[1] Note from Erikku
Wow, this game is just excellent! The best puzzler to hit the Gameboy Color!
Do you remember Kirby's Avalanche or Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine? Well,
Pocket Puyo Puyo~n is that, only while Kirby's Avlanche and Dr. Robotnik's Mean
Bean Machine are the first installment of the Puyo Puyo series, Puyo Puyo~n is
the fourth. You won't find this game anywhere in the US. Importing it is the
only way!
This is the first FAQ I've written so far. I hope it turns out well! I know
it doesn't look so good right now, but it will eventully become better. I'm
not too good at reading Japanese, I guess you could even say that I can't even
read a word of it, but I understand what is going on, and I can make this game
pretty much understandable too. Well, wish me luck on this FAQ!

[2] Story
One fine day, Arle Nadja and her pet named Kaa-Kun decide to take a visit to
the Puyo Puyo Circus! They watched all of the wonderful performances done by
the crazy opponents that they once battled in Puyo Puyo matches. For the final
act, the Ring Master does a dissapearing act! He chooses Kaa-Kun from the
crowd, and leads him into the box. Hocus-Pocus, Alakazam, PRESTO! Kaa-Kun is
gone! It was an amazing trick! Everyone loved it, but wasn't Kaa-Kun supposed
to re-appear? The Ring Master is gone, and Arle bets that he was the one who
did it, so she will now have to battle her way to victory once again, this time
to find her beloved Kaa-Kun!

will tell!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4] Practice Mode
This mode is very simple. You just have to beat three characters, Skeleton-T,
Panotty, and Kiki Mora. This mode is just here for beginners. Yet even if you
aren't a beginner, you should go through this mode. You get a picture added to
your album if you do so!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5] Story Mode
Okay now, it is up to you to help Arle out by defeating opponents in Puyo Puyo
matches! When you beat Pierrot, you will be lead to a character selection
screen with three characters. You can choose any of the three, and you don't
even have to beat all three to go to the next round, you can just skip right to
the main enemy and beat him/her to go on.
Another note, whenever you beat any of the enemies, you gain their magic power,
so it is probably best to defeat EVERY enemy when you play the first time
around.
* This star will simply mean that the character is the final opponent to beat
for the level. Like I said, you can skip right to the final opponent of the
level, beat him/her, and go on to the next level.

