Pokemon Trozei Ushers in Second
Decade of Worldwide Pokemon Phenomenon

Celebrating its 10th worldwide
anniversary in February, the Pokemon franchise has reached more than $25 billion
in worldwide retail sales. But the illustrious franchise is not stopping there
as it introduces its latest video game. Pokemon(R) Trozei for Nintendo DS(TM) is
available in stores now. It’s a visually mesmerizing game with highly addictive
game play for people of all ages.

The slide-action, frenzied puzzle
game is designed to be straightforward for all players. The intuitive nature of
the touch screen and stylus provides trouble-free game play for gamers of all
experience levels. With more than 380 popular Pokemon characters appearing as
puzzle pieces, now, Pokemon fans can slide a Snorlax or even "Trozei" a Torchic.

Players use the stylus to line up
four puzzle pieces in a row either vertically or horizontally. This creates a "Trozei,"
which can be converted into a chain reaction by lining up three Pokemon in a row
and then two in a row to clear those pieces from the screen. Players get higher
scores depending on how long they keep a Trozei going. But don’t let the pieces
stack up too high or it’s game over.

Through the DS local wireless
function, players can share with friends all the precious Pokemon that they’ve
added to their Trozei List. Now, friends also can share Pokemon Trozei buddy
icons, which they can add to their instant messaging index of images. And later
this month, DS Download Stations will allow Nintendo DS owners to wirelessly
download content onto their Nintendo DS system at participating retailers free
of charge. For more information about Pokemon Trozei or to download exclusive
Pokemon Trozei buddy icons or desktop wallpaper, please go to
