''Panel de Pon'' (Or ''Tetris Attack'', or ''Puzzle League,'' or ''Puzzle Challenge,'' or one of any inumerable ripoffs running around the world) is a [[Match Three Game]] published originally by [[Nintendo]], but copied (both in formula and directly) by dozens of others. While not the [[Trope Maker]] for the [[Match Three Game]], it certainly helped popularize the genre. |

Gameplay is simple. You have a screen full of differently colored blocks (also marked by different shapes). You can swap the blocks freely horizontally, but you cannot swap them vertically. Get three or more of the same block in a row, and they vanish. Get more than 3 in a row, clear multiple sets of 3 at once, or create a chain--the blocks that fall in to replace the ones that you just cleared form more sets of 3 or more--and you get more points. However, the stack of blocks is constantly growing, and if it reaches the top of the screen, you lose. While a simple formula, it lends itself well to many variants: Play until you lose, score as many points as possible in a limited time, clear all the blocks on screen with limited moves, face off against a CPU to see who loses first (with unclearable "garbage" to speed up the process)... |

* [[Artifact Title]]: ''Pokémon Puzzle League'' was so-titled because it involved Ash from the ''Pokémon'' anime joining a new type of Pokémon League--not just a Pokémon League, but a Pokémon ''Puzzle'' League. While there haven't been any Pokémon-themed entries in the series since the [[Game Boy Color]] game ''Pokémon Puzzle Challenge,'' the title stuck. |
