Product Description:
Although the Pokémon aspect of Pokémon Puzzle League is purely thematic--which might disappoint lovers of Pikachu, while still warding off nonfans--the fun and challenging gameplay here makes this title one of the best in the puzzle genre.
Gameplay in Pokémon Puzzle League is a variation on the puzzle classic Tetris: players must clear blocks off the screen by switching adjacent horizontal blocks to create horizontal and vertical lines of three or more identically colored blocks. Blocks rise in rows from the bottom of the screen, and, once they reach the top, the game is over. While it's deceptively easy at first, the steadily increasing speed of the rising blocks requires players to make combos (more than three blocks in a line) and chains (creating multiple lines simultaneously), both of which pause the rise of the blocks temporarily.
Featuring six gaming modes and puzzles in both 2-D and 3-D, Pokémon Puzzle League is best played by one player versus the computer (in the Stadium) or in two-player "versus" mode. In these modes, creating combos and chains causes "garbage" blocks to fall from the top of your opponent's screen, which results in some villainously vindictive gameplay.--Joe Hon
Pros: - Fun and challenging Tetris-like game for all ages
- Outstanding two-player "versus" gameplay
- 2-D and 3-D puzzles, six gaming modes, and very thorough tutorials
- "Puzzle University" mode lets players create their own puzzles
Cons: - Pokémon aspect of the game is purely thematic

Sure, you're good at capturing and battling Pokémon, but how good are you at solving puzzles? In Pokémon Puzzle League, you're after a new hotshot, the mysterious Puzzle Master. To get him, you'll need to outdo 16 trainers in fast-paced competition. The game itself is simple enough: match three blocks of the same color and make them disappear, sending the above blocks down. You can even create combos that will add garbage blocks to your competition's pile of woes. Pokémon Puzzle League features six different modes of play, including a competitive two-player mode.

I previously owned this game but it was lost in a cross country move. Game was in excellent condition, played well right out of the packaging. Timely shipping.

I bought this 4 days ago and just received it yesterday. I ended up opening it and playing it for the whole night! When I was finished, both of my thumbs hurt (mostly my left thumb). I love it! My brother and I used to rent this all the time from Blockbuster, when N64 was still popular.
I love the gameplay. However in the different modes for the 1st player stadium, there arent enough stages. Like I wish I could play a lot of the trainers, like Misty, and then expand that out ... Read More

Pokemon Puzzle League is the familar Tetris Attack puzzle game dressed in Pokemon clothing. Rearrange tiles of similar colors to clear them off the screen. If you can chain enough combos by making similar tiles drop onto each other after the previous ones disappear, you can create "garbage" that is dropped onto the opponent's screen to hinder their progress. This formula is extremely addictive, and besides playing against friends the computer also offers several levels of difficulty and challenge. ... Read More

I love this game. I must admit I haven't seen too much of the cartoon show, but I didn't need to in order to appreciate the game. There's no denying this game is gorgeous. There are different hand-drawn backgrounds in each level of every puzzle mode, as well as impressive FMV anime cutscenes in between rounds at significant points in the game. Plus, even before the puzzle mode selection screen, you are greeted with a FMV of Ash on his way to the puzzle competition. Another reviewer noted that the mere ... Read More
