they just happen to all get combo'd away so that there are no Pokémon left on either screen) you will get a Trozei All bonus for 10,000 points.
Adventure mode
Pokémon Trozei has a story mode, which 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.
Gameplay is similar to the other modes, and Lucy must win at games of Trozei to defeat the generals. However, she also has the ability to send in her own Pokémon to affect the game. At first, she only has Aipom and Manectric, but she will also get other Pokémon such as Ditto.
Beating the Story Mode unlocks a harder Story Mode. Beating this mode will unlock Forever Mode, which is a bigger grid and requires you to connect 5 Pokémon to make a Trozei.
Pokédex
Pokémon Trozei has a side mission of completing the National Dex. To get a Pokémon's entry, the player must do a combination with their symbol in Adventure Mode, and then send them back to Professor P.
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 Phobus Army has the Pokémon in the same place that the second player found it, and the Pokémon can now be found. Each player is assigned a rare Pokémon on their Agent Card. It is unknown if this can be changed are not, making it extremely difficult to find Legendaries.
Another way to find rare Pokémon is to challenge a character called Mr. Foo. Mr. Foo is a collector, who collects Poké Balls that fall out of the Phobus Army's planes. For prize coins, 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. Foo.
