    Yay! Welcome Embernight! I'm currently playing Puzzle League too! I love that it has all the anime stuff! I'd definitely recommend Shuffle and Trozei! :)

    Hey, striderviper! Welcome! If you like those then I'm sure you'll enjoy the others!

    Here are some of my scores to kick things off!
    Spoiler:


    So what sort of game would you like to see in the future?

    One thing I'd like is a downloadable collection which included things like card games and fun fair games.
     
    One thing I'd like is a downloadable collection which included things like card games and fun fair games.

    I think a game containing a bunch of mini-games, like card and fair games, would be fun. I had a lot of fun playing the mini games on Pokemon Stadium, and I think they should bring stuff like this back, or expand on them. Instead of a simple Rattata mini-race, make a Mario Pokemon Kart game.

    For a more puzzle aspect, I'd like to see word or riddle puzzles used in a game. I think it would also be neat to have an adventure game, like Mystery Dungeon, but solely based on solving puzzles throughout ones quest.

    Like a cross between Mystery Dungeon and Professor Layton? That would be pretty awesome!
     
    New Challenge!

    To celebrate Wobbuffet's second week as a Try 'em Items Stage in Pokemon Shuffle we will see who can get the highest score on that stage, making use of the free Mega Start and Disruption Delay that are available this week. Check the first post for the Leaderboard and Happy Shuffling!

    [PokeCommunity.com] PokéCommunity Puzzle League! (Puzzle spin-offs chat & challenges!)

    If you haven't checked out Shuffle in a while, Wobbuffet's Try 'em Items Stage is running from 20th July to 15th August (excluding weekends) and each Monday they'll be adding to the list of items that you can try out for free!

    The latest Escalation Battle Stage, this time featuring Cresselia, ends on August 3rd.
    As before the rewards for levelling up are as follows:
    Level 5: 1 x Moves +5
    Level 10: 1x Disruption Delay
    Level 30: 1x Mega Start
    Level 50: 1x Mega Speedup
    Level 100: 1x Mega Speedup
    Some levels are also Coin Stages like the Meowth Stage.

    Kyogre has returned as a Special Stage and is available until July 31st, then the following week Groudon will return!

    The current batch of Daily Pokemon will disappear after July 31st, so catch Girafarig, Kecleon, Relicanth, Shuckle and Spiritomb while you can!

    I just got the Shuffle game yesterday. Tried out the Wobbufet round, but haven't beaten it yet. I think I need to level up my team more.

    For now, here's my high score for Puzzle League:
    Spoiler:
     
    Well, I tried out Puzzle Challenge again and it's really fun. I spent more time doing the challenge mode than actually trying to get a high score though :v I'm gonna see if I can't emulate Puzzle League as well.

    Speaking of high scores, here it is: (it was on normal btw)

    Yeah, I'm not good at Puzzle League by any means.

    EDIT: Here's my first attempt in Puzzle League:

    Yay! Thanks for posting guys! :)

    Embernight - That's great that you got Shuffle! How are you enjoying it so far? I can't seem to get your Spoiler to show though.

    striderviper - Good score! I must practice harder now!

    So are there any types of challenges that you guys would like to see?

    I was thinking maybe we could feature a game for a while and have multiple challenges for different game modes and talk about what we like about it etc.

    I was trying to think of a way to award points and stuff, but I'm not really sure what I could give as prizes. Would an extra Partner or Mega or Legendary be enough? I'll have to check with staff to see if I can do anything else.

    But for now, a New Topic approaches!

    What do you think of the music in the puzzle games? Do you ever catch yourself humming them?

    Hmm, not sure why the image isn't working. I'll try posting some more scores later. Maybe it will work then?

    The Shuffle music isn't too bad. I don't care much for the music that plays during the Litwick puzzle. It reminds me of the music that plays when you have to walk your dog on Nintendogs. I always hated that part, it took so long. That's the only song I can think of right now, as I was repeatedly playing that puzzle to level up my Dark-types.
    Puzzle League includes a lot of songs from the 2 B A Master album, which I listened to a bunch as a kid. Sometimes I find myself singing the lyrics as I play the game.
    And Pinball R/S has some pretty good music. I think one of my favorites are either the Kyogre/Groudon theme or the egg hatching theme.

