| Pokemon Trozei / Nintendo DS : 3 of 5 | |

 My favorite kind of game is easy to learn, but stays fun after lots of playing, and Pokemon Trozei definitely has those qualities! I was interested in this game before it came out, but after reading some so-so reviews I held off a while, but I had to use some Best Buy Reward Zone money, so I finally got it. Even though I'm actively playing a couple of other DS games, this one has still been getting a ton of attention (sometimes for up to an hour straight, which leaves me seeing little Pokemon heads whenever I close my eyes)! The puzzle aspect is really simple - you just slide rows of Pokemon to match four faces vertically or horizontally, which "captures" them. After you make a capture with four in a row, you can quickly make one with three in a row, and then two, so you can get multiple captures really quickly. All of this is under a time limit, and you have to worry about the playing field filling up (like Tetris). There's a story mode that provides a Pokemon background to the whole thing, and it's kind of fun infiltrating "storage facilities" to gather the Pokemon that the villains have captured, culminating in really hard boss levels where the bad guys mess with your game while you play! The graphics are pretty cool (I love the little iconic Pokemon faces), and the background music is a really nice techno soundtrack. I'm not too psyched about the cartoon quality of the characters in the story, but they still have a fun Powerpuff Girls look to them. I definitely want to keep playing to work on my list of Pokemon (I have about 30% of the possible ones so far), and I've got to beat all the bosses, too!
