Exploiting The Natural Tendency Towards Greed

In playing Pokemon Trozei on the Nintendo DS (which I've mentioned in a previous post) besides leaning towards the people who like Bejeweled, it still challenges players to "Catch 'Em All", but this time, in setting up the two dimensional board so that when you get four in a row and follow it up immediately with three in a row, it can cascade down to two-in-a-row.

This is the only way to catch the rare creatures, because only one of them appears on the board at any given time and has to be set beside a Ditto (which acts like a joker) and cascaded.

At this point, even though I've finished two rounds of the story mode, I'm still only at 63% completion of all the creatures, and I admire the replayability that way, because unlike the original games, here there are no special creatures that can only be obtained through a raffle or through interaction with other players.
