ポケモントローゼ (DS)

Or Pokémon Torouze to you, if you can’t read the Japanese. Yes, I am just showing off that I can type in katakana like on the box.

And, despite the Pokémon connection, it’s actually a very good puzzle game. So far, at least. It’s a sort of cross between Zoo Keeper and those slide puzzles. You have the usually puzzle-game-well, which starts partially filled with Pokémon heads. You slide the rows and columns to line up four or more heads, which then vanish. You can then trigger chains of just three or more, and and further chains of only two or more, groups (rather than just lines) of matching heads. There are also “joker” heads to act as any other head, and you complete levels by getting certain scores, “catching” a set number of each type of Pokémon, or by getting a particular chain length. Which one depends on the level. In Story Mode at least, and that’s all I’ve played so far. Did some of the training missions, and then moved on to the proper missions. I’ve just defeated the first boss too, which went on a bit (probably as I didn’t know what the “trigger” was to complete it – seemed to be a chain of 10 or something in the end).
