Hey those pokeomon puzzle league players, if you guys still exist!

This will be be the discussion place where we discuss one of our favorite old school games, aka, ppl.

Some of you may remember this game being very similar to tetris attack for the snes, such as I, only to discover that there has been a remake made the n64.

Let's unite and discuss strats on how to break crazy scores like 60k!!!

Post videos, who's your favorite to use in the game like electron with pokemon trainer Lt. Surge, or is it magmar with Blaine, "when your hot, your hot"

This was one of favorite games of all time, and still is top 5 in my list.

azen gameplay:

Me and metroid beat this score, and it was pretty funny, I think it's recorded on my copy on ppl, and what's even funnier is that I still lost, WTF, lol.

Does anyone know the OFFICIAL single and vs player world records?

You've broken 60k? I've seen a 72k before, but the best I've ever done was 48.

lol, almost, I wish I had just a half a second as I had a 12 plus chain, good times.

72k just sounds so godlike, wow, he must of been lucky as well. lol, but, getting 72k must also require a riduculous amount of of skill

PPL is my favorite puzzle game of all time; it's a perfect blend of pattern recognition and technical skill. I wish I still had my N64 copy, the only way I can play now is via my emulator.

I've broken 60k before but don't have it recorded... but I have a video of me getting 56k: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D6s4LM-OOI

I thought everyone knew by now that Azen is just really good at video games in general.

He's a big puzzle game fan in particular. Extremely good at all of them, as far as I know. Meteos and tetris attack in particular.

on topic: i like tetris attack,but i'm awful at it. plain tetris is more up my alley

This game is still amazing.

And it's a clone of Tetris Attack, so of course Azen would be good at it.

Meteos is amazing too.

PPL doesn't suffer the frame slowdown that TA does on a real SNES, and has subtle differences in physics that don't really come into play unless you start doing super multi chains on the level of Tsumori, or play VS mode much. Its 1P TT mode also defaults at five colors, rather than the six seen in TA's 1P TT mode. As far as scoring goes, it continues scoring and counting past x13 chains, as opposed to TA giving 0 points for chains of greater than x13. Combos give slightly more points in PPL than they did in TA.

I've seen frame slowdown in PPL, though there are two possible conditions for it:
1. In a 2-player game, both players clear garbage blocks at the same time.
2. Play 3D mode.

But the basic gameplay is the same, which is what I was getting at.

I love Puzzle league, but I can't seem to improve my scores on it anymore. I can barely average 8K as it is =(. I think it has to do with how I look at patterns, and have too much of a habit of looking at one specific pattern and can't seem to shake myself out of that one to look for others.

I've only seen screenshots of the game, and it just looked like tetris. I couldn't see what it had to do with pokemon.

It has plot points taken from the show/movies, and you play as Pokémon trainers and use Pokémon for each "battle" (even though the Pokémon you choose is fairly irrelevant).

The gameplay is pretty much identical to Tetris Attack, yeah. I don't really see why the gameplay would have much to do with Pokémon, though, as spin-off titles usually don't have terribly much to do with the original concept.

Hell yes I am glad this topic exists! I still play this game. Been working a lot lately so I haven't had much time to play. I am mediocre at best. Anyone going to Apex? I am bringing a 64 with a copy of Pokemon Puzzle League.

PS: Sight, do you want to play IRL? Erad also lives in Vegas and is good at this game. Do you live near UNLV?

In my opinion Pokemon Puzzle League has the best controller and gameplay. My personal favorite to play is Panel de Pon for the Japanese Gamecube. It has the best artwork and music. Plus 4 players is always awesome!

I know we don't get a whole lot of thread traffic so it can be hard to tell, but please check the last post date before you make a post like that responding to somebody.

There are no other threads, but if the past thread is this old you can just make a new one. (Though now that you've bumped it, just stick with this one.) And if you are going to bump the old thread, it's generally better to have a post of more substance to do so.