When you have beaten Dopple Aruru, Arle transports all the way back to the
circus where the Ring Master stand next to the box that Kaa-Kun dissapeared
into. Abra-Kadabra, POOF! Kaa-Kun is back! Arle reaches out to Kaa-Kun to
hug him, then the credits play. When the credits are done, Arle and Kaa-Kun
walk off as the Ring Master is smashed under the box that Kaa-Kun was in.
Oh, and congratulations! You have earned a picture for your album!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[7] Hard Mode
This mode really is hard, but the things you get from here are DEFINATELY worth
it! The 23 Characters in the game are randomly placed through the tournament.
You can be any character you would like. (You'll have to set this in Options if
you want to be a certain character) You'll fight yourself, and you'll fight a
few other characters that aren't found in story mode. Here are the stats of
the new characters as well as Arle Nadja:
Arle Nadja
Power- A Jamma shield is formed. It will block large attacks for about one
turn, then it will dissapear.
Difficulty- Slightly Hard
Incubus
Power- This will make Incubus' attacks different. Sun Puyos and Tokuton Puyos
will fall on you instead of normal Ojyama Puyos.
Difficulty- Normal
Honey Bee
Power- A column of Puyos are randomly selected. Up to three rows can be
removed.
Difficulty- Slightly Hard
Lagnus
Power- UNKNOWN
Difficulty- Slightly Hard
Mino
Power- Big Puyo appears on Mino's side. It will be placed wherever Mino wants
it to be placed, and it will clear two columns of Puyos.
Difficulty- Hard
Kaa-Kun
Power- Kaa-Kun himself will drop onto his screen and walk around. The Puyos
that he walks on will turn to one color, and once he gets to the bottom of the
screen, all Puyos will vanish.
Difficulty- Very Hard
There are challange points set up in every battle. If you can clear those
challange points and beat that character, you will get to keep that character's
magic power! You will now be able to use that magic power ANY TIME you want in
Story Mode, Practice Mode, Hard Mode, 2-Player Mode, or Vs. COM Mode! The
challange points are random, they change every time you fight a character. The
best tip I can give you here is to be VERY fast, and make well-sized chain
reactions, a 6 or higher chain reaction would be nice.
Now if you manage to beat Hard Mode, you'll be rewarded with a nice little
picture of Arle and Kaa-Kun. Is that it? No way! You'll find out that you'll
have two pictures added to your album as well! (I think one can be gotten half
way through Hard Mode, and the other one must be gotten once you beat it
completely). If you manage to collect every magic spell, you will be rewarded
with ANOTHER picture for the album! It takes a lot of skill to will all of the
powers, but the strength that you'll have when you get them will be very nice!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[8] Endless Mode
This mode may not seem to be too special, but there is a lot to it! You can be
any character you would like to be here (It needs to be set in Options mode if
you want to be a certain character). It doesn't matter one bit, but if you
happen to have a favorite character, this is the place to use it! When you
enter this mode, you'll have three options. You can choose from Easy, Normal,
or Hard modes.
Easy mode starts you out on Level 1.
If you have Helpers turned on, Big Puyo and Kaa-Kun will help you out now and
then.
Normal mode starts you out on Level 3.
If you have Helpers turned on, only Kaa-Kun will help you out. I highly
reccomend using this mode. I think Kaa-Kun is much more of a help than Big
Puyo is.
Hard mode starts you out on Level 5.
If you have Helpers turned on, only Big Puyo will help you out. I really don't
reccomend this. It is a nice score boost to start out with, but you probably
won't last long.
Also in this mode, you will have Ojyama Puyos constantly dropping down on you,
yet your helper will help you out more often. You can switch the Ojyamas off
in Options mode, but the helper won't come as often as they did before. I
reccomend that you do switch the Ojyamas off. It is much easier.
There is a way to get another picture in the album here! I'm not exactly sure
how though. I've been up to level 99 (Highest it will go), and when I stopped,
it gave me a new picture for the album. I'm sure that you have to get to a
high level to earn it, but I don't think it will be right on level 99. Just
try to aim for a high level.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[9] Vs. COM Mode
This is THE place to work on a enemy that you are having trouble with. You'll
be able to learn their weak-points and so on. You can be any character, and if
you've earned any magic from Hard Mode, you can use it here! You'll also be
able to edit some of the things in this mode. You can select the number of
different colored Puyos, and your opponent's magic as well.
This mode will count up the number of times you've won or lost on an enemy, try
to win as much as possible. Why? If you win more times than you've lost,
you'll earn another picture for the gallery!
There is nothing more I can say here. I've cleared pretty much everything.
Now on to the next part.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[10] Multiplayer
Here is where the fun begins! You can connect up to a friend's Pocket Puyo
Puyo~n, Pocket Puyo Puyo Sun, or Pocket Puyo Puyo Tsu. Very nice idea on being
able to connect to other versions!
Remember one thing though, if there is a character in Pocket Puyo Puyo~n that
isn't in Pocket Puyo Puyo Sun, the Puyo~n character will show up as someone
else on Puyo Sun. Example, Panotty in Puyo~n will be seen as Cait Sith in Puyo
Sun.
When you are finished battling, you won't go away empty handed, no siree.
You'll get ANOTHER picture for the album! Sheesh, you get these things
everywhere huh? I know that you get one picture for fighting against a Puyo
Sun cartridge, but I don't know if you'll get newer ones if you battle against
a Puyo~n or Puyo Tsu cart.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11] Options Menu Translation
COMING SOON
I'm sure that this part of the FAQ will be HUGE! There is a lot to do in
Options menu, it just isn't a difficulty adjustment and sound test, no. It is
much more.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12] Magic Power List
COMING SOON
This will be slightly large. There are 28 magic powers in the game, and I'll
have to test them all out to see what they do. Each power has a number, so if
you are looking for a spell to use in a battle, just look up the number and
input it into the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[13] Photo Album List
I plan on explaining the Photo Album List in detail. I'll tell about what all
it does, and what pictures you will get. I don't have all of the pictures yet,
I just need three more. I will just list the pictures that I have gotten, and
I'll once again tell how they are gotten if you don't want to bother with going
through this entire FAQ looking for a certain picture.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
