Pokémon Trozei! (ポケモントローゼ, Pokemon Torōze, also known as Pokémon Link! in Europe) is a Pokémon-themed puzzle game for the Nintendo DS, much like Pokémon Puzzle League and Pokémon Puzzle Challenge. It was released in Japan on October 20, 2005, in Europe on April 28, 2006, in South Korea on May 17, 2007, and in North America on March 6, 2006, where its marketing jingle was "Pokémon, Trooo-Zei! Four in a row and you're good to go!".

Gameplay

Pokémon Trozei! is a variation of Tetris-style gameplay. However, it also has gameplay similar to that of Yoshi's Cookie. The blocks are symbols shaped like various Pokémon. These blocks fall on to both screens; however, only the blocks on the bottom screen can be moved and matched. The player can move the blocks to the left and right, and the Pokémon that was moved off the edge of the screen returns to the opposite side of the screen. The blocks can also be moved downward, and the blocks on the bottom will fall to the top of the column. The blocks can be moved upwards, but will immediately fall back down if a match is not made. If four of the same Pokémon are in a row, a match is made and those Pokémon will disappear.

After a match of four is created, a Trozei Chance (or Link Chance) Icon will come up. When that happens, match-ups of three Pokémon are allowed for a short amount of time, normally two seconds. If a match of three is made during that time, match-ups of two Pokémon are allowed as well for as long as the player continues to make links every two seconds.

The Pokémon Ditto will also commonly appear as a block, and the player can use him as a "wild card" and match him with any other Pokémon, or even with multiple types simultaneously. Lining up Jammer balls (rocks) with Ditto is the only way to get rid of them during boss stages. While Ditto appears randomly during levels, one also drops when the player links up more Pokémon than needed (e.g. 5 instead of 4) in general play.

Phobos Battalion

The Phobos Battalion is the new enemy of this game. They have stolen countless Pokéballs in order to power up a secret weapon. Unlike most Pokémon villains, there are only generals in the game, no underlings. They have many secret storages and huge storage (that contains many more Pokémon than the secret storages) and six Phobos Mobile that contains a General that the player must defeat in order to move on.

They have a clever maneuver to attempt to confuse the player. In the game, the player has a number of Pokémon to Trozei. Phobos Battalion Generals use a Jammer Flash that only lets the Pokémon's shadows to be seen, add 50 more Pokémon to Trozei'd, and will use Jammer Balls, which look like rocks, to try to block the player's Trozei. The only way to get rid of the jammer balls is to line them up with Ditto.
