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!

Is it just me or do i just want a main series game to be announced. dont care hoenn gen 7 gen 5 trilogy. I just want the leaks and the anticipation of a new game
Well said. 100% agree. Ready for the next games whatever they may be.
next corocoro …. spinoff game leaked
I’m expecting this actually. The Pika detective game.
or phantom gate
Not just you. I would LOVE that!
It is WAY too early for gen 7, I still have to get used to gen 6 lol XD
I love the feeling of waking and checking serebii for new pokemon but that we have megas that will replace the new pokemon feeling in gen 3 remakes
when i was on vacation in florida over the summer i did everything to find a computer to check serebii XD the day i did i found out about kanto starter mega evolutions… i cried XD
I used to check serebii for new pokemon during gens 4 and 5. During gen 6 I had always checked pokejungle comments section for new info cause we had managed to get it quicker than serebii’s front page lol
I still think Rock Head would have been better for Emboar.
Maybe Mega Emboar?
Fire/Rock
Rock Head
Boost to attack and HP
too op right there
Exactly.
Call the Smogon Police.
Keep the fighting
major ground and water weakness
But it would have more potential with the rock typing.
STAB to Head Smash and no recoil.
keep the rock head
Goomy or Helix?You know what I’d pick…
claw
Root.
I love the lileep line
Its funny how nobody here cares about twithc plays emerald XD IMO its really bad so i gave up in the first hour
I was only there for the #clockcrisis
I do…
it’s just that…
those people worry me….
This is why Hoenn will happen: http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Masuda_replies_to_tweet_regarding_remakes_of_Generation_III_games
OMG YOU FOUND IT :D!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
CHESPIN 😀
CHESPIN 😀
2011…
x and y took 3 years
Game development takes time you know. And they’ve been working on other games too.
October 12, 2011.
On the exact day 2 years later, fans would fangirled and scream and yup.
MAYBE THIS WAS PLANNED?
maybe on october 12 2014 ruby sapphire or emerald remake will be released in japan
Or announced
don’t you think it will probably be released everywhere at the same time, like x and y?
How can he say, he will make something good and nothing happens? Hoenn IS coming
I have a feeling that the gen 3 remake will be amazing.
Because it will be no doubt
he wants to make “something” good 🙂
sounds like its going to be 1 game! 0_0
yay more emerald confirmation lol
Emerald sequel.
It would be amazing.
Team Aero
They ride rayquaza-mobiles in the air.
Aero Frigade
The counter is he said Ruby and Sapphire are important, he never said emerald
True. But emerald was a remake of r/s using the FRLG engine. They’d remake that over RS. Crystal & Yellow didn’t need remakes cause they used same engine with only little differences.
:O
I want the return of contests soooo bad! I have missed them!
R/S remake HAS to be either the next game or the game after. There’s just no way they can make us wait any longer than that!
Plus if sometihng like hoenn remakes leak it will definately bring popularity to pokejungle like gen 6 so win win
Does anyone here use Craydily competitively?
I did
What did you run on it?
no but i got a HA lileep in my pc if that counts
I was thinking about TC/Slippery’s Orb theory…
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Jade orb etc get replaced with mega stones. This wouldn’t be the first time they completely disbanded items.
In Gold & Silver.. you can find a Gold Berry. That item is completely disbanded gen 3 onwards. GS Ball is also a disbanded item.
Or if like in SS and HG when the Enigma Stone had the Soul Dew inside.
Could be something like that.
The Jade Orb could have the Rayquazite in it.
THIS^^^
SCREAMS!! YUS!!
Starts to imagine Mega Rayquaza Magma and Mega Rayquaza Aqua
770 base total stats, only behind the Mega Mewtwo’s 0_0
as for titles they could go simple to
Magmatic ruby and Aquatic Saphhire
or
Red ruby
and Blue Sapphire
Or Epic Emerald
or Pokemon Emeraldite
Pokemon Emerald Energy
Pokemon Emerald of life.
I want PyroRuby and CryoSapphire
Also gen 3 was the first gen Masuda took leadership of gamefreak
He won’t be slave to the blonde.
Anyone else wanna see that crazy groudon from jirachi wish maker appear in the hoenn remake as well as a form for kyogre no no oh ok
I didn’t know it wasn’t a real groudon until years after watching the movie lol. I would love to see that Groudon form in the games. As well as Primal Dialga
ANSDHNWUDN PRIMAL DIALGA MYSTERY DUNGEON….GROVYLE :'(
I never saw that movie…
IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL YOU NEED TO WATCH IT NOW
2015 will definitely be year of the green. All the emerald talk.
Then Zygarde will most definitely star in the 2015 movie and get its new form revealed. More green.
And the Zygarde will be pro-recycling. Even more green.
yarn yoshi more green
Zeruda more green
REGIIIIIII
hello there 🙂
I need to know about Endeavor O_O
PM 🙂
released on March 17 2015 even more green
XD
Does anyone else want a year of the Peach I do!
Super princess peach two pleasseeee
With daisy, Pauline, and Rosalina!
OR maybe an RPG game, and instead of maio and luigi, its Peach and daisy!
Super Peach Sisters U?
I meant like the partners in time and super star saga series but that too! 😀
Mario gets kidnapped
super princess peach says hi
DAISY IN SUPER SMASH BROS WII U IT NEEEDS TO HAPPEN
IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOREVER
In melee you could chose her as a peach costume,
then they took it away in brawl.