    The Puzzle League music is brilliant! I sing along too! Well, I sing the few bits I know and fill in the rest with vaguely in-tune noises! The music is a great bonus in that game, especially in Marathon Mode when the games can go on forever!
    I keep getting the Shuffle music going through my head and find myself humming it sometimes, it's so catchy! Ohh, you're right about the similarity to Nintendogs, I hadn't realised that before!

    I played 3D Mode on Puzzle League for the first time today! I found it really hard but it's a lot of fun and adds an interesting twist!
     
    It would definitely be awesome to be able to pick your theme for Marathon Mode, or a medley might be nice too!

    I was going to say I've been spending way too long listening to these Playlists on YouTube but they're amazing so time well spent! :)

    Edit 2:

    Hall of Fame and Cups?!

    So I've been thinking of adding a Hall of Fame. Members would earn points in various ways to place in it. For example...

    Join club: 10 Points
    Per post: 1 Point
    Participate in an ongoing Challenge: 15 Points
    Participate in a one-off Challenge: 5 Points
    Place 1st in one-off Challenge: 6 Points
    Place 2nd in one-off Challenge: 4 Points
    Place 3rd in one-off Challenge: 2 Points
    Participate in a Cup: 10 Points
    Place 1st in Cup: 10 Points
    Place 2nd in Cup: 7 Points
    Place 3rd in Cup: 5 Points
    Place 4th in Cup: 3 Points
    Place 5th in Cup: 2 Points
    Place 6th in Cup: 1 Point
    Bonus points awarded for specific tasks that would be announced.

    For reaching certain amount of points you could get an extra partner Pokemon including Megas and Legendaries.

    I've also been thinking of doing occasional Cups in addition to the one-off and ongoing Challenges. A Cup would run for a set amount of time and feature challenges from several game modes for a particular game and whoever scores the most points overall wins the Cup and a Title under their name in the Members List e.g. Shuffle Master, Trozei Master, League Master, Challenge Master, Pinball Master and Typing Master.

    What do you think of these ideas? Any tweaks? Would it add something to the club or would it put you off? Do you think it would entice more members?

    Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

    Edit 3:

    Tweaked the first post a bit more, added Pokemon Shuffle's Darkrai stage to Current Challenges and added League Cup to Upcoming Challenges!

    New Topic!

    What do you think of the art/graphics in the puzzle spin-offs? Is there anything in particular that stands out to you?


    In general I think the puzzle games have a distinctive look and feel to them that do the games justice.

    I absolutely adore the Trozei head icons! They're so cute! I like it when a game introduces a new way of displaying Pokemon, like Rumble with the Toy Pokemon. I also like the look of the Typing Ball!

    [PokeCommunity.com] PokéCommunity Puzzle League! (Puzzle spin-offs chat & challenges!) [PokeCommunity.com] PokéCommunity Puzzle League! (Puzzle spin-offs chat & challenges!)

    Puzzle League and Puzzle Challenge stand out to me due to the use of the anime. Probably helps the games (League more so) hold up to today's standards too.

    The Pinball graphics definitely look dated though, I'd love to see a Pinball table made with the technology we have now, it'd be glorious!
     
    September in PokeCommunity Puzzle League is all about N64's Pokemon Puzzle League!

    Alright, I think I figured out how to post pictures. My Puzzle score album was set to private, oops. Here's my new score for Marathon on Normal:

    Unfortunately, now that I'm in college, I can't hook up my 64 console. I think I need different connector cables or something.

    Nice score, Embernight, you're top of the board!

    That's a shame, silly cables! Are you still Shuffling?!

    I've been trying to make custom puzzles in Puzzle League but geez am I bad at it! I think it's harder making them than solving them (which I'm not especially masterful at either)!

    But I found some cool ones on YouTube to try...



    Did anyone ever make any?

    And now you're not. And I admit, I had saved up this picture until now, I actually did this a while ago. I also beat the 1 Player mode on Hard, I have no clue how that happened... Am I good at Puzzle League? :o

    I'll do the League Cup stuff sometime later this week, probably.

    EDIT: also go change my nickname to Laguna whenever that happens mkay
