FaceBook gets two Pokemon games - Tower Battle and Medallion Battle

[Marc]

Not sure if this is anything new for FaceBook, but The Pokemon Company just added two new Pokemon games for the social networking site. They're called Pokemon Tower Battle and Pokemon Medallion Battle.

Pokemon Tower Battle is supposed to be a physics-based puzzler:

Pokémon Tower Battle, available now worldwide, is a unique take on the Pokémon franchise: players compete by stacking Pokémon against one another to create the tallest Pokémon towers. As players discover, catch and level-up rare Pokémon, they can compete in real-time against friends or across a global leaderboard. It might seem like a simple physics-based puzzler at first, but the strategic choices in where and how players stack Pokémon will determine the true Tower Battle masters.

While Pokemon Medallion Battle is a card battle strategy game, but this one will only be available in the Asia-Pacific region:

Pokémon Medallion Battle, now available to players in the Asia-Pacific region, is a digital card battle strategy game. In the game, trainers collect, battle and evolve Pokémon in medallion form and embark on a journey with their companions to win gym badges and complete their Pokédex. Players can also discover new Pokémon--introduced every month--to create even better decks.

I bet these games are to help introduce even more people to Pokemon or keep their interest in the series, if Pokemon GO was not enough, or if people don't have data to fully take advantage of the game.

So, has anyone tried either of these games yet? What are your thoughts about them?
