Who's bought or played Pokemon Trozei thus far? I know some of us have, so it's about time the poor game was given a topic 
I'll admit up front that I haven't played Trozei all that much yet. As of now, I'm about ready to take on the second boss. Either way, that's given me enough of an impression of what the game is like.
Trozei is similar to other puzzlers in some ways yet unique in others. I've heard others refer to it as a take off Yoshi's Cookie and Zoo Keeper, and IMO its also a bit like Meteos. Regardless, the crux of the gameplay is like no other puzzle game I've personally played, which makes it pretty fun and worth the experience.
Like with most any Pokemon spinoff, completing the PokeDex (aka. Trozei list) keeps you going back. Since the gameplay is fairly quick and easy, yet varies each time you play, it's nothing to redo a stage you've already beaten in attempt to Trozei Pokemon you previously missed. Once you encounter a Pokemon on a stage its data is logged into the Trozei list, so tracking them down at a later date is no problem either.
Some people have complained about the graphics but I think they give the game style. I find the cut scenes funky (it's a neat art style ^^) and the plot is decent enough for a puzzler. Seriously, you can't really nor should expect anything more
Music quality? Decent. It doesn't really stand out but, again, it doesn't really have to. Easy on the ears, and that's all that really matters.
Now, addiction... I know some people say they've become really addicted to the game but I personally can't say I have. It's good alright, and fun to pick up and have a go at, but I don't find myself compelled to play it anymore so than my other puzzlers. Truth be told, I found Puyo Pop Fever much more addictive ^^;
Summed up, if you like puzzlers and Pokemon, Trozei is definitely worth the buy. If you're iffy on the puzzle genre or find that you've already been "puzzled out" by all the other ones on DS, you may want to pass on this one. I dunno... A good Pokemon puzzle game is always fun (simply for the fact that it's Pokemon), but Trozei really isn't that outstanding compared to other DS games available.
But maybe that's just my opinion. Any takers?
Btw - Trozei (or Pokemon Link) is out May 3rd in the UK/Europe.
