About Pokemon Puzzle Challenge

Pokemon Puzzle Challenge is a puzzle game released on September 21, 2000, for the Game Boy Color, and it was later made available on the Nintendo 3DS. It was developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo and Gradiente. The game is part of the Pokemon Puzzle and Puzzle League series and carries the Pokemon franchise name. It is rated E for Everyone and PEGI 3, and it is also tagged with platform and strategy elements along with a kids theme.

Players work from a side view to remove colored blocks that rise from the bottom of the screen. Swapping neighboring blocks in a row lines up groups of matching tiles, which then vanish and let gravity drop the rest into place, so chain reactions can form. The game offers single player and multiplayer modes, and the single player options include a challenge mode against a computer opponent where clearing blocks sends garbage to the other side.

The story is set in the Johto region, where Pokemon characters appear alongside gym leaders as the player works toward the title of Pokemon Puzzle Champion. Multiplayer play is supported for head-to-head battles between two players.
