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!

YES we can underwater battles
Just like sky battles but only water types can fight
What about Underground Battles?
save it for sinnoh when undergound returns

TO EVERYONE:
I’d like to announce my third Pokemon Fangame. Pokemon: REBORN.
This is a COMPLETELY new Pokemon game. There is nothing traditional about this game. This is a completely new Pokemon game, with new approaches in all ways. Suggestions can be tagged to this Disqus comment.
Yo Sparky can you give me you minecraft info?
68.104.70.128 is the IP.
Thanks i want to tweak my skin to look more “Earthen”
I believe Skrelp will be found in Hoenn region if we dive underwater. This will be the way we obtain its hidden ability Adaptability. Find a horde of skrelp underwater and 1 of them has the chance of having HA
also in addition to this when you complete the national dex and get the gift johto pokemon, they will ahve their secreat hidden ability
Since Brendan is from Johto, and XY gave us two starters before 2nd badge, I think it’d be nice if we get to choose Hoenn starters, and than when we beat Brendan in rustboro he gives us a Johto starter before we go off to mr briney’s cottage and he’ll tell us to train it up in the petalburg forest
HOLDING THEIR JOHTO MEGA STONE!
YESSS!!!! Or since steven stone originally gave us johto starter AFTER beating the game, maybe Steve Stone will give us the Johto Mega Stone of our starter after beating the game…
Or maybe Steven will give us Metagrossite when we beat the elite 4 haha
steven doesnt give us the starter he gives you beldum
birch gave you the johto starter after completing the national dec
WHICH IN THE REMAKE WILL HOLD ITS MEGA STONE!

Back in Shoal Cave

Your Starter mega be found underwater and the other two are found when give a hiker an item he has wanted *requires dive*
ahhhh I know what I did… I confused steven with his appearance in HGSS where he gives us a hoenn starter lol
With all this reamke talk, no wonder its taking so much time for game freak! they have alot of things to incorporate and change.
good point. didn’t think about that lol. Plus they’ve been at it for years though so they shouldn’t take that much longer hopefully
My Minecraft name is SteliosBogdan. If you come on my server and see that name don’t be startled.
I’m gonna need help in the volcano for a sec 😀
KK. 😀
Mine is Superthor94 since we share an account between the three brothers
Another thing to consider.
Would it be possible that Mt. Chimney has erupted destroying Lavaridge Town….but created some kind if new land mass….
idk since they already have a route full of ashes
I always enjoy natural disasters making new places in games.
Iwonder if the remake will include rollar skates
hmm I wonder as well… How will they go about Acro Bike and Mach Bike… wonder if they’ll merge it into one.
thinks about jumping rollar skates >:3
