Pokémon: Ranking Every Gen 2 Video Game

4. Pokémon Tetris

Pokémon Tetris is easily the best game on the Pokémon Mini.

The thing is though if it was just Tetris and nothing else then the game wouldn't be the best game on the system by default.

If you want some vanilla Tetris action the last place you're going to go is the Pokémon Mini. No, it's the unique mechanics that have been added to the Tetris formula that makes this special.

For example, there's now pentominoes as well as tetrominoes if you play on a harder difficulty. These just offer an extra layer of challenge to the game which after you've played as much Tetris as I have is quite refreshing.

They also implement Pokémon mechanics such as monster catching. Whilst you're playing the game, lining up four lines will catch you whatever 'Mon is up for grabs at that moment.

Oh, and if that wasn't enough there's also multiplayer. If for some reason you and your friend both have Pokémon Minis and copies of this Japan-exclusive game then you're in for a good time.

Has a degree in video game development. Is kinda addicted to video games, television, and films. Probably needs some help, to be honest.
