I am stuck on one of them in Brock's set.

Added DiffLines:

* ThatOneLevel: A number of the Special Action levels for the University in ''Pokémon Puzzle League'' fall under this. You need to have frame perfect inputs to rearrange the panels so that they fall with the right timing to be cleared together for a four or five combo rather than a regular clearing of three panels.

* IKnewIt: The moment ''[[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo2 Super Puyo Puyo 2]]'' (a game exclusive to the Super Famicom beforehand) was included on the Nintendo Switch's Online Service for Super Nintendo games (despite being untranslated) instead of something like Kirby's Avalanche (which ended up being released later), fans speculated that ''Panel de Pon'' would face a similar treatment internationally.

* SurpriseDifficulty: Under the series' cutesy presentation lies perhaps one of the most maddening skill floors in any puzzle game, perhaps only rivaled by ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo''. And don't think that you're safe in single-player mode, as CPU opponents on higher difficulties and boss battles ''will'' smoosh you if you can't reliably make active chains.

** Making chains (especially "active"/"skill" chains), which are the basis of huge attacks and high scores, is very difficult. It requires foresight on where panels fall, as well as significant amounts of dexterity to keep things going.
** Try getting a "x?" (x14 and higher) chain in single-player Endless Mode. The board is only 6x12, meaning you need to both play dangerously close to the top and have the board filled with as many panels as the game allows for the best setups. The game acknowledges how many "x?" chains you made after the Game Over screen though, along with the other combo / chain counts.
** Beating [[FinalBoss Corderia]]/[[DolledUpInstallment Bowser]] on Hardest mode is exceedingly difficult, having incredible speed and execution that can tire you out trying to keep up.
** Corderia/Bowser can't even be fought ''on Normal'' in the Super NES version. You have to be on Hard or Hardest to face them. The same is true for Lance, as well as Gary's rematch in ''Pokémon Puzzle League'', and Mewtwo in the latter requires no less than Very Hard in order to take him on.

** Did you enjoy listening to the anime songs from the ''Pokémon 2.B.A Master CD''? Chances are, you are going to love the music in ''Pokémon Puzzle League'', which mostly consist of songs from the CD, albeit without lyrics.

I know Surge's theme is based on anime BGM. I don't know about Koga, Tracey, Giovanni, Bruno, and Mewtwo's themes.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TxMWiXeXCE The Stage Clear Credits]] is quite a beautiful tune tune. It is just called "Special Ending 4", but it is quite heartwarming as well. It also has the background set randomly.

** While most of the characters in ''Pokémon Puzzle League'' were true to their anime personalities, [[spoiler:Mewtwo]] was pretty ridiculous how he was voiced. He sounded ''annoyed'' when he was "going to wi''nnnnnnn''".
** Thanatos, from his intentionally boorish theme (made [[DarkerAndEdgier surprisingly intimidating in the GameCube version]]) to his comical expressions and design. His original depiction even had a high pitched laugh that's contrasts greatly to his appearance.

* ThatOneBoss: Butch and Cassidy in the Spa Service mode. Their level scrolls at 45, they have the rare diamond blocks to throw off basic combos and chains, and they have a very large health meter. They're even harder than Giovanni, the final boss, as while his stage features are mostly the same, his is in a 3D scrolling area that makes it easier to rack up combos and stop the scrolling. Butch and Cassidy's isn't. To make matters worse, you only get one shot to beat them; the only way to fight them more than once is to quit in the middle of the level or restart the mode.

* NintendoHard: Make no mistake, the AI on higher difficulties will ''crush you'' if you're not very familiar with the game mechanics.

Broken Base requires two contrasting sides for an example to qualify. This example was clearly one-sided, so I repurposed it into another YMMV entry


*** [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=20vRPftU_tk&t=238s Bowser's theme]] is really good here, too.

* BrokenBase: ''Planet Puzzle League'' for the DS allows you to use the stylus instead of traditional controls. You can guess how this turned out with fans, especially purists. Thankfully you could turn this feature off.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Many fans' reaction to the fairies nearly disappearing from the series. ''Planet Puzzle League'' is a sore point particularly among Japanese fans as it has no characters whatsoever, leading to accusations of the game being soulless.