Daisy needs love.
You can still do that in Brawl XD
But she isn’t as detailed, she’s basically just an orange peach:cc
So this is how I think it should work.
Remember the Enigma Stone event for HG/SS?
Well, inside it was the Soul Dew.
What if something like that happened in the RSE remake(s)?
The Jade Orb would hold the Rayquazite.
The Red Orb would hold the Groundonite.
The Blue Orb would hold the Kyogrite.
what if… the enigma stone returns only to have a connection to the latiosite and latiasite like a key to go to eon island
It could most like have one of the stones as version exclusives.
I could see it at the Mossdeep Space Center.
That white rock….
white rock still shrouded in mystery
Until now
or maybe they all hold a piece of rayquazanite.
PLZ HAPPEN. I would die a happy death.
i say team magma and team aqua get colress to extract the power out of the orbs to get the mega stones
Or Lysnadre….
eeh seems to odd to have two villianous bosses in one game as a scientist makes more sense
Lysandre was the only villain to fully grasp the power of mega evolution.
Didn’t Lysandre kill himself?
Celebi event with Hold Back was another Pokemon that made me believe Emerald will be remade. They had Bridgette, from 3rd gen, give us a Green Time Traveling Pokemon. (Green for emerald, time travel for remake hint), they could’ve easily had Bridgette give us a more relevant Pokemon… or even a Pokemon from her gen. Why Celebi?
SO MUCH GREEEEN
exactly. even all the menu’s of Pokebank are green. As well as the Link option on our XY menu.
Shiny Lik reminded Trollfreak still never explained the white rock in Mossedeep.
me*
maybe in the remake/sequel we can finally see that rocket take off
Epic cut scenes
that rayquaza scene
Some people believe it has to do with Jirachi.
it DOES go with the fact that jirachi never had an ingame event in gen 3
It’d be sweet if we can fly a ship in mossdeep to an area in outerspace where we can encounter wild clefairy and elgyem
And Deoxys….
YES! And See rayquaza hovering around the ozone layer
still birth island
I don’t think those tiny little islands should return.
i wish eon isand returns but your probably right with birth island sinc ei t was included in firered leafgreen so it probably wont return as well as navel rock
I mean if we can go to a distortion world why not space lol
this!
extraterrestrial Pokemon!
THIS.
they should have like movie dlc in the remakes like destiny deoxys which triggers the mossedeep space center and a epic deoxys vs rayquaza cutscene
Which reminded me… I can’t wait to take Strange Souvenir somewhere and trigger an event. It’s killing me wondering what its for.
Oh snap just got an idea!!!!
Pokemon snap 2! 😀
this needs to happen as well. and take advantage of 3D and the camera on the 3ds
basically make it like face raiders
Lay it on us
Hello! I’m coloring Mega Licklicky, and I’ll post it soon! What’s your idea?
you coloring all of them?
Yeah. Unfortunately for you and Heavy, Zygarde and Rhyperior are probably going to be last, since I’m having some trouble coloring them.
Same coloring.
But instead of yellow rings make them orange yellowish.
remake sunday :3
So you know how in RSE Mirage Island and Sky Pillar were really close to Pacifidlog Town?
What if in all the time that it’s taken GameFreak to make this game the Sky Pillar collapsed?
It could have fallen into Route 130 and 131, connecting Mirage Island and Pacifidlog Town, turning it into Pacifidlog City!
And there would be ruins in the back of the city where the Sky Pillar used to be where you can go up to encounter Rayquaza and the evil team!
Oh jeez.
or the regi’s :O
This sounds awesome.
I can see this happening. Imagining the graphics now.. Whew!!!!!
I can’t wait to see the Abandoned Ship!
We need an interactable Avalugg that we can catch in there somewhere….
LMAO DEFINITELY!!! Avalugg sunk the titanic
Maybe throw in the ghost of Jack Dawson for the sake of it….
sadly probably wont be included since its VERY controversial
I NEED TO HEAR THAT MUSIC
YES, PLEASE YES.
Hello…..Olleh
Ole!
Olleh
I’d like to make an announcement.
speak it out dice 😀
I can go on the server now if you’d like :3
AND WHATTTTT
Please do so.
Come to the chat so it’s easier
They also probably have to put a location for regigas since all regis are native to hoenn. Probably in pacifilog city like lik mentioned
Ahh that’d be sweet. I’d like it if they also placed Keldeo somewhere… without the shiny lock on it.
Also, it’d be nice if they put Diancie in Meteor Falls, Volcanion in Mt. Chimney, and Hoopa in Mt. Pyre
I can see this. I also wonder if it’s Possible that Mt. Chimney has erupted in the meantime destroying Laveridge ….and creating a new landmass.
Also I hope Meteor falls has been excavated a lot more making it bigger and with more to explore. Maybe connecting it to new area.
Diving in 3D is going to be beautiful. There better be hordes underwater. Known as schools. Like “A school of carvanha attacked”
It will be Piranha 3D all over again…
A school of Chinchou with a super rare Relicanth occasionally.
LMAO!!!! sweet!
also walrien has to be a horde memeber as it was mentioned in a dex entry
Yup! 4 sealeo with a walrein.
probably found outside shoal cave
OMG High tides and low tides!! That’s going to be fun lol can’t wait
And like sky battles only water types can fight 😮
Seismitoad would love that!
