Haven’t purchased Battle Trozei yet? Still pondering on whether you should? Now that Battle Trozei is out for a few days, we can take a look at what all the critics have to say on it. Reviews are still slightly scarce, but I will update this post once more hit. Be sure to read the full reviews linked instead of only going by the score given!
GodIsAGeek – 5/10
Pokémon Link Battle! has a surprising amount of charm with the cute character sprites and animations, but while the gameplay is somewhat addictive to start with, it quickly becomes repetitive. Taken in tandem with the other issues, it makes Pokémon Link Battle difficult to recommend.
Destructoid – 6.5/10
Pokemon Battle Trozei is fun while it lasts, but the lack of depth will ensure that it won’t last long. If you’re a huge Pokemon fan you may enjoy the ability to catch all 718 on pure principle, but puzzle enthusiasts should look elsewhere for a long-term solution. It’s simply not as good as its predecessor, so those who are looking at getting back into the Trozei universe should proceed with caution.
PocketGamerUK – 7/10
Pokemon Link: Battle! isn’t the most inventive puzzle game from Nintendo, but it’s different enough from the throng of competitors to justify its existence, and it has a plethora of content and plenty of replay value to boot.
TheSixthAxis – 7/10
There’s definitely a nice element of exploration and collection to be had, as befits a Pokémon game, and like all good puzzle games its mechanics are welcoming, with increasing levels of depth as you gain a better understanding. Admittedly it’s never going to set the world on fire, but it’s not intended to, offering instead a relatively cheap portable gaming experience that’s a perfect fit for the device and for a large proportion of its owners.
Nintendolife – 8/10
Pokémon Link: Battle’s surprise announcement hasn’t given fans much time to get hyped up about its arrival, but it certainly deserves to find a large audience. The Match 3 puzzle action is well done, and the emphasis on building combo attacks makes it feel significantly different from other examples of this genre. There’s also the appeal of collecting all of the 718 Pokémon in the game, and while the lack of online multiplayer feels like a missed opportunity, local co-op matches with friends fill the void to an extent. Like so many puzzle titles, repetition does become an issue over prolonged periods of time, but the portable nature of the host platform makes this ideal short-burst entertainment.
NintendoWorldReport – 8/10
Pokémon Link: Battle is quite a rapid and fun puzzle game for the Nintendo 3DS eShop. With hundreds of Pokémon to collect and many levels to enjoy, this will certainly keep you busy while on the go. The multiplayer could have been better and there are some extremely minor balance issues, but that shouldn’t stop you from the enjoying the game to the fullest.
Enjoy! Now go spamming in the comments again!

That’s why I think I love it so much. It’s like returning tidbits from Oshawott came back! Some mega’s don’t change drastically
I love it alot.

Okay.
So, I just beat the main story mode of Tropical Freeze. I’m not going back to improve my 68% completion though…I didn’t enjoy the game very much.
Me and Ryan need to finish it
Good luck on Meltdown Mayhem. You’ll die a lot.
is it as crazy as sonic lost world the volcano place?
It actually wasn’t THAT bad, I mean, I died 75 times but that’s normal for this game XD
I remember doing a lot of backtracking since i’m the kind of hardcore gamer who needs to get everything in a level before moving on
I mean, I will backtrack eventually and get 200% completion but right now I am not willing to. I have other games I’d rather play.
Wow croagunk is a really easy pokemon to masuda with an actually cool shiny sprite
I want to use Toxicroak on my Brick Breakers but his weakness to Psychic and Ground leave him wide open
Sucker punch!
but sucker punch
I know but they’ll know too
Guys I have been here for months and I have never changed my name or avatar!

^^
Lol I was trying to lead to ‘im gonna change it’…
NO XD
Well I guess I won’t…
😀
My avatar has been changed many times, but my name shall never change 😀
I only changed my avatar three times
but I am and always be EarthenWarrior
Unrelated to the topic at hand…does anyone think Wii Sports Club will get a full retail release? I ask because I was contemplating buying Tennis for 10 bucks.
I dunno i’ve never paid much attention to it
Happy Unova Sunday!!
YES
I’ll never forget the day I caught Drilbur
unova was the first games i bought both games and guidebook
My unova question:
Vanillite line or Kling line
klingklang
Klink
Klink.
Vanillite,who’s with me? *crickets*
But yeah, I love Vanilluxe!
Unova question #1
Oshawott,Snivy, or Tepgi!?
Tepig <3
Lol tepgi
Anyways Oshawott!!
also its klink 😉
Lol oops
we all make mistakes 😀
We do 😀
*(W)e all make mistakes 😀
Oshawott! 😀
OSHAWOTT <3 for me
Snivy, but I really wanna use Emboar with its HA competitively. Has the most potential out of the three.
Reckless emboar is a doubled edged sword and could be easily wipped out
Superpower, Overheat, Sucker Punch, Wild Charge, with Assault Vest. Brave nature.
OSHAWOTT!
Anyone hear the cobalion theme from pokemon rumble blast? Its awesome :’)
Cant wait till WWDC and E3 tis year! i believe both are in june
E3 is my last hope for Hoenn remakes.
Mine too…
actualy not for me. cause i believe it will happen in 2015 a very significant year
Exactly.
If anything was to get announced at E3 it’d be the continuation game(s)/updates of XY
or unova 3 😉
LOL
id cry thought if gamefreak does another trolllfreak and leaks gen 7 >:(
True
I just want an announcement.
Me too
I don’t care if it gets released in 2016, I just want some confirrrmmmeedddddd
E3= Annoucement of Hoenn!!!
Pleeaaassssseeeeeee
I want it so bad ;~;
You are not the only one
i dont care what they release i just want a new game
I wish Battle Trozei was longer/ had an actual story….
It would be a 10/10 if that was the case.
Guys, apparently gen 3 is special to gamefreak, so I hope that means they’ll make it amazing
They have ‘hinted’ it sense SS/HG
Yup. And they said they were busy remaking a “GAME” that everyone loved, without an S at the end. Definitely Emerald.
THIS! Which is why I believe Hoenn will be remade in 2015 to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Emerald and the 20th anniversary of the Pokemon company.
I forgot where they said that it was special to them, my brother showed me a Bulbapedia Article that had Gamefreak talking about gen 3
and Yeah that would be awesome!!! <3
Masuda had once tweeted that Gen 3 was very special to him. Maybe that was the one. And The game director in HGSS said they were busy remaking a game that everyone loves.
Chain fishing for Skrelp :/
2015 is now my official last hope of Hoenn
