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!

GG
GG 😀
GG!
Good game
Is Fake Out worth it on Mega Medicham? Or should I replace it with Fire/Ice Punch?
I guess if you want to mega evolve easier so you get fast enough, but other than that no reason.
Ok, thanks
YUS! Now I’m only missing 1 more vivillon form. I think it’s sandstorm.
anyone on?
Everything became silent all of a sudden
I swear evreyon uses the same team of Togekiss , Washtom, greninja with protean, Aegislash, and Charizard. this makes pokemon look bad
There is like no originality anymore
I know D:
I choose random pokemon from my box
of course…REAL random. I bet everyone has gone through at least 3 consecutive battles of this team online in random macthup
Plus I don’t run the generic sets
If you think about it my aegislash is holding a metronome
Theres 2 many washtoms…
lol…thats what i do
i dont use 3 of what you said.
I am guilty of using Wash Rotom on occasions….but i do like to mix it up every battle…
I wish i could use some different pokemon, but i don’t want to lose almost every battle

Hello, everyone! What’s going on in the Jungle?
John XD
Regi! 😀
I’ve been in the mood for a battle with you, a fun one xD
I haven’t played in a while, so I’m not sure if it’ll be a “fun” one
Same actually! I just started playing this saturday xD I’ve basically been playing link between worlds, bravely default and fire emblem for the past 3 months, but for some reason I’ve been in the mood for pokemon this week xD.
*Friday
Quite the list! I just finished inFamous: Second Son like 5 minutes ago, but give me about 10 minutes to finish up some things in that game and we can “battle” xD
sweet xD
Actually, add 10 minutes. My dog needs to go for a walk xD
Whenever you are ready, no need to rush. xD
A new member!

Hey Timo
Hey Earthen
So what’s new in the hood
Lol. Nothing much XD
Yeah nothing too exciting on my end
Hatched a 6IV Adamant Golett….high point of my day
Cool, I’ve sorta given up on Pokemon until a new main series game is announced though, also there is a chance I might do a White 2 Nuzlocke… But I can’t seem to find time for it… 🙁
We’ve all been there
I feel like restarting Dark Moon maybe even Kid Icarus
since i’ve hit a snag in the competitive scene
My home boy Tristan is going to let me borrow Starfox Adventures that’ll be interesting for a week
Hmmm, the main reason I can’t find time is cos I’m so hooked on Final Fantasy X HD
I’ve never really been a fan of Final Fantasy
Thats okay, I never really played much Final Fantasy before too, I only got so hooked on it recently really… So I’m not much of an expert here… XD

Refresh for the image… Ugh
I’m confused, and I was there when it happened .-.
Lol yeah! It was funny and sad at the same time(or something like that)
Something like that. Didn’t you want to give it to those youtubers?
Yeah, that was the funny bit, Skiddo raged at us for that, but the sad bit was him temporarily leaving lol
This was the night of Linda. 😛
Yes, but I don’t know what he’s talking about, and I was there when he posted it.
He’s talking about a TV show i think
When did you evolve Archy? :O
A long time ago lol
I never noticed
??
Lionblaze, explain please.
kk bby. When I got my phone, I kept on getting calls from people looking for Linda. Turns out I have the former number of Linda. The night Gooms is talking about was when it reached its limit with calls for Linda. And I raged about it here lol
Yep…no idea

You play as a character with two friends: Chris and Miranda.

There has also been strange climate changes throughout the region.

More to be revealed soon!
Wow! So im guessing we go the other way around this time?
You go from Santalune to Snowbelle!
Thats what I meant, anyways I really like this a lot!
Thanks!
Wait, what about Diantha?
You’ll see soon!
Is she evil?
O_O She and Malta are *plot twist* twins and also leaders of Team Flare 2.0!!
Nooooo I want Malva to be good honestly XD But its just a theory lol
I want Malva to work for Team Flare then betray them and, uh, do something. Idk.
But Team Flare already broke, and it broke even more if you’ve done the Looker missions, I would really like something like a ‘Behind the Scenes’ Team that was controlling Team Flare
Oh yeah forgot about that. Team Rocket.
Nah TR doesn’t cut it, TF had bigger ambitions than TR imo… Also it could be like The Protagonist works with Malva to stop the behind the scenes team?
There’s a theory that Team Rocket is good and knew of all of the other team’s plans, and tried to oppose them, I guess.
To protect the world from devastation: Flare.
To unite all peoples within our nation: Magma/Aqua.
To denounce the evils of truth and love: Plasma.
To extend our reach to the stars above: Galactic.
Or something like that.
Nope!
She’s your actual mom. O_O
No lol
But plot twist XD
She’s your dad? XD
She’s the professor?
She’s his bro?
*sis?
Then the protagonist must be the most jealous person in the world
:O Ohhhh!!!
Diantha is getting all the fame, and the Protagonist isn’t even mentioned. Ever.
Places not plages****
LOL Much Plague Such Spritzee
So in my platinum I am gonna battle gyms like the anime and use the same number of pokemon
:O you’re giving sinnoh another go 😀
Alright Regi yous ready?
ready xD
I will admit i’m a little nervous
But the excited nervous
Don’t be! xD
Well I cannot forget when you grassed my ass last time and wouldn’t stop switching
I read that as grabbed. XD
Dammit it’s like jumping the border trying to find a battle when i’m bored -_-
Oh hey
