Pokemon Trozei

With the upcoming release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, I am going to be taking a look at some of the non-traditional Pokémon games that have been released on the Nintendo DS over the next few weeks, starting with Pokémon Trozei.

From the review: "Around ten years ago, Nintendo released some of the better Pokémon spin-off titles, Pokémon Puzzle League and Pokémon Puzzle Challenge, for the Nintendo 64 and GameBoy Color respectively. These games were Pokémon-themed versions of Panel de Pon, and therefore were excellent. When the Nintendo DS was released, a new puzzle-based Pokémon was created. Instead of drawing upon Panel de Pon as the inspiration, this time they seemed to draw more from Yoshi's Cookie. This new game may have gone in a different direction, but it didn't completely suffer from that."

Meteos

This week's DS on DS review is on Meteos.

From the review: "This week, I decided to dig into the depths of releases of Nintendo DS games past, to review a game from June 25, 2005. It's one of the games that helped move the DS up near the top of my list of the all-time best systems (it has since made it to the number one position on that list, but that is a different discussion for a different time). I am talking about Meteos, a block-matching puzzle game revolving around planetary destruction."
