Pokémon Battle Trozei!/Pokémon Link: Battle! Announced

An all new downloadable Pokémon game for the 3DS has been announced in today’s Nintendo Direct: Pokémon Battle Trozei.

The game is known as Pokémon Battle Trozei in the US and Pokémon Link: Battle! in Europe and contains all 718 Pokémon. Gameplay is essentially that of older Trozei games, but this time features co-op for up to 4 players. It will be available to download from the eShop on March 20 in the US, March 13 in Europe and March 12 in Japan. The price will be $7.99.

The game also features new mechanics. The Pokémon you’re trying to capture is featured above the box and your matching will gradually weaken it. After you reduce its HP to zero it can be caught. Caught Pokémon can then be copied via Street Pass to friends!

What do you think of this new Trozei sequel? Let us know!

  1. “LOL! @ people complaining no Pokemon or Smash Bros., they didn’t see it all! XD ( #NintendoDirectNA live at…”
    What do you mean by that?

  2. 3 articles in one day??
    What is the world coming to?!
    And I’m not too interested in this game tbh.
    The only thing that excited me in the Direct was the Little Mac announcement.

  4. 2 thing I want in the next game. . .

    Battle a Pokémon.. like Mewtwo
    An ability that gives a slight chance for the damage a Pokémon has just taken being given back to the other Pokémon.. like a ricocheting bullet
    Also in the anime..
    A Froakie with protein should have his frubble change colors depending on what type he is.. like it would have a slightly red tent if fighting

  5. So, I’m at school today, and my phone’s music goes off for some reason, and it was Diantha’s theme. It started Hoenn Gym Leader reference part, and as I turn it off, some kid comes up to me and says “Hurrn cunfurrrmed” I am not kidding.

  6. That awkward moment when you turn on your Pokemon Ruby version and step into the grass, and find a Shiny Kecleon.

    Then you think it’s a glitch and restart the game.

    God dang it younger me.

  7. I just saw the Direct.

    It wasn’t the best, but DAMN I jumped out of my seat and almost cried when two of my childhood games from the GameBoy Advance are coming to the Wii U ;D
    I predicted something Pokemon-related today and we got it (game looks amazing by the way), Govnah predicted Little Mac, NES Remix 2 pisses me off since I don’t even have the first one, the amount of eShop games is astounding, and the Koopalings are a nice addition. Whew.

  10. Okay, so this is battle spot logic: I send out Weavile, he sends out Garchomp. He stays in, mega evolves, and takes an ice punch to the face.

  12. I know we talked about Diancie having clear body yesterday, but I just realized Carbink has clear body as well. An even greater similarity 0_0

    I’m definitely getting Manaphy situation all over again from this. Breed Diancie to get Carbink’s!!!

  13. Just a question… do you guys think they’ll start doing missions for event legendaries instead of just Getting them from a delivery guy, they could do cool stuff with diancie

  14. @Nathan:disqus you bring up an excellent point the the last and only pokemon in Gen 5 that had special way of getting it was Victini

  19. Do you guise remember the lonely old man from Anistar City? I let him borrow my cute little spewpa (That i got from wonder trade cause i thought it wasn’t worth letting him borrow one of my stronger pokemon) Turns out that he dies .-. But he leaves a note expressing his gratitude. I REALLY hope none of you left him something like a Hypno, Banette, or Honedge .-.

  20. I just realized…maybe we’ll get Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team on the Wii U eShop! I would LOVE that because I never had a chance to play it, and there is a certain lonesome Pokemon present in the game…

  21. I’m going to replay Yoshi’s Island and Superstar Saga over and over and over and over and over and over again once they come out in April. Sorry I haven’t gotten over it yet, but it’s my two most important childhood games brought into possible HD on the best home console I could ever ask for ;D

  23. Fairly related to Hoenn day… the fate of Ludicolo in competitive Pokemon:

    Smogon 5th Gen: They banned Drizzle + Swift Swim in OU, making Ludicolo viable only in RU… and Ubers!
    VGC up to 2013: Politoed + Ludicolo is an awesome start.

    Smogon 6th Gen: Ludicolo isn’t making big in OU or Ubers thanks to rain nerf. Drizzle (and to be fair, Drought as well) banned in UU. Not looking good.
    VGC 2014: Ludicolo + U-turn or Volt Switch user with Politoed in the back is the standard Charizard Y counter.

  24. There are three things I need in life to be a complete human:
    1.) Fawful in Smash
    2.) Jill (Drill Dozer) in Smash
    3.) Hurnn cunfurmed.

    D-U-N done.

  25. Well, now that I’ve finished training 8 more team members competitively, I can finally get back to MM breeding. Shiny Phanpy here I come!

    • It started when I was reduced to my Hitmontop. I have to say though, for a team that was randomly thrown together, this one works pretty good.

  26. I would love to know what is so exciting in my suite mates room that causes them to scream and shout (and let it all out) so loud that it shakes the walls.

  27. Oh man…I really liked Trozei, and this actually made it more interesting! Plus its an eshoo game, not something you pay thirty bucks for. Definitely going to get this. 😀
