This game is just like Tetris Attack. It's pretty fun, but why get it when you can get Tetris Attack fsr Super Nintendo or Game Boy far a lot cheaper. If this didn't have the Pokemon Licence, it would draw no attention

I bought the game for my 4 children... ages 5 through 11... boy were we all shocked when we actually played it! It was not much fun for the kids at all!! it is basically one game, Tetris presented a few different ways with different characters decorating the screen... My kids played about an hour and have not touched it since, what a waste. My husband and I played for a bit longer but we too soon lost interest! Don't waste your money, to many other games out there that are better!

May be too hard to conquer, but it's worth a rental.

.... it has the exact same difficulty level as the Game Boy version does. (Too hard!) The graphics and sound are the only good parts of this game....

What happened?!?!?!?!??!?

Wow! This game is exactly like Tetris Attack. (a super nintendo game released a few years ago) And that was REALLY addicting! This time, though, it's all about pokémon. It has lot's of pictures from the show appearing as backgrounds and the intro scene is just like the beginning of the Kid's WB tv show! If you played tetris Attack, you'll really like this game. even if you don't like pokémon, there is a new version of gameplay with a 3-D cylindrical game wall. This game is really fun!

Please stop the voices in my head

Just when I thought there were no good puzzle games for my soon-to-be-antique N64, I broke down and bought Pokemon Puzzle League, because the box made it look like a decent variation on Tetris. I know almost nothing about Pokemon, and at first I got scared that I would have to learn a bunch of mindless information like names of creatures and spells and tricks and whatnot. And the game has a lot of the Pokemon theme; various dialogues talk about the trainers and monsters and other confusing stuff that would make perfect sense to a seven year old kid.

Luckily, this has nothing to do with the game itself. Basically, you have a variation of tetris where you need to connect three or more blocks of the same color, either across or up and down. You can move a cursor and swap two blocks that are next to each other. And an empty block causes all of the ones above it to "fall" into place. Pretty simple stuff, and there's a practice mode, plus a few simple and slow modes, but then the pace picks up, and the blocks accumulate from underneath, eventually making the pile collide with the ceiling, ending the game.

There are a few twists to keep the game interesting; there's a two-player mode where you can add junk to your opponent's screen by completing lines. There's also a 3-D mode where the blocks are "in the round", making it very hard to keep track of all of the new blocks while removing old ones. The whole think is thematically linked to a Pokemon map, with the games in a stadium, the practice stuff in a university, and so on.

The play on this game is excellent, with smooth controls and good sound effects. I quickly became addicted to this game, trying to push my score just a bit higher with each try, but the theme music drives me nuts. The only reason I am not giving this game five stars is that I had to stop playing and get the music out of my head. Otherwise, this is an excellent puzzle game - one of the funnest implementations of Tetris I've ever played.

An addicting puzzle game with a Pokémon theme.

Pokémon seems to have taken over the world. Just when you thought they have run their course, Pokémon comes out again with a new, and this time entirely different genre of game. We have seen the RPG, Collectible Card Game, Tournament Fighter, and now puzzle genre. What's next?

Pokémon Puzzle League is like Tetris, but more akin to Dr. Mario in that you must match up colors or symbols to create chains and combos by clearing lines. Another difference that PPL has over the other classic games is the scrolling up of entire rows instead of the falling bricks or pills. This innovation makes the game much more intense and maniacal the faster the wall builds. Soon you will be in a trance as you find yourself clearing lines faster than the wall can build, a truly wonderful feeling.

With all this intense action comes the mystical world of Pokémon. Depending on the trainer you choose, you get the choice of 3 different Pokémon. The Pokémon serve no purpose but as background wallpaper or in a 2-player game, a tally of sorts, they are nice to have around. Since you do have to stare at these saccharin sweet pictures throughout your game experience, it would help to be a fan of the series.

One complaint I do have about the game is that once I start, I can't stop playing. Like Tetris it will keep you occupied for long periods of time, the result being visions of chains and combos long after you stop playing. And don't even think about trying to go to sleep without seeing or playing imaginary games of it. Definitely worth your time if you are a puzzle fan, a great game to get you started in gaming. You'll realize just how much strategy and excellent eye-hand coordination is need to play these and other genres of games.

Not only for the young, but only for the young at heart...

I'm 24 and I loved this game. I don't tend to like shooting or racing games; I like the ones with stories, characters, scenery, strategy. Yes, this game is easy, but it really is fun. You drive in a cart (you don't get to control the cart, though; it's like a ride at an amusement park: it just goes) through various environments (beach, river, valley, volcano, etc.) trying to get pictures of different Pokemon. Some are out in the open and easy to shoot, some won't appear without lots of experimentation and/or observation and strategizing. The goal is to get the best shot you can of each different Pokemon. When you get to the end of a level, you pick which pictures you want to show to the Professor for whom you're working. He rates them on different qualities and stores them for his report. You can go back to each level as often as you like trying to get the best pictures. A simple game with fun graphics.

you will be tempted to play this obsessively, but don't!

With puzzle-type games, it's easy to start an addiction. Especially with games as fun as Pokemon Puzzle League. It's a basic and familiar premise: match up 3 or more blocks of the same color and watch them disappear. Based on this simple idea, several different types of 1-player modes were created, as well as a 2-player mode. All are fun to play, and some of the 1-player modes are quite challenging.
Now about my addiction... err... the possibility of addiction... If you constantly play this game (espceially the 1-player mode), you will get too good at it, and the challenge, as well as the fun, will be lost. Fortunately for you, this should take many many months during which you will enjoy several games with your friends and by yourself.
