Pokémon Puzzle Collection brings together four types of puzzles, each with 20 levels. Every puzzle you solve adds a Pokémon to the game’s Mini Dex, with a short animation. A sequel, Vol. 2, was released in Japan only, on April 26, 2002. Here is what they contain, based on Serebii.
Pokémon Puzzle Collection
| Puzzle | Unlock | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Motion Puzzle | From the start | Rebuild a Pokémon’s picture by swapping the squares of a 4 × 4 grid. The picture is animated, more and more so as the levels go on. |
| Shadow Puzzle | From the start | Fill a silhouette with pieces, like a jigsaw puzzle; B rotates them a quarter turn. |
| Rescue Mission | From the start | Slide blocks to clear your Pokémon’s path to the exit, like a sliding puzzle. |
| Power On | After 30 puzzles | Move the pieces of a circuit to light Pikachu’s bulb. |
The first Motion Puzzles feature Poliwhirl, Teddiursa, Hoothoot and Snubbull, followed by Octillery, Sudowoodo, Shuckle and Elekid.
Pokémon Puzzle Collection Vol. 2
The sequel keeps the Motion Puzzle and the Shadow Puzzle, and adds two new puzzles: Pick Up and Stretch Puzzle. The first Motion Puzzle shows a Shellder, followed by Xatu, Politoed and Mr. Mime.
