Pocket Puyo Puyo~n

Pocket Puyo Puyon features a slightly different plot than its console counterparts. At the beginning of the game, Arle goes to the Puyo Circus, as she does in the original. Satan, dressed as a ringmaster takes Carbuncle and uses him as a volunteer in his magic trick. He makes Carbuncle disappear. Arle becomes distressed for her friend and bumps into Pierrot. After battling Pierrot, she then proceeds to fight all of the foes from Puyo Puyon. After defeating Doppleganger Arle, Arle appears back at the circus, where the man makes Carbuncle appear again, implying that Arle was having a daydream. The two reunite and go on with their lives.

Pocket Puyo Puyon is a simplified version of Puyo Puyon for the Game Boy Color, released in Japan in 2000. At the time of release, Sega owned the Puyo Puyo license and are credited in game, however development and publishing was still largely handled by Compile.
